TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of WeTransfer: Transfer Files's key feedback

1

High Pricing

Many users find the pricing of WeTransfer's services to be excessively high, especially when compared to other subscription services like Hulu or Netflix. Approximately 15% of users express dissatisfaction with the cost, feeling that the value does not match the price. This perception of greediness is a significant deterrent for potential subscribers.

The app charges as much as Hulu and Netflix, which is unreasonable for a file-sharing service.

2

Technical Glitches

A notable portion of users, around 10%, report experiencing technical issues such as app crashes, freezing during uploads, and problems with restoring purchases. These glitches hinder the user experience and lead to frustration, especially for those who rely on the app for professional use.

The app often freezes at the last step of uploading, making it unreliable for consistent use.

3

Subscription Confusion

Users are confused and frustrated by the subscription model, with some feeling misled into subscribing or being charged unexpectedly. Approximately 8% of users mention issues with understanding the subscription terms or being charged without clear consent.

I was charged $288 after canceling the free trial, which was unexpected and frustrating.

4

File Management Limitations

Some users, about 5%, express dissatisfaction with the app's file management capabilities, such as the inability to label files or the inconvenience of manually selecting files for download. These limitations make the app less user-friendly for managing large volumes of files.

The app doesn't allow labeling files, which is inconvenient when sending multiple items.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

This app will hog up space on your devices, glitch out and not let you access the files you’ve 'downloaded,' and demand $9.99 a week to do so. Waste of time, money, energy, oh and their support is absolutely useless too!

WeTransfer is a nightmare of an app. Every time I use it, the upload races to the end and then freezes at the very last step—no matter what internet connection I’m on. I’ve been dealing with this for over 2 years, and they still can’t get it right.

Pretty sad to say that WeTransfer is getting greedy. They used to have a great paid plan that offered everything you need at a fair, affordable price. Now, you pay a similar price, and only get to send 10 transfers a month, or you pay more than double and get what you had before.
