“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.

As a university student I thought this was a great alternative, should have read these review first. I emailed them multiple times to try and get a refund and nothing. Tried calling nothing. This is a $#*!ing scam and they will not reach out to you on time. Called my bank and had to report fraud. This happening while my aunt died this week and I had to fly out to see her definitely made it harder on me. Thanks for nothing. Stop scamming people. And Sarah H the girl that keeps replying to these, don't tell me to live chat with you guys cause that doesn't work on your site, don't tell me to call because I tried to call and don't tell me to email cause I did email you and you haven't responded to me once.

A "free online converter" that sneak charges you at the very end and then tries to hook you for an extortionate subscribe fee if you forget... thanks a lot.

I signed up for the 7-Day access. I PAID $1.95 for said access, and was overall okay with it. I only needed it for a few documents for a new position I got, and that was all well and good to get it done. I was easy enough to use, and once finished I clicked out and didn't look back. However to my dismay, about a month later I got a charge for $39.95 for PDF Simpli. I found out later that the 7-Day "Access" is a trial and designed to make you forget about it so they can charge you through the nose for it.

They refunded me, albeit at a prorated rate (go figure) and it's safe to say it left a sour taste in my mouth and I will not be using them again.

Tip for consumers:
Just get a real PDF editor.

PDFSimpli's website is somewhat confusing and deceptive. Potential customers are pushed into autorenewal payment and payment for a service choice not wanted. The company's policies concerning cancellation and refund are enshrined in a fail safe process (for the company) which leaves some customers without restituion and recourse.

PDF Simpli charge me $39.95 for a subscription that I have no recollection of opening. I brought this charge to the notice of my bank, as I believed it fraudulent. Within a short time PDF Simpli had made a refund: it is probable that the bank had contacted them. Their refund notice referred to me as a customer. That is incorrect: I never signed up as a customer.
My advice: avoid Simpli.

So far things are going smoothly, but the document hasn't been converted yet, so it's too early to say.

Reason I chose this business:

It was the first link that came up in my search for how to convert a pdf to a doc (though I really wanted a Google Doc, not a Word Doc).

This is a phishing same. They is theft. They have some small print and then they will start charge your card $39.95 per month.
They know they are stealing, rudest customer service on the planet, they are blunt about their theft.
SCAME

Tip for consumers:
They will not refund you your money. They will share or sell all documents you upload.

Not a fan of spending 20+ minutes on a paper, only to be forced to pay to download that same paper after the fact. If you're going to do something like this, at least have the payment screen BEFORE I start working on my paper, so I know not to waste my time.

Hi,

We are sorry for the inconvenience. 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. To try our product for free only for one file, you have to choose the “Delayed” option. This option allows you to convert and wait 24 hours for your document to be able to download or pay for our 14 day trial (for $1.45 or $1.95) to get your file immediately. We have different offers depending on your needs, please reach out to us by phone 1-844-898-1076 or by email at support@worksimpli.io.
