Here's what Spond users tell us about their experience:

Payment Delays

Spond holds funds for 10+ days before releasing to your account. Frustrating for cash flow.

"They hold money for over 10 days... very frustrating."

AI-Only Support

No phone support. Getting help from a real person takes hours or days.

"Waiting 6 hours for a real person to ring me... the bot's advice was less than useless."

Reliability Issues

Users report the app being unreliable, confusing to set up, and slow to resolve issues.

"Unreliable. Support is indifferent and getting anything rectified takes aggggges."

Generic Solution

Designed for any group activity, not specifically sports. Some features feel generic.

"It's a blanket solution for sports so some specific requirements are a bit generic."
