This app makes you watch a ton of ads and spend money to vote for the group of your choice, while promising to award the winning group a promotional ad for support. My group won and instead of using the agreed upon video that was sent for promotion, this app took it upon themselves to alter the video and removed one of the group members. They are promoting the group as a 6 member group when everyone knows there’re 7 members. For the past few weeks, people have spent money voting with the understanding that all 7 members would be promoted! This is false advertisement! You can’t change the video after all the time and money spent on this. Give us all a refund and remove that insulting video!

Honestly I’ve been wanting to write this review for a LONG time. It’s full of low quality ads and the ‘voting’ system is dishonest where paid votes weigh more than normal. It is and has been easy for different fandoms to pay their way to the top. These awards, then, mean nothing if winners are no longer chosen by professional critics and scorers, and just bought by masses of fans. And of course the cherry on top which led me to today: disrespecting winners and participants by intentionally leaving out a member of a group who you have benefited from for so many years is a low blow. We no longer want to support or be part of U-Pick as it is unprofessional and the app itself is horrendous for users, anyway.

This app literally works like a spam website and will crash every 5 seconds and spring pop ups at you like a virus laden website. Let’s not forget the fact that it encourages unsuspecting individuals to divest large sums of money to “vote” for their celebrity picks. This app also has a history of bullying certain celebrities by removing them everything on the app. I hope the App Store will address this app appropriately and make sure it stops it from deleting all these legitimate reviews about what a terrible app it is. I wish I could give it 0 stars.

Upick has consistently manipulated the vote counts of high-stakes competitions (all the global choice upick awards), subtly erasing the point difference between competitors during jams expiration so that they will spend even more money to win in the end. They are completely dishonest and should be audited for fraud. They also exploited fans by adding extra jam buying events (literally 1-2 every day) to pressure them to buy votes to keep up with competition. This is one of the nastiest apps I have ever used and the owners are some money-hungry pigs.
