via email, their response time has been very good. I have also followed a LOT of their recommendations and have had some very good results to date, along with the American Stocks. I am looking forward to their NEW website and its updated interface! I have also found the webinars VERY informative as well. Great job team, keep up the good work!

they call despite asking numerous to take me off the call list. It's genuine harassment . Any business that harassess people this much obviously doesn't have the record to attract customers so they have to resort to relentless harassment and high pressure sales tactics to make money. Avoid this business like the plague as they are the lowest of the low.

Superhero not to Wise just to trade on their platform which is AU$50 when you take into putting the money on the platform and taking it off it’s just it should be illegal that they can add such a large fee to withdraw your money

I agree with other reviewers Your frustration is understandable. Based on public reviews and investor discussions, you are definitely not the only… Read more

person complaining about Sharesight customer support.

There are repeated complaints about: • No phone support • Slow or generic email replies • Chat agents not understanding technical portfolio/accounting issues • Support staff giving scripted answers rather than solving the actual problem • Difficulties escalating complex cases

Those themes appear across: • Trustpilot reviews • ProductReview Australia reviews • Reddit discussions in Australian investing forums

What users often describe is more likely: • heavily scripted support, • junior frontline staff, • outsourced or partially outsourced support processes, • and limited authority/escalation for technical problems.

Several reviewers specifically describe agents replying with canned responses that did not address the actual issue. 

One reviewer wrote:

“Customer service is judged by how brief it is.” 

Another said:

“I would love to be able to talk to a real person.” 

So your experience is consistent with a broader pattern

I notified Bell Direct in December 2025 that neither my portfolio nor watch lists were displayed when I logged in. After an unacceptable delay I was… Read more

informed that extensions, vpns, or security software may interfere with the permissions. Thankfully this was an occasional, but catastrophic "hiccup". Since then, I have modified my security software but the problem persists. Increasingly, I have been unable to view either my portfolio or my watchlists, so information needed for selling or buying is not available. Every time I notify Bell Direct I am provided with concern and platitudes. I have been unable to access either portfolio or watchlists since Thursday last week. Today, I learn that account holders with an "international account" all seem to have this problem. Draw your own conclusions.

Overpromise and underdeliver by [Name Removed] from Stock Specialist – [Name Removed] has contacted me several times to sell this Active Service package even I told him I already have normal membership for 5 years. This… Read more

sales consultant or sales director of Stock Specialist has overpromised his Active Service package including quarterly review of porfolio, 5-10 monthly trading opportunities recommended by phone or emails, utilizing their portpolio construction services. None of these are happening. I have contacted him for the refund as I did not receive the services after a couple of months. He then advised me the trading opportunities are delivered directly to the platform dash board. This is exactly the same platform I can see as a normal member. I don't need to pay another $1500 to see the same thing. I have emailed him for the refund a few times but like most of other customers making complain - get nothing back.

If the company director cannot keep his promise and provides mis-leading information, your team, services and products are also not trustworthy. I always believe in Karma. Whatever you took from me in an un-ethical way, you will lose somewhere more.

they wait for you to ring them. If you try to withdraw funds you have to be ready for a huge fight - they absolutely love the interest they earn on your money - it takes months and months. And you can never get through to a more senior person they only take a message and never get back to you. No use complaining - see the above. Worst firm I have ever dealt with.

that felt like a full-time headache. With this broker, I noticed something funny. I started making coffee before opening trades instead of stress-scrolling charts at 2am like a maniac. Sounds st^pid, but that alone says a lot. Simon once told me, “You don’t need to trade every interesting candle you see,” and weirdly, that sentence stuck in my head more than any strategy video I’ve watched. Since then, I’ve been calmer, trading less, and somehow doing better. Didn’t expect that to happen.

actually like that. Everything feels pretty straightforward, which makes it easier to just focus on trading instead of figuring things out all the time. I’ve had a few ups and downs, but that’s normal. What matters is I don’t feel lost here like I did before. It’s just simple, works well, and doesn’t make things harder than they need to be.

Be extremely careful giving Motley Fool Australia your credit card details. They use classic "dark pattern" tactics to trap you into auto-renewals. … Read more

I decided I didn't want to renew my subscription, so I logged into my account to cancel. I spent over 15 minutes clicking through every single bloody menu and account setting looking for a simple "Cancel Membership" button. It doesn't exist. They make it incredibly easy to sign up online with a few clicks, but deliberately remove any online cancellation option, forcing you to email or call them to beg to be let go.

This is a highly unethical business practice designed purely to create friction so people give up and get charged again.

I had to resort to sending a formal legal demand citing Australian Consumer Law and ACCC guidelines on misleading conduct just to force them to stop my auto-renewal. I have also paid for my current term upfront, which is valid until June 23, 2026. I have had to explicitly warn them in writing not to illegally cut off my access early just because I refused their auto-renewal trap.

If a digital financial company cannot provide a transparent digital exit button in 2026, they do not deserve your business. Completely dodgy and unethical.

system, however... They send me a regular email that says "DRO is 83.9% OVERVALUED"; the link in their email shows a rather different story! ... * Trading at 82.3% below our estimate of its fair value. * Earnings are forecast to grow 52.62% per year. * Earnings grew by 612.7% over the past year. I sent them a query some weeks ago but got no response. Some might think that an anomaly like this, lowers the trustworthiness of everything they report.
