Considering 139 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people expressed dissatisfaction with the payment process, feeling misled by advertised prices and encountering unexpected charges. Customers frequently reported issues with subscriptions, often feeling they were signed up without clear consent or knowledge, leading to recurring payments they did not expect. The website was also a source of frustration for many, who found it unclear about pricing and subscription terms. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with the user experience, describing the tests as engaging, easy to understand, and well-laid out. Some also appreciated the straightforward interface and the non-timed format of the quizzes.

SCAM

It's not 50p! It's a £39.99 subscription thats not mentioned anywhere! Pretty much a scam. If you buy it make sure you cancel within 48 hours

Took £40 from my son who paid 0.50p for his IQ score, without realising he was purchasing a subscription. Their terms and conditions state parents consent is required however he did not have and they did not check he had it. He asked for his money back as soon as he realised (3days later). They have refused him a refund even though their terms and conditions state there is a 14 day cooling off period.

SCAM!DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They trick you into thinking once you reach the end of the IQ test you pay just 49p. But you have to obviously put your bank details in in order to pay the 49p which they keep hold of. A couple of days after I paid the 49p over £100 has come out of my bank from this company without my permission. I simply paid 49p for a quick result and have now been frauded and scammed.

Good Service after a slip up on my side

I had some Problem regarding the cancellation of my subscription, which leaded in an unwanted payment from my side.
That wasnt the fault of the site tho as I got some account details mixed up and thus could not cancel the subscription myself. After some time the site owner reached out to me, refunded the payment and closed the subscription right away.

Puzzling

It was testing my eyes and mind very well to see if I could see the many differences for each question.
