DO NOT get sucked into anything to do with this company.  They were deceptive in their ads for lifetime membership.  I recieved the welcome packet - and they wanted $336!  I sent it back with a letter telling them I was not interested.  It's 2 years later and now a collection agency is calling me.  It's ridiculous.  I've never recieved products to review.  And still they are after me.  And it all started with this crafty little magazine.  BEWARE!

Garbage purchased by punk thugs with my stolen phone and charged through my Amazon app.

Watch out for the Amazon app on your phone! Larceny and wire fraud.

Notice all the fake "5 star" ratings.  I'll pass this one up for the dishonesty.

Rabbit TV must be pretty crappy, if they have to PAY people to give good reviews.

You might be wondering why all of the 5-star reviews are clumped together within the last month or so. Well, that's when the company started hiring independent contractors (freelancers) off internet sites, and paying them $3 to post a review, already written by THEM. It's an easy way to get your star average to increase. But it is also against the ToS, and it is fraud. My integrity is worth more than a lousy $3. So I decided to post a review for free. I hope "Bill M." enjoys the freebie.

From Bill M.:
Hello,

For this job, we just need you to post a review about our product. We have already written the review, so all you need to do is login and paste our review. This will only take a few minutes. If you have more than one account then we'd love for you to post one on that account as well.

We are willing to offer you a maximum of $3 per review for this job (1 hour at $3/hr). Let me know if you're interested.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Do not buy Rabbit TV. Not here, not at Walgreen's or Walmart. I wouldn't buy Rabbit TV out of a gumball machine, if someone else gave me the quarters to do it.

Rabbit TV is nothing but an elaborate fraud, to separate you from you hard-earned money. If you are strapped enough to be looking for free alternative to paying for television, Rabbit TV is not the answer. It will cost you much more in the long run.

Amazon says my review must contain 20 words about Rabbit TV, so here goes...

Rabbit TV is silver & red w/a white logo on it. Rabbit TV fits into the USB port of your computer.

Absolute ripoff....they auto renew so keep in mind that they will rip you off every month, until you stop them!

Received only one issue for a one-year subscription, and nothing in the following three months.
I contacted the customer service and was told that my subscription was canceled due to a system error.  The refund will appear in one to two billing statements of my credit card (I hope).
What if I didn't catch that error? Are they going to just take the money and do nothing? This is disgusting and dishonest.  Never subscribe any magazine from them again.

Update: never received that refund.

This author has hundreds of books under the name examville, e staff and quick review notes.  He gets most all of his material from the Internet and often cuts and pastes the material from websites without changing anything at all.  He's been scamming people for at least three years as his earliest books seem to be from 2011.  I doubt that there's an actual Examville "staff".  It's probably the same person publishing all of the books who has managed to make thousands of dollars in the last three years from copying websites that people can use for free.  Books like this makes me question the value of buying something off of Amazon.  They really should do a better job of weeding out trash.

They have hidden fees, still seems to be learning how to work things out logistically and operationally.
Had a problem with their promotional emails sending out "free" upgrades that resulted in payments due to faulty links and they admitted they made a mistake but blamed me for not double checking the link and left me responsible for payment.

Poor customer service. Their "we actually don't want your money" statement is false (how else will a company operate).

However, despite their poor service and me questioning the integrity of the company, the service itself works. it's not spectacular but it gets the job done.

Overall, if you're looking for free internet, go for it. If not, and you know you will pay for it, I'd suggest looking into other options.

Had Dish for 2 years. Contract was up, I wanted the NFL package on Direct so I cancelled Dish.  It had been a reasonable service although the customer service I called from time to time left much to be desired.

So Dish tells me they are going to send me boxes with labels to return my 2 receivers and remotes.  OK.  I ask about the Dish on my roof and the rep very clearly stated, "that's yours to keep".  Ok.  I had the Directv guy take it off my roof when he installed the new satellite.  It was about to go in the trash when my boxes came.  Oh yeah, they came a week later but I had only 10 days to return the stuff.  Quality.  It said I need to include this "LNBF" thing.  After 30 or so minutes of a disastrous phone call with the retention rep, who called me a liar and harrassed me endlessly, I got his manager (or so he said) to agree to wave the $100 fee for the LNBF removal.

Here's the problem - these are deliberate and deceiftul techniques designed to squeeze some last bit of cash out of departing customers.  Timelines that can't be followed, blatant lies/misinformation about what needs to be returned, and impracticality for many lay people to disamble a satellite dish they didn't assemble to start with.

Avoid Dish.  I have Direct now, it works great, but I'm well aware I run the same risk if/when I eventually cancel their service.  I'll at least be ready for them when that happens.

I find it interesting that 90% of the five star reviews are from customers who have only ever reviewed this book, and all the low star reviews are from verified purchasers.  Wish I had figured that out before I bought it, as all the low star reviews were right.  Looks to me like a company/authoring soliciting fake five star reviews...

This ebook is not meant for reading or coloring. It's meant to trick you into signing up for a mailing list where content farms and desperate self-published authors hock their mediocre books in the hopes you'll increase their Amazon sale rankings through free purchases and reviews. It's super scammy and an insult to buyers.

As with every other ebook I've reviewed from this publisher, the text was outsourced to a content farm or freelancer who writes an essay-style intro about the topic, similar to what your 4th grader would write for Common Core. They use the exact same text in every one of their coloring books. The art they use is clipart, stock photos, and pieces they stole from other artists--none of which are ever credited. I've included samples of the coloring cutouts included in this "preview" which show that these are zentangle doodles and not actually Mendhi styles, and they are all obviously taken from multiple sources (I reverse image searched to find them) and is of varying image quality, most of which are VERY low quality.

Since the link to the coloring pages email list is broken, there's no way to tell if the full resolution images are any better quality, but the included images are low quality. While the coloring page link was suspended by the ISP (very telling), the link to the "I Just Read It" book club will in fact sign you up to receive even more discounted, poor-quality books from content farms and desperate authors. That's the goal of these scammy publishers: they create mediocre content to get you to sign up for more mediocre content which they use to sell their mailing list services to mediocre authors or other content farms. The actual content they produce is garbage, and it's completely unrelated to the book you found the link in.

***** AS OF THIS WRITING, YOU CANNOT ACTUALLY GET ANY "MENDHI PATTERNS" COLORING PAGES THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF THIS EBOOK *****

DISCLAIMER: As a broke college student, I depend on honest Amazon reviews so I don't waste money on bad products. I want to return the favor by being honest in my own reviews, even if I have received an item at a discount. I only purchase and review items I plan to actually use. Please note that this product was provided with a promotional discount in exchange for a review. Neither the seller nor the discount affected my opinion of the item.

I ordered this magazine as a gift for my godson and followed the directions on the website telling me I'd be given the opportunity to give gift directions on the next screen. Suddenly I was told that the order was "placed" and it is being sent to my house. I IMMEDIATELY tried to cancel the subscription, using "need to change address" as my reason, and was told (mind you this was one minute later) that the subscription could not be cancelled. I've never had this experience with any other company than Hearst Magazines. BEWARE!!!!

I would not recommend this service.
I intend to cancel after. the trial subscription. I generally read nonfiction. This is not for me.

I love the content of the magazines.  They are high-quality and engaging.  However, I cannot recommend the subscription without a warning--you have to pay attention to the automatic renewal.  I received an email notifying me of automatic renewal, and called the company to say I did not want the renewal, and to close the account.  I then received a second email notifying me of automatic renewal, and I called the company again to say I did not want the renewal, and to close the account.  Then I received a third email notifying me that my new subscription HAD SHIPPED.  I called a third time, and found out there was no record of my previous calls, and clearly the account hadn't been closed.  So if you do subscribe, just keep a close eye on the emails you are getting, and get confirmation numbers and names when you call customer service.  It was a letdown that a product I really loved had such frustrating (tricky, almost) customer service practices.

I was misled and thought their download was a trial period.  I instant messaged someone from the company and they said they could fix a problem i was having.  Then I got a phone call wanting me to pay for the service.  I asked them why would you have a download site looking like a trial period and then charge? No reasonable response.  I unfortunately downloaded on the website only to find trojan horses and Pup Gen viruses on my computer so i guess they do business by robbing people of their bank accounts.  DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THESE SCAM ARTISTS!!!!!!!!  They need to be put out of business immediately.

Watch out for the constant subscriptions, you have to discontinue from their ad.
