They put you in a subscription plan without advertising it then they make it almost impossible to cancel. This kind of practice should be illegal!

Absolute scam
Absolute scam - they start charging a surprise buried monthly charge before I even started using the product. Then they make it incredibly hard to contact them and cancel the subscription. I hope they change their ways or go out of business soon.

I ordered the at home test kit
I ordered the at home test kit. It arrived. I planned to use it today. I purchased a few months ago. They stopped supporting or selling the kit. So my purchase is worthless, the service described and marketed while buying it abandoned and unsupported. I contacted them and they told me in corporate boilerplate we don’t support that kit, we moved to a subscription model. I ever signed up for a subscription. I purchased a one time fee kit for at home use testing and app results if needed. I never used anything, not a penny of their overhead, because they abandoned all support. They charged me $140 in subscription fees I never purchased. I paid via apply pay on my iPhone, yet this purchase subscription does not appear in the subscriptions tab of iPhone, even though its purchase is/was related to an app and digital experience. Before you purchase from these folks, understand:
Reviews for Ribbon Checkup indicate a highly polarizing experience, with numerous customers labeling it a scam due to unauthorized monthly subscription charges ($19.99) and functional failures. While some found the app-based, at-home urine testing convenient, many reported the product is no longer supported in the US, resulting in errors, non-functional kits, and difficult refunds.
Key Takeaways from User Reviews:
Billing Issues: Users reported ongoing, unauthorized monthly charges after purchasing the initial kit, leading to claims of the company being a "scam".
Even if you did get an unsupported kit, expect—-
Technical Failures: Numerous reports of the app and test strips not working, often producing "action not supported" errors.
Customer Support: Reports suggest customer service is difficult to reach or unresponsive to refund requests.
Mixed Results: While some users initially reported successful use and quick results via the app, these are heavily outweighed by negative experiences in early 2026. The company is collapsing and they won’t exist soon.

DO NOT BUY THIS (especially if you are in the US)!
I was NOT aware that I was also signing up for a 19.99 a month subscription and just now noticed it. This is highly unethical! I am going to dispute the charges if they don't give me an immediate refund. Now I'm finding out that the product can't even be used in the US? Why, if recent regulation changes happened, did Ribbon not email us current customers and let us know this? Also, why would they proceed to charge us the 19.99 that we didn't even know we signed up for, after knowing full and well they were no longer going to be able to function here. Totally unacceptable.
Editing my review to give one star back as I went on their website, clicked to chat with someone, and within 15 minutes they said they will refund both the 19.99 and 55.29 I had paid. Will update further if the refunds don't end up processing (have had that happen before with a different product).
