Taken payment without notification or subscription

I don’t have a subscription with you and I don’t use the app at all it’s awful and you’ve taken another payment! How do I cancel this?!? You are not having £25/month off me for something I don’t use!

Edit following your response. I definitely brought it on my iPhone through the App Store and did not sign up for a subscription! I will email for a refund but won’t hold my breath if other reviews are anything to go by.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and want to help resolve this issue as quickly as possible. If you’re still being charged, it’s likely that the subscription was purchased directly through our website rather than the Apple App Store. To cancel, please contact us at help@effecto.app with your account email and, if possible, your order number, and we’ll ensure the subscription is canceled and no further charges are made. We understand your frustration and are here to assist you further. Sincerely, Team Effecto

Not bad

I enjoyed logging my moods and it is very detailed. However I do not find the subscription price to be worth the features.

Don’t do it.

There is no free trial. Don’t ever sign up for anything doesn’t offer a free trial. The app rarely works to be able to tell you it’s worth it. You can’t cancel your subscription through your Apple account you have to reach out to them directly which there is no communication opportunities through the app so save all your emails from purchasing if you choose to because other wise you won’t get it until they charge you again and by then it’s too late and you won’t get a refund either.

They will take an annual payment even if you cancel, and won’t refund your money

I bought a year subscription but cancelled it as I wasn’t using it at all. This year, I was charged again (without an email to warn that they will be taking the money), and when I asked for a refund, they refused to give it. DON’T SUBSCRIBE, you will be dealing with the same thing as me when trying to cancel.

This App Is A Total Con - AVOID !

Everytime I attempt to download a plan the app tells me to subscribe to receive it, however I am already subscribed and have made 3x payments.

It’s a broken loop of me paying for the app but it refusing to allow me to use it unless a phantom payment is made.

I have spoken the company several times about this issue and they have been zero help.

Total Con

Confusing and not suitable for people with ADHD. I had it for a year and it remained unused. It isn’t user friendly at all and causes frustration and overwhelm more than anything else.

To make matters worse, I’ve not received an email from this company since January 1st this year. I was charged for another year of useless technology without a reminder or even an invoice for payment. Nor did I get one last year.

The cancellation process is a nightmare too. I suggest you block all future payments directly with your bank. I have emailed them and requested a refund but I don’t hold much hope.
