THIS COMPANY REFUSED TO PAY ME PUNITIVE DAMAGES FOR INVASION OF PRIVACY WITHOUT MY CONSENT, AND AFTER ACCEPTED SERVICE OF MY LAWSUIT. THE CASE LAW IS CLEAR, AND I WANT MY PUNITIVE DAMAGES NOW PER THE CASE LAW, WHERE WEB WATCHERS AGREES TO ' CONCEED' FOR MY VICTIMIZATION OF THIS DANGEROUS SPYWARE, AND STALKING OF MY CHILDREN TO EXPLOIT MY AWARDED ASSETS. CHILD TRAFFICKING!
DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR TRY IT RISK FREE POLICY. I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN GET IT DOWNLOADED ONTO MY CHILDS PHONE AND THEY STILL WOULDN'T REFUND ANYTHING. I CONTACTED THEM IMMEDIATELY --WITHIN HOURS OF PURCHASING-- AND THEY REFUSE TO REFUND. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES
Webwatcher does not work. They falsely advertise that you will be able to use this software without having the jailbreak the phone, which is inaccurate. The link they send to download the software does not work. Customer service will not issue a refund. The "risk free" trial is a lie. This company is a SCAM do not waste your money.
There is no "free trial. I followed the instructions and my security software kept removing it. A tech went through, got it installed as well. As soon as the computer was restarted the security software removed it. I don't like creating the security "exceptions" that creates security vulnerabilities on the machine especially since I wanted to help protect by monitoring a vulnerable person's computer activity. The company fought like hell to keep the money. Beware of dealing with this company and read the fine print. For the most part, if you buy it (a year)and it breaks in half, you get to keep both halves.
Look elsewhere. Webwatcher is very limited in what you can see. They do have a screenshot feature that just takes screenshots at certain intervals on child's phone however these are also limited and they want you to buy more when the allotment you get with your license runs out...and these run out fast...especially the more your kid is on the phone. Does not watch snap chat properly, only shows you who they are talking to, doesn't show you what they are sending, receiving, or even what they are chatting about. Oh and their 7 day "risk free" offer is a scam. Once you hit that pay button, you are stuck with them. They only offer a refund if the app "doesn't work as intended". Not if... Read More
I wish I would have read these reviews before I purchased. Bought and installed the product. It worked for 1 day. Then it stopped working. I contacted Customer Support and they re-issued my license and had me uninstall and re-install. I did that and it didn't work. I did that twice and it didn't work. When I purchased they offered a 7 day trial. At 6 days (after it only working for 1 single day) I reached out to customer support (again) and filed a case for a refund. I actually ended up filling 2 cases. They told me they would issue me a refund. A week later when I did not see any refund on my credit card I contacted them and they said that I was not elligible for a refund. WHAT... Read More
Not Trusted! The best decision I made was messaging DARINADLER1 on Instagram, eventually got the Spy and Monitoring I wanted..
The site is a total scam. They have a 72 hour refund only policy, despite charging you annually.
They make it EXTREMELY difficult to cancel your account. You can't call, you submit a support ticket; but they will not honor the cancellation and try to talk you into 'fixing the software' which then goes past the 72 hour limit.
You'll eventually need to file a chargeback and get your refund.
This is a scam site that feeds off of people that just don't want the hassle of processing refunds.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY, They are fraud and do not trust the risk free
Do NOT use this app, VERY Dishonest company, they Lie about giving refunds, and refuse to communicate about it.
Hard to sue over $40.00, And they Know that
