EffectoReviews of effecto.app

I feel scammed by the Effecto App, the advertisement shows that it’ll help with ADHD symptoms, but it’s not a ADHS plan, it’s a symptom tracker, using it overwhelms me. After 3 days of use, I realized it wouldn’t be helpful, so I asked for a refund. The company says “All sales of digital products are final and non-refundable unless there is a delivery issue with the product or an issue preventing access to the app. Since your Effecto plan was correctly delivered and accessed, we can't offer a refund in this case”, which just doesn’t make sense to me, they don’t offer what they advertised. I don’t recommend it for ADHD people at all.

The company takes advantage of people. I paid for the app three months ago then immediately forgot I did. Never used the app. Noticed a charge a few days ago and asked for cancelation and refund. Denied any refund. I'm going through a divorce right now and was looking for solutions to stay on track. Thought the app might help but all its done is put me in the hole more.

This app is buggy and/or important features are missing. Completely useless, don't waste your money. I consider it fraudulent.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP. IT IS JUST A HABIT TRACKER AND NOTHING SPECIFIC TO DO WITH ADHD!! The advertising for this app is exactly what is wrong with the world. People with no conscience or empathy making money by preying on the vulnerabilities of people who want to make a change for the better. I'm so glad I only signed up for a month. Your waste of space app is being deleted from my phone and I won't waste any more of my time by trying to get a refund from you and don't waste your time or mine by responding with a pathetic apology reply.

This is the lamest app. It keeps asking me to put in input like gratitude or what my day is like. Yet there is no way to answer. The options are already coming up as boxes and they don’t apply to what I want to put in, not have I ever set up the boxes that does apply. The advertised benefits are not what the app actually does. I can’t write anything in or be in detail. Even adding a pic of ‘photo of the day’ is stupid and I don’t see an option to add or the reason why a selfie is valid. I can do all the writing in a journal elsewhere and don’t need an app to check off boxes that don’t even apply. I’ve been trying this app for a week and can’t figure out the actual benefits of it since it doesn’t record words, only boxes. Those boxes can’t be added to or actually record my days. I’m wanting a refund. It’s been a waste of my time.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Appalling. Overwhelming and they prey on people’s mental health issues. Refusing to give me a refund on something that I can’t use. It is badly advertised and misleading and a total scam. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Dear Team Effecto. Do YOU see how terrible all your reviews are? You quote ;While we do have strict refund policies in place, we always aim to be understanding and accommodating of our customers' unique circumstances.' This strict refund policy is put in place to only gain from a terrible App. IF you actually cared about your customers you have 3 options that would help each and everyone. 1. Allow a refund to all who seek it BECAUSE you are not offering what you advertised. 2. ACTUALLY give us what we pay for. $100 for a yearly app that has nothing but US entering data that doesn't help, isn't worth anyone's money. 3. Get rid of the app and stop making money off people who are seeking to be better. It is disgusting that you are doing this! Let alone paypay who cannot see this is a scam and allow us our refunds. I do not know how your company sleeps at night. Disgusting to say the least.

I researched the app and the research company they state backs the science. MDPI is a pay to publish company. There is an article on Science.org that was recently published and states MDPI has been delisted from their impact factor. Based on the amount of research they publish quickly, the peer reviewed process is not as vigorous. I took all these extra steps to find out about the app and the publishing company. Thank you for everyone sharing their experience. I will not purchase this app.
