Thieving rats

Thieving rats. If you want to cancel a subscription you have to pay well over £100 just to cancel it. However, after I first subscribed to the free trial and went to cancel, they wouldn’t let me and said i had no active subscription so why am i now being charged every month and when i’ve gone to cancel i’ll be charged for a whole year after being told there was no subscription to cancel. absolutely vile behaviour from this company and they should not be allowed to do what they are doing at all

Ive been using Adobe products since their creation (20 plus years) and Ive never hated them more than how I do today. Terrible customer service and greed subscription set up has left many in the industry seeking alternatives. All of their softwares do not run well with each other, vector now processes ten time slower than it did 15 years ago, and the user interface for all of the programs gets worse and worse with every update.

Please don’t get a trial with this company.

They are appalling. They have taken hundreds of pounds from me and refused to let me cancel, even when they should.

They deceive by saying they’ll give two months free or a lower amount for an extended period. Check Reddit on how to cancel. It’s not easy though.

And they also charged twice as ‘apparently’ I had two subscriptions.

I hope there is a class action against them. They are a terrible thieving company.

Signed up for a free trial and cancelled immediately, email to prove. Adobe have continued to bill me past two months, which is fraud. I've contacted my fraud department at my bank who have continued to block them, however they keep taking money using different 'names' i.e 'Adobe.com or Adobe. Awful company with absolutely no shame, avoid like the plague!! If they keep doing this I will go down the legal route.

This company engages in deceptive and predatory business practices. I signed up for a monthly subscription, which in reality was a "yearly subscription billed monthly." The company then charges an exuberant fee (some percentage of the remaining cost for the year) to try to cancel my subscription. I very much look forward to the inevitable class action lawsuit that Adobe will be facing over these scummy practices. Do not waste your time and money with them.

The time has come to leave Adobe behind

The recent raise of prices is not in a decent proportion, neither is their customer service any helpful, nor their product quality in general. A company of that size and with that kind of financial strength should not have these kind of issues (like not being able to change the country in my Adobe account). Overall I think they are abusing their market position and simply rely on freelancers not being able to replace some of their apps just yet. Once there is a valid alternative to Photoshop, they will loose many if not most of their current customers.

Conartist theifs

Been a subscriber for many years actually since the day CreativeCloud was launched!
Still can't belive the sneaky ways Adobe tries to con money out of people!
Constantly increasing prices but with little to no enhancements I actually want or need, then there is the annual subscription they will send you an email a few months ahead that the service is been renamed and changed then when you forget boom your locked into 12x months of paying heaps more! Or have to pay basically 6x months as a penalty for wanting a break!

Theifs charging so much just because they have a monopoly!

AWFUL

AWFUL. Scam subscription, been charging me every month of a payment of £28.99- not letting me know the price of subscription is going up. In the manage my subscription you have to pay an £80 early leaving fee 🤣 and below it will say are you sure you want to leave your subscription will end on “13th December” I go on today (the 13th December) and it’s now updated saying the same thing but changed to 13th January.- and this has been happening since spring. You can ask the bank to block which they do but they change their name to get the payment out. No choice but to give them an early payment leave fee which is absolutely ridiculous “early fee” I’ve been subscribed since 2024 unfortunately. Will never use again or recommend to anyone.

Changing country is impossible and you lose everything

Change country
Trying to change from an Australian plan/country to the Netherlands. Been online chat with Adobe agent. They cannot get their system to change. Their on line forms all default to Australian country and phone number. So I'd just be paying again with the Australian card. The agent's suggestion is just to wait an hour and try again -- sure, right, ... that won't solve the problem
Oh and they way they do this is to cancel your subscription first.
So now I have nothing and cannot get back in.
Decades of photo edits.

Adobe used to be a Powerhouse

Adobe used to be a Powerhouse, but is now so powerful and extremely not user-friendly, especially when it comes to choosing one of their seemingly infinitely variable plans and cancelling them. There are so many options and combinations of plans to choose from, and each one seems to have a tiered subscription; it's impossible to feel comfortable choosing the "right" one.

Once you have a product, the amount of AI integration and pop-ups slows everything down. Asking to summarize PDFs, share links, and help with editing... it is an assault on the user. The integration of it too, in completely different software platforms, is unneeded; like asking if you'd like to share a PDF as a link in Microsoft Outlook.

Adobe needs a severe cutback on its push to consumers to do things "their way," or else it'll become unusable unless certain buttons are clicked every time I open Adobe. (I know these settings can be managed; however, it should not be forcefully added into a software program, and one option before you start the program, or after installing any Adobe product, or if you want AI or not, should suffice to rid them/keep AI integration.)
