Review of dribbble

Refund policy is plain bad bsuiness.

They sent me no reminder about the upcoming billing. Used the service for 3 hours and completely forgot to cancel. When I received notification that I've been charged for another month, within 30 mins I reached out to support to request a refund and they did not refund.This is abuse. Just plain, bad business.

Review of activecampaign

New expensive pricing plans

I have been using Active Campaign for 3 years and really like their email automation feature. The customer service is also exceptional. However, I received an email this week that my Plus plan will no longer be available and I will be AUTOMATICALLY upgraded to the Professional plan in the next few days. This plan costs more than twice as much as my current plan. Of course I get a discount in the first year, but I don't even need these new features. Why should I pay more than twice as much for features that I don't even need? That's not customer-friendly at all. I also have to say that not everything works in my Plus plan. The WooCommerce connection is of no use to me, I have to solve everything with tags. The Abanndoned Cart function doesn't work either. I hope they will reconsider their new pricing policy. But I'll definitely search for a email automation tool that likes its customers!

Michael was helpful and took time to resolve the issue which he was able to fix after 40 minutes.....he was just not very welcoming and his attitude to client could have improved to be more friendlier and trust us clients a bit....first 10 minutes i felt like he was just testing me if i really know what i'm doing...i appreciate this wasn't the case as he was trying to find the issue, but it could have been presented differently in my opinion

Im afraid to tune in for fear of another Power Sales University commercial. The most obnoxious radio commercial I've ever heard. I immediately flip the channel as soon as I hear that annoying voice. I guess they wouldn't keep advertising on Fox unless it was working, but I don't get it.

Review of chatgpt

Totally unreliable

Totally unreliable, it either works really well or it’s a pile of trash. Constant references to “not in our guidelines” despite already having generated a requested image.Waste of app space.

Review of playstation

I would give zero stars if I could. Go to Xbox.

I purchased a game yesterday after downloading it (Spider-Man 2) the game caused my PlayStation to shut off for no reason. After a frustrating four hours I removed the game from my system and boom no more issue. I contacted PlayStation support to get a refund for my faulty game as disclosed in their terms of agreement. I was told that I can’t get a refund. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told no at first. When I finally got a supervisor they were rude. Did not help and actually hung up with me when I brought up their own terms. If I could. I’d rate this a zero. I get why people prefer Xbox over PlayStation now.

Review of facebook

FB biz suite epic failure

all I wanted to do was set up a shop in FB to sell handmade items and have it connected to my IG account, the interface is bloated, full of bugs, needlessly difficult and doesnt work. other complaints confirm that its not me its FB BS, I spent countless hours on support chat and phone calls to no avail. in just a few hours I was able to set up a store on Michaels new Maker Place, upload my items, set up shipping, and go live. so easy... FB business suite is an epic failure. I had to put a pinned post on my business page to not even bother using the "shop" tab. how embarassing.

Review of ancestry

Questionable

My 1st sample was mailed and took so long to be received I had to report it lost and had to do another sample. 2 days after I sent in my replacement sample. I was notified my 1st sample was received. When I got my results I doubted how accurate they are when it didn’t even match me with my own mother.

Review of yelp

Yelp Useful, But Not Helpful! Beware!

Let me start off by saying I have been on Yelp since 2014 and have had, and currently still have, multiple business listings. At least at the time of this writing. I will also ad that I have a lot to lose by posting this review because my accounts average 4.9 - 5.0 stars with hundreds of reviews. I will be happy to privately verify myself and my Yelp accounts with TrustPilot. I have made multiple attempts to escalate issues to Yelp management only to be turned away multiple times. Therefore, i choose to share my experience with TrustPilot visitors.Yelp is useful as a directory and people seeking local businesses, especially food and beverage establishments. This is only helpful to new businesses that need directory listings and links back to their sites to help potential customers "find" their business.The Automated AlgorithmAI is only as good as the people programming it. Therefore, the algorithm is biased towards 5-star reviews more than 1-star reviews. This is likely a prioritization factor due to businesses "asking" for reviews from ONLY customers that have good experiences. This is sandbagging and actually NOT helpful for businesses. I believe reviews should be natural. However, Yelp does NOT offer a good system for evaluating 1-star or FAKE reviews and allows them to defame businesses without recourse or verification. While the system somewhat works, Yelp should do a better job to verify review authenticity. Especially if the company seeks advertising dollars form the very businesses it allows consumers to defame without verification or recourse.Expensive Advertising With Little Results$15/day is usually the minimum recommendation for advertising with $50-60/day being a sweet spot for many businesses. Thats $450-$3000.00/month in advertising revenue for Yelp and "leads", as they call them, for businesses. This ad spend is grossly inflated for the extremely limited results one will achieve. Yelp has all the data, keeps all the data, shares NONE of the data and charges you up the ass for advertising to compete to attempt to attract any of their traffic in an already crowded market space. Further, cancelling advertising is even more horrendous. Yelp used to make it impossible to manage your own advertising account. Back in 2015 and 2016, one could not start or stop advertising without going through a rep whose job was to upsell you every step of the way and keep you from cancelling the advertising campaign. Now, you cannot simply click on "Yelp Ads" menu to go to your advertising account, because that would make sense. Nope, it appears deliberately confusing to keep advertisers from cancelling. It is NOT user friendly but very sneaky and an easy way for Yelp to get another few days or months from advertisers.Advertising Add-On (Upselling)On top of the ad spend, Yelp will nickel and dime you for everything. Like keeping advertisers off your page, adding a business highlight, adding business logo, organizing photos into a slideshow, having a call to action ... etc. It is absolutely horrendous and a huge money grab by Yelp.com who claims to want to HELP businesses.Yelp does not care about helping businesses, only creating the largest database and exploiting the business that help build that database. Meanwhile, advertising spending is through the roof and businesses come and go creating more opportunity for Yelp.Customer ServiceDue to the Communications Decency Act of 1996, Section 230, Yelp is immune from defamatory statements placed on its site by users. While Yelp does offer a method to report fake reviews, it does NOT take careful consideration if you don't have a law degree and cannot articulate appropriately how the review does not violate the guidelines. However, once reported and decided Yelp will not consider any escalation of the issue. Yelp Customer Service just flat out refuses to help you or respond to inquiries to remedy situations under the pretense of fairness. But this just doesn't appear to be true for businesses. However, Yelp should be liable to allowing content to remain online when it has ANY reason to believe the content was placed under false pretenses. The algorithm should restrict 1-star reviews as much as 5-star review, and require user verification in some form.To me, it just seems like a huge money grab and a company we should be boycotting. The same money spend on Google, Facebook or Instagram ads will get us significantly more results and drive traffic to our web sites and storefronts.Know and understand what Yelp is helpful for and use it to your advantage. Do not trust Yelp with your advertising or ad spend.

Review of uber

Terrible Experience

Terrible Experience – Scam Driver and Unhelpful Customer Service Person : HimanshuI had a very disappointing experience with Uber recently. The driver intentionally took a longer route to inflate the fare. When we questioned him mid-trip, he casually claimed he had taken a wrong turn and would turn back — but the damage was already done.The original estimated fare was $29, but we were charged $51. I immediately contacted Uber support with a screenshot of the original estimate as proof. Despite this, they dismissed my concern, insisting that $51 was the “correct fare” based on the route taken — completely ignoring the fact that the route was manipulated.Their responses felt generic and possibly AI-generated, showing zero accountability. Even after escalating and presenting clear evidence, there was no apology or attempt to make it right. In the end, the overcharge was processed anyway.This experience felt like fraud, and the lack of genuine support made it worse. Uber needs to do better — both in vetting drivers and handling complaints. One star, and I won’t be using Uber again anytime soon.
