EffectoReviews of effecto.app

Caveat emptor. No onboarding call. No contact with them. One’s account is charged. Cannot stop that; may need to go to card issuer. Will update if anything significant changes. Update: After several months, they responded and weeks later may have cancelled the charge; we shall see in the coming months if this holds true.

They advertise an App that will provide scientific advice on habit patterns, but the app does nothing but collect my data, an makes me put it in AND pay for it too. Complete waste of money. Wish I had done the research prior to purchase!

I don't really see the point in logging all this stuff and how it could possibly help with ADHD. I sincerely doubt that anyone with ADHD was involved in making this app. The first thing they did was send a 36 page document that is too long and painful to read. The app is boring to use and the notifications don't work. I have triple checked settings and all permissions are enabled, yet still no notifications. We need reminders! It's definitely not interesting enough to stick with it otherwise. The app is very buggy- freezes up and crashes continually. It takes multiple tries to log things. With all of these barriers to even using the app, I can't imagine sticking with it long term. I regret subscribing for an entire year. A waste of money. I suppose this is why there is no free trial. Nobody would pay for it after trying it. A suggestion I have is to stop tracking everything on a scale from awful to good. That doesn't make sense for every single thing. I don't want to track "cups of coffee" as somewhere between awful and good. It makes more sense to count cups.

Wish I had checked for reviews before I purchased, but I clicked on an ad, they take you to a page and only after I paid did I download the app and see the reviews. Unfortunately they are correct, this app will be of no use managing your adhd. You can simply select symptoms you may have, like anxiety or fidgeting and the create a record of it. So you create and entry in say anxiety at 8pm and say it’s at an 8 on a scale of 10. Then save. That’s it. Completely useless, don’t waste your money. Oh and customer support is non responsive. They only started replying after I had requested a refund on Paypal. Whoever responded there was super rude too.

The app is terrible - more like a diary. I asked for a refund the day I signed up but they have refused to provide one.

A app that says will make time management useful. Its the most ironical statement as its rubbish to use, complicated and difficult- no trial as they know app is crap and 0 refund policy - don't make the mistake i did

I have emailed them 3 times to get my Subscription cancelled with no response. I didn’t even get a receipt for my purchase so I initially had no idea how to cancel. This was supposed to come with an ebook which I also never received. Definitely seems like a scam. Do not purchase.
