This is an opinion on if it's a good idea to invest as if there would be developed for AdCreative.ai. I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE WILL BE, based on my experience with AdYouNeed, Their last product was just released just in time for most people's refund option to expire.

I bet regularly on AppSumo offerings. Many have turned out to be duds. But I knew the risks involved with them, and I never felt like I've been cheated. Until now.

AppSumo regulars may have seen AdYouNeed. Purported to be an all-in-one AI-driven PPC Automation solution. (sound familiar?)
I first purchased a small deal, then spoke with the CEO of the company, discussing their direction and speed of development. After receiving lots of promising messages, I bought in big. I stacked all the codes, setting me back hundreds. Then I see this product.

In my opinion, and based on the email exchanges with the CEO / Founder, I would have expected this to be a FEATURE added to AdYouNeed. It's not, and fine.

What bothers me, is that there was virtually NO development work on AdYouNeed since they released it. They didn't even try to hide that fact. The roadmap was left untouched for 3 months, which was the time since AdYouNeed was up, and this product was released.

This means, that instead of devoting their resources to improve the product that people already invested in, instead of working on the roadmap they feature so prominently on the top of their backend for when people purchased, Instead of making good on promises or at least inferences that the product would be improved upon as a priority - THEY INSTEAD DEVOTED THEIR RESOURCES ON A NEW PRODUCT - that really should be a FEATURE of the last product

if this isn't a cash grab I don't know what is, and I do not feel the company is representing its roadmap in good faith. I do not feel they are interested in creating solid products that are competitive with their listed alternative competitors. If this is the case with the company's last product, why would one expect development on adcreative.ai?

I'm writing this long after writing their CEO - but I got nothing but the same promises. What's next guys? A new product that connects the two products that we need to buy to have them work together?

This situation has not only turned me off from this company but from AppSumo as well for not only hosting a company with what I feel are very questionable business practices but promoting them as "AppSumo Select", I believe I will end my purchases on here, and I've been a loyal customer for years.

This is the only company that has left me feeling this way on AppSumo - and there have been some bombs... All I expect is good intentions.

AppSumo, as a loyal customer, I expect you to vet your "select" products - A label I believed in - to protect your loyal customers from cash grabs on products that will not be developed further, and disingenuous companies that have no intent to do so.
