Appalling Appalling - their `free` trial is nothing like that - it is $60! Be warned and stay away - I am chasing a refund now.I It is particularly bad as they purport to raise you up and enlighten,while emptying your pocket! Lowbrow would be a better name - disgusting.

Highbrow....I am so happy to find it ! I consider Highbrow as my greatest finding on internet this year. Phenomenal learning tool for very busy people with wide range of subjects available for learning. Easy-bite lessons delivered daily are dream come true for people devoted to life long learning. I find it most useful for introduction into subjects that I found interesting, but I am still not sure do I want do dedicate much time into learning them. Aleksandar from Serbia

Here's the deal Pros: sleek design, interesting content Cons: content lacks depth and skews toward generic truisms; they don't honor customer satisfaction - if you don't like their product, then you're stuck with it for a year and the $48 USD price Observations: they send the course(s) you choose, otherwise you don't hear from them

No notice of impending subscription expiration; No refunds Stay away; it's a LOWBROW business model. I had a trial subscription at a reduced rate. On the evening of the trial expiration date I received a receipt for a year's subscription ($60+) that included a statement that if I canceled the subscription by that date, I wouldn't be charged, even though they had already charged me. I promptly canceled (on said date), but Highbrow denied my request for a refund. The predatory practices of such subscription-based services are disgusting.

Highbrow International is what I think… Highbrow International is what I think of as this year's best internet discovery. Excellent learning tool with a wide variety of subjects available for those who are extremely busy. Daily, easy-to-digest lessons are a dream come true for those who are committed to lifelong learning. I find it most helpful as an introduction to topics that I find interesting but am still unsure of whether I want to invest a lot of time in learning.
