Stay away

This is one of those sites that asks for a credit card for trial, does not warn you when trial is over, charges you $199 and when requesting refund says $99 is non-refundable. Horrible predatory business practices.

If I could give zero

If I could give zero, it is zero. I cancelled 3 hours after subscription. Customer support replied after 36 hrs. When asked about refund, they would not respond. Would never recommend this.

I do not recommend this platform at all…

I do not recommend this platform at all and I confirm everything mentioned in the comments.

The platform has many bugs. I've encountered problems several times right before making publications, leading to a rejection due to these bugs and non-compliant templates.
The templates are not updated.
Many features do not work.
If you are not satisfied, no refund will be provided.
The customer service is terrible.

Stay away from this website

Stay away from this website. I made a subscription for a year for 96 USD. Despite their website saying that cancellations within 14 days will be refunded, I cancelled within 2 days due to poor results and they claimed no refund will be issued since I "used" the service. I complained a bit louder and they only refunded 76$. This is predatory behaviour, to be honest.

I asked for my money back

I asked for my money back, but they never replied. Now they have changed their site name to SciSpace. Service is very poor. Without it, I used to have articles published. Thought, it will ease my process, but sadly none of my articles got published after using this product. Do not make a mistake, as I did. They will never return your money. I am shifting to a better reference manager.

I regret every penny I spent on this…

Typeset sounded promising but ultimately lacks basic features even free programs like google docs has (ie can't see edits, make comments, or view older versions of the doc). Even with premium, customer support is laughable. It took two days for me to receive a response and it was a link to something not even relatively similar to my question.

Don't buy, Its a scam, they wont refund.

I was trying to get a template for one of my papers and I thought this is the one on google search. It was working fine with 10 attempts of the same paper for 1000 words as I was trying to use it and then it stopped and I purchased a membership for 3 months $36.00. Guess what My paper is still stuck on 98% wizard even after 10 days of service, its not uploading at all. I called customer service for a refund since it was in 14 days period, but he said it won't get a refund since I have used this service and my paper is still there even I was never able to get my complete paper out of it. don't buy at all.

The worst

The templates and the customer support were full of mistakes. References were not in line with the journal guideline and the answer about it from customer support was "It is you that is wrong." Do not use it.

Formatting and export is utter garbage

Absolutely not worth spending money on. The article exported to docx was such a mess that I had to manually correct almost 50,000 words line by line, sometimes sentence by sentence. The references were not arranged properly. The formatting was awful. I sent the customer service many messages, emails etc, to no avail. They are singularly uninterested in doing anything apart from leech off of their customers.

Don't spend your money on this garbage.

A waste of time and money!

This app is awful! I was truly disappointed, I've spent about 2-3 hours to edit my manuscript in this program and when I downloaded my "edited" article is was a complete mess: spare spaces all over the pages, different fonts in just one sentence!!, images were all located on separate pages, references were all formatted differently and the overall look was very far from editorial policies of the journal, that I chose. I then had to spend lots of time to edit this mess and, eventually, realized that it would be easier to start from scratch and don't use this bletcherous program. I regretted I paid $20 for it once and yesterday they charged me another $40 for two other months, without prior notice!!! Normally, companies would send a notification letter about money withdrawal a day or two before, which is why I am very angry! I strongly don't recommend to use it, a waste of time and money, don't repeat my mistakes.

Too buggy to be useful

Great idea and almost good execution, however it has too many bugs to actually be useful. The main issue I had was with having figures actually appear where I wanted them, despite having clicked two separate settings to make sure my figures would appear exactly where I put them in the editor, they would still appear in different places in my output. Incredibly frustrating, especially when you can't fix it yourself, and have to wait hours to have a back-and-forth with customer service. You're much better off using Word and having more control over your work.

This service has been a big waste of time. It promises more than it can deliver

The software looks so promising for academic use, but it falls short when you try it. It can only work with one type of citation (author and year at the end of a paragraph), the editor is buggy and can sometimes get stuck on "Saving..." which means you lose all your work. The chat support has been horrible, even after I tried Premium for priority support. They say they will look into it and that I just have to wait, but 24 hours after, still no response. This happened twice! They did, however, return my money for the month I paid, because of this bad experience, but I'm still leaving it at 1/5, as this service can cost you a lot of time (the opposite of what it promises)

EDIT: No, imy issues wasn’t resolved internally, and this reply comes more than two month late...
