Have tested several programs like this one. In my opinion it is the easiest one to manage. And a very professional support if you need any help

David Murphy went above and beyond to help me. He was very proactive and had a backup plan, something we don't find in customer support today.

Good but not perfect, paid almost 200 bucks per year and find the customer support is not efficient enough. Definitely a lot to work on.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! Horrible customer service, the agents lie, mislead and never resolve your issue. Thumbs way down! Huge regret! They are also thrives.

Tip for consumers:
Run away from this horrible business, I’d call it a service but you don’t receive any of that.

Products used:
I initiated a free trial, canceled that “free” trial and they charged the card anyway without refund. This company is low class. They are violating the laws and will be prosecuted.

I'm still evaluating the program itself. I like it much better now than I did 3 weeks ago. It's great for international research.

The young lady solved my problem and was a delight to talk with. Enjoyed her Irish accent. Especially since I have Irish ancestors.
