Review of calendly

Makes My Life Easy!

Easy to use! Makes my life much easier by having clients and partners book meetings from one system! Calendly also connects to my personal calendars and blocks out available time that conflicts with my busy life. Their team has also been making pretty substantial product improvements this year.

Review of temu

I was super skeptical about purchasing from Temu and afraid that is a scammer but after I did few testing, it's quite promising, only huge item like wooden made cabinets (tiny one) takes longer around 1 month for delivery. Otherwise everything can be received around 1.5-2 weeks and the quality and price much cheaper then Shein , if compare with similar platform.If you looking for big bargin and money saver but still wanna enjoy shopping, it's a good platform to go

Review of teachable

Kids With Laptops !!

I have been waiting to make comments about Teachable for a long time. I have been using and managing several Teachable accounts for several years and found it very functional … however the platform has several critical flaws (1) When I was a new user the setup and implementation is definitely not ergonomic, it has confusing screens, layouts that do not have a clear path to set up, etc etc. It took way too many hours to try and understand what should set up for what should be a simple platform. After I got the school set up, the Courses and Lectures were all straight forward. That is the only reason I decided to stay. (2) The site navigation is AWEFUL. There is no clear navigation when you are inside a course how to get back out, or navigate to other pages. I must have sent in at least 15+ support tickets begging for a solution. I received replies from support with canned answers and was finally told there is no solution, there is not navigation inside courses. This is the dumbness thing I have ever heard. I finally had to create my own solution by with individual hyper links in every page just so a viewer could get back to the Course screen or Home Page. Functional but a PITA because every page had to be hand programmed with hyperlinks. I though my request was the most simple of programing updates, a logical request, a common sense need for virtually everyone on the platform. I even offered to pay Teachable $1,000 for them to fix the navigation issue and I was totally ignored. What BS. And yes it was a real offer and was money I would have to take out of my savings (yuck). (3) Support was responsive, I did get an email back usually the next day … but the level of the support staff is simply embarrassing. I do admit I did get a logical and informative reply from some support staff when I asked a known issue or a logical question, however when it comes to shortfalls in the platform on how to fix them they are LOST. Specifically, when I requested, and ultimately demanded, a response to fix the navigation issues all I got were canned responses, we can’t do that and after more than a dozen tries, they combined all my Support tickets and labeled them "Resolved" … end of that subject. I could tell on this and other issues I have had with the platform the support person never even looked at my site to assess the issue … just another canned response. I reiterate, there were a few stellar people who genuinely cared, did look at my issue and responded with care, and logical solutions. But they are few between. For the most part I have concluded the Support Staff are “Kids With Laptops” just collecting a salary. And lastly (4) I have been on the Basic plan for $39 for a long time which suited my needs. I have a free school, we use for Training not selling, and it served the purpose. However, the brilliant minds at Teachable just made the decision to now limit the number of Courses to only 5 on Basic plan. I can no longer add another Course to my school unless I upgrade to their $119 a month plan. For a free school, $39 to $119 is a jump, that’s an extra $960 a year for our “Free to the Team” training platform. Yea I’m sure Teachable will comment on that, but that was a stupid move, not well thought out in my opinion. In conclusion, this is the straw that … well ya know … I’m looking for another platform, By By.

Review of squarespace

Poor website service and Terrible…

Poor website service and Terrible customer service.A contact form on our website wasn't sending through the emails that it was configured to send. We found this out from irate customers which was far from ideal, and it turned out the form hadn't been working for some weeks.We tested the email address configured into the form. It successfully received emails from multiple external accounts through multiple email providers, so we knew the address was good.Also, other email addresses with the same domain name worked, so it wasn't a problem with our domain.We contacted Squarespace through chat (after waiting 25 minutes for an agent to pick up the chat).We were told "Ok, so I was able to see that the custom address was temporarily placed on a blocklist. We aren't able to see exactly why this occurred, but I was able to request you be removed from it."The problem was quickly rectified, but when I pointed out that we had had no notification of the block being put in place, that we had lost custom due to this, and asked whether this could happen again, the agent went into technobable mode and basically said it had nothing to do with Squarespace and must be a problem on our side. The agent would not accept that Squarespace had any responsibility, even though all other possible causes had been ruled out.As we can't rely on the Squarespace service for our business, we will be looking elsewhere.

Review of hotels

AVOID - Scammers

Booked 2 rooms and had to cancel due to unforeseeable circumstances, several messages and calls on and no luck they are terrible! spoke to hotel direct they said they had no issue cancelling but needed to come from hotels.com as I was classed as a 3rd party, several hours on the phone, no resolution and I have lost nearly £600, they are joining expedia so would avoid them as well, my friends were going to pay for one of the rooms, saved a while for this now in debt, very upsetting by this all

Review of gog

GoG is a store of quality over quantity despite the fierce competition

GoG is a service that prioritizes the end product that videogames are achieving the best results it can for both customers and developers who seek quality entertainment over socially-engineered slop made to entrap the brain.The downside is that, in their market there's a massive giant who,despite its many issues and mistakes, casts a shadow over all its competitors due to its sheer size.Because of that GoG struggles to get companies to publish there and fails to even be noticed by many potential customers despite being more beneficial to both yet, for us gamers this means that a game which is published on GoG is a game whose publishers and devs are confident about, a quality product worth investing your time and money in.

Review of bitdefender

Reliable and trusted product with great aftersales service

Besides having great product features, the application is reliable within Windows 11. It seldom gives much problems. It can be trusted due to their excellent yearly independent testing results. Having said all that, it is their great customer care service after purchase that has endeared me to their product after so many years.

Review of ipsos

Didn't pay me for work conducted

Called me out of the blue to ask if I would participate in a movement survey. Sent me a tracker and I played the game for 2 weeks taking the thing with me everywhere. Promised payment of $70 on return of tracker. Sent tracker back. No payment. Wouldn't return phone calls or email. My advice - hold onto the tracker until they pay or don't work for them.

Review of 1password

Very good software, excellent customer support

I've been a satisfied user of the (legacy) desktop version 1Password for 13 years now, on both OSX and Windows.Long story short, I recently suffered a full internal SSD failure AND loss of my backup drive, forcing me to pretty much rebuild my entire setup from scratch, 1Password included.On top of all of this my account was registered under an old email address that had long gone unused and been fully wiped by my former ISP.In spite of that hodgepodge of unfortunate conccurent events their customer support staff was highly understanding, patient, competent and diligent in helping me recover the lost data and getting set up again despite there being no prospect of immediate financial gain for the company. This was a welcome relief in the midst of stressful times.Needless to say, after that experience I'll remain a loyal customer for the foreseeable future and would fully recommend going with 1Password if this is a product that suits your needs.
