Effecto is a complete scam!
Effecto i a complete scam! I tried the free week trial, i decided it wasnt for me. So i cancelled it then found £49.99 taken out of my bank without my consent. I sent customer service an email explaining what had happened. They said we dont do refunds. So basically i dont have freedom of choice. They have stolen £50 of me and won't return it. If i could give zero stars i would. Please beware this company!

Do not under any circumstances sign up for this app - they are predators.
EDIT: Their replies including their reply to my message make it sound like they are interested in assisting with a resolution, however below is the email I received from Jessica from Effecto after my enquiry. They have no interest in assisting. Buyer BEWARE.
Your subscription has been canceled, and no further charges will occur.
However, you may still use your plan until the current subscription ends.
That being said, since the item was correctly delivered, unfortunately, we are unable to issue you a refund.
As per our Terms and Conditions, which you agreed to upon purchase, all sales of digital products are final and non-refundable unless the product failed to be delivered due to a technical fault on our end.
Please let me know if you have any further inquiries.
----
Effecto's predatory subscription model is in ABSOLUTE BREACH of Australian Consumer law. Come July they will also be in breach of the FTC's click to cancel law in the US. Australian Consumer Law clearly states that Subscription traps occur when businesses mislead consumers into signing up for a subscription by representing that the consumer is only making a one-off purchase, or by making cancellation of a subscription difficult. Both of these misrepresentations apply in spades to Effecto's model.
I have never received an invoice or receipt from Effecto. Since originally signing up for a free trial (which I never used - I have to this day not used the app at all), I have no way of seeing any information about the plan I've allegedly subscribed to, or why the pricing has leaped up to an astronomical $80.99 every three months. You can't manage or view your plan in the app, nor any other details about your account. YOU CANNOT UNSUBSCRIBE THROUGH THE APP - they make you email them and have a "no refund" policy, how absolutely scummy is that. How can you justify charging for a subscription when your customers have no way of seeing what the subscription actually is or access any details about it? They do not send any notice of upcoming renewals. I am 70 years old with ADHD, you can imagine how difficult this has all been for me to navigate. You are preying on the difficulties most applicable to the very consumers you have built your product for.

Estafadores, no vale para nada la app y no te avisan de que toca renovación. Teniendo en cuenta el público al que va enfocado, no hacerlo me parece hasta malicioso. Si lo hacen el 99 % de apps, con más razón debería hacerlo ésta. En fin, que no tiene utilidad ninguna y encima, en mi opinión, no obran de buena fe

This is a SCAM!
This is a SCAM!! Do NOT sign up for ANYTHING. I got a $79.98 charge that I KNOW I didn’t sign up for. When I reached out within minutes of the charge, I was told that my subscription has been canceled (which I didn’t sign up for a subscription) but due to company policy, they couldn’t issue a refund.

Poor customer service- auto subscription emails went to junk!
An app that promoted supporting Neuro diverse people, that auto subscription for an app I didn't use - it didn't help me.
To much to set up initially, having to create your own patterns and reminders / routines maybe helpful for some but for me , just another app that many already offer however free trail catches you and bang the money went out of my account and guess what IM ADHD, I Forgot ! Yes this is a me problem right?! However considering the niche of Thier business - I would suggest I'm not the first to ' forget' I used the app for a few days , normal life and some other events came along and yes I forgot. Would they give me a refund the day after ?!! No way !!
So my lesson learned, no more free trials, snakes in the grass with no intention on being good humans who can identify a genuine error.
Business is business for Effecto !

ACHTUNG ABZOCKE!!
ACHTUNG ABZOCKE!!
Angeblich habe ich ein Abo bei dieser Firma abgeschlossen.
Es wurde mehrfach Geld abgezogen. Ich kenne diese Firma sowie das Produkt nicht!
Nachdem ich mich schriftlich a die Firma gewandt habe, wurden verschiedene Aussagen getroffen. Ich könne das Produkt die ganze Zeit nutzen und hätte dem bei der angeblichen Bestellung zugestimmt. Auf der anderen Seite wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass die Registrierung nicht abgeschlossen sei und ich diese abschließen solle, um das Produkt zu nutzen.
