I would give zero stars if I could. I am a former advisor on this app. I'm not saying there aren't real advisors on here. There are some that truly wonderful people who compassionately want to help people... but you will spend ALOT of money before you find them. And they AREN'T the highest rated advisors. Those ones are the scam artists telling every single client the same thing, whatever they want to hear, providing false hope, happily taking their money and taking advantage of sad, mentally and emotionally unstable clients everyday for years until the client finally catches on. It didn't take long to realize why no actual reader would stay on this app for long. The real advisors will tell you the truth, not "say" they will tell you the truth, but will actually be honest with you. And as a result, don't get many reviews. Because they don't want to hear the truth. And also as a result have to deal with abusive clients. Clients who use the app daily and bounce around from advisor to advisor obsessively, become verbally abusive when you don't tell them what they want to hear. And the "community managers" tolerate this, otherwise they wouldn't do it so freely and easily like there is nothing wrong with calling you a B of telling you to F off. Whenever I've reached out for support I was some how to blame for this. No true reader would tolerate that kind of abuse for very long from either clients or the company. No true reader would take your money every day over and over again for the same question knowing that it's wrong. The owners and "community managers" are preying on a group of people who are truly feeling emotionally lost, who need actual help. They even have contests for the advisors when they run specials and whoever provides the most Readings wins a bonus. I've seen readers read 200 clients over the course of 2 days! That's impossible. Reading literally burns energy. And there is no way possible anyone legit could do that and say anything of substance. They also immediately highly encourage advisors to come here to rate the app and give a 5 star rating to help bring in clients. This whole platform and all of its sister sites are a joke and a scam. Not to mention they only pay advisors 40% of the profit for every reading. Working for pennies and being treated like garbage. Stay away from them. Trust me. Save your money. You will get sucked in and before you realize it will have spent hundreds of dollars only to find out it's been a lie the whole time... please, please, please. If you want a psychics advising go to someone in person who is reputable. You might think this is cheaper, but it reality you are going to end up paying much more! And getting nothing out of it.

Nice idea but I've encountered more scammers than legitimate clients offering legitimate work. And some of the job offers seem shady and perhaps even illegal. I've had very few actual legit freelance jobs on upwork. You can flag them but they keep popping up everywhere. Seems like there should be a better vetting process for clients looking for freelancers. I recently had a client who refused to pay me after I had completed the job and left me a false negative review. After filing a dispute there was not much I could do. A lot of wasted time and keep getting scammed.
