Review of Tubi


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Trivago is losing, not gaining.

Sure, there are commercials, but it's the same damn commercials everytime. For instance, I will NEVER use Trivago because I'm so sick of their commercials. Do you really think this marketing works? Nope, it doesn't .

Review of Crave


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Run away...don't waste your money

Crave is the worst for a poor user interface, repeated lost signal and nothing special about the content. We got Crave as a freebie with our Virgin account.
No wonder its free. There's not a chance in hell I would ever pay for this crappy service. Don't waste your money. Every few months I think maybe they listened and changed something. Nope. Now it currently shows me logged into my account but everytime I pick any show, it says I need a account. Explain that logic. Virgin didn't give me a freebie, they gave me a curse.

Review of TELUS


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Telus security solutions are not solutions, they are a doorway to hell

You can't get any worse when dealing with this kind of company. Best advice, just avoid if possible. As a company I deeply regret having to deal with the security solutions this company offers.
No customer communcations availiable, poorly trained staff, inability to escalate complaints. So frustrating. I would require several pages to share the lack of customer support. Just don't deal with them.

Review of TELUS


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Non-existent customer service

We are an existing long term business account. Our history with ADT and then Telus has always been consistently terrible.

We tried to upgrade (that's right, more money for Telus) and I still had to hang up after on hold 20 minutes. They just don't care about customers. If they lose a few hundred, no problem, they have thousands. There simply is NO customer service, regardless how big your account is.

Review of Dymo


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Buy the product, but don't use the website

Purchased a RHINO 5200 a few years ago and went to their site to get a user manual.
A horrible experience. Dropdowns don't work. Downloads don't work. Can't get any support because the forms won't send with empty fields. The fields where the dropdowns fail.
But thank you DYMO for helping me make my further purchase choices.

Review of ClearScore


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Unexplained severe rating drop

For the last year my credit score has been excellent and stable. Minor changes (-+ 5 points).
Now, for December my score has dropped almost 60 points and there has been no changes to my financial staus, no new debts, no missed payments, no new credit enquiries.
Researching their site, it shows my account has no changes, but yet my score has dropped. When there is a change, usually there is a note as to why. Not this time, and I consider 60 points a substantial hit.
Why?

Review of Creality


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Avoid it....just because the manual is so poor

I would like to give you a review on how the Ender 3 S1 Pro works, but I can't do that. Why? Because the manual is so poorly written that I can't even understand the bed levelling (which I do understand in concept) instructions. They are vague. They tell you to do it one way and then do it the other way. There are steps missing. So, I don't know if it's a good printer because all my models slide off and its due to bed levelling that I get can't set properly. I bought it a year ago and gave up trying to get it to level. I just tried again (1 year later) and remember why I had so much trouble. The manual is useless.

Review of Seeed Studio


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

XIAO nRF52840

Are you interested in exploring the world of microprocessors and BLE communications? Well the Seeed Studios XIAO nRF52840 is not the way to go. Like many other Chinese manufactures, the electronics are sound and have great results in past however, their failure to keep the hardware drivers and software libraries up to date have rendered the product useless for the beginner. Trying to use the product today in the Arduino IDE is nothing short of heart wrenching frustration as the simplest program won't compile due to out of date libraries. Save your money. Use a non Seeed Studio device.

Review of BMO


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

BOM - not a customer driven institution - profit driven

Tried using their online banking tonight. All my accounts show no transaction history, even though there are several transactions per day. No system messages about any trouble issues.
I tried to call the support center, but it put me on hold for several minutes before an automated response told me the support center was closed until tomorrow morning.
This is yet another example how this financial instution fails the customer in service, but doesn't hesitate to charge fees and report record profits each quarter.

Review of Epic Games


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Good games, but false reviews and inability to remove games from library

You ever try to checkout a game on Epic to determine if the game is for you or not. Checking the reviews you see 4.5/5.0 or 4.7/5.0. Well, they have these "free" games and some are quite good, but...
Once you find a game and find out its a bomb, you want to review it. Well, you can't. So if I can't review the game, where exactly are the reviews coming from? I'm a regular user and I can't review. So the 4.5/5.0 or 4.7/5.0 reviews must be fake or created inhouse.
And don't even get me started on the fact is you CAN'T REMOVE a game from your library. You can uninstall it, but you have to stare at it for the rest of your life. And this complaint dates back to 2019.
Shame on you Epic.

Review of Crave


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Errors, disconnects starting on day one

I got Crave as a gift thru Virgin for customer loyalty. It allowed multiple devices, but only one stream. I registered on our TV and only one TV.
In less than 4 hours after first registering, I got kicked off once and later got "too many devices" two times within an hour. Next day, tried to watch and after a few hours again "too many devices" warning.
All my other services are wifi with no problems and crave is CAT6 cabled and it has the problems. My have had no connection issues while gaming or IoT, but Crave has problems. Read all the reviews, this service is terrible.

Review of Udemy


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Udemy - courses out of date - no human help

Issue #1 (July 1, 2024)
Many courses exist, but you must be careful. Any courses dealing with software can be using an older version of the software (quite common) and it is no longer compatiable with the software thats currently being made available by developers.
Several courses do not mention the version being used until you make the purchase.
If you do purchase a course, open it immediately and examine the intro to determine what version of software is being used. If an older version, quickly request a refund, because the refund policy is quite rigid and time limited after the purchase.
Issue #2 (July 11, 2024)
If you do decide to enroll in a course, be prepared to understand there is NO HUMAN HELP. The course is just a long script that you must follow. If you run into a problem, they say you can post a question, but questions may or may not be answered. It will take days to get a response, if any.

Review of Best Buy Canada


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Give us your money, no product information available

Went to the website to look at possibly purchasing a new phone. Looked at all the devices. One thing was not present. They have no technical data listed. If you want to learn about the phone capabilities you have to go elsewhere and then come back to Best Buy to pay their inflated price.
Well, my search for techinal data found all the information I needed and a better price. No need to return to Best Buy.

Review of AliExpress


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Nice products. ZERO support

AliExpress is a great site when everything is working, however....
If you have a problem with the actual site (web interface) there is no one..I mean NO ONE to contact. With millions of customers, they really don't care if they drop a couple of thousand for lack of customer support.
I used to shop there, but the website no longer behaves properly on my Chrome browser and there is nothing I can do but warn others and shop elsewhere.
PS: Cookies have been erased, but problem persists.

Review of DoorDash


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Coupon offer, but you can't use it

Doordash sent me a coupon via email and then when I ordered, it never gave opportunity to use the coupon.

Added extra charges (forcing us to pay a delievery charge AND tip the driver).

When we tried to cancel, they said we can't get full refund. Basically, a robbery in progress in my opinion.

Review of SkipTheDishes


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Food is not guaranteed

Placed an order for lunch because I could not leave work. Tracking app info...
12:19 Order placed
12:20 Restaurant accepted order
12:21 Driver arrived at Restaurant
12:53 mcD needs more time (email)
1:20 map shows driver leaving Restaurant
1:36 your order will be matched with a courier closer to your pickup time (what does that mean?)
1:45 order cancelled by system
1:52 offered $5 credit if it kept in system as a credit, otherwise just refund on credit card

The fact that I had to work another 5 hours without eating was of no consequence to them.

Review of Noom


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

No humans, just a scripted app

Most of the advertising speaks of a support network and professional advise.
I've fallen off my program for a few weeks now and nobody is asking or supporting me. The program is just a pre-planned and dictated site which you can do yourself for a lot less than the fee they charge. You are still alone in your attempt to lose weight.
