Real Customer Experiences

  1. The few problems I’ve had and ended up needing more assistance than I could offer (lol), I’ve gotten on Apple Support with no problems at all. When initially getting on and choosing an option of how I wanted to contact Apple Support, I choose the one that best suits me; I always click on the option of having a real person call me back. & you know, I always got a call back within just a couple of minutes!! The people that have called and helped me through my issues, whether it be simple or very technical for me, someone from Apple has gotten the job done in assisting me and was always very nice about the whole ordeal as well!! So thank you to the men and women at Apple for all of your help, until my next tech endeavor.
  2. Wow I had quick service and the issue was resolved within minutes. Without my consent…one of the apps, I downloaded withdrew around $40 out of my account. I immediately ran to apple support (being my first time and won’t be the last), and my advisor was extremely sweet, credible, and patient. Unfortunately, my connection lost without me thanking him..but in my apple details, it says my money has been refunded and I will definitely be waiting to see my money BACK into my account.
  3. To review the APP ITSELF (and NOT the person at the other end), I’ve found it to work very well and makes contacting support really easy. As it already knows your devices, there’s none of the usual identification of you and the device before the problem can be addressed. Obviously, depending on your problem, what happens when you’ve connected will vary tremendously! So, ignore the reviews of people that didn’t get what they wanted immediately. The APP ITSELF is GREAT, and is a big help in getting support!
