Review of Effecto.app


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Absolute con artists - their reviews are fake.

Firstly, Effecto team - please don't bother with the stock standard 'please email us we're happy to assist' BS reply you keep putting under everyone else's posts. We email you for help and you tell us to go kick rocks, so there's no need for the facade.

Their reviews are not real. Notice that for every single positive review, it is the only review that person has ever made on Trustpilot. They are all also just one generic sentence about a single feature the reviewer apparently liked. Trust me, their product is not worth signing up a brand new account to give 5 stars for. The negative reviews with one review, I do believe are real, because they have personally p**sed me off so bad I want to shout it from the rooftops.

They are running a subscription model designed to exploit people who suffer from ADHD. When signing up on an iPhone, there is tiny print stating that is a subscription and that the price will more than double after your initial one week/one month/three month subscription term (I could not even read this without putting my glasses on). You have to physically scroll down to see this tiny text under the initial discounted prices and a big green 'get my plan' button. Cancelling the plan is a massive headache and can't be done in the app. Once you have signed up, there is no way to see any information about your subscription or pricing in the app - they clearly hope you will forget about it so they can drain more money from you. In fact, their website gives you instructions on how you can DELETE YOUR WHOLE ACCOUNT and again in small print at the bottom, mentions oh PS but your subscription will still remain active until you email us to stop it. So they are happy to actively suck money out of people they KNOW are not using their product.

Everything about this company is designed to mislead neurodivergent people and steal excessive amounts of money from them. Don't touch them with a ten foot pole.
