Absolute con artists - their reviews are fake.

Firstly, Effecto team - please don't bother with the stock standard 'please email us we're happy to assist' BS reply you keep putting under everyone else's posts. We email you for help and you tell us to go kick rocks, so there's no need for the facade. Their reviews are not real. Notice that for every single positive review, it is the only review that person has ever made on Trustpilot. They are all also just one generic sentence about a single feature the reviewer apparently liked. Trust me, their product is not worth signing up a brand new account to give 5 stars for. The negative reviews with one review, I do believe are real, because they have personally p**sed me off so bad I want to shout it from the rooftops. They are running a subscription model designed to exploit people who suffer from ADHD. When signing up on an iPhone, there is tiny print stating that is a subscription and that the price will more than double after your initial one week/one month/three month subscription term (I could not even read this without putting my glasses on). You have to physically scroll down to see this tiny text under the initial discounted prices and a big green 'get my plan' button. Cancelling the plan is a massive headache and can't be done in the app. Once you have signed up, there is no way to see any information about your subscription or pricing in the app - they clearly hope you will forget about it so they can drain more money from you. In fact, their website gives you instructions on how you can DELETE YOUR WHOLE ACCOUNT and again in small print at the bottom, mentions oh PS but your subscription will still remain active until you email us to stop it. So they are happy to actively suck money out of people they KNOW are not using their product. Everything about this company is designed to mislead neurodivergent people and steal excessive amounts of money from them. Don't touch them with a ten foot pole.

SCAM
SCAM! DO NOT DOWNLOAD! DO NOT MAKE ANY PURCHASES! They charged me more than once at the same time for their services and then refused to do a refund when I called them out on it. The app itself is not set up for someone with actual ADHD. It might be helpful for someone with a chronic illness but not for someone with executive dysfunction. Not worth the price. Not worth the hassle. Not worth the embarrassment of being duped. Update 6/11 I emailed again for the resolution effecto said they would offer and Jessica Bailey said that she still refuses to do any kind of refund. Do not tell me in your response that you would like to resolve billing issues if you are not actually planning on resolving.
Response from EffectoJun 10, 2025
Dear K.G., We're truly sorry you had such a frustrating experience with the Effecto app's charges and felt misled. We're urgently addressing billing issues and working to make the app more effective for those with ADHD and executive dysfunction. For immediate help with your charges and to discuss a resolution, please email us at [email protected]. Include your account email and, if possible, your order number. Sincerely, Effecto team

UNETHICAL MONEY BEFORE PEOPLE BUSINESS MODEL
I can't even remember how effective it was - I stopped using it pretty quickly so that is very telling - my main complaint is refusal to refund when I had deleted my subscription and deleted the app!
