Reviews of Shortform

  • Highlights

    1. When reviewing the highlight pages it would be better for them to be listed in order of where they appear in the book - the first highlight should be from page 1, the second from page 2, etc., rather than in order of the date you made the highlight.

    2. When I’m on the highlight summary page and click “goto highlight” it does not take me to the highlight. What am I doing wrong?

  • Good idea but poor execution

    Good idea but poor execution. Hard to use. Not intuitive. Wish I could have used it better. I had high hopes. Also poor customer service and automated processes that don't use common sense. They tried to bill my card 3 times after I cancelled after a year of a paid subscription. I emailed them several times to ask them to stop. My credit card company finally considered it fraudulent and made me change my number, which was a pain. Be warned.
  • Customer Service: Terrible / Content: Wonderful

    I had enjoyed Shortform for about a year but was not using it enough to justify the roughly $200/year cost. When I went to cancel in the application I made a mistake and accidentally resubscribed. I realized my mistake and immediately (within a few minutes) emailed the company to ask for a refund. They denied my request on the grounds that since I confirmed the renewal they didn’t have to provide a refund.

    To be clear, I realize that I made the mistake and that they are within the rights to refuse the refund. However, this is a terrible business practice and one that I wanted others to know about. I will never use Shortform again because of how they acted in this situation.

    The content is wonderful but the poor quality of customer service far outweighs the quality of content.

    Developer Response
