While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more
I bought a copy of Windows 10 for £18 and received the download link that anyone can obtain for free. I only needed the product key but no key has appeared yet. Their claimed 1-2 hour support response produces no response at all.
I should have been more careful with their prices being so reasonable but I was taken in by their professional looking website.
I shall have to raise a dispute with my credit card company to obtain a refund.
they have ignored requests for a refund, due to Microsoft quote ( Unfortunately we cannot complete the transaction as our records do not recognise this as a valid product) I did try there codes to no joy there, they recommended activation by telephone but this was stopped by Microsoft in December 25. There 24/7 contact does not exist all I have received is 2 review files no other contact.
Bought a copy of Pinnacle Studio 19 Video editing software, they provided the download link but not the licence number and are not responding to any of my requests to provide the licence.
I bought a copy of Magix Xara Web Designer for £18 and received the download link and product code by return. I installed the software and tried to register it, but was told by Magix that this product code had already been used 7 months ago.
I contacted the company, but no response, so I have now raised a dispute with mu credit card company to obtain a refund.
Software Desert's website looked professional and had contact details, so I thought it seemed genuine. I bought a product key for Microsoft Office 2016 for a discounted price of £13.50, but the emails I received didn't include the product key! (Yes, I did check my Junk folder.) I emailed back to complain but heard nothing more. So I've been ripped off, fortunately by only a small amount. My fault for not checking Trustpilot before buying.
