EffectoReviews of effecto.app

Same as other reviews, I signed up for a 7 day plan and they've started taking a monthly subscription that I never agreed to. Absolute disgrace!!!

I subscribed 2 years ago, when I was in a very poor mental health state, and was never an active user. One year ago I was charged the annual plan again, without any notice, and immediately requested the cancellation and a refund. They refused to refund me but confirmed the cancellation. Yesterday I was surprised to see another charge on my credit card. This is an evil company that takes advantage of vulnerable people and profits out of ghost users. Once again, they provided me with no notice of renewal and no opportunity to cancel before the "renewal" date, even though I never used their services and received a cancellation confirmation one year ago. I have already contacted them about this new charge, so I expect an honest reply to this review and more importantly, the actual cancellation of the services I never used, and the complete removal of my data from their systems. Shame on you!

So etwas ist mir noch nie passiert! Ich habe ein Probe-Abo gelöst und zu spät gekündigt. Als ich es bemerkte (im November 2024) habe ich die App im Apple-Store gekündigt und meinen Account auf Effecto gelöscht. Kürzlich habe ich festgestellt, dass auf meiner Kreditkartenabrechnung monatlich einen Betrag (bereits 4x unberechtigt!!!!!) abgebucht wird, den ich nicht einordnen kann - von Effecto! DAS IST EINE FRECHHEIT! Ich habe mich per Mail bei Effecto gemeldet, aber da wird sich ja wohl niemand melden, wie ich es den anderen Bewertungen entnehmen kann. Daher werde ich meinen Rechtschutz einschalten müssen!

I was unaware that I had signed up for the app, like others here. Discovered unexpected payments when checking outgoings. I am unable to use the app yet have had multiple charges to my bank account. My bank are aware that Effecto and other similar apps are predatory but want me to contact the company first. I have cancelled all further payments but doubt I’ll ever see a penny back for a service I neither want nor ever used. Steer clear.

What a super, super bad app service. I’m absolutely not happy with my experience with this company. In December, I received confirmation of my cancellation: my subscription would end in December, as confirmed. I never used the app again. I found it way too text-heavy, and the exercises were mediocre in content. Then, three months later, I suddenly get charged €50!!! Total scammers. I emailed them, but they refuse to refund me because apparently, their terms stated that another hefty charge would follow. Never buy the Effecto app!!!!! They are absolute scammers.

This app is a complete scam. I took the quiz got my results was very interested, but in doing a little research, I saw reviews saying that they will charge your account without your permission and that it was a scam. Because they will set you up with an account and charge you without you ever completing the purchase. That is what happened to me. I had gone to the check out and linked my PayPal but never clicked complete transaction but yet I have been charged 180 dollars till I realized I was paying for a subscription I never started. I never received anything in the mail like the books they show on instagram and I never got a purchase confirmation email or an account and login. Upon bringing this to their attention, they tell me everything was delivered properly but again nothing ever came. This is just a money grab from an overseas company. Look at their BBB ratings. Effecto. I have reached out to your team and your team told me I was properly billed even though I never received anything and I never got a login for your app. I’ve asked them to provide me proof of delivery or a login or a confirmation email and they have neglected to turn over anything so posting on here to reach out to them is not resolving the issue. Please have someone contact me directly.

Vorsicht! Absolute Abzocke... Ein angeblich abgeschlossenes Abo, weder eine Eingangsbestätgung, noch irgendeine E-Mail erhalten... buchgen über Paypal ab... Frechheit!!!

DO NOT SIGN UP TO FREE TRIALS/SUBSCRIPTIONS This app is extremely predatory to people with ADHD. They use people’s desperation for help managing their ADHD to sucker them into a free trial which I feel they intentionally make 3 months long so it is long enough to forget the fact you didn’t pay for the subscription over an App Store, but instead did it online, so that, if you do remember to check to cancel the free trial (most people with ADHD will not remember to check at all), you think you already have because it’s not under your subscription list, so you think you’ve already cancelled. I think they also make it 3 monthly rather than monthly to make it harder to spot when checking your bank statements for reoccurring charges. They also don’t have an easy way to cancel, you have to go into the app, into the help section, find the relevant article, which doesn’t format itself properly so you can’t read it in full. Anyway, it said something about emailing them so I just decided to email the customer support and hope for the best. Really predatory. Considering how easy it was to sign up, it should be just as easy to cancel but they make it as difficult and stressful as possible Also, the app isn’t even good. All their claims about being scientifically made to help people with ADHD is nonsense. It’s bloody £41 every 3 months for absolutely nothing! They’ve just found a hack to use the typical scummy subscription app tactics to specifically target a demographic of people with a learning disability which means they’re more likely to fall for them.
