    I had an Adobe Express subscription that I was using to get pictures for my website. All of a sudden, my subscription was changed, and I was offered a $35.99 deal for a $59.99 subscription. At first, I had access to what I really wanted to use, but gradually, it became harder and harder to find. They just want you to create images through AI, which doesn’t understand unless you ask another AI how to describe it. Even then, if you want perfection, after a couple of tries, it completely messes up.

    Today, I finally canceled my subscription—the one that was my initial choice—and was unexpectedly charged $143.96 (I was already paying more than what I originally signed up for). That does nothing good for them. I will never buy anything from companies that don’t communicate with their customers. I couldn’t even find their email support. You and I, and everyone like us, are making these companies what they are. Stay away—maybe then they’ll become a little humble, and come down to a level where they treat their customers with some decency.

    Charged $90 for canceling a subscription. Absolutely ridiculous. Do not sign up for Adobe. It is a rip off with hidden fees. Useless website. Gave zero support and preys on people such as teachers that can not afford these fees.

    Never use their services. They won’t let you cancel. When you do they just tell you they can’t find your account and continue to bill you. Cancelled my debit card but they got my new card number somehow and kept billing me. I’ve been taken for over $100 because they won’t cancel. Waiting for my bank to dispute all charges and Adobe is still trying to charge me after they assured me I wouldn’t be billed again.

    I signed up to use Adobe and then later went to cancel it as I do not need it at the moment. It is charging me $20 a month and now wants me to pay $99.99 to cancel it!!!! They did not clearly indicate when I signed up there would be a cancellation fee, or I would NEVER have used this product. Adobe is a scam and the jankiest company ever! Find a different product.

    A glorified scam. I am forced to use it for my school, and you could not pay me to use this ever again once I graduate. All the programs (besides maybe Photoshop) are horribly designed and will delete your work even if you save it. Will make the simplest of tasks like changing fonts take an extra 40 steps to accomplish. From what I hear this company will also charge you and make it impossible to cancel a subscription. I highly recommend literally anything else than an Adobe product.

    This company no longer has integrity and tried to steal hundreds from me by tricking me. Offered me 29.99 for 3 months, then when I tried to cancel it said I was enrolled in an annual membership which is nonsense and threatened 140 cancellation fee. Will never give them another dime. Fortunately I escaped the fee after threatening to cancel my credit card.

    This company is a scam. I tried their "trial" period. You can't cancel until they charge you. You literally can not access "manage Plan" until they have charged you. So you can't cancel. I had to block all payments and PayPal from them to keep them from getting my money after the trial. I don't want the service so I'm not going to pay these scammers. If I see this come up on my bank statement one more time. I'm contacting a lawyer. I'm sick of these companies that steal our money through micro transactions. Oh and customer support did nothing..

    Terrible company. They never send you a receipt for the services they charge you. They keep charging your card without providing any statement because they know if they show you the receipts for the charges, you are more than likely to cancel it. Their products are garbage, their practice is very shady. Screw this company.

    I encountered a hidden subscription cancellation fee, which felt very sneaky. I had to pay for the remainder of my subscription but couldn’t use it for the full term. Due to this experience, I will never return to Adobe. From the beginning, I learned that their service is unreliable. Additionally, I faced constant errors when I tried to use Adobe on different computers. Disappointing.

    I was not informed with emphasis on text that the subscription was annual and had an early termination fee. Plus trying to change plans still charged me. Very disappointed and lost 100$ to something that didn’t even help me do what I wanted it to do. Adobe has a redacted tool but it doesn’t redact locked documents so watch out for that.

    After literal decades of using Adobe and Photoshop I am at my wit's end. The products constantly crash and break. I am told I needed to buy a new computer (mine was only 4 years old) in order to use the software after years of using it on that device. I upgraded my machine to a brand new top of the line computer and its still constantly crashing, glitching and not working. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS USELESS. The issue always comes back, I get disconnected, they seem ignorant and ask really stupid questions. I don't know what to do.

    I need this tool for work and have lost countless hours of my life and productivity that harms my business. I will NEVER get that time back and have lost so much money due to the absolute disgusting failure of a company that is Adobe. I want a refund for the year and deserve to use the software for free with all the money they have cost me. I am at a loss of what to do to keep a roof over my head being dependent on this trash scam company.

    Adobe drains the resources on my computer and is constantly running all sorts of different things in the background that I don't want to have access to my computer. I'm trying to get help, but their chat sucks and their tech support doesn't know anything. The customer support people in India are very nice, but they didn't try to help me. The tech support guy was recounting my question completely wrong and clearly knew nothing technical. He then put me on hold and came back saying he couldn't find my account, even though it was already verified before they transferred me, and then I asked him to read my email address back to me when he just cut me off and transferred me back to the accounts support. They will not give a direct number for tech support. Their chat feature does not have an option for tech support. They have the WORST customer support.

    What an absolute shame that such a superior product is run by such a terrible business model. They are more interested in running all of the invasive and resource draining background tasks than they are just providing a quality product. I would love a comparable alternative to adobe products without the unwanted invasive resource draining background tasks and terrible support. I've used Adobe Acrobat since the 90's. They aren't what they were then.

    Adobe’s photo editing software is top-notch, but their customer service is absolutely terrible. They give misleading information, and you'll likely end up frustrated and hung up on during calls. Don’t expect resolutions, just excuses. Their agents are unhelpful, unprofessional, and unreliable, and they charge hidden cancellation fees -if you can get around to canceling at all. It’s a shame such a great product is paired with such poor support. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.

    I have used Adobe products since 2002. I had ridiculously sad news given to me by Adobe that had taken all my photos and videos from Creative Cloud and deleted every single one of them without going out of their way to notify me of such a tragic disservice. When I notified Adobe that Creative Cloud was no longer on my computer, they told me that they had deleted everything and had given me notice in February.

    But I got for an excuse that they were moving into a new format or something and notified everyone of this occurrence. However, I had notified Adobe several times prior to them deleting my photos, and not one alert or notification by anyone I spoke to, not even a notification or alert on any of the responding emails of my interactions with Adobe to alert me of this horrendous Injustice after paying for years, and putting my trust and Creative Cloud to hold under safekeeping of their promises to have my assurance that my files were safe with adobe. Although they said they had notified me several times in February to let me know, I never received any email saying that they were going to obliterate all my files from Creative Cloud if I didn't do something, or open my email and respond.

    Now I am left without any files, and backup files have to be reassigned to Premier Pro for all of my video files, and I hope I can do this, but it will take a lengthy amount of time and money to get them all where they are working in synced to be able to create new videos from old files. This is so disconcerting. If there are any suggestions on what to do, I am up for hearing them. I can not believe Adobe did this, with no hesitation or resolution. I have been an online customer for at least 6 years and pay almost $100 a month for this, now, disservice.

    Adobe softwares are top notch, but customer care is not. I signed up for a one month subscription to Illustrator, and noticed that two months of increased charges on my card. When I went to cancel, I was hit with a threat of +$300 in fees. Looking deeper, I noticed I was also charged for an additional license that I never asked for. I tried chat help, and they would only offer me a discount to continue service that I didn't need. They would not waive the shockingly high cancellation fees. Use the service if you'd like, but be cautious about payment and licensing terms - especially if you are a small shop. Customer service will not help you with mystery charges and wild fees. They will, however, ask you to wait a few days for a manager to reach out to you. Buyer beware.
