Don't do it! Signed up with Kicksta and was extremely disappointed. Standard email responses about instagram issues but no action plan and 0 growth in over a month.

I think it's a scam. They only liked pics on my behalf for a week or so. After I wrote support this is the message I received: "We're currently calibrating your account due to Instagram's recent algorithm updates. While no liking is being done currently, that doesn't mean there's no action being taken on your account. In fact, the system is still viewing profiles and posts to better mimic human behavior. Once this process is complete, the system will gradually ramp back up the engagement to its maximum amount." Five days later no likes on my behalf and 46$ wasted because I had to cancel!! I could have gone to a nice restaurant and spend an hour myself to like pictures a few days, instead!!

HI have subscribed last 2 weeks ago. I have decided to cancel my plan and asked for the 14 free trial refund. This is not true. When you asked for the refund, they stop answer to your emails. Be careful because you will not be refunded !

I contacted Kicksta couple of times as there was no activity on my account. The only likes I am getting is because of my own connections. Every time I contacted Kicksta they responded by saying that my account is put on a sleep mode to mimic original activity. It turns out that my account is on sleep mode for a week now and this is happening for the 4th time in last two months. I am writing this review for Kicksta to take responsibility and act consistently. I will be discontinuing the service if there is no action from Kicksta.

VERY ANGRY!! I am trialling the service on behalf of a business client. I signed up yesterday, entered payment info, linked the account, verified it and set up targets. I have logged in this morning to find the account no longer exists and the dashboard is completely empty?! Worse still, the dashboard is now asking me to add an account and take payment info again?! I have sent a support request but got an automated response saying it would 72 hours before this got picked up. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! REPORTING KICKSTA TO THE UK CONSUMER OMBUDSMEN IF THIS ISN'T RESOLVED BY END OF THE DAY.

Absolutely a waste of time, I wasted more time sending emails to notify that the service is not working in a month than the likes I get, I was getting few likes one day then the service stops for a week. After a month, I didn't get any growth from the service.

Hi Ivan, We're sorry to hear that you canceled! Kicksta never gives out passwords or any type of personal information out to anyone. We hope you can come back in the future and try our service, to get the best results we recommend trying it for more than a week. Thanks, Kicksta
I cancelled my subscription after not seeing any benefit to my account (or proof that they were indeed doing what I paid for. Weeks after cancelling they charged my credit card again. I logged into my account to confirm my cancellation. My account is labeled cancelled yet they are still charging me. Steer clear.
