Responsive customer service
September 22, 2020

I was having some difficulties with my PDFElement software, in part related to my having a Mac, and in part related to user error. But Wondershare's support techs were helpful and responsive and got me squared away!

Excellent customer support
September 24, 2020

Purchased HiPDF. Then I found out you had a better one PDFelement, and thanks to Amanda from customer support, I could purchase the second one (with a teacher discount) and got a refund for the first one. All in a jiffy

Be Careful

They auto charge you annually. I tried to cancel today, the same day they automatically renewed my subscription and they refused to refund. Not a great company.

Worst Nightmare Possible
August 16, 2023

I bought the software because i needed to batch add outros to my videos and it loses quality

Requested a refund 4 days after purchase and guess what, they try to dodge it and put the blame on me under pretext that I changed my mind, they ask for a ton of proof and the customer support is just HORRIBLE

They don't even bother to say your name

I spent hours trying to get the software to activate. I tried several times to resolve the issue via Wondershare's useless automated help desk. Once I finally got fed up and tried to cancel, they forced me into a queue for assistance that never updated. I requested that they honor the 30day Money Back Guarantee posted on their site, but instead they hid behind a policy of no refunds no matter what. They demanded the opportunity to resolve the issue, but after hours of frustration all I wanted was my $10 refunded. Three days later they still refuse to refund or honor their Money back Guarantee (even tho I've clearly not been able to activate or use any software). Additionally I've requested multiple times that they remove my profile and personal data as per US and UK Privacy Laws, and they've completely ignored me.
I've now been forced to file a dispute with Amex, file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for disregard of privacy laws, and alert my attorney to begin the process of legal mitigation… all because of their shady and unethical business practices. If you have a money-back guarantee posted for the World to see… then you really should honor it.

Nice but awful
February 15, 2022

Impressively dense and dumb support, agent did not read much of what I said over and over. Will avoid at all costs. Product usually works and is pretty, but expensive. Just use Hirens Boot PE free.

Shameless scammers
August 29, 2023

Why do people pay for a subscription to Wondershare Recoverit? - To get the result as soon as possible, because their work file is broken, and it needs to be fixed ASAP, to does not affect their work.

I absolutely don't recommend Wondershare Recoverit, as it doesn't work!

I contacted their technical support, to say that Recoverit does not work, and ask they return the money for the subscription, because they service can't help me, as stated.
They asked me to send them screenshots with an error to confirm the problem, and then a broken working file so that their technical specialists would try to fix it.
For the third day they have been fooling me and they do not want to return the payment for the subscription.
They still can't or don't want solve the problem with the file. Technical support behaves as if they are mocking me. They asked to send an example of a good file created on the same device, and after I did it, they just return this file back with the phrase "here is your restored file, we fixed it". What?! Are they serious?!
Then again they ask to send them screenshots of the error that I sent them twice already.

I don't believe they will ever refund my money. I think they are shameless scammers.

I downloaded PDFElement 11 months ago. Nowhere did it say anything about being charged. I have ZERO emails from this company advising me of anything. Complete scam and fraud.

If you pay for a lifetime license they will force you to upgrade and pay them more money to use the service you have already paid for. Really one of the worst software experiences of my life.

Hi Tyler, we sincerely apologize for the doubt and inconvenience that happened on your end. Wondershare values each customer's benefits and we care about the voice of each user. In line with your concern about the upgrade, kindly let me explain the Perpetual License in more detail, and hopefully, it will make things clearer and help you.

A perpetual License is indeed a one-time payment. With it, users own access to the software forever and have free minor updates within this version. However, he/she might need to pay for major upgrades. For example, the user can update software from version 13.1.X to 13.2.X for free, but the upgrade from the major version 13 to version 14 may require an extra fee. We also included this information on the price page. To bring more cool and powerful features to our users, we are always doing our best to improve the product. Seek your understanding based on our large investment of time and energy.

As we are not sure of the specific product name you are referring to, would you please drop an email at customer_service@wondershare.com? Our support will verify your license authorization further and then provide some suggestions in a targeted manner. Thank you!

Scam
February 1, 2024

My son and I signed up for their "free" trial and they charged my PayPal $80. I canceled it within 5 minutes once I saw that they charged me, filed a PayPal dispute, and tried speaking with Wondershare's customer service. They refused to refund their "free trial". THIS IS A SCAM and their customer service is appalling as they are slow to respond and are like talking to robots.

Hi Dara, thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry for the inconvenience that happened on your end. Normally, we provide the trial version for customers to try each feature of this software to confirm if it meets their requirements before purchasing. But if the customer fills in your bank details and accepts the user agreement according to our website instructions, then he/she will be deducted.

We are eager to investigate the matter further, however, the current information is too limited. Noting you've contacted us, would you please drop an email at customer_service@wondershare.com with more details like ticket number or order number, etc.?

Look forward to getting in touch with you sincerely!
