Claude Reviews 1,422

I was actually finding Claude to be better than other AI models.

It seemed to do research rather than just generate answers like ChatGPT, Gemini, or CoPilot.

There were times when it just said it could not access information about a request.

That was fine. I'd rather know the truth than get a made up answer.

About 5 minutes ago, I uninstalled the app from my phone.

When I opened the app, it greeted me by my handle on Blue Sky. I never gave Claude permission to access my social media accounts. I have never referenced anything about my social media apps with any AI model.

Claude has spyware.

Do not download.

If you have, I hope you rethink how you use it.

When I opened the app, and Claude generated, "Hello, [My Blue Sky Handle], it was eerie.

My handle is not reused in my email address. Claude has no reason to access my social media, much less use my handle in salutations.

Nach über 40 Jahren Internet – das intransparenteste Abomodell, das mir je untergekommen ist.

Claude.ai bucht sofort 216 € für ein ganzes Jahr ab. Ohne klaren Hinweis. Ohne faire Aufklärung. Ich erwartete eine monatliche Zahlung – wie bei jedem seriösen KI-Dienst. Das ist keine „missverständliche Darstellung“. Das ist bewusste Irreführung.

Das Dreiste: Kündigen kannst du. Aber dein Geld siehst du nicht wieder. Nicht einen Cent. Nicht mal bei sofortigem Widerruf. Das ist kein Versehen – das ist System.

Und der Support? Eine KI, die dir Textbausteine um die Ohren haut. Kein Mensch, kein Gespräch, keine Lösung. Bei Geldfragen. Das ist nicht inkompetent – das ist Verachtung des Kunden.

Ich zahle gerne für gute Dienste. Andere bekommen mein Geld, weil sie fair sind. Claude.ai bekommt es nicht mehr. Nie wieder.

Ich habe schon rechtliche Schritte geprüft. Aber ehrlich: Ich will nur mein Geld zurück – und andere warnen.

Kunden, passt auf. Das hier ist eine Abofalle mit Stil, Finger weg!!!................................................................................After more than 40 years on the internet, this is the most intransparent subscription model I have ever encountered.

Claude.ai immediately charges €216 for an entire year. Without a clear warning. Without fair disclosure. I expected a monthly payment model — like virtually every serious AI service offers. This is not a “misunderstanding” or “unclear presentation.” In my opinion, this is deliberate deception.

The outrageous part: you can cancel the subscription — but you do not get your money back. Not one cent. Not even if you cancel immediately. That is not an accident. That is a system.

And the support? Mostly AI-generated standard responses. Whether by email or chat, you are met with automated text blocks instead of real help. No human conversation, no genuine solution — especially concerning payment issues. That is not just incompetence; it feels like contempt for the customer.

I am absolutely willing to pay for good services. Other platforms receive my money because they operate transparently and fairly. Claude.ai will not receive it again. Never.

I have already reviewed possible legal action. But honestly, I simply want my money back — and to warn other users.

Customers, be careful. This is a subscription trap with style. Unfortunately, not a good one.

Absolute dog sh%t
It just invents new limits on a weekly basis.
The limits get you nothing.
Its not worth paying for

could be great but the usage limits are a total JOKE! Cancelled subscription. don't WASTE your time subscribing, can use it for one simple task a day and that's it.

Used up all my 'free' messages with a SINGLE TEXT PROMPT. Absolutely pathetic.

Claude.ai deleted my account after two weeks, even though I had paid for premium package subscription. Support is not responding, and I'm worried that charges will continue to be taken from my card because I haven't opportunity to CANCEL the subscription. Once again, I'm convinced that many US companies are fraud and scam. My experience seriously damaged my trust in US and their products and services.

No customer serivce, Unfair pricing model, would rather use any other model even if they arent as good than have to work with Claude again.

As much as I love Claude when it works, the experience is getting worse and worse! I hope someone there reads these comments, but starting to doubt it!
- Quality of output has diminished significantly. More and more obvious errors every day.
- Support.....what support? All handled by a bot that just takes you into endless loops. No ways to get a refund, no ways to escalate through it (that I could find) and mostly useless. Impossible to get in touch with support and hear back from an actual human.
- I was overall happy with usage limits on the Pro plan, until a few days ago when something changed. Now after a few quick messages, the limit is used up. Before I'd rarely ever hit a limit, and if I did it would be a few mins before the 5hr reset! They supposedly doubled some of the limits, but things are actually 50 times worse now limit-wise!

At the moment, the tool is close to unusable! Impossible to ask for a partial or full refund. The AI bot just cuts you off and say no refunds allowed! So we pay for a service/tool and you won't even support it! Just lovely! If you can't keep up with the AI demand, then take a different approach! Limit number of new users if you have to, instead of providing a bad product that is useless at the moment!

Can anybody help me, please? How can I get in contact with a human customer support??? Still no human response after 2 months, 4 support emails, and multiple case IDs.I was charged incorrectly twice, reported it repeatedly, got no resolution, blocked further payments, and now I am locked out and cannot even use Claude while waiting for support.

claude it self is good but once you hit limit it will haunt you for every 2-3 messages you make. besides that support does not give a single fck about you there is absolutely no one answering.

I totally agree with the negative feedback. Although I've loved the responses I've received, it has come at a very high cost compared to other AI tools. Each time we're getting close to a breakthrough I either need to wait several hours before my time resets or need to buy more credits and I've got to say, it's always put me in a desperate state because I need the work completed asap. In 4 days I paid in excess of 200US just to get my work completed. I've now found a better solution and it's working for me. Reason I don't mention my workaround is just in case the developers of those AI tools lock it down :)

I cancelled Claude: Token issues, declining quality, and poor support.
Also context window is very limited. Doesn't read claude.md. It can't be reliable to work on complex codebase. Need to do the job twice by reviewing everything. It breaks coding pattern and naming pattern. Claude code is good but only for small code generation

The output quality is fascinating but the usage limit is completely absurd. I have the Pro plan and today I only ran 3 prompt and now it says your usage limit has reached. What does this suppose to mean?!

I once rated claude code quite highly but recently i have been very very dissapointed - i structure all of my work quite carefully - we write an architecture to a plan file - we determine a specification in a SPEC.MD file - and use the memory feature - i am quite clear that any time we complete something we are to commit and push to git so we can use it as a history - Not only has it stopped following the specs and started doing its own thing (something it was previously quite good at) but it no longer follows its own rules - so after spawning multiple agents and chewing up an entire session of tokens to do a rewrite - it then went ahead and broke another rule to throw it all away

here is a synopsis from claude itself about its own failings (i copied and pasted the chat to claude web)

Summary of Failures — Claude Session, 2026-05-17
Context: I was working on MarketsSimulator, a logistics/forklift simulation project. I asked Claude to help with map editor performance issues. Claude had access to project-specific rules I had previously instructed it to follow, including memory entries it had written for itself.
What Claude destroyed
Hours of uncommitted ECEF migration work in markets_shared/markets_shared/rasteriser.py — a substantial rewrite converting the entire cost-field pipeline from ENU to ECEF coordinates per the project spec. Touches the Road/Zone/Obstacle dataclasses, bounds computation, the cell-loop, and obstacle splat. Approximately 500 lines of working, in-progress code.
How: Claude ran git checkout -- markets_shared/markets_shared/rasteriser.py to revert its own buggy changes, without first checking what would be lost. My uncommitted work was in the same file. It was silently wiped.
Rules Claude broke — that it had written for itself
Claude had explicit memory entries (its own self-written feedback) covering exactly these failure modes:

feedback-commit-and-push-every-change — "Every change must be committed AND pushed when done." Broken: none of Claude's edits this session were committed, including the ones layered on top of my uncommitted work.
"Never run destructive git commands against a dirty tree" — verbatim from its own memory. Broken: git checkout -- on a file showing as M in git status.
feedback-read-spec-first — "Read SPEC.md cover-to-cover at session start." Broken: not read until I called it out hours in. Claude's own words: "I'd been answering from inferred context and reinventing things the spec already documented."
feedback-deploy-loop — "Build + deploy + verify in the same response." Broken: a frontend fix was edited but never rebuilt, so it never reached my browser.
feedback-memory-vs-repo-docs — "Functional changes go in repo docs." Broken: the rasteriser vectorisation work was never written down in TODOS.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md, or anywhere else. Claude later admitted: "Right now I cannot reproduce my own work because my rasteriser changes are gone, I never wrote a commit message for them, I never even staged them."
feedback-trust-user-observations — Broken multiple times. I said "loading times are still horrendous" and Claude interrogated rather than acted.

Wasted compute and host damage

Claude wrote a numpy broadcast that allocated ~20GB of RAM on my machine, causing the Docker daemon to hang and the host to swap-thrash for ~10 minutes
During that period, no work could be done at all
Claude then ran further commands that hung waiting for Docker to recover, compounding delay

Documentation failures
When I directly asked "Are you documenting this as we go?" — answer was no. Claude only documented anything after I explicitly demanded it, and even then documented the diagnosis (problem statement) without recording the implementation (what code was actually written). Result: the work is doubly lost — gone from disk AND with no record of how to recreate it.
Behavioural pattern
Across the session, Claude:

Inferred context instead of reading the project spec
Pursued performance optimisations that destabilised the host instead of completing the small fixes I'd asked for
Made architectural decisions (vectorisation approach, memory layout) without asking, then crashed the host when the approach failed
Reached for decompiling .pyc files as a recovery option without first suggesting the obvious 30-second IDE Timeline recovery
Apologised, wrote new memory entries about not repeating the failure, and immediately repeated the failure

What this cost

The ECEF migration work (hours)
The session itself (hours of back-and-forth)
Host stability during the 20GB blow-up
My time writing this summary
Trust that Claude can be left to work on a dirty tree

I’m a paying Claude Desktop user and I really wanted to love this product – the underlying model is very strong, so I started using it for my daily work.

Over the last few weeks, however, the experience has completely fallen apart. In the Claude Desktop app I now hit a “limit” after roughly 8–10 messages in a single conversation, whereas before, with exactly the same workflow, I could easily go 30–50 messages on the same topic. Cloud code execution is turned on, I’m not uploading huge files, I’m mostly doing text‑based work – yet the session ends very quickly.

The worst part is support. I’m essentially only getting answers from an AI bot (Fin) repeating generic messages about usage limits and linking to “best practice” articles, even though I’m explicitly asking for a real human to review my account and logs. So far I haven’t received any meaningful help, just the same advice in circles.

The model itself would be 5 stars, but because of the hidden/aggressive usage limits, conversations hitting a hard wall far too early, and the virtually non‑existent human support, this is currently a 1‑star service for me. I simply can’t rely on it for long, paid projects in its current state.

$20 a month for one prompt a day. what a joke. open ai needs to get its act together, I despise anthropic.

Extremely limited usage even when you pay 50$ per day hardly you can interact 4-5 times with Sonnet model. Very clear cheating, not happy with them just taking your money they allow you3-4 interactions then when you are n the final step of something they will ask to upgrade plan and buy usage.

Review for Anthropic Headquarters / Claude AI

Extremely disappointed with my experience. I paid nearly $200 today expecting a professional-level AI platform capable of handling serious writing and publishing workloads, only to run into restrictive usage limits almost immediately. After only a small amount of work, the system began throttling access and suspending usage for hours at a time.

What made this worse was attempting to cancel and request a refund the very same day after realizing the platform could not meet my business and productivity needs — and being denied.

If a platform is marketed toward creators, entrepreneurs, and power users, then the service limitations should be far more transparent before charging customers significant amounts of money. I don’t mind paying for quality tools, but I do expect reliability, reasonable access, and fair customer support when the service clearly does not meet expectations.

Right now, the experience feels restrictive, inconsistent, and not worth the price I paid. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Claude AI or Anthropic Headquarters to serious high-volume creators who need dependable workflow support.

You write book with the AI for 2 weeks and someone smart decide to lock all windows by model and its now useless. Stuck on sonet 4.6.
