Reviews of Kickstarter

  • You will lose money

    Be prepared to lose your money. I have funded 18 projects this year. One was unsuccessful, I have received 3 of my “rewards”, 3 of them collected my money, posted an update about how grateful they are and saying they’re beginning production and then I never heard from them again I no longer expect to and the rest I’m hopeful about but may very well lose that money also. Kickstarters is upfront about the rewards not being guaranteed but also seem unwilling to help. These scammers may very well “have their access suspended” but they just create a new account and do it again. Overall I’m extremely dissatisfied with my experience in the platform and probably will not back another campaign. Also, there is so much time that elapses between completion of the campaign and when the rewards are expected that you cannot file a claim with the bank. Discover Card won’t let you back any projects from Hong Kong—that is where nearly every creator who has gotten over on me has been operating from.

  • Beware of Scammers

    The app works well, but as for Kickstarter the company… beware of scammers and unhelpful customer service. I backed a project DESIGNED FOR KIDS that turned out to be a scam. After all the backers tried to get a refund from the creator, wrote HUNDREDS of messages to the creator and Kickstarter, reported the project, and filed for a charge backs at our banks (which did not succeed for most), Kickstarter won’t do anything. I have contacted them alone about 4-5 times and they ignore my messages asking for an update. They claim “we’ve escalated your message to our Trust & Safety team for them to take a look” but months go by and nothing… The creator went against multiple Kickstarter policies which were pointed out to Kickstarter and they don’t care. I understand we are backing a concept, but for you to not abide by your own policies or help the people that fund your site, it’s wrong. It’s one thing for the project to not come to fruition, but a completely other one if the company ends up not being legit and stealing. Kickstarter needs to do a better job vetting these “companies” before ripping off a bunch of people. I won’t use it again.

  • Horrible customer service

    I literally downloaded kickstarter solely for a single project I seen online I was interested in. A project, I won’t be able to actually get any thing out of now thanks to Kickstarters extremely horrible app, and bad customer service. Why this app has a 4.8 rating I can’t understand. Kickstarter never charged my card, saying it was a payment failure. Cool, maybe it’s my fault and I entered the card details again presuming I messed up. 2 days left in the project, nothing. So I contact support. That..is..a..joke. I’d rather be at the DMV. So because I signed up with Apple ID, pretty normal as an Apple user, they pretty much can’t help me. Because they can’t verify the account is me. Despite answering all the petty unrelated questions they’ve asked, and providing numerous screenshots. The kicker, the last email I receive from support said they won’t remove my Apple ID and change it to an email account (which why this is an issue to my payment processing still hasn’t been explained), and to log in on a web browser to make the appropriate changes to my payment information. Tell me, how does that EVEN make sense? Knowing of course I CANT log into a web browser with Apple ID as the account info. This terrible first time experience will result in my never using kickstarter again. Uninstalled.
