The network card on my computer burned out after a software update. I ordered a new one but didn't know how to install it. This company worked very efficiently. They first gave me instructions and then guided me through each step. Superb, everything works well, the internet is fast, and the subscription price is worth such service.

I recently wrote about this underhanded, sleazy,scam of a company. I was told, (after i made a complaint) about the charges they quickly took from my bank account, that my money will be refunded. This was back in November of 2023. To this day I have not received the $69 that they say was refunded to me. GD liars, they even had the gaul to post that it was refunded. Here is the message I screen captured….Ps: I well even call out Sony Ps for having a company like this represent them, absolutely disgraceful

Needed to replace the keyboard on my laptop. I was going to take it to a repair shop but decided to search for answers online and stumbled upon this company. Turns out, I just accidentally triggered a button hidden in the panel. Very satisfied with how quickly they identified the potential issue, and the keys are working fine now. The repair was done within 2 minutes, which is really cool.

FEELS LIKE A SCAM, AND PROBABLY IS!

Not a good company to do business with.They absolutely overcharge the so called services they offer. Talked to one of the Reps they have answering the phone, spoke like he didn't give a $#*! about how he comes across, and that alone makes it feel like a scam. Had to tell him, don't know how many times, that I wanted a refund, because they use questionable practices in the transactions e.g. not clarifying the amount properly. I was looking from a answer about Sony PlayStation, and for some reason, their site popped up,I was led to believe from Sony that it was a $1 charge, felt like they intercepted that message. STAY AWAY FROM HOWLY.COM

Tip for consumers:
That they respected the business

Thank you for the excellent service and quick resolution of our problem. The computer was pulled into the room for the child, and we had no idea why Wi-Fi couldn't be set up... Contacted Howly support, quickly responded to messages, answered all our questions. They said what to install to make it work. Now everything works! Grateful customers,)))

We bought a computer for our child's studies about six months ago. Everything was fine for a long time, but at some point, the child started complaining that everything was freezing and something strange was opening. Howly advised me on how to fix it and recommended a free antivirus, which quickly solved the problem. Very grateful!

Someone please help me I'm 61 years old I live in a fixed income and I just brok my femur and had to have a total hip replacement I need any and all advice as to what to do here?

Used the service accidentally. Was looking for information on how to get a refund on a Visa card. Unexpectedly, a good service took the task seriously and informed about all the pitfalls and how long to wait. But the main thing that surprised me was that when I contacted them again, they already knew about my past requests and asked how everything went :)

Once I had an unexpected situation - after spilling coffee, the keyboard of my reliable laptop broke down and stopped responding. Moreover, not a single button responded - apparently. And I urgently needed to finish a project. I was so upset. But I came across Howly, and I thought I would ask them for free. And you won't believe it, they told me about the digital keyboard, which already exists and works like a program that can only be controlled by a mouse. I handed over the project, everything is great, and now I was able to take the computer to the service center.

I approached them with my problem and didn't believe they would help me. As I thought, the motherboard in my computer was completely fried. Luckily, I turned to them before taking it to the service. All it took was to roll back to the previous version of the software, and it worked. I express my immense gratitude to the professionals!

I was asked to pay $5 refundable fee, but as soon as I answered I was charged $75. I gave them the card that had only $10 in account, they charged me $5, tried to charge my card for $75 multiple times and did not answer my question. They said I had to wait for a lawyer to answer my question, I waited for 45 minutes, no response.
