Demanded subscription

Was immediately shoved subscription tier plans with no option to use app for free.

Response from developer

Fair — the plans come first, and there's no free tier today. Worth being clear about what that does and doesn't buy. It buys the searching: which settlements are currently open, which ones match what you've used, and when each one closes. It does not buy your payout. Filing is free on each settlement's official administrator site, we link you straight there, and every dollar awarded goes to you rather than through us. — The Collect Team

Legit a scam

1st red flag - when you get the app it’ll give you a short survey to “estimate” how much money you’ve already lost by not filling past settlements ,clicking no on every single one of the questions should mean you haven’t lost anything right? No because apparently you have lost $1019 for literally no reason also the amount of money you’ve lost changes every time the 2nd time (clicking the same answers) I apparently lost $1081

Response from developer

You caught something real, and thank you for spelling it out precisely enough that we could go check. That opening figure is meant as an illustration of what unclaimed settlement money looks like in general, not a calculation of anything owed to you — and because it varies between runs, it reads as a promise it was never meant to make. That's a genuine flaw in how we present it, not a defence, and it's going to the team to fix. What's underneath doesn't depend on trusting us: every settlement in the app is a real court-approved one, linked to its official administrator, where filing is free and the full payout goes to you. — The Collect Team

Subscription required to access the app

The only way to use is too pay a subscription to use it

Response from developer

True, and we'd rather state it plainly than dress it up: Collect is paid up front. What the subscription funds is the work — tracking which settlements are open, matching them against what you've actually used, and warning you before deadlines close. What it never funds is access to your own money. Every settlement links straight to its court-appointed administrator, filing there is free, and 100% of any payout goes to you. We never touch it and take no percentage. — The Collect Team

waste of money

don’t buy it if you’re in any other country except THE US!!! waste of money

Response from developer

You're right, and we should have said so before you paid rather than after. Our coverage is deepest in the US; Australia is early — a handful of settlements today against hundreds stateside. That gap is real and it's on us to be upfront about it. App Store purchases are refunded by Apple rather than by us, at reportaproblem.apple.com — no developer can process one directly. We're adding Australian settlements as they're filed. — The Collect Team

Can’t pay the subscription

I keep trying to pay the subscription in order to use the app but when I press annual nothing happens. Tried it on a friends android and work fine Apple not so much.

Copied Settlemate

This app literally ripped off Settlemate I wanted to see if it was cheaper but they are just scammers

Response from developer

Helping people find class-action settlements isn't something any one app owns, and we'd rather win you over on how Collect works than argue about who came first. On "scammers": every settlement in the app links to the official, court-appointed administrator, so you can verify each one independently — and you file there yourself, for free, with Collect taking 0% of any payout. That's the opposite of a scam, and all of it is checkable. Genuinely happy to answer questions at collect@ferrixlabs.com. — The Collect Team

Wasn’t what I thought

I thought this was free

Response from developer

Thanks for the 5 stars! One clarification since you expected free: filing every settlement is free — always — on the official administrator's site, and Collect never takes a percentage of what you're paid. What the subscription covers is the finding and matching: surfacing settlements you qualify for and flagging deadlines before they pass, with a free tier to look around first. Anything we can help with, we're at collect@ferrixlabs.com. — The Collect Team

Don’t waste ur time

You have to pay to use the app??? They don’t mention that in the advertisements on social media. You probably won’t even earn enough money to compensate for the loss on their subscription 🫩

Response from developer

You're right that Collect is a paid subscription, and that should be clear before you ever download — thank you for pushing on it. What it isn't is a cut of your money: filing every settlement is free on the administrator's own official site, Collect links you straight there, and we take nothing from any payout — you keep 100%. The subscription funds the other side: surfacing settlements you'd likely never hear about, matching the ones you qualify for, and warning you before deadlines pass. If it isn't for you, App Store subscriptions are refunded by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. — The Collect Team

DO NOT GET IF YOU LIVE IS AUSTRALIA

Basically every settlement is based in the US and only eligible if you’re a resident, I just wasted so much money

Response from developer

You're right, and we're sorry. The settlements Collect tracks are administered in the United States, and many are open only to US residents — so from Australia, the ones that genuinely fit you can be limited, and we should have made that clearer before you subscribed. App Store purchases are refunded by Apple, not by us, so we can't process it on our end — please request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com, and if you run into any trouble, email us at collect@ferrixlabs.com and we'll help however we can. — The Collect Team

Have to pay a subscription

Just downloaded this app and now I’m uninstalling because you have to pay a subscription. I already pay enough subscription fees I do not need to pay for more.

Response from developer

Totally fair — subscription fatigue is real. For transparency: the subscription is what funds a team researching and verifying new settlements every day and matching them to you. We never take a cut of your payouts, and every claim links to the settlement's official site. If Collect isn't for you, no hard feelings — and collect@ferrixlabs.com reaches a human if we can help. — The Collect Team

I think they’re promoting through influencers

Multiple accounts on TikTok using the same script, once you even get to the app, you would have to pay monthly or yearly to use it. It’s feeling very suspicious

Response from developer

You're right that we work with creators — it's how a small company gets the word out, same as most consumer apps. It doesn't change what the app is: every settlement in Collect links to the official court-appointed administrator's site, so you can verify each one independently before paying us anything. Questions welcome: collect@ferrixlabs.com — The Collect Team

Pay wall

Have to pay to use the app, I’ve done settlements before and didn’t have to pay a dime, so, not worth it.

Response from developer

You're right — you can file settlements yourself for free, and we say so: every claim in Collect links to the settlement's official site. What the subscription buys is the finding: hundreds of open settlements tracked, matched to your eligibility, with deadline reminders. If DIY works for you, genuinely no hard feelings. — The Collect Team

👎👎👎

can’t do or see anything in the app w out paying

Paying to get your money

Paying to get your own money is wild , I was under the impression this was a free app that helped you claim your own money that’s owed to you smh

Response from developer

One clarification: you never pay us out of your settlement money — payouts go 100% to you, straight from the official claim administrator. The subscription covers the service around it: finding settlements, matching your eligibility, deadline alerts. Filing directly on official sites is always free, with or without us. — The Collect Team

Questions

Just said what I missed

Response from developer

Sorry it felt that way. New settlements open every week, so the list changes constantly — the app's job is to catch the next ones before their deadlines close. If your feed only showed expired claims, something's off: email collect@ferrixlabs.com and we'll take a look. — The Collect Team

Can’t click monthly option

I can’t click the monthly option. Tried installing the app several times. Then I tried yearly and nothing happens. There is a problem if anyone is reading this.

Response from developer

Someone's reading — and that sounds like a bug on our end. Could you email collect@ferrixlabs.com with your iPhone model and iOS version? We'll get it fixed. Make sure you're on the latest app version in the meantime. Sorry for the hassle. — The Collect Team

money grab

don’t bother downloading!!! less than a minute in opening the app it’s giving you options to pay them and can’t move forward without subscribing.

Response from developer

We hear you — the paywall comes early. Collect is a paid service by design: the subscription funds daily settlement research and matching, and we never take a cut of your payouts (those go 100% to you from the official administrators). If that trade isn't for you, fair enough. collect@ferrixlabs.com for anything. — The Collect Team

No UK settlements

I downloaded this as a UK user and paid the annual subscription and when I got on there isn’t anything for the UK and you can’t even set your country as UK. i want a refund

Response from developer

You're right, and we're sorry — Collect currently covers US, Canada and Australia settlements, and we don't yet support the UK. You shouldn't pay for something you can't use: request a refund from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com (Apple handles all App Store billing), and email collect@ferrixlabs.com if you hit any trouble — we'll help. — The Collect Team

No thanks

can’t sign in without using Google or Apple logins. That’s a no for me. I’m an “email/password only login” for privacy purposes. No reason to have access to any of my data I don’t enter myself. Subscription cancelled. Sadly they got some of my money already. $ before login!!

Response from developer

Fair feedback — and we acted on it: email/password sign-in is now in the app, no Google or Apple account required. On the money side, Apple handles App Store refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com, and collect@ferrixlabs.com can check your subscription status any time. — The Collect Team

For me

Just started using it, can’t give a review just yet.

Response from developer

Thanks for giving it a real shot. If anything's confusing while you get set up, collect@ferrixlabs.com reaches a human. Hope the app finds you money. — The Collect Team
