“I love that this program is easy to use and understand”

Henry Y.
9/12/24

I love that this program is easy to use and understand. However, it should be clearer that the subscription price goes up after 2 weeks and you will be charged a significantly larger amount after that period.

“Completely a Scam! Paid $2 for a pdf and secretly subscribe you for $40/month”

Ivy Y.
11/16/24

I paid $2 to download one pdf and turned out they automatically subscribed me for $40/month. Don't tell me it's transparent, when they charge me every month, I never receive a invoice nor receipt. Just charge my visa until I found out months later. Such a SCAMP. It is even more expensive than Adobe pdf editor. No not ever give your credit card number to it.

Predatory payment plan of 2 dollars for 14-days, with fine print not clearly highlighted or obvious below stating it will begin charging your card a monthly sum unless you remember to cancel your subscription. Scumbags. No offer of any compensation for poor ethics from them - sharp practice avoid using them. Standard rely from them doesn't excuse their poor customer service and bad business practices.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use - avoid at all costs or will cost you.

Trash company that lets you waste your time yet advertises as a free pdf editor. You should change it to a free time waster and get ready to pay 1.45 for editing

I paid. $1.95 to convert a PDF to word. The word document was terrible and of no use to me. I then cancelled my subscription but now see a fraud alert from my bank for $39.95. How is this company still operating or in business.

Tip for consumers:
They should not be operating as they do not have a working product.

If this was supposed to be a paid service make it clear from the beginning. Don`t let me work 30 min on a document to ask for money afterwards. Junk service. Never coming back again.

pdfsimpli.com charges 39.95 every 4 weeks without notice to the email of the person being charged. I got an email confirmation of my trial subscription payment, but no notice of the ongoing charges. They will only refund for payments made in the last 30 days - so they are willing to stealth charge until someone notices that they are being charged and then only refund the last charge. If I had not checked credit card statements they would have drained my account over time.

The link I clicked on said "PDF Simpli PDFs Online Free - Edit, Save, Print" This was in fact not free. Don't have my physical card with me so caused a hassle on finding a different way to pay so I can get a pdf that i made minimal changes to.

Reason I chose this business:

Because it said free and I just needed to make a few changes. Thanks I guess

They originally charged me only $1.95 for this service, worth it, but then snuck in a proviso that it was a free trial only -- and then started charging me $39.95 a month after that. When I finally realized that I was getting charged this amount, they refused to give me my $79.90 back, saying that I had entered into the contract knowingly. Yeah, right.

I'm a senior citizen and $80 means more to me than the average person. Yet I have no recourse to get my money back for a service that I only used once because it was FREE. Ha.

Beware of these people. They advertise a free service and then charge you. You pay for 14 days and then out of the blue your account gets charged another $40! To be fair, they said they'd give me a refund, The service works but you can certainly deal with a more transparent organisation.

Hello,

Thank you for leaving us a review. Registering to our website, editing and converting is completely free and so is downloading the text version of the document in our editor.

To download the file in all other formats or print the converted document, then an active paid subscription is needed, which you can cancel at any time. Our product is very competitively priced when compared to our competitors.

To try our product for free only for one file, you have to choose the “Delayed” option and wait 24 hours for your document.

Thank you,

When I did the trial, I only expected it to come out one time. I was not given a notice that another $38 would come out of my account. I did not know that I needed to cancel that. It was an ongoing charge. They absolutely refused to refund my money even though the day I called was the final day to renew according to them they were rude and hung up on me as well refusing to give me a refund for something I don't even use.

Tip for consumers:
People are extremely rude and when I explain to them, I did not see anything on there. That indicated that I needed to renew this or cancel it.

Upon reviewing my billing statements, I noticed that WorkSimpli, a subsidiary of this company, was fraudulently charging my account in the amount of $39.95 each month. I never once authorized these charges nor used this service. I contacted WorkSimpli to inform them of the fraud and the fraudsters themselves replied saying all they would be willing to do is refund the most recently charge rather than the several fraudulent charges that were never authorized. They can also confirm on their own end that I was not using their services and did not authorize the charges yet they continue to deflect. They reference their terms of cancelling a free subscription but I was never the one to sign up for this in the first place and someone else illegally used my payment information yet they take zero responsibly and do not honor the laws based around fraudulent charges such as this case.

Fraudulent company illegally billing

This software is the second time i have been burned with them, they show up on google as free to use to simply fill out information but that is wrong. Once you are completed with your document, you are led to a page where you can pay anywhere from 14 days to longer. The 'free' option is buried as a link at the bottom of text, and even then to get your free download, you need to wait 24 hours and provide your credit card information. I would look elsewhere, I understand businesses need to make money but be honest up front with your customers that there really is no "FREE" use. You need to jump through hoops to get the 'free' dowload you were advertised.

To change the text in a pdf document I lost an hour. The text was not changed by me but by an employee through the chat. The application/website doesn't do its job, you waste time, modify and when you save you see that nothing has actually changed. I think it's a scam because I pay for this crap.

I can't download even one pdf or access it again after I already spent a whole hour and 10 minutes editing the pdf that's supposed to due in 3 minutes from now!? My bad if I misread some things but I'm literally so sure i didn't. I'm already failing this damn class and now my whole 11 paged assignment just got eaten by this website. Not to mention the whole thing just sucks. Tried to use the text but it kept glitching and duplicated every text I write. Didn't even bother using the pencil.

As soon as you see the charge--Call your bank and cancel your credit card. Do not call this place, it will get worse. They continue to try to get more money from you and even give you the number of your bank, they directly like you so you can approve the charge. I shut off my phone and called my bank which is taking care of it. The us a HUGE SCAM.

Do not sign up for a trial with this company. You can get free pdf conversions on the internet. They will auto renew for $39.95 a month for a free service. You can't get ahold of anyone to cancel the service prior to auto renew. Then when you call them off a credit card number... they are combative and rude. DON'T BUY FROM THEM.

Don't buy it. Don't try it.

I miss the 14 days trial deadline, OK. I was charged and thought I was good for the term. I didn't realize that they charged me again in one month. That site never informed or I'm blind that it costs $39.95 a MONTH! I paid $1.45 for the document and $39.95. Check out all statements, this not informative before you get charged. I was refunded but offered a resolution of $12.95 per document. CAN"T AFFORT PDFSIMPLI -- That's ridiculous.

Wasnt able to convert the text at all. Just a few broken words out of a whole letter. This was not a very clean photo of the image though. I hate that I had to first pay to see the results. I ended up paying for nothing.
