Charged me without my knowledge

I signed up for 1 week to try out the app and paid around $4. I never agreed to a subscription. Before I knew it the next week I was charged $31 out of nowhere for “weekly subscription.” I never signed up for a subscription or agreed to anything like that. I could not find anything on the app to cancel it, so I had to do it through PayPal, or else I guess I would have continued to be charged $31 a week? Lesson learned, don’t sign up for random apps you see on Facebook. Be careful!

We apologize for any confusion regarding the subscription charges. Effecto’s weekly subscription option renews automatically unless canceled, and we’re actively working to make these details clearer within the app. For further assistance, please reach out to help@effecto.app with your account email and order number, and we’ll look into your case. Sincerely, Team Effecto

Questionable ethics

The company uses urgency marketing e.g. the presence of a countdown timer when showing various sign up offers.

Considering the target customers are people with ADHD, a subset of people with a known predisposition to impulsivity, I question the company’s ethics in their use of aforementioned marketing strategy.

Avoid rip off!

You get duped into a subscription- takes advantage of vulnerable people.

Cancel subscription??

I thought I had cancelled?? Obviously not because I have just been charged $94! So I think ok might as well log in again and use it…but it states this account has been closed?? Someone help please??

Scam. You think you cancelled but they will still charge you. They purposely hide the fact.

read all reviews. I had the same experience. I thought I cancelled and suddenly a year later I get charged. I open the app and there’s no way to cancel. Trash.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with canceling the subscription. If the subscription was purchased directly through our website, it can’t be canceled through the app. Instead, you can manage it by contacting our support team at hello@effecto.app. If you purchased it through the Apple App Store, you’ll need to cancel it directly via your Apple account. We’re here to help resolve this, so please reach out with any questions. Sincerely, Team Effecto

Terrible service and continue taking your money!

This is a terrible app, they offer onboarding service and no one shows up to the meeting invite they set up. Then they continue to take payments without advising when next payment is. I want a refund for the last payment you took from me. Do not engage with this app or developer.

We’re actively working to improve our processes and appreciate your feedback. Sincerely, Team Effecto

Designed to trick people with ADHD

Take care, the menu is designed to trick you into thinking this is a free App, when you come to look at it months from signing up. You won’t see that you have a subscription. You have to contact help by email to unsubscribe. Developers are taking advantage of people with ADHD as they know how disorganised they are.

We’re sorry to hear you feel this way. Effecto aims to provide clear information about subscriptions during checkout, in our welcome email, and in the terms. For users who purchased directly from us, you can easily cancel by contacting hello@effecto.app, while Apple App Store subscriptions need to be managed through your Apple account. Your feedback on making this process clearer is valuable, and we’re working on ways to improve the experience for everyone. Sincerely, Team Effecto

SCAM ALERT

I took advantage of the free trial. I did not find the app helpful, so canceled. Now, months later, I’ve discovered that they have continued to charge me monthly. I have emailed to request a refund, but from the other reviews I’m reading, I’m not hopeful this will be resolved.

We apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with Effecto. It’s essential to us that cancellations are processed correctly, and we’re actively working to improve this process. If your subscription was canceled via the App Store, please double-check that you don’t also have a direct subscription with us. For further assistance, please email help@effecto.app with your account email and order number, and we’ll look into resolving this for you. Sincerely, Team Effecto

Unhelpful and a scam

This app is designed to take advantage of those it claims to help. It is never made clear that they will be taking money every three months and you are not advised of a payment before it is taken. Cancelling the subscription is much harder than it should be and they refuse any refunds. All the marketing for this is a lie and the app doesn’t work as advertised. Do NOT download this app.

If you still need assistance with your subscription, please email help@effecto.app with your account email and order number, and we’ll do our best to help resolve this. Sincerely, Team Effecto
