Less bad less good.

This is good. It uses Windows Server 2019. So, the problem is im trialing your VPS and after 5 minutes, it prompted to enter your e-mail. Im already have my e-mail, but it let me pay. And it's so laggy, like 1980s computers.

It's fake don't listen

This is a scam. The free trial turns into 1 second because they want your email address and then want your money for it. This is the worst ever company

Its Crap

The worst thing ever tried it out and wanted my email address connected it back in 2018 and it was fine. Now it keeps on getting worse and worse as the limit for the free trial is pretty crap. I would recommend paying for it.
It needs fixing for the people who are NOT willing to pay like me.
Should have an alternative

I recently re-activated my account because I was looking to use SPSS. I paid for usage until the end of the month but I cannot open the software. I continually get an error that tells me that there is a license for SPSS missing.
I have contacted the costumer service team multiple times through multiple channels (chat on the site, the feedback option on the site as well as an email to the customer service team). I still have not heard back.
I am posting here now in hopes that the customer service team will actually see this message. I need the software, I already paid for it and it is getting quite urgent now.

one of the baddest support I've ever contacted
I bought a 1$ plan VPS for a day, I pay with my visa card after that I thought I will get a confirmation email something like that with to login and stuff;
i contacted the support they reply after 24 H.. what it seems for me a bot reply. and then after fore days of explaining my situation.. the last email is from them letting me know that they will check the transaction and see .. this happened three days ago ... I don't get the service at the end nor reply just wasting 1$ /// i know it is nothing but it's still money
I'm supposed to get the service in less than 24 H without contacting the support ...

No reply from App on Fly ever!

I have been trying to get in touch with App On Fly for the past month as i was interested in becoming a customer but i would like to talk to them first. Their online chat service is NEVER manned. So they say to leave a message. I have left multiple messages - no reply. I sent an email to the support email address - no reply. Nothing at all. I went onto their FB account - no reply. I tweeted them - no reply. I have never encountered such bad business etiquette in all my life. How do they expect to get new customers if there is no one to enquire with. For other businesses out there, i suggest they copy App On Fly's model and then launch their business, as App On Fly is failing miserably.

AppOnFly, cool initiative done bad!

AppOnFly is a real cool initiative, done in a terrible way. Allow me to share my experiences trailing MS Projects using AppOnFly. The idea was I would trail their service for a major company, starting with reviewing a 30 day trail from MS Projects , but everything stopped working after only 2 days.

Positive experiences:
+ Their sign-up process; its quick, it's fast & easy.
+ Dedicated RDP links, that can be downloaded right away

Negative experiences:
- RDP sessions are quite slow (and im using a 100mb connection)
- Signed up on Monday to trail MS Projects for 30 days, and stopped working after 2 days
- They offer a dedicated support chat service, but once opened the chat window on the RDP session is so small you cannot read it and have to constantly scroll to actually read their comments. Reason is they lock-down the chat window, so you can't get it to at least decent readable format. You wonder who is testing their UI, I mean this is just plain silly...
- Once you get to their support team, and you keep scrolling left to right to read their comments, you quickly notice the support reps have no ambition at all to help you. Their support is of absolute terrible quality. I have noticed multiple chats that they do not read my questions, or even consider resolving them. They openly show you they basically don't care.

Summary:
I was unable to continue my trail after only 2 days, as they killed ,my session, ignore your service requests and just force you to pay. Their support team delivers unacceptable quality of work.

My sincere advise to all; do not use their service, it's a waste of your time and their support will drive you crazy.

Its sad, but stay away from AppOnFly and look for alternatives people!

Dear Koen van den Berge,
AppOnFly trial works for 30 days however some business applications are limited by CPU spent time. We decided to limit the applications to prevent misusing of people that are not willing to pay.
Service might be a bit slower in case there are many users simultaneously connected.
For paid users we have separate servers for paid users only to ensure speed and high performance.
Servers are located in central Europe, some customers from distance countries might feel it’s slower. Also depends how fast connection users have.
In case users question is not replied by chat they can always keep a ticket that is replied with technical background.
Regards,
Petra Konecna

Your work will be gone

They give you a warning that your time will be done at 90% which is extremely late but barely manageable, okay. Then when you try to go to the browser to email yourself the files, the browser will throw up that same 90% warning, except the total allocated period for your browser is much smaller than your full login so you have about a 3 minutes to email yourself, at which point because your logging in from another location your email will nag you about security and you won't have enough time to email yourself.

The customer support isn't sympathetic and will strong arm you into buying their product as they hold your work hostage. Do not give in, it's not like you lost a whole lot of work in the small amount of time they give you. The '30 days' advertisement is pure BS. Stay away.

Do not read the 'positive' reviews. They are fake that the company left themselves.

In AppOnFly you have 30 days trial still working however some business applications are limited by CPU time spent in the application. It is prevention from misusing applications. IT IS NOT TRUE that your data disappear, if you have previously saved them it to your profile you can log in any time and save then/download them to your PC. You can reach your data anytime during your 30 day trial. Even after trial expires we still keep data for about 60 days so that users can come back and subscribe €9/month and reach the data.

TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!

TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!! If I could give 0 stars I would.

I was using SPSS. They advertise their 30-day free trial all over their website but kick you off the programs after 30 minutes of the free trial!!! I asked two different people about this in the online chat and they said that "the software provider limits the trial" and that there are limited trials for certain applications. WELL THEN YOU NEED TO SAY THAT ON YOUR WEBSITE! I showed them countless examples of where their website says 30-day free trial for SPSS included, and their only response was, "This is the free trial though." Uh, yeah, it says right in the text that free trials are 30-days and NO WHERE does it say that some programs are limited. I lost all my work because of their MISLEADING communication. I am in marketing and can say that this completely unacceptable marketing and poor customer service will drive away all potential customers - not to mention it's a legal issue to market something as a 30-day free trial when it's not. Save yourself the time and don't use this website.

In AppOnFly you have 30 days trial working for 30 days however some business applications like IBM SPSS are limited by CPU time spent in the application. It is prevention from misusing applications. Can you imagine how it's easy to enter one email address after another and use free trial every month? Also your data (if you have correctly saved it to your profile) you can reach it whenever you need during your 30-dyas trial. You can log in any time and save/download it to your PC. Even after trial expires we still keep the trial data for about 60 days so that users can come back and subscribe €9/month and reach it back.

Microsfot Project via AppOnfly

I use Microsfot Project via AppOnFly.com. I pay form months when I need it. Guality is guite good, but you need to connect via RDP. Paid users are working on servers that are dedicated for paid users. Good enough.

Very fast servers with good prices

Very fast servers with good prices
The pros are you can use a cryptocurrency miner on them if you're a paid user. You can alsso use free softwares or purchase others
The only cons are with the trial period. You can't install Chrome or Firefox extensions... only a short period of connection.

IBM SPSS via Apponfly

I am using statistical software IBM SPSS via AppOnFly and pay monthly. I can quit when I don't needed it and come back at any time. It costs less then somwhere else. I guess they have different servers for paid users, where the performance is higher. Can't complain. I like the service.

Absolute GARBAGE

I downloaded the free trial to see if I liked it and if it would useful in my research analysis. It stated this would be a 30 day trial. After about 30 minutes I was informed my trial was up and everything shut down. Great. I used their website chat to ask about it and was informed this is normal and that if I resigned in I would have another 30 minutes. That is a complete lie. I tried a dozen times and was still told my trial was up. I restarted my computer and tried. Still no. Complete trash. DO NOT USE.

Hi AppOnFly trial account works for 30 days. However to improve performance and stability of servers (many users tends to misuse it) - there are limitations for applications by usage/processor time spent while working with each individual application. We make sure users have enough time to try, before they buy.
Solution for users is not create trials one after another (overwhelm the servers). If user finds the service suitable, they can subscribe and they will be connected to dedicated server for paid users only. Again to improve stability and performance for paid users.
