Just Another ADHD Scam

So many apps claiming to help ADHD. This one is the worst. Due to some creative wording I ended up paying over $300 for a lifetime subscription. My fault for not reading carefully enough- I thought the fee was the overall total, not in addition to the yearly fee I’d already paid. The following year, I was charged another annual subscription fee. I emailed them, managed to get my money back, but they cancelled my account. I emailed them again reminding them that I paid for lifetime access and I wanted it back. They claim they restored it but every time I try to login it just makes me subscribe again. I give up. I’m tired of emailing them. This is just a way for them to profit off our inattentive tendencies. I’m out a large sum of money and have absolutely nothing to show for it.

Ordered a year ago, no renewal notice

For an app designed to help people with ADHD, not ADHD friendly! No renewal sent after the subscription was issued a year ago. I totally forgot I made this impulsive purchase to help my ADHD. Tried contacting the company. Emails bounce back no matter what addresses I can find to use. Now I don’t have enough money to pay my rent so thanks for that.

Scam

Payment taken even though I cancelled the subscription through Apple. No refund issued. Not using it at all and am stuck with the app.

Don’t buy this

As previous reviews have stated, they don’t stand by their product and will take your money if you don’t cancel, which I’m sure I did but they won’t return my money!

Absolute scam

I downloaded this garbage app to try through the App Store. Was randomly charged a subscription fee a year later through PayPal and NOT through the subscriptions on the App Store which makes no sense. No reminder of an upcoming charge which is obviously intentional. I don’t even have the app anymore I was 100% sure I canceled. Do not even try this is absolutely set up as a money grab and is not a legitimate app.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. It seems the subscription might have been purchased directly through our website, which is why it wouldn’t appear in the App Store. Subscriptions made this way need to be canceled by contacting us at help@effecto.app. Please email us with your account email and, if possible, your order number so we can review this further and assist you. Sincerely, Team Effecto

Overcharged

I have signed up for a week plan and paid for it. I was not really i
pressed by it to be honest so I was glad it was only a week.
I later found a charge for £24,49 I did not authorise. I am trying to get in touch with them to dispute this transaction but no success.

Cant use app

Would have loved to try it but I can’t move past the “what would you like to track” page which is blank and won’t let me press the continue button. I deleted and redownloaded the app and even switched to a different internet to see if it was me but no luck.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing with the "What would you like to track" page. It sounds like a technical glitch, and we truly apologize for the inconvenience. To resolve this, please reach out to us at help@effecto.app with details about your device and any errors you’ve encountered. We’re here to help and appreciate your patience as we work on resolving this for you. Sincerely, Team Effecto

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ITS A SCAM

It’s a very sophisticated scam that takes your money but is not cancellable. You can’t contact anybody and it won’t show in subscriptions. Theyve taken £100 from my bank account so far.

Complete scam

Taken money again, n notification, nothing to say be subscribed and doesn’t even appear on my apple subscriptions. I don’t know how this can be legal or how they get away with it. I hav emailed but I don’t even know how to cancel otherwise. If they cancel it for me that would be a start but I can’t actually see any way to stop even stop it otherwise as I can’t cancel through Apple.

This should be completely illegal. Apple you need to take them down from the App Store immediately.
