What a waste of money...
I get that LTDs are always susceptible to go under, but Publbox feels more like a scam than anything else. Glad I only bought 1 code and didn't sink more into this product.
Also glad that I have Socialbee which seems to be going strong and constantly updating.
AppSumo really needs to vet its deal partners much, much better. If they can't prove a certain level of financials, take a hike. This is something you expect to see from a Pitchground or another LTD platform, but AppSumo really should do more to ensure that there is a degree of sustainability and that their partners have positioned themselves to be relatively sustainable, but this wasn't even around for a year and was "down for maintenance for 3 months - oops just kidding that's all folks!"...and without more or less a warning. I reached out to support at the start of the "maintenance" about the outlook of the platform and why the service would need to be taken down for that period of time, as you know, that's what multiple environments are for, and they gave me some BS answer assuring me they'll be back and then not even a PEEP when they closed shop. Had to go back to their site to find out the news when looking for an update.
DISGUSTING.
If I ever find out that the same team behind Publbox is behind another SaaS venture in the future, I will be sure to publicly decree all users to stay away, very far away, from it.
AppSumo really should have done something in response to this, because this is a joke and farce. Not. Even. A. Year. Let alone "lifetime".
