EffectoReviews of effecto.app

At the start of my ADHD journey and really struggling, Effecto came up as a targeted ad with a quiz to start the process to see what might help me. Cue dozens of daily emails, each with free gifts, countdown timers, dropping prices, threats of plans disappearing forever. For someone experiencing difficulty with executive function, feeling overwhelmed and struggling to plan this really triggered every nerve in me making me feel highly stressed, panicked and unsure what to do. Not to worry, have your plan for 14 days for £1... sounded fine so I paid. 14 days later over £70 goes out my account though my bank were quick to block it as potential fraud. I quickly accessed all the emails and not one mention of any subscription or ongoing costs. As a result I reported it to my bank, reported it to PayPal and also raised a complaint with Effecto. A very quick response to say they are happy to close my account but that I am not getting my money back. I have tried escalating my complaint as the very tactics they use are not simply harsh selling tactics but purposefully designed to target the vulnerabilities of people with ADHD (the very group they claim to be helping) but have yet to receive a response. I am now considering contacting Trading Standards about this practice. I cannot comment on the usability of the app, procrastination and all that. I can only comment on the horrendous sales tactics using vulnerability to fuel profits (those subscription costs are so high!). UPDATE: the company has offered a 50% refund while simultaneously accepting a 100% refund via PayPal and closing the case. However, my research has shown they are contravening the rules set up by the ASA and CMA and are also in contravention with The Equality Act. I will be raising this with Trading Standards, ASA and CMA. I would urge anyone else affected to look in to doing similar.

14 euros pour un essai d'un mois, le mois suivant, je suis debité de 92,48euros, sans recevoir aucun programme. Cette application est une arnaque!Ne faites pas comme moi. Lisez les avis avant de demander la période d'essai. Leurs réponses à ces avis sontcde la pure hypocrisie!

Contraté un mes por 18.99€ y me han vuelto a cobrar otro mes pero esta vez 37,98€. Estafa total.

Update: this was Effecto answer so do not believe the answer provide here by them in Trustpilot: Regarding the charges of €37.98 each after your 7-day trial: when you signed up, the subscription was set to renew automatically unless canceled before the trial ended. Because the subscription was not canceled during the trial period, the system processed the regular payments as described at checkout. As per our Terms and Conditions, which you agreed to upon purchase, all sales of digital products are final and non-refundable unless there was a technical fault on our end. Missed cancellations do not qualify for a refund, so we are unable to return the payments. --- I paid for a 7 day trial. Only 7DAYS. And they charged me without letting me know almost 38 euros and then another 38 euros for a month. Until I realised about it it has been 76 euros for something I did not agree at all. And the app is shit. I already requested my refund and they denied it. PLEASE, we need to sue them for this way of scamming people.

Beware! This is a money trap. You end up paying for what you didn’t want or receive. Very deceptive marketing . Stay well clear

I do not have adhd and did not subscribe to this service. They are now refusing to refund my money. Disgraceful company.

Effecto medical score is a scam business that is completely ruthless and devoid of any credibility. I signed up to Carnimeat app and then after using it realised that it was not suitable so I cancelled it not knowing the had a hidden subscription to another of their apps without me knowing about it. Been charged £177 for annual subscription but did not have any documentation regarding subscription. Never log into anything related to effecto or medical score as the apps are a scam to elicit hidden charges. They do not send emails or any notifications related to any of their apps. I have logged a complaint with them and trying to recover my money through PayPal but have sneaky suspicion they will not peruse but I’ll wait and see but will not let this go as they are conning the public.

J'ai souscrit un mois promotionnel à 18,50 pour essayer. A priori il y avait un abonnement caché, que bien entendu je n'ai pas vu . Résultat : un second mois à 92 euros pour une appli très peu intéressante. ils ont accepté de suspendre l'abonnement mais ne veulent rien entendre pour mes 92 euros.C'est franchement abusif
