FreemakeReviews 110

Be very careful if you download Freemake Video. It is advertised as free but it is not. They will plant a large logo all over the converted video and offer to remove it for a fee. I paid $4.95 to have it removed. They said it was a one week special. Then I got charged WEEKLY. What cheek. I did not agree to this. Problem was I didn't pick it up till they charged me SIX TIMES. What for? I hadn't used it in the interim. I emailed them asking them to refund the overcharge or prove where I agreed to a weekly ongoing charge. Guess what. No refund and no proof that I agreed to pay anything other than a one off $4.95. As I said be very very careful with Freemake anything!.

Only installed the app because it said it was free to convert vid files, not trial version but free over & over again, what a waste of time after hours of converting 5 files I see their watermark is front & center middle of screen with another line describing their wonderful converter so a complete waste of time, all files useless. I would certainly not ever pay a penny for any app that wastes my time like that, & in very misleading fashion.
And they throttle down speed so it takes hours to convert any file just to scam you into buying, don't waste your time or money people

I used freemake for about 7 or 8 years & i thought it was the greatest program i had ever used, i suggested it to everyone because it did EVERYTHING & it was the simplest easiest to use program i knew of... i never had an issue with it, ever... then one day they started nickel & diming... suddenly one day, their name is branded across your video... want it removed? Gotta pay this amount... your video used to take a few hours to convert now it takes over 24 hours? Pay this amount to speed it back up... want to use that feature that you've always used? Now its gonna cost this amount... your dvd used to take an hour to burn? Well now it's going to take more than 24 hours to burn, unless you pay this amount... oh you already paid for all services? Well we're gonna add new features that aren't covered in that so you can pay again... for 7 or 8 years, i rarely ever had to update the program, but now i'm constantly having to DL the new updates to avoid the program crashing but you never know what new changes you're going to get with the updates... it sucks because this is really a great program that is incredibly useful... but the companies new blackmail type of business practice makes it not worth the hassle

They advertise it as absolutely free--but that is only if you like their logo plastered on every single frame of your video. There is no warning about this. After you have spent lots of time cutting out unwanted parts of your video, when you go to look at it is when you discover it. You have to buy the Gold Pack and then start all over. They should be upfront about this on their web page. I feel it is false advertising and definitely not going to make satisfied users. The software is worth the price of the Gold Pack so why not advertise it.
