Efficient, prompt reply.
The consultant was most helpful & very prompt with her reply to me. Her name was Nora and she was very efficient & cancelled my contract instantly. Could not have asked for a more helpful and polite lady. Thank you again Nora.!

High.diet 4-week subscription RIP-OFF
High.diet 4-week subscription renewal. This is an app I subscribed to for US$21.18.
The next month I was charged US$105.95. This was a completely unexpected charge. I have asked to cancel and get a refund but a junior service person has told me I can't have a refund even though it is now cancelled.
DON'T GET CAUGHT by this company! What a rip-off.
The High.diet app is not worth anything. You will be charged for an app that only has some recipes and pay a fortune for it.

Awesome Help Desk Representative
The representative I dealt with (Nora A.) is great! It was literally less than five minutes from the time I sent my email to the Help Desk to receiving Nora's response. The matter I had emailed about was addressed immediately.

Easy to cancel my subscription due to financial issues - Nora was efficient and it was cancelled with ease. Will return once I am more financially stable

Intransparent, überteuert, Abo-Falle!
0 Sterne! Finger weg! Ich bin im Januar auf diese Effecto-App über Instagram aufmerksam geworden. Und wollte ich die App für mich testen. Was ich nicht gewusst habe: Das Produktmodell 335_effecto_1-week_inc-rec_web_checkout_1w1m_na beinhaltet ein sogenanntes incremental recurring‑Abo (inc‑rec), das sich automatisch verlängert, sofern es nicht aktiv über die Plattform gekündigt wird. Der Betrag lässt übrigens Effecto von einem externen Dienstleister abbuchen: Medical Core. Die automatische Verlängerung wird absichtlich nicht klar und transparent kommuniziert. Der Hinweis erscheint lediglich in sehr kleiner Schrift während des Web‑Checkouts und ist für Verbraucher leicht zu übersehen.
Nach der Testphase hat sich das Probeabo für 18,89 Euro in ein monatliches Abonnement zu 37,98 € verwandelt – ein Preis, der in keinem angemessenen Verhältnis zur angebotenen Leistung steht. Problem: Der Abschluss des Abonnements erfolgt ganz geschickt über Social‑Media ( Facebook, Instagram) auf der Website von Effecto. Man lädt die App runter, aber weder im Apple‑Store noch im Google‑Play‑Store ist das Abo kündbar. Man sieht nichts, man kann das gekaufte Abo nicht verwalten.
Die App ist für neurodivergente Nutzer mit ADHS gedacht, so wird auf Instagram geworben. Meiner Erfahrung nach, sie ist aber in der Praxis übermäßig komplex strukturiert und umständlich. Sie ist eine Mischung aus Tagebuch und Planer.
Da die Schriftgröße in der App sich nicht anpassen lässt, war das Eintragen der Werte für mich besonders mühsam.
Ich wollte die App nicht, habe mehrfach versucht, das Abo zu kündigen, nachdem ich die unerwartete Preiserhöhung bemerkt hatte. In der App Effecto selbst, in Account, findet man aber keine Details zum Abo, keine direkte Kündigungsmöglichkeit und der Support scheint ausschließlich per E‑Mail und nur auf Englisch erreichbar. Ich bin zu zögerlich gewesen und habe wertvolle Zeit verloren.
Somit wurden mir weitere 3 Monate à 37,98 Euro ungewollt in Rechnung gestellt, obwohl ich die App nicht genutzt habe.
Das Gesamtbild – intransparente Preisgestaltung, erschwerte Kündigung, fehlende Store‑Integration, unklare Kommunikation und ein für ADHS‑Nutzer ungeeignetes Produkt. Dazu noch rechtlich grenzwertig, moralisch fragwürdig und offensichtlich auf das Versäumen von Kündigungen ausgelegt.
