UNFAIR And SNEAKY SUBSCRIPTION PRACTICES
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to share my experience so others know what to expect Predatory subscription practices. I tried their platform for a month - not realizing that I was enrolling in an auto - renewal monthly subscription. I got no email confirmation as a sign up for this. New York State laws require an acknowledgment email - a retainable acknowledgment that includes terms and conditions and an easy way to cancel. None of this was provided to me in my email. I did not even know I had signed up for auto renewal ! I did not even know I had been subscribed! When I noticed it on my Amex statements, I immediately jumped through many different confusing screens and cancelled it (at least I hope I did - reading the reviews I’m not sure!) When I brought it to their attention they told me different browsers show terms differently and they are sorry for the confusion! That’s why email confirmations in your inbox need to be sent ASYNC!! I asked for a refund and what I got was poor customer service, refusal to acknowledge that they practice a sneaky subscription technique and at the end, a lack of good faith and common sense judgment in refunding the charge. TERRIBLE SERVICE!

Hi there, We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience with Async. We can confirm that your subscription has been successfully canceled and there will be no further charges. We’d also like to clarify one point from your review. Our support team did not state that different browsers display our subscription terms differently. What was explained is that different browser software and platforms may have their own separate terms and processes. Async is a subscription-based service, and monthly plans renew automatically unless canceled. We do not send monthly renewal reminders, which is standard for recurring monthly subscriptions. The applicable subscription and renewal terms are presented during the sign-up process. While we understand that this experience was frustrating for you, we want to reassure you that our subscription practices are designed to comply with applicable subscription requirements and our published terms and conditions. We’re sorry we weren’t able to reach the resolution you were hoping for. -The Async Team
