Great software (I tried it in trial mode), but HORRIBLE payment system. As ripping DVDs is considered borderline illegal, software for doing so is considered in a legal gray area, and as such Paypal (or even credit cards) won't do business with the makers of AnyDVD. So they setup some hacky payment system that redirects you though like 10 different webpages, where the last page in the sequence is the one where you put in your credit or debit card info (in order to hide from credit card companies, where the money is actually going). And it seems that at least my bank caught onto that scheme, because when I clicked the button to submit the payment, the payment never went through. And I didn't get the registered version of the software. I still have, to this day, the expired trial version on my computer.
I wish there was a place in this review UI for me to mark my rating for the payment system, because I would give them a NEGATIVE ONE THOUSAND STARS rating for their payment system. The software is excellent. It's the best DVD decryption software that exists (and as far as I know, the only one that decrypts on-the-fly as a device driver, while accessing a DVD in Windows Explorer), so I gave it full 10 stars in all software-rating categories. However, that is all negated completely by the HORRIBLE payment system (which, at least with my bank, literally doesn't even work), so in overall score I gave it 1 star. I'd have given it 0 stars (or less) if possible though.
For software version I put N/A, because this review is really not about the software at all. It's about the payment system that the company uses. WORST PAYMENT SYSTEM EVER. It literally CAN'T EVEN PERFORM A TRANSACTION, at least with the bank I use. |
