This is a transcript from Ribbon's customer service
This is a transcript from Ribbon's customer service. I had no idea about the recurring monthly charge until I tried to find the app on my phone. Apparently they removed it from my phone. According to my PayPal account, they billed me on Feb. 19th, 2026 after their SCAM was no loger available. Company logo

I would recommend Ribbon Check up to anyone. It keeps you in the know, which is the first step to help yourself avoid a health issue escalating. I always like to stay in front of health issues. You are your most important advocate!

Very unhappy!
Did not say anywhere about reoccurring charges. I only used the kit once from when I purchased and now cannot use it at all along with being charged 2 more times after purchasing. I would like a refund due to the situation and not being informed at all about it being discontinued or the subscription charges for something I cannot use

DO NOT BUY THIS (especially if you are in the US)!
I was NOT aware that I was also signing up for a 19.99 a month subscription and just now noticed it. This is highly unethical! I am going to dispute the charges if they don't give me an immediate refund. Now I'm finding out that the product can't even be used in the US? Why, if recent regulation changes happened, did Ribbon not email us current customers and let us know this? Also, why would they proceed to charge us the 19.99 that we didn't even know we signed up for, after knowing full and well they were no longer going to be able to function here. Totally unacceptable.
Editing my review to give one star back as I went on their website, clicked to chat with someone, and within 15 minutes they said they will refund both the 19.99 and 55.29 I had paid. Will update further if the refunds don't end up processing (have had that happen before with a different product).

At this time, Ribbon Checkup has discontinued the sale, distribution, and marketing of the Ribbon Checkup At-Home Kit within the United States. As part of this transition, our software and web application are no longer supported or accessible in the U.S., which is why you are seeing the “This action is not supported” error message when attempting to use the kit.
We completely understand how disappointing it is to receive a kit and then discover that the app is unavailable, and we truly apologize for the inconvenience and confusion this has caused. This was not the experience we intended for our customers.

This is a total scam
This is a total scam. You sign up, seems legit and now their website is down saying they don't do business in the US. I found out how to cancel on this site, but no where else. I will dispute my charge, as I did not know it was a regular charge. It also says all my tests are unusable now (since I canceled today). I only used 3 or 4 tests. Total rip off.

Purchased the test kit in December. I have used it once. Did not know about the continual monthly $19 fee subsription. I was charged again today and when trying to find out how to cancel, discovered that they can no longer operate in the US to sell or offer the app to use the test stripes or offer results. So we all have purchased a useless kit and still being charged a monthly fee. Did manage to find original order email with link to support and requested to cancel subscription, which they have.
