Ratings and reviews

Stop forcing me to update when I don't want to. I was using maps when I was FORCED into a 15 minute update (even after having one last week) and went the wrong way. Had to pull over and wait forever for it to finish and was late to an appointment and got a $25 late/no show fee. I was literally using the device when you disabled my phone. Ridiculous. This makes me want to throw this phone away and switch to something else. Stop forcing unwanted and unnecessary updates on people.

a worthless app that is layered upon other apps that should stand completely independently on your phone. This is a form of management that feeds back to the people who really make money off of you using using your phone. As one of the other reviewers indicated, it is disruptive for the stable, safe, and uninterrupted use of other apps that are meaningful. This app should be wholly optional and should be one that a person can opt out of upon purchase of the phone.

Totally useless to the personal individual. It has to be an optional download for organisations requiring it. Otherwise it simply occupies resources unnecessarily. Should be uninstallable.
