“To Achievable Objectives Are Easier Due To Team Work.”

The team's work ethic is something I truly admire. Great assignment help. For me specifically, this has made a significant difference. The achievements never cease to astound me. I appreciate you offering this distinct viewpoint, and I wholeheartedly suggest making use of the service.

“Rip off”

Spent $500 in 5 weeks on game content and a few days ago everything was deleted and the game started over. Neither Google Play nor EA SPORTS will refund my money. Complete rip offs.

Again and again I try out apps from Google Play store that are supposed to be some type of investment or passive income app. But everyone of them so far has been nothing more than a scam that never pays out and support never responds. I use to trust Google Play store because I believed they actually tested and verified these applications before offering them to the public. But now the name Google is anonymous with scam. How could a corporation like Google allow all these scams to be deployed by there services? This is unacceptable and poor business ethics. I am furious with Google for letting the public get ripped off by these scams apps and doing nothing about it. Google you are also guilty for these crimes and should be held accountable.

Tip for consumers:
LTC miner app is used to obtain codes for mixer pro 2.0 wallet app which cost $10.00. the codes are used to claim funds which when you have enough you can then withdraw the funds. But the funds never withdraw and always stay pending and support doesn't respond. Also had to purchase an additional code for $25.00 on the mixer pro 2.0 wallet app in order to have enough funds to withdraw.

The worst customer service ever! If a transaction goes wrong it seems impossible to correct. Only email support and they ask for the same information over and over again. It takes days for them to respond and when they respond they ask for information, screen shots that you already sent 4 times.

Google play has the worst customer service ever!!

Bought a play card for my son. When redeeming, it gave an error that more info was needed. Clicked the link and provided all information that was asked. Received an email stating it was not eligible for appeal with no further explanation. Tried to chat someone about this, but they said decision is final with no explanation as to why it cannot be appealed or how I am supposed to get my money back since the store we bought it from does not issue gift card refunds. Their final say over the matter was that I was holding up the waits and ended the chat.

My card was charged 2 days ahead of the scheduled subscription renewal. No authorization of the payment was asked of me (no push notification or sms). This specific function is not clearly stated on the site, or when you make the first purchase. You only find out that their policy is to charge ahead of time, when you're charged without your consent. When I requested a refund within 48 hours, they refused to refund it! There is no customer service at all. Never again will I use their services and do not recommend you do either.

Tip for consumers:
That they charge your card automatically, days ahead of renewal.

Verified purchase

Dishonest practices. Worst customer service.
Adobe clearly says that they will issue full refund within 14 days of initial order of the renewal, but Google play will give you run around and deny refunds.

I wish they are sued and made to pay users for such dishonest practices.

If I could give a zero star I would. Received a Google gift card digitally by Amazon email (a birthday gift) and it was unable to redeem. Went through the whole process with Google as they requested "more information". It was embarrassing to have to ask my friend for her receipt as she sent it to me as gift, and on top of that Google still rejected the gift card saying information "inconsistent" without further explanation which part of the information they're questioning. I tried to email, online chat, call in person, all gave me the same answer to go through the online submission again. And then the same response from Google "special team" that they're not satisfied with the document and cannot honor the card. Without saying why, it sure feels more like a scam. Big company sells digital money, refuse to honor and acknowledge it, what are we going to do. The whole experience is a shame and I will never ever in my life purchase/use another Google gift card.

Google removes honest reviews that use a less friendly tone but which, by definition, are not vulgar in any way. They temper with the freedom of speech right while defending companies that mock their customers. Just because of that Google Play deserves nothing more than a star for using aggressive censorship.

I bought 2 fitbits through google play-they came with 6 months free premium subscription. But google play took $14.99 after just 3 months and are refusing to refund. Just as well I noticed early or it would of been more. They are thieves. BTW a 1 star review because 0 is not available, shocking service.

Just a good app source for android devices... It has almost everything, and I say "almost" as there`s nothing perfect, this one has lots of useless apps too. But if you know what you`re searching for - everything is ok.

Horrible customer service. They don't care about fraudulent purchases made off of devices. So be careful because you will eat the money going through them. $160 in 5 minutes my bank even flagged it and shut down all debt cards. But Google said $#*! YOU basically. The girl I talked to even said yes luckily you called ASAP. Because it is pending we can do something about it. NOPE 3 days later they let it go through. And said oh sorry we can't do nothing about it. Will be going back to Apple as soon as my phone contracts are up. Never had Horrible costumer service with Apple. First time I had to contact Google and it was a huge $#*! you basically.

Purchased play cards from Walmart. Every time I have to wait days for them to review the receipt, and eventually I get what I paid for. Which is bad enough.

Not this time. All I get is a response saying that they won't help me. Save your money, go with apple or something. Google gets away with robbing people.

Don't support Google. They are thieves.

This company gets you hooked on playing their games by sending you a link for free points, then when you make purchases they literally steal your money, giving you very little bonuses on the games and low pay out points, until you run out and want to play more. That is stealing and taking advantage of an addiction they are creating and offering you nothing in return, but another link for a few more points so you will continue to purchase more. There should be a class action lawsuit against them, and they should be made to give back everything they've stolen.

I should of said something before, but Google play store seem to have games that seems to copy others. Most of them are like bootleg knock offs of some games I played in the 90's and early 00's. You look for one particular game and always got the bootleg version. Step your game up Google

Nowadays Google play become more and more serious on the reviews. But I feel that it is too difficult for users to write some reviews on the app. Surely there are many fake reviews and seriously can filter out most of the fake reviews but it also delete some real ones. I want to see some improvement on this website.

Somehow my google store credit has been frozen for a week now. I can not make a purchase because I keep getting 'payment error' according to wich 'I should be in the US to use google credit and gift cards'. I live in Illinois, and I was able to use half the amount of the gift card before it got frozen. Customer service agent says I am not old enough to make a purchase? Or I am not in the US or I didn't get the card from an authorized retailer... really? Even after sending her the receipt of the purchase from Walmart with Walmart's addres and purchase number on it. A whole week and they don't even know how to solve it

It works - you can download apps in a relatively short time but... it's flooded with crappy apps which often spam adds and are created just to milk your wallet. 2/5 stars.
