Brave is buggy and support is not helpful

I was using brave for almost a year, during that time I lost BAT at least 3 times.

On last time that I lost BAT I decided to open a topic here in this forum, I opened it on April 14th.
I gave all the requested information and nothing was solved and the topic set as unlisted.

I know software has bugs, but brave has a lot, and when those bugs occur brave support is not helpful.

People get their topics ignored, unlisted or closed. When they are lucky they receive a reply with “send me the details by DM” and then that DM gets ignored.

I think the idea behind brave is nice but not that well executed.

I agree. My support experience has definitely been less-than-satisfactory. I lost a bit over 20 USD in BAT recently and it sucks that posting to the forums is the only way to get support. No phone number or email address that I can find and their actual support website only has FAQ and such and will direct you to the forums.

I’ve sent a DM got a reply asking for screenshot then I came back to it a week later and the message doesn’t exist anymore…

@steeven sure I know how it is with working in a “small team” as I’ve worked for a £70m annual revenue e-commerce business as a sole developer for like 1.5 year

I had 45 BAT on my MacBook with El Capitan. I jotted-down my pass phrase and then install High Sierra.

When I put my pass phrase into my new Brave installation it only found 7 BAT!!!

WHY?!?!

This was weeks ago.

Yea I’ve lost bat 4times. Easily over $50. The last one was $30 alone. I don’t see why they can’t get on it and provide a backup for us. I’ve also lost bookmarks and passwords. I mean c’mon, 15 million user base and you can’t figure out how to create a backup for your users? It should be #1 on you list a long time ago. If you can’t do it, out source it and have another company do it for you.

P.S. - Obtaing BAT is the #1 function of the Brave browser (along with privacy).

Your #1 issue that I see on this forum is pertaining to losing BAT. Why would you not fix your #1 issue that users have been having for a long time?
