  I purchased this software on October 5th to unlock a apple tablet. Not only did the software not work as advertised but it destroyed my tablet. It will not even turn on now. I reached out to them numerous times requesting a refund and they keep asking me to provide information that I cannot provide since the tablet is not broken. I have explained this to them over and over and they will not refund me.

  On November 3rd, I downloaded this software & paid $50 to try to get into an old phone that I had recently repaired & needed into rather quickly. I tried and tried multiple times during this day with their software and it continued to fail. Finally, I just gave up on the software & had to pay a professional to do it for me. So I reached out to the company requesting a refund since it didnt work. It took over a week of emails back and forth for them to tell me today that because I used the old version of the software they could not issue a refund. Im not understanding how the version thats on the front page of their website is the old version and how a customer is supposed to be able to know that. The only solution offered is to give me software of equal value, which I do not need.

  I purchased a software tool that 'promised' to recover lost iphone data on October 2, 2024. The website claimed there was a 30-day money back guarantee. The software did not work. I reported the issue and requested a refund the same day. The seller did not respond so I opened a claim through ****** on October 3, 2024. The seller did not respond until after I opened a claim and requested several logs to trouble-shoot. All of these logs confirmed that the software did not work. Despite this, the seller still has not provided a refund and ****** has denied the claim with no option for appeal as of October 29, 2024. I'm currently working with my bank to dispute the charge to get my money back; however, this is clearly fraudulent business practices on both the seller's part as well as ******'s.

  I downloaded software to connect to my grandsons iPhone which he had put in a passcode he could not remember. I downloaded merchandise and it would not connect to his iPhone. I did all of the instructions they sent me but the last one as I am out of town and my grandson needs his phone with Life 360 as it is summer and he has plans to to stay with other friends. I requested refund and the response to trouble shoot is like in the middle of the night. All I want is my money back! They are trying to delay the process. Telling me to send pics which I cannot. In this day and age of technology, I have always been able to resolve any issue with other companies on anything I purchase in the same day. If I could have gotten the software to work it would have been great. But as we speak my daughter has taken the phone to a cell phone repair to wipe the phone and start over. Its a ****** phone and I cannot buy another one. It was like update software update iTunes and I have taken steps to do all that. But I have a job! It is just irritating with they put demands on you as if you have nothing else to do and the response to anything takes forever and for the most part in the middle of the night! Frustrated is an understatement!

  I paid $49.95 for a software through this company. While downloading the firmware for use I received an error message that prevented me from being able to use the services I paid for. I immediately contacted customer support for assistance and received no help. Days later they responded and told me I needed to send a screen shot of the error I received in order to receive a refund. I was unable to get back to the error and still did not receive the service I paid for. I tried working with the company multiple times and explained my inability to get back to the firmware download where the error occurred. They did not care and refused to refund me for services that were not rendered. I would never use this company - they are scammers.

  Dear BBB Team

  Sorry for getting back to you late.
  

  As for this refund request, we need to explain that in the beginning, the description of the problem from the consumer was a bit vague. We thought that consumer is unable to download our "software" on computer. We would like to further confirm the issue, so we ask the user to provide relevant error screenshots, but the user is unable to provide them. After multiple email communications, we finally understand that the user encountered an issue while downloading and installing the "iOS system firmware package". We asked the user to provide a log file on January 8, ****, but the user did not reply. We have contacted the user again to investigate the issue. If it is confirmed that there is indeed a problem with the program, we will issue a refund as soon as possible.

  We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

  Kind Regards,

  Aiseesoft Studio

  First of all, I am a consumer who has used this site before so I am familiar with it. On Dec 26th, I wanted to use the image upscale service with 8x. So, I purchased a $14.9 monthly subscription. However, after the purchase, I found that I still couldn't access the 8x magnification feature, and it kept prompting me to upgrade my service, stating that my current entitlement only allows for 2x magnification. Thinking that my purchase might not have been successful, I then bought a monthly plan for a hundred images, but I still cannot use the feature for no reason. Additionally, there is no record of my purchases on my account page. So I didn't use any of the features that worked for me and didn't solve my problem on time. Also, I am pretty sure that I have indeed logged in with ******* but my order page does not display any record of my orders, as you can see in the screenshot, including the date in the bottom right corner. Secondly, I am quite disappointed that you haven't addressed the consumer's concerns. I need a REFUND for the two duplicate monthly subscription orders because they did not demonstrate the timeliness and effectiveness I require when using them. Moreover, this results from issues in your backend system, and you must take responsibility for it. My final request is to get a refund.

  Dear BBB Team,

  We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused.

  As for this issue, our consumer logged into our website with Gmail directly. But generally consumer needs to create a new Aiseesoft account with purchase e-mail account so that the subscription can be bound to the relevant account. That's the reason why he can't use our product. We have contacted our consumer to teach him how to create Aiseesoft account and bind the subscription.

  We are waiting for the feedback from consumer.

  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in advance.

  Kind Regards,

  Aiseesoft Team

  On 8-8-23, I bought a software titled Aiseesoft Video Repair for $39.96, from the following website: ************************************************************************************************************************************************ paying through PayPal (attachment 2023-08-08-PaypalTransaction.jpg) I proceeded to download the Aiseesoft Video Repair software as per instructions given in Aiseesoft email of 08-08-2023 (attachment 2023-08-08-ProductKey&DownloadInstructions.jpg).I installed the product, try to use it twice, but the software closed its screen with no warning or error message on both occasions. About an hour after buying the software, I proceeded to email the company and ask for a refund. (attachment 1-emailToAiseesoft-08-08-23.jpg) I found the software confusing and complicated; I am 72 years old.Aiseesoft is not accepting my claim for a refund because they want a copy of the videos I used. I have told them, in various occasions that the videos are private property and I will not sent them. They want me to help debug their software problem and I think that is also not right. Their programmers or quality control team are the ones supposed to do that.I told them that on the website I ordered the software, it said 30 Day Money Guarantee (attachment aiseesoftMoneyBackGuarantee.jpg). They replied that after the message there is a very small circle that if you place the mouse very close to it, another message displays If there is a quality problem within 30 days after purchasing, we can provide you a refund. I did not see that small circle, much less moved the mouse close to it. A hidden message or a condition that if there is a quality problem should not be accepted as an excuse to refuse a refund. Quality problems should be a responsibility of their programmers or their quality team, not the customers.Please, read all the attachments carefully, I send them to PayPal but apparently, they did not understand the situation and refused my claim. They based their decision that the software was delivered to me. I never claimed not receiving the software, I was only claiming a refund because the software did not work for me.Thanks for the help you can give me.

  I bought and downloaded FoneLab so as to retrieve deleted photos from my cell phone. I could not get the download to work. I asked for a refund on 3/26/23, less than two hours after I purchased the software online. Aiseesoft responded by saying they only refund in case of a defect in their product. They led me to a website to install a root for my cell phone. I tried that and it led to another program that cost more money. I again asked for a refund. A woman by the name of ******* continues responding, but gives me the runaround each time. I only want a refund. I have nothing to show for my purchase.

  Dear customer,

  We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

  Just as we explained in the e-mails, Android devices should have been rooted before recovering data, then our software can get higher authority of the device to find more deleted data. Hope you can understand.
  As for your refund request, we have submitted refund application for you. Please wait for some time and check if the refund reaches to your account later.

  Feel free to contact us if there is anything we can assist you with.
