Review of calm

It's okay but not for me

Never been one for meditation but I do like to listen to audio books in bed as they help me drift off to sleep (I set a timer). I came across this App during the UK’s 3rd lockdown and I thought I'd give meditation a try and also test out the bedtime stories. I'm doing a lot of solo walking because of Covid lockdown so thought this would be the perfect opportunity to give meditation another try. I'm afraid either meditation is still not for me or the narrators voice grated to the point I became irritated - is it Tamara? I have listened to two of the Apps bedtime stories and while they are 'okay', I find my audio books provide the same rhythm/tone and help me drift off. All in all I felt paying for this App wasn’t worth it for me as I wouldn’t be using it very often, however, if you do like to mediate and you don’t already use audio books then this App would be good value for money.Regarding cancelling the free 7 day trial period. I received an email reminding me my free trial subscription was coming to an end on day 4 and I was also informed I needed to cancel 24 hours before the free trials end (so really you are only getting 6 days free trial). Fearing I’d forget and get caught out I cancelled straightaway. Unlike other reviewers I was able to cancel my free trial subscription with just a couple of clicks on my iPhone. I went to the settings within the App, clicked on subscription and there was the cancel subscription option. After pressing cancel subscription I received a pop up message informing me my subscription was cancelled and that I had until the end of the 7 day trial period to continue using the App for free before it would stop (I screen grabbed this) – easy!!!

Review of google

No customer service; no explanations nor advice

There is no customer service and if your video is denied promotion, you are literally on your own... You will never understand why exactly you can't promote your video and is a completely authoritarian way to distribute content.

Review of xero

Useless system to pay suppliers

I have used this to pay supplliers invoices with mixed results, after eventually paying an invoice about a year ago, I was invited to join which I did only to then be advised I didnt have the relevant permissions to view the invoice. A new supplier recently sent me a couple of invoices using this company, the first went through fine but the second one requested sending validations to our directors phone or email, preventing me making the payment. We dont have time to mess around with companies like this. I will direct our suppliers that we will pay by alternative means only.In response to your comment : yes it is your problem! If I as a payee cant pay bills via your system when billed because of your checkout process and waste my time trying then that is a poor experience

Review of ancestry

All I’ve gotten from ancestry is ads…

All I’ve gotten from ancestry is ads about buying more membership goodies! I still haven’t seen (or maybe, found) any data about my ancestry other than telling me who my parents are. Oddly, I guess, I ready knew that! Ancestry also seems to have lost the sample we sent in for my wife. There has been no acknowledgement of her samples. The DNA testing appears to be nothing more than a scam to get more dues. Prove me wrong!

Review of yelp

I would not even give this company one…

I would not even give this company one star. DECEPTION at its finest. Free trial turned into nearly $1500. I paid $200 for my first month. My card expired so they were not able to charge me for the next month (June) which was $389. I received an email June 25th saying I owed $389. Yes I will pay but I also want to cancel. I cancelled July 7th and they said I owed $922 to cancel. I can’t see where any of these numbers are coming from and they are unwilling to explain. Someone please sue them for deceptive practices.

It should be illegal for a subscription to be so tedious to unsubscribe.

Review of mastercard

Very poor customer experience

I received £250 as a reward of my hard work from my company in pre-paid mastercard.I Received the token via email, no mention to the validity of the token. The token expired with no advance notice (like com'on man we are in 2022 right and a big company like mastercard cannot send you a reminder for you to use their service before expiration).I paid my taxes on that money while I never had a chance to use it.Very frustrating but I guess, that is probably how that type of company make a lot of money.I am not going to re-use their service neither I recommend it to anyone.Poor customer experience.

Great Support

Great Support by Falran when I had an issue with a really old title on my 2024 W11 machine. Good to see that commitment.

Review of garmin

Incredibly disappointed to be writing…

Incredibly disappointed to be writing this review as I am an owner of several Garmin products and have been very happy with the products until now. Recently my 810 edge has suffered a catastrophic failure with the screen being unresponsive, which initiated me to call customer services who promptly replied with there is nothing we can do. I need to spend £96 on a model that has no box, lead or anything else. As I explained to the individual I wasn't happy with that and what could they do to help me further, they quickly responded with, that is not our policy and that is it. As a customer who has purchased several Garmin products in the past I was cast aside as unwanted problem with no support. Thank you Garmin for making me feel valued

Review of zoom

Shocking customer service

Shocking customer service. Unable to reach anyone for technical help. Since I upgraded to the Pro package my recipients aren't receving my zoom meeting invitations. The package says clearly that I am entitled to 'chat with agent' - but this is untrue. Such a minted company with no sense of value for customers.

Review of zara

Refund was not made

Order no.53397695807I just received information from the chat with Customer Care that the package I returned on September 7 was lost in transport. So I lost my money. The deadline of 14 days for a refund is not respected at all, just as Zara does not respect long-term regular customers at all.Zara shopping is a terrible stress because consumer rights are not respected.The customer's uncertainty regarding his rights is certainly the most stressful online shopping experience.That bad experience keeps getting worse, the fight for your rights is exhausting and Zara shopping has not been a pleasure for a long time.Note:I have no desire to prove anything to Trustpilot, I have all the evidence that I struggle at least once a month to get my money back and I am under serious stress because of Zara online

Review of itv

Britain's got talent…

I thought Britain's got talent contestants were supposed to be judged on their talent not their hard luck stories.It seems that if a contestant can spin out a tale of misfortune before he or she performs the chances are that they will get through. It's a form of moral blackmail and it's happening more and more. It's almost as annoying as the precocious child acts.

Review of ifttt

Removed features with no notification

Sudden removal of basic features I was using daily without any notification. No self-respecting tech firm does that - you get regular emails notifying you of a change with a planned date. Greed has killed a platform that was once great and well worth paying for. It's now dead and useless. Congrats guys. You'll be out of business in a couple of years.
