I want to cancel it, but can’t find any link thanks allows me to complete a cancellation request. Very unsatisfactory!! ### 1/5 — Forces you to pay subscription *2020-05-13* I downloaded and it won’t move off the “premium” screen. Fortunately I didn’t get charged, but you CANNOT use the free access. ### 1/5 — Failed to scan? *2020-05-11* With no help and the specter of charges looming I downloaded and it failed to scan at the location I needed it for so I tried all of 15 min then deleted the app! Should not be this difficult!!! Take you chances if you want but I’m out!!! ### 1/5 — RIP off *2020-05-08* OMG. Not till it’s loaded does it say is $17 a week. ### 1/5 — Rubbish! *2020-05-08* The app does not allow you to use the limited version. Avoid. ### 1/5 — How to cancel subscription *2020-05-08* Since the app forces you to go through the “free trial” here’s how you can cancel it: go into your user account in the AppStore, and look under “subscriptions” you should see it there and select cancel. Putting this here so I can help others who downloaded this and can’t figure out how to cancel the free trial (and eventual subscription) because there is no option to do so in the app itself, or the settings app. Also if your reading this, don’t buy this app, buy any QR scanner app after checking to see if it has good reviews! I hope I helped somebody avoid being scammed! :) ### 1/5 — Over priced app *2020-05-06* I downloaded this app and did not see any explicit notification that it was a weekly cost of $10. Very difficult to find directions for terminating the app and charge for the app. ### 1/5 — this is scam app *2020-05-06* scam scam ### 1/5 — Cancellation *2020-05-02* It is extremely unclear how to cancel your subscription. Even after deleting the app from the phone, i was charged. Don’t make it difficult for customers, that’s a bad CX. Just focus on good products, customers will follow. ### 1/5 — Costly SCAM! (& Your phone does this.) *2020-05-02* Seriously they mean to wrap you in and get you to pay $60 a month for this task because it can be tricky to unsubscribe. First- Get the free already installed QR code through the control center on your iPhone. Don’t pay these guys. Second- if you do this and risk being charged $15 in 2 days time... go to your confirmation email immediately from apple and click that link to unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — Money grab!! *2020-05-01* This app is another money grab ### 1/5 — SCAM, SCAM, SCAM *2020-04-23* Apple needs to take this site down because unless you go through all the fine print you don’t get a 3 day FREE TRIAL!!! What it tells you is that you can cancel anytime after they take a $12.95 charge for the first week. I understand that they do state this but you have to go through all of their fine print to seek it out. Very very unscrupulous and they are just thieves. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-04-22* I agree w/ godough8. I couldn’t even get the “continue with limited version” to take my tap. ### 1/5 — Scam. Over £9 a week *2020-04-21* Total joke. These guys are just trying to make money from people forgetting to cancel. Shameful. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2020-04-21* I want that 2 minutes of my life back. ### 1/5 — SCAM! DONT GET! *2020-04-20* Depending on the age of your phone your camera has a free QR reader built in. This is just a scam. ### 1/5 — Tricked into paying. *2020-04-20* The free trail pops up and if you accept you actually pay for this app. I immediately contacted them and asked for my money back. Nothing yet. ### 1/5 — Con. *2020-04-20* £10 a week? Get stuff you rip off merchants. ### 1/5 — Automatically chargers you *2020-04-18* Don’t use this app they have no way to turn off automatic payments ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Craigover *2020-07-31* This is the worst app in the universe and should be avoided more than herpes. I would rather have given my money to an African prince in order for them to gain their inheritance than waste a single cent on this low rent poor excuse for a scam. I would rather have Covid snot on my phone than this shame of a web site. ### 1/5 — Cost me $180 before I noticed this weekly subscription. *2020-06-24* Don’t know how this is allowed on the App Store. Straight crooks as I did not agree to pay $10 per week. ### 1/5 — Mr *2020-06-03* Fucking stealing my money ### 1/5 — Sneaky charges. Beware *2020-05-28* Do not recommend. I was charged $15 per fortnight and I don't use the app. Not value for money ### 1/5 — Omg *2020-05-27* Didn’t show the price until you load it. 17 per week. Very bad ### 1/5 — Subscription charges *2020-05-25* I download it this app just to see what it was like because it said it was free and they they started charging my account weekly. So please be careful before you download this app. ### 1/5 — P deveney *2020-05-19* This app is disgracefull It is impossible to contact you or cancel I will take this further it is now clear the type of people I am dealing with when I looked at the reviews ### 1/5 — money grabbing a holes *2020-05-17* do not, repeat do not download, $15.49 per WEEK subscription is outrageous! trying to figure out how to unsubscribe now but not finding it easy. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2020-05-16* Can’t even get into the app because I am stuck on the subscription screen just find a different we app if I were you ### 1/5 — Crap *2020-05-15* Tried to use, could not get past the “buy premium” option. So free is a lie! Dont waste your time! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great product *2020-12-23* I love the Snakehive phone covers and ordered a new one before I’d even upgraded the phone.
