Great service, high value, helped me out of a jam!
Doing business (although it was a free trial) was easy, simple and clear. Thanks!
The chat feature worked well, the service time was reasonable. The quality of work was good, but not perfect. There were some grammatical things that weren't perfect in the translation of the captioning. Not too many and nothing major, but enough to hold me back from giving a perfect rating. I would use again, though. Read more
