Terrible customer service. I've cancelled my subscription 3 times now, they continue to charge each month, even though I have email correspondence saying they have cancelled the subscription... 3 times!
Argh. This is really making me cross, and I will be taking it further.

I was charged 1 cent after I cancelled my subscription, being told it was a computer gliche and that I would receive a refund. After 6 weeks I contacted Better Me again, asking where it was. I received a refund into my bank account the next day.

Hello!

Troy, we are sorry if your experience could have been better. Please, be informed that there is no way for BetterMe to charge one's account without the direct permission of the user. Each user chooses a subscription package and is being billed due to the conditions of this subscription. ​

If a user doesn't want to continue, they can cancel the subscription 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. This information is clearly available on the checkout page for customers to review before placing an order. They can also find it in the confirmation email along with the option to unsubscribe by contacting our support team.

As the subscription has not been canceled, you were charged to renew the license as initially promised. We are always glad to help our customers and provide them with the best possible solution. We have replied to your email. Please let us know if there is anything we can help you with.

Kind regards, Team BetterMe

Had to wonder why they billed credit card under different names. It could never be for fraudulent intentions. Who is protecting us from business's that offer no viable product. As a physician, their recommendations are not only laughable but dangerous. How could they have ratings this low? Couldn't they at least have employees file some fictitous positive reviews? How much more will they make selling my info on the dark web?

The company use somewhat fraudulent business approaches to get you money. You buy a one-time service and afterwards, a month later, you find that you subscribed with a monthly fee, which they charge to your credit PayPal accounts.

I have not accessed their site or app. I also checked Apple subscription and there is NO subscription for BetterMe.

All I did was I accessed their advertisement in FB and clicked through the pages but closed the page the moment I landed on the payment details. No authorisation made and again, BetterMe is not listed in Apple subscription. So how could these charges have happened.

Beware of this site and their advertisements!

Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry if your experience could have been better.

Please note that a subscription to the BetterMe app can be purchased both via our website and via AppStore. As you mentioned, you have purchased it directly on our website following a Facebook ad, that's why it's not available in your AppStore subscriptions. This subscription can be managed in your BetterMe account (open the BetterMe app, then select More-->Help-->Manage subscription) or by contacting our support at [email protected]

Please, also be informed that while placing an order, no steps can be done without the user's direct approval. Our terms are displayed for reference. When it comes to making a purchase, we offer credit card and PayPal as checkout options, providing increased security throughout platforms.

They refuse to cancel my subscription even though it's never been downloaded to my phone or laptop.

"We can't assist you until you have used our diet for seven consecutive days"—REALLY?

I've got news for them, if they attempt another charge with my account, my lawyer will be on their toes in a nanosecond.

UPDATE: After further review BetterMe credited my account the full amount. I am thankful they reviewed my account and helped to correct the fraudulent charges.

I never purchased their services or their app. However, I was being charged monthly via PayPal. I filed a complaint and they reimbursed all but the first month stating that they are not responsible for scammers. I never used their service, so this review is based on the fact they would not fully refund my card when I had never used their app or service. Fraudulent charges.

This company is horrible. Multiple charges not approved by myself. They have probably taken close to $100 of my money without my consent. Customer service is zero help.

I purchased the product thinking that it was going to give meal plans/tips and give you details on the what when and/or how. Oh was I surprised when it was finally sent to me. The plan first off started on day two mind you I placed the order at 10PM on the same day that the plan started for me. Second the plan didn't give you any meal prep or what to buy so that you could actually follow through the plan and prep or have items in house. It is just a mess all together and a scam if you ask me. I saw what the company was offering and immediately requested cancellation only to be told that there are no refunds. With better me you better not. Also, what I find odd now is that there's nowhere to write or find reviews I wish I had done my research first. Lesson learned.

Yes, I should've read reviews before I trusted this "company" or whatever they call themselves.
I've tried explaining why I should get a refund but maybe they are just not educated enough to understand. See, I just don't know what to do anymore, draw a picture...?. OR, they know exactly what I mean but they don't give a ****. They keep repeating the same lines in every e-mail.
If they wanted better reviews from their 'customers'... they should've been more professional and less... unprofessional...
Also, I see you keep taking money from people who stopped the subscription and even those who never subscribed... Disgusting.

I don't need no reply from your so called team. I just need people to read this and not be so trusty and dumb like I have been...
