Good, but can be greatly improved
December 15, 2023

The content of the calesthenics workout is quite good. I love especially the introduction videos for the exercises.

But there are some things that can be improved, and for me they are essential:
1. I'm using it both on my Android phone and laptop, but the progress and experience is not syncrhonized, which is a show stopper for me. I'm using the laptop to do the exercises, as you can not do it from the phone. Especially for me, as a beginner, I don't know how all the exercises are performed, so I need to watch the video of the exercise.
2. The exercises on the laptop versions very offter stall, interrupting the workout.

Scam Company
December 14, 2023

I subscribed BetterMe trial version, it was a well arranged, schematic information, but for me there was nothing new there, therefore I unsubscribed, notified Customer Support by e-mail, closed my account and uninstalled application. A month later what was my surprise when I found out that BetterMe continues charging the fee. I wrote several emails to Customer Service asking why they still charge the money, but Customer Service didn't react to my issue just kept sending formal replies without answering my questions. I immediately realized that it was a scamp company earning on customers, lying that the customer didn't follow/or read the terms or didn't unsubscribe. It was impossible to get through and cancel subscription through Customer Service! So, I have to contact my bank and close the card to stop charging. Don't trust BetterMe! It's a trap

Hello!
Thank you for your feedback and it is so sad to hear that you faced such a negative experience with BetterMe.

BetterMe is a subscription-based product.
Each user gets a subscription and is billed only according to its terms. All the subscription information, including the billing cycle, trial, post-trial price, renewal conditions, etc., are mentioned before the purchase (plan selection page and checkout page) and after the purchase (payment confirmation e-mail).

The subscription renewal can be canceled manually via the BetterMe app > More > Manage subscription or via the company's web resources (https://app.betterme.world/login > Account > Subscriptions).

The primary source of subscription management is a manual subscription renewal cancellation.
We believe in giving our customers the freedom to manage their subscriptions on their own, and you can cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings without needing to contact customer support. Even though we cannot offer an immediate human response, it’s important for us to make sure users know how to cancel the plans on their end.

We will be happy to double-check your case and assist you.
Please reach us directly at [email protected] and provide us with a screenshot of your review.
Alternatively, please add your 7-digit reference number to this review, and we'll find your case in our database.

We will be happy to be of your help.

Tried this out hoping to use it. Support has been non-existent. And multiple attempts to reach out by email I only ever get a auto response saying they received my request. Paid for this service and the subscription will not show up in the app or web browser when I log in, but they dang well took my money. 17 days it has been trying to get any assistance at all. Not one single reply by email. Do not use this company ever!

Scammed
December 13, 2023

I paid one week without a rollover into a subscription, I made sure of that, otherwise it would have been cheaper. They still charged me the following month $38.95. My bank is handling it, because when I emailed, I didn't get a response for a few days. When they finally responded they said they cancelled my subscription, and gave me 3 months free, but no refund. I explained I never downloaded the app, I never agreed to the subscription and I did not want 3 months free, i wanted the monthly charge refunded. They never got back to me after that one time response.

SCAM
December 7, 2023

Do not give your information to this company. My wife has been trying to cancel for three months, each time they billed her about $35. We emailed over and over to cancel, got one response requesting more information from my wife. When I gave them the information, they did nothing and continued to bill her. We had to reach out to our bank and report that this company was fraudulent.

Felt tricked into signing up and then when I saw the interface, I immediately had buyer's remorse.

Dishonest
December 5, 2023

I signed up for the Betterme app for a month. Did not like it and 3 days before my subscription was to renew, I emailed them and cancelled my subscription. They sent an email back and said it was cancelled and I would not be charged any further charges. Then I noticed later that day, they billed me for an additional month to my bank account. I emailed them and they said I was still active and refused to refund my money.

I see why the have more 1 star reviews than 5 or 4. I wish I could give them -0 stars. I signed up for this service and cancelled it via the app after NEVER using it. They still billed me TWICE on the renewal date for 2 different charges. So I was charged $155.00 for a service that was never used. I attempted to contact customer support and as mentioned by other victims, they are unresponsive. You only receive an auto reply with no additional contact. Save yourself some time and DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS APP.

Hello. Thank you for sharing the details of the situation.

After making a payment on a website, each user creates a BetterMe account with a password. Once the app is installed, one will need to just log into this account for the app to recognize your paid subscription.

We apologize if you still did not receive a reply. However, unfortunately, we did not find an email request from you.

We would appreciate it if you could provide us with the 7-digit ID number you received in your automated email. You can send it here as an updated review comment. It'll help us locate your email and provide you with a proper solution faster.

Look forward to hearing back from you.
