App is a scam. More money taken out than advertised. Half the meditations dont load even though I paid premium. Ai voice content. Its a basic meditation app, nothing psychadelic as they claim.

FRAUDULENT APP
FRAUDULENT APP: This is just pure fraud... I was charged an extra £40 after signing up for a trial only. Luckily I spotted it on my bank statement and disputed it. I did get a refund after a week, but now 3 months later they have charged me another £50 for another 3 months subscription, after I noted that I did NOT sign up for recurring subscription to start with. I have raised another complaint and asked for another refund. I managed to log in through some link in an email and have now cancelled my subscription. I will keep an eye out for sure..
This is just so unethical I cannot even believe it. My lesson learned: ALWAYS check TrustPilot first, and NEVER sign up through Instagram links, only through Apple Store as you can then cancel your subscription easier. Otherwise you details are stored on convoluted logins etc.
Just ridiculous that people have so low ethics and such high level of greed!

Avoid the SLowdive app

Avoid like the plague
Avoid like the plague, for an app that is supposed to reduce stress and anxiety it has created a total distrust. They rinsed my account without my consent, their bots online, customer service is scandalous. AI generated responses and a rigmarole to try get refunded. Such a pity that scamming seems more attractive than providing a service. Luckily I checked my bank and stopped any further payments.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, and we completely understand your frustration and confusion. Please know that unauthorized subscriptions should never happen, and we want to investigate this immediately to ensure clarity and fairness.
It’s possible that the subscription was linked to an accidental click or authorization through an ad or promotional offer.

However, this should only occur if confirmed by the user, and we sincerely apologize if this wasn’t clear or if it happened without your consent.
We strongly encourage you to reach out to us via the in-app/web chat or at support@slowdive.app with any details about the charges so we can investigate thoroughly. If a subscription was created without your knowledge, we’ll work to resolve this as quickly as possible and provide a refund if applicable.

Fraudulent app
Fraudulent app! I am getting very anxious about this app! I thought this was legit. I purchased a trial, I have now paid over $120 instead of $25. This is a scam. I've gotten so many emails from them. I've reached out to the social media team, I still have not been contacted. Plus the account I created doesn't even have the subscription that I paid for. I've been told support will reach out to me, I haven't heard back. I went on Instagram, apparently this is the experience of many people.

If I could do negative stars I would. I kept seeing the add with the good music that calmed my mind. Decided to try it. What a joke. It's all BS and the app hasn't worked since I paid for it. The chat help is a joke. It's prefilled so you can't type what you need to into the box and when you can actually type a question on the desk top site they stop answering you. It's all a scam.

Shame they don't do minus numbers
Shame they don't do minus numbers, I thought I'd sign up for one week, to see how I got on before committing. I purposefully skip past the offers on Lucid Dreams and Holotropic training, declining the option to spend 2 x $19.99. I then check my subscription to cancel it, and see that they've charged me 4 x $19.99 for the same two training sessions. It's disgusting and stressful and I am awaiting a receipt through a website that doesn't even provide a refund policy on it.

Beware of free 12 week trial!!!!!
The fact your subscriptions does not show up in subscriptions is not nice or fair, and then try to charge for furthering subscriptions without permission.
Even in your support it’s says to go to settings open subscriptions and cancel!
Which is false!!!!
And couldn’t cancel my subscription and you have tried to charge me unwillingly !!!
Only when I went though your bot was I able to cancel, which is not per your instructions!
I’m sure this is not fair and is deceiving to your customers!!
A good product builds trust and your process to cancel subscription is difficult and untrustworthy!

I did not even prescribe to this app and they took a whole bunch of money out of my pay-pal - 3 payments in all 3 different transactions and I have tried to get a refund from this Paddle company they use to take payments for them. I did get 1 refund of $45.00 but they still owe me for $ 84.75 and $28.24 and of course I am not getting any type of help in this refund..even with a photo of these transactions from my pay-pal. It's very fraudulent indeed to get nowhere over and over again. It's shameful to let these companies operate and scam the public like this. I had to change my PP password and go in and put a stop on any future transactions.

Scam!
Scam!
They advertised a monthly price of £14 with a 14 day trial period but it added extra subscriptions totalling £110 without my knowledge or consent. I’ve requested a refund for all of it as I did not appreciate being deceived. I only received £14 refund, still waiting to hear about the £110 that they stole from me. I’ve been trying since October.
UPDATE: 06/01/25
Slowdive’s reply here, instructing us to get in touch with them is false. The only way of getting in touch with them is through layers of communications with bots, none of it leading anywhere - none of my messages and emails have been seen or replied by a human.
