I love it

Didn’t work, didn’t refund (as promised)

by wordpresskuma·2 years ago

I was chatting with their Sales/Support at length about what I wanted to do. They assured me that if it didn’t meet my expectations, they would refund me.

They didn’t. And then they completely ignored me and didn’t answer my chat. (Even though they were VERY attentive during the pre-sales phase.)

AVOID at all cost.
