Review of g2

Informative!

One great thing about G2 is that I'm able to share tool reviews to others that will also help them know more about a certain product, its pros and its cons.

Review of eventbrite

I will never use this organiser again

I will never use this organiser again. I agree you can’t contact anybody. If you submit any query etc, takes ages to acknowledge. I too got an email eventually to say I could donate the monies I’ve paid for something that isn’t going ahead, These are difficult times for everybody, but in my eyes this is like theft, they’ve taken my money and I’ve nothing in return. Not happy at all, also I believe people are struggling with stress/ anxiety which is made worse when you have to deal with organisers like these. Never again no matter what

Review of animoto

Poor Customer Service and response times.

For over a month we have been trying to get in touch on a technical question and we resolved it on our own/ One person got back and we sent the information requested by your support team, but no one got back to us.

Review of co

Wrong letterbox used

After waiting in for my delivery, the delivery man rang my apartment intercom, didn't speak and proceeded to post in the reception letterbox where everyman and his uncle had access to it. Not all residents or visitors are trustworthy. Please do better training your drivers.

Review of shapeways

Updated (fixed) Unseen tax charge

Update: Increased from 1 star to 3 stars. I'm very grateful for the excellent customer service from the Shapeways team in recognising the error, refunding part of the payment where there has been miscalculations, and for their commitment to review how any further tax payments are highlighted at the checkout. Can't really give higher as some of those changes haven't yet been implemented and this was a very stressful experience for myself and a disabled family member. Nonetheless my faith in the company has been restored and I look forward to shopping with them again.I have been left with a completely avoidable £59 charge having spent over £150 already with them. They don't calculate the tax if you spend over £135 which there was no reference to whatsoever on the checkout. Had I known I simply wouldn't have spent above this amount (perfectly possible with my order) and now I risk losing it entirely. All I needed was a sentence referencing the policy and this could have been avoided, rather than diving into their FAQ's after the exorbitant charge from UPS!

Review of nest

My Nest Protect smoke / carbon monoxide…

My Nest Protect smoke / carbon monoxide detector started to empty battery life after 3yrs, after changing 6 costly Energisers each time I found ou that my unit is now faulty, so much for warranty! Google Nest advertise these units can last up to 10 YRS, ignoring my emails as there is ONLY a 2yr warranty, will now be changing ALL my products, VERY POOR customer service

Review of deepl

Words, yes; idioms, no.

2.5 stars (free version, with-out registration). For simple German to English and English to German, it gives good translations, and faster than Google Translate. How-ever, it does not recognize common slang and idioms, giving word-for-word translations. I use it some-times, but for individual, tricky words, I recommend leo.org.

Review of shutterstock

Beware their "auto renew" feature which is enabled as standard

I made a one-off purchase of 25 credits which I used within an hour. Checked my bank account today and I thought they had charged me twice. As it turned out, they have a totally unfair auto-enabled "renew" feature which basically charges you again and adds 25 more credits to your account when you have used the last of the previous set. I went on the website and contacted their chat feature. They have told me that I will receive a refund within 48 hours... I will believe that when I see it. Why do this? There are subscription options available. all the have done is annoy a potential long-term customer. No morals.

Review of dropbox

Awesome, awesome service

We've been using Dropbox for four years now and we'd be totally lost without it. I particularly like the two factor authentication. We also find the version history to be hugely useful.

Review of crypto

One of the worst services I experienced

One of the worst services experienced. Everything is designed to separate you from your money. High fees, slow in every process, constant app unavailability due to updates or bugs, one of which costed me to totally lose 0.4 BTC (for which I have been compensated with only200 Eur).One of the early adopters back in 2020 but they have nothing to offer anymore. Would not recommend to anyone.

Review of alexa

Alexa.com is THE best data-analytics provider.

Alexa.com is one of the longest standing data analytics providers. I've subscribed to both the individual and now, agency plan. Alexa.com delivers some of the most accurate, and well-designed interfaces to help small, medium and even agencies excel online. Well worth the price. In fact, from an agency owners perspective, they much more fairly priced than many of the other tools out there. Highly recommended.
