Wondershare is total pants it does not…

WonderShare is total pants it does not work!!! I initially researched the best application to remove watermarks & all recommended WonderShare.

I started off using the free trial version- which was fine & it prompted me to purchase the full version- Its Not Cheap!!!

Once purchased the service for removing watermarks does not work

I raised a ticket and asked for a refund because if I cant use the service for what it was intended, then they should refund what I paid & use that to find a product that works
But I got a sorry excuse of their refund policy, which is basically saying, 'I Don't give a Damn'- This is total pants

I have the emails as evidence & I have written to my local MP - Too Many People are being scammed from these Online Internet Applications, & Google Allow it.

They wouldn't get away with this, if WonderShare was a shop or a store.

They are only getting away with this because there are actual no regulations or laws from Google or Governments to protect consumers

This is really bad!!!! That they can steal consumers money and their product does not work.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We desire every interaction you have with us to be as smooth and as hassle-free as possible, but sadly, we didn't achieve it this time. As we explained to you in another review, we accept a refund request if the customer encounters technical issues that are unable to be solved within 7/30 days. We are desperate to fix it after knowing you were encountering a problem during using the product, and this is the reason our support may explain more details regarding our refund policy and advise you to provide some key information (like a screenshot showing the problem and log files, etc.) for further troubleshooting, and this was also the reason we didn't process a refund for you in the first place.

To further take care of your concern, would you please just update your order number or ticket number here? If we only receive your several bad reviews, however, we cannot get a chance to further help you solve it, there will be no change or help for your current situation. Seek your kind understanding. Thanks again!

Customer Service is Amazing

I had a problem with my screen going black when I used an effect in my video and so I used the Customer Service and the agent, Christopher, immediately fixed my problem while being super nice! Thank you Christopher, you saved me a lot of trouble.

Wondershare rescued my mp4 video file. Thanks!

I have a 4K video cam and record my group performances. Sometimes I forget to check the battery and if it runs out of juice while recording, the video file becomes useless as it has no metadata saved.
I tried wondershare video recovery for free trial to see if it works on Oct 24th. It did indeed and saved my video! I purchased the product online using paypal. Unfortunately it was linked to my wife's email, which made it difficult to install on my computer with my email address. I called the customer service dept and got right through to Jerry in customer support. It took him about 15 minutes to figure out how to resolve the issue. It's now up and running and I can't thank Jerry enough! *****

Famisafe, Not reliable at all

Great when it works but to many issues. Any issues are always blamed on service or mobile phone, never the actual app. I've given up sending reports and evidence as they do nothing. One day it showed my daughter in the middle of a dual carriage way when in fact she was at school. The particular location was near school and a very dangerous crossing.

Mojoe was outstanding

Mojoe was outstanding. I use to teach customer service seminars in my career as a corporate performance analyst. He touched all the right bases in terms of being Very technically competent, very patient, very analytical and took the time to walk me through each step.
Now, for the rest of your customer service peocess you folks need a lot of work. I tried bought Wondershare 14 Thurs Oct 13 it took me until Sunday Oct 16 to talk to a live person that could help me. The problem was all on me but I did not know that intil Moje helped me. Plus the music you play on the IVR is the most irritating music to listen to while your waiting for ever. I was told someone would be wit me in 13 minutes. I waited 30 and nothing. I did get emails and that was good but very confusing directions in the emails. Hope this helps. You need to hire more people like Mojoe.

Wondershare FamiSafe is a trash software.

Worse Customer Service:

Jaycee, Barry, Leo, Pat are useless. Sent 18 email to resolve my issue or get refund, didn't provide any solution, told me to give them access to my computer through team viewer or call their office. Every time different person replied to my email and each time they kept asking the same questions as the previous person.

Subscription Plan:

I subscribed to 3 months plan, since it came with 3 days free trial, but when logged into the dashboard I saw that my subscription was annual plan. Told them about the issue but they didn't provide any solution.

Can't use the iPhone's features:

I can't use the app on iPhone since it requires "Wondershare Connect" and I installed it but it crashes when you open it. I asked them to send me the version which works on my device but they said they can't do that.

Hi Zack. Thanks for sharing your experience. We desire every interaction you have with us to be as smooth and as hassle-free as possible, but unfortunately, we didn't achieve it this time. I'd like to present our deepest apologies for all inconvenience that happened on your end, and Wondershare values each customer's benefits and we'll do our best to further help you out.

Regarding the issues about your subscription plan and can't access to iPhone's features, we failed to reproduce them with Famifafe. We need to further investigate the root reason and provide a solution for you accurately, this is the reason our technical support invited you to build a remote session. However, it is not accepted by you and in order to take care of your concern especially, we process a full refund on 2 September as requested, please double-check your account to confirm if you have received the money yet. If any further doubts, please feel free to email us back and we are always happy to help!

Do not spend your money on a…

Do not spend your money on a Wondershare product. Their refund policy does not provide peace of mind for a customer. It is not a stress free experience. Company will decline a refund until they are convinced their engineering team or code is at fault. You will jump through hoops and more hoops in a maze of micro frustrating experiences. It will test your patience and how you value your time.

Product does not work as advertised. Cooperated with customer service instructions, uninstalled and reinstalled app, requested log files from computer and sent to engineering department, was promised I'd hear back from team within 24 hours and DID NOT hear back. Have tried unplugging and replugging wires, restarting computer and restarting phone, updating my software. Etc. As a customer, I made a good faith effort to comply with company troubleshooting instructions.

Would not recommend doing business with.

Wondershare At It Again

Update Aug 12/2022
Wondershare did contact me as can be seen in their reply below. After a number of back an forth they were prepared to re-offer what they had offered in late November other than with whatever upgrades that had occurred in the interim. Again considerable time and frustration to arrive at what was offered nearly 8 months prior. In the interim because they shut down PDF Editor I had to find another program to take care of work that needed to be done. Basically I went back to them asking why I would accept what should have benn 8 months earlier. Given their propensity to upgrade programs and then expect to receive more compensation for existing programs that no longer work does not give me a lot of comfort in their business model. If I am going end up having to repay I might as well find a different software company. Unfortunately their software does work well in my experience. However I only like to pay for a program once unless it is laid out that there is an annual fee up front,

In late 2021 I had an issue with Wondershare and their Uniconverter program. I have posted a review on that episode so will not go through the details. I had spent numerous hours and emails to get the issue resolved. I made the point that although the issue with Uniconverter had been resolved I was a very unhappy customer. Wondershare came back and offered a selection of other software as compensation for all my time and frustration. I was impressed and took them up on the offer. I selected Wondershare PDF element as compensation expecting that I would have ongoing use of the program. Approximately 5 months later Wondershare has cancelled access to the program other than a trial basis. When I contacted Wondershare they came back and told me that PDF element was a monthly program and I had used it for a few months and was no longer had access unless I wish to sign up for a monthly fee.

This is the same stunt they pulled on Uniconverter. I had paid for a program. They did an update on the program I had bought a few months before and it no longer worked. I could pay a fee to upgrade. That was not the original contract. Now they pull the same thing on PDF element. To say the least I am far from pleased with their business model which seems to be once they had you on the hook it is keep paying. I have to admit so far I have been pleased with both uniconiverter and PDF element software. It would appear they are competent at developing software but their business ethics are questionable at least as I see it.

Hi Wha. Thanks for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the doubt and inconvenience that happened on your end. For your case, we'd like to make a further explanation as follow:

Upon checking, we checked that you ordered a Perpetual license of UniConverter (version 12) in 2020. A perpetual license is a one-time payment, you own the software for a lifetime and have free minor updates within this version, however, you need to pay for major upgrades. A free upgrade is not allowed due to the license policy. For the PDFelement, it is also in the same rule.

Per your concern reported last year, we futher discussed your case to our senior manager and gotten permission to upgrade your license from 12 to 13 last year in order to support you especially. Seek your understanding.

Meanwhile, we have sent related discount offers for you to upgrade to the latest major version of UniConverter and PDFelement via email. Please keep an eye on your inbox.

Hi Wha. Thanks for further sharing your thought of the upgrades of our PDFelement and UniConverter. We sincerely apologize for the doubt and inconvenience that happened on your end again. In line with your concern, please allow us to make some explanation as below.

A perpetual license is a one-time payment, which means the user owns the software for a lifetime and has free minor updates within this version. This is the reason you need to pay for major upgrades (like PDFelement 9, UniConverter 14, etc). In order to bring more cool and powerful features to our users, our R&D brothers are always writing codes until late at night every day, and almost being bald. Seek your understanding based on our large investment of time and energy.

If you encounter any technical issues during use, please feel free to contact us at customer_service@wondershare.com, and we will provide support forever!
