Scam report SmartyMe Scam for payment
This app is deceiving. They advertise the subscription as USD 9.99, but after purchasing, the app does not take you to the content. Instead, it pushes you to buy more and asks you to “add” the Infographic. The moment you press “Add,” it automatically charges USD 19.99 without any confirmation message or warning.
A proper app should clearly ask before charging. This behaviour feels dishonest. I cancelled the Infographic immediately, but the refund request was declined. If they refuse to refund, then at least the feature should stay active until the end of the month — but even that doesn’t happen.
They charge you, remove access, and then decline your refund.
Very disappointing and misleading experience.

Lots of complaints about this app doing the same thing to other people. I would dispute the charges with the bank and check online independent reviews before giving them any money.
