Billed me even though I don't have a subscription!

I answered the quiz & did the trial. Then unsubscribed & deleted immediately. This program is not as good as TheFabulousApp (the name they piggybacked onto)

Even though the FABU app shows I don't have a subscription, they just billed me! Still the app says I don't have a subscription. They make it impossible to find customer service!

Please REFUND MY MONEY ASAP!

Response from developer

We’re sorry you completed the trial, canceled, and deleted the app, only to see an unexpected charge afterward—especially when the app showed no active subscription. We also regret that it was difficult to find a way to reach our support team. Please contact us at support@fabu.care so we can review the charge and help resolve this as quickly as possible.

Such a great app!!👍👍

Terrible customer service

Charged me for a subscription even though I had cancelled the trial before the deadline.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear you weren’t aware of the subscription charge after canceling your trial before the deadline, and we understand how upsetting that must have been. We’d like to look into what happened and clarify the situation for you. Please contact our support team at support@fabu.care so we can review your account and assist you further. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

This is the first app that has honestly given me some hope

Accountability

Deceptive!

Beware of difficulty cancelling trial subscription. I activated the trial but there’s no history of this app in my purchases or subscription history so I assumed I was not enrolled When the first month bill notifications arrived I attempted to get a refund within minutes but they refused. Scam!!

Don’t look for your money back on their guarantee

Thought I’d try it and found out it is as piddly, pokey and screen time intensive as other ones. I thought this one may be more streamlined, wrong. I figured it out in less than 24 hrs that I wasn’t interested not was I going to ‘do’ their program so I requested refund with explanation and was denied.

Quick response time to my requests but their responses were all ‘copy-paste’ of same thing they said in prior email.

Apparently for the 30 day guarantee … you have to request refund before 30 days is up AND yet complete journal plus do the other 20 things everyday for the full 30 days … then maybe they will REVIEW your request to get money back. I told them to keep it.

Not impressed.

If ADHD requires seeking help, this app is for you.

I have been using it for three months. I was depressed to the point of barely getting out of bed, with children, home stuff, husband, and work on the line… yet, little by little the prompts helped me find a north again. I’m a work in progress but i take my meds, breathe, do my affirmations and mind my appearance a lot more often. Also, their customer service is really helpful and responsive if you ever need them. Thrilled with this app. Has made a real difference. **Do not confuse it with Fabulous (another “getting things done” type of App for neurodivergent people, which is hard to navigate, cluttered, and complicated) - I used it for about a month and went back to Fabu. Don’t hesitate to try Fabu. It’s worth it. It’s easy, and it works!

Charges you even though you cancelled the subscription MONTHS AGO!!

I don’t even use this service and they charge me $29 a month despite canceling in March. Don’t get hooked!!

Billing Errors, App Glitches, and No Customer Service

I cannot recommend this app.

UPDATE. Per Fabu’s response to this review, I emailed them on 6/3, followed up on 6/5, and again on 6/9. STILL NO RESPONSE FROM THE DEVELOPER’S SUPPORT. I used the email they provided which is the same one on the app.

My experience started with billing issues and was made worse by a complete lack of customer support. When I signed up, I was charged $9.99 for a one-week trial. While completing my profile, I was prompted to purchase a yearly membership for $79.99. I agreed because the app states that users can receive a full refund after a 30-day trial period if they actively use the app daily, including journaling.

I contacted support via the app to the email that the developer constantly refers bad reviews to, to clarify whether my membership term would include the week I had already paid for, but I never received a response. Then, after only one week, I was charged an additional $39.99 for a monthly membership while also having an active annual membership. I immediately contacted support again and received no response.

Unfortunately, the problems didn’t stop there. I reported multiple technical issues through the app, including:

* Repetitive affirmations and activities being shown repeatedly
* Quizzes repeating instead of advancing to new content
* Quizzes failing to load and prompting me to retake assessments that produced the same results
* Recommendations appearing in a language I don’t speak or understand
* A glitch that erased my streak count

Not a single support request has been answered.

Even if the technical and billing issues didn’t exist, I would still find the app disappointing. The content is extremely repetitive and lacks depth. Many of the educational sections are so basic that I was able to answer the quiz questions correctly without reading the material. I don’t need an app reminding me every day to press my palms together, stretch my fingers, turn my head with intention, or read nearly identical affirmations over and over again.

Between the duplicate charges, unresolved technical issues, and complete absence of customer support, this has been the most frustrating and overpriced app experience I’ve ever had.

Horrible

I can’t use the app and because it is stuck on the download your guide book page I also cannot cancel the subscription so I am about to get charged an unknown amount for a worthless app subscription and the customer support is not helping

Fraud- Awful Customer Care

I never signed up for this app. I was supposed to have a seven day free trial and they kept charging me despite numerous emails to their customer service, which is the only way to contact them to get them to stop to no avail. If this was a reputable business, they would not make it so difficult for people to contact them and they wouldn’t be fraudulently charging. Accounts they’re not authorized to.

Response from developer

Hi Jiminy, we're very sorry to hear about your experience, and we want to address this directly. Being charged for a subscription you didn't sign up for — and then not being able to get help — is something we take extremely seriously. We never want any user to feel ignored or treated unfairly, and we completely understand why this feels unacceptable. Please contact us at support@fabu.care with the email address associated with your account. We will personally investigate the charges and, if confirmed, issue a full refund. Your case will be handled as a priority.

Newbie

I’m just starting out and have big expectations

Was working on my phone

I was having a great time working with this program. It was helping me manage my PTSD. I can’t get it to return.

I Wish I could Like it

I love the idea of this, but I wish I could edit the tasks. I don’t want to do the ones that are automatically on there. I’ve searched the app for a way to but I can’t seem to find it.

Scam

Trying to cancel for two months. Wanted me to pay for a letter to cancel. Very basic app with exercises designed for ultimate beginners. Very unhappy.

Waste of money

Just bought today. Assigned me the wrong type. It was silly and absolutely childish. How is dressing a little character help with anything? Also canceled today. Complete waste of time and money

Fees, FEES, no trial period - can’t unsubscribe without ** fees!

Signed up to this app in Trial mode after reading the Ts and Cs.
Once you get in and select what you want they present a fees screen from which you can only choose from a number of different high repeating fees BEFORE you can start the so called TRIAL period They have already taken TWO fees for US$28 from Ppal
I tried to access the unsubscribe option - went around in circles. no luck….
DO NOT SET UP THIS SCAM SITE.

a. Reaching out to PayPal to try and exit with a refund of trial fees.
Really disappointed 😱😱😱

Self care?

I thought I was getting my archetype and I got this. Wish I could return it and get my money back

Be careful

$80 for 12 weeks? I can’t review the app as I never really used it, but the subscription fee is crazy and you don’t get any reminders about it coming up till they’ve already taken the money. READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS especially about refunds. Essentially this seems like a scam as they only take money and are nearly impossible to deal with. The $80 might not seem like a lot to some people, but it was a shock to me and I was not prepared to suddenly pay that kind of cost for an app that I never even used
