TrustI was gonna sign up today but got sidetracked, then I checked out some reviews and I'm so glad I didn't go for it! It looks like those good reviews are totally fake, probably written by the company. Who do they think they're fooling, eh?
Deceptive billing practices
Deceptive billing practices
TrustI was totally surprised to see some sketchy charges on my account after canceling my free trial with them. Even though I got the cancellation confirmation, they still went ahead and took my money. I'm definitely going to warn all my friends and contacts to steer clear of this company. As a biz owner myself, I can't stand for shady stuff like this.
App purchase
App purchase
TrustI tried contacting customer support several times but didn't hear back. They went ahead and charged me $90 for an app that I never even downloaded on my phone. I'm really frustrated with the lack of communication and these unauthorized charges.
