I bought the Access Pass plan and used it for 8 months then got my account disabled for no reason, when I messaged all their platforms they blocked me! I have proof on Twitter and on the web! in many 1 star reviews on the platform i found them all to be correct, the support team arbitrarily locked the user account and CANNOT PROVIDE EVIDENCE WHY THEY BLOCKED THE CUSTOMER ACCOUNT so they block the customer!

I paid for an Elite yearly subscription costing $368 and was blocked by the platform on the 6th month before the subscription expired. I tried to reach them for a month through various channels - their chatbot, direct email, and even attempted to contact the founder via LinkedIn - but I received no response from any of these channels. Upon researching more information on the internet, I discovered their dubious operations. They seem to be stealing assets from designers to host on their platform without providing any incentives. Additionally, some assets are from the Creative Commons section of free websites. This is truly embarrassing. Therefore, I urge you to stop supporting this digital thievery. Instead, I recommend supporting element.envato.com, which offers many of the same assets at a more affordable price. Lastly, to the Ui8 team, you should dedicate your time to sincerely responding and apologizing to your users rather than publicly justifying your actions to those who have given you a one-star rating.

We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience and the resulting misunderstandings. However, several inaccuracies in your review need to be addressed to ensure a correct understanding of UI8's operations. First, we never block customers from our platform mid-subscription without a legitimate reason. There could be instances of technical issues or policy violations that may lead to account disruptions. But rest assured, we always work diligently to resolve these situations promptly and efficiently. We regret if you felt our support was unresponsive. According to our records, we haven't received any communications from you regarding this issue via chatbot, direct email, or LinkedIn. Our support team works tirelessly to assist our customers, and we are currently investigating why you might have experienced this lapse in communication. This is not in line with our usual practices, and we assure you we will rectify it. As for the accusations of "stealing assets," it's essential to clarify that this statement is entirely false and misleading. All assets on our platform are provided by professional designers who willingly contribute to our platform, and they are duly compensated for their contributions. We have stringent measures in place to ensure all assets on UI8 are compliant with legal and intellectual property rights. Some of our assets might also be available in Creative Commons sections elsewhere; this is because the creators have opted to distribute their work in multiple places. This is entirely within their rights and doesn't undermine the legality or quality of the resources on our platform. The pricing of our subscription is established, taking into account the need to provide quality assets while also fairly compensating our contributing designers. We believe in balancing affordability with quality and designer compensation. Lastly, we must stress that false and defamatory statements can potentially lead to legal consequences. We're here to address concerns, clarify misconceptions, and improve our platform based on constructive feedback. We're not interested in justifying wrongful accusations but correcting them. We apologize if our service did not meet your expectations and caused you frustration. We encourage you to get in touch directly with our support team ([email protected]) to help resolve your account issue and improve your UI8 experience. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. We appreciate your understanding as we work towards providing the best service possible.
I have purchased the all-access pass twice for a month, about a year apart. The auto-renew is a trap and once you get out you can't download anything you have already licensed. They have some great designers on there but the platform is beyond dodgy. Sometimes you get the wrong files others you it's not in the same format.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that things didn't quite go as expected, and we're here to clarify a few things. The auto-renewal feature is standard for many subscription services and is clearly communicated at the time of purchase. However, we understand how this might come off as a surprise if you didn't notice it initially. You can turn off auto-renewal at any time, giving you full control over your subscription. As for not being able to download after your subscription ends, the nature of our service, like many digital resource platforms, is access-based. This means that active subscriptions enable you to browse, select, and download the resources you need. Once the subscription ends, it's fair and industry-standard that downloading new resources isn't possible. Regarding the issues you've encountered with file format and content, we're sorry for any inconvenience caused. We work closely with our contributing designers to ensure that the files they provide are accurate and in the most useful formats. However, occasional mistakes can happen. In such cases, we encourage you to contact our support team right away, and we'll do everything we can to rectify the situation quickly. We are continuously working to improve our platform, and your feedback helps us make the necessary adjustments to serve you better. Rest assured, we're committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and user experience. We value your support and hope that we'll have the opportunity to provide you with a more positive experience in the future. Please reach out to our support team if you need any further assistance or clarification.
Alike all the other comments. It is difficult to find the unsubscribe button and its not very clear that it will just automatically charge your card. You can remove your payment method and apparently, there is a button on the your purchases page although I did not see it when I was looking to cancel. Just a tip, that the cancel button makes sense to be on the plans page - funny that they didn't think of that being a UI designing company. Also, big tip - THERE ARE NO REFUNDS. Although, the customer service rep did answer all my questions within a day.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you faced while trying to cancel your subscription, and we appreciate your feedback. The cancellation process is designed to be user-friendly and accessible. However, we understand from your comments that we may need to review this to make it clearer and more intuitive. As a UI design company, we completely agree that user interface and experience are crucial. Your suggestion to place the cancel button on the plans page is excellent, and we'll definitely consider it for our future updates. As for the auto-renewal and no-refund policy, we strive to communicate these terms clearly at the point of purchase. But we're sorry if this wasn't as clear as it should have been. We'll take your feedback onboard and make sure these terms are presented more prominently. We're glad to hear our customer service rep was able to assist you in a timely manner. We believe in providing quick and helpful support to all our customers. Your experience and feedback are truly valuable in helping us improve our platform and services. We hope that despite these issues, you've found some value in our design resources, and we'd be delighted to have another chance to serve you better in the future.
It's a real shame these guys practice dark UX - especially as they mainly service the digital design industry - who are well aware of what these practices are. I say shame because their content is very good - but shame that I won't be using them anymore and advise my designer friends to also stay away. I'll be the first to say that I did not spot their dark UX practice of not clearly disclosing the auto-renew on their All Access Pass and was overseas when the auto-renew actually occurred therefore missed the opportunity to cancel it. I definitely didn't opt-in to any auto-renew and don't recall seeing any on the payment page when I purchased this pass - but boy am I paying for it now! I've now been charged twice for something I only needed for a short period of time. Watch out for this trick - it's as shifty as the ones you get via phone from Nigeria!

I wanted to write a review for this place for a long time. But I didn’t get around to it, I will divide my review into 2 parts, one for potential buyers, the other for potential authors interested in selling their assets. For buyers 1. The owners of this site claim curatorship, etc., but in fact, there is simply no verification of the design of assets, one thing can be written in the presentation for the products, but after the purchase you get a completely different one. 2. God forbid you run into their support (if she answers you and gives you a shadow ban in their online chat) in which there are only boors who do not observe banal subordination. 3. They have a "limited offer" like "ONLY ONCE" in fact every time they offer to buy lifetime access to the author's products, from the experience of various buyers, this is a trick for people who are engaged in the so-called drains of products from their site, from -why buyers of this option get account bans without explanation and your money is simply lost. For potential authors: 1. Guys, if you are interested in selling your assets here, then be prepared for the fact that your products will be distributed almost for free due to the full access system. And this means that your resources will be on various pirate forums or telegram channels. 2. If you want to reduce the commission due to "exclusivity" on this site, be prepared for the fact that you can be merged as soon as you are no longer needed by the owners, without the right to appeal or notify you, you will simply be banned without explanation. The result is this: my experience cannot be the last truth, but I expressed my opinion about this site, and it's up to you to work with them. But I do my best to protect from this place.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and share your thoughts. However, I believe there may have been some miscommunication or misunderstandings, as the experiences you've described do not accurately reflect the core values and operational practices of UI8. Allow me to address your concerns point by point. For buyers: UI8 takes its curatorship and quality assurance process very seriously. Each asset undergoes a thorough review by our team of design experts before it is made available on the platform. We believe in providing high-quality, accurate product descriptions to ensure that our customers receive what they expect. If you have encountered any discrepancies, we urge you to contact our support team, and we will gladly investigate and resolve the issue. Our support team is dedicated to providing professional and courteous assistance. We apologize if you've had an unpleasant experience with our chat support. We are constantly working to improve our customer service, and we encourage you to share any specific instances or issues you encountered to help us make the necessary improvements. Our "limited offers" are periodically introduced to provide added value to our customers. We stand by the legitimacy of these offers and ensure that they are clearly communicated. If you have any concerns about the terms and conditions of these offers, please reach out to our support team, and we will be happy to clarify. For potential authors: UI8 values the hard work and creativity of our authors. We employ various security measures to minimize the unauthorized distribution of assets. While piracy is an unfortunate reality on the internet, we continuously strive to protect the rights of our authors and maintain the value of their work. We are committed to maintaining transparent relationships with our authors. If an author chooses to have their work exclusively hosted on UI8, we honor that agreement and do not terminate it without reason. Any actions taken are in line with our terms and conditions and are based on a fair assessment of the situation. In conclusion, we understand that individual experiences may vary, but we strive to uphold the highest standards of quality and professionalism at UI8. We encourage anyone with concerns or questions to contact our support team. We are always here to help and are committed to ensuring a positive experience for both our buyers and authors.
Very bad customer service. My card got auto-renewed without notice. I wrote 3 emails to the support to issue the refund. There is no reply from them at all.

We apologize for any confusion or frustration you've experienced with our customer service. At UI8, we strive to provide transparent and effective support to all our customers. Regarding auto-renewals, our system is designed to send notifications before they take place, as we understand the importance of keeping our customers informed. If you did not receive a notification, we sincerely apologize for any oversight, and we will investigate to ensure that our notification process is functioning correctly. As for refunds, our policy, which is clearly stated on our website, indicates that we do not offer refunds on any purchases, including subscriptions. This policy is in place due to the nature of the digital assets and services we provide. We understand that this might not align with every customer's expectations, but it is essential for maintaining the integrity of our platform and ensuring fairness to our authors. If you have any further concerns or questions about our policies or your specific situation, please feel free to reach out to us again. We're always here to help and provide clarification where needed. We appreciate your understanding and value your feedback as we continue to improve our services at UI8.
Same as a few others complaints..... auto renewal not clear when you purchase a 3 month all access pass. There is a tiny remember my payment details checkbox that you can hardly notice (not a bad design idea and UX to scam you into paying twice). Support non existent when trying to resolve issue.
