Ratings and reviews

I just think phone's sell and go out of date faster than a free so can keep up with. I thought this one would be better, but half of my data is still missing inspite of giving the 3 days to back everything up that was supposed to be enough time. I'm missing more than 4,300 text messages. An "expert" sold me this app (first month free) and starting next month, that's supposed start billing my account $3/month.

Confused??? If this is for Pixel phones only, WHY did this app come on my new Motorola that we just bought last week? Or was it "automatically" downloaded by 1 of the 3 bloatware apps that were "suggesting" apps (they came automatically on the phone) - basically all 3 of them were hidden and secretly downloading things onto the phone...this is ridiculous. I'm going down the list of apps in my settings and searching the ones I don't recognize one by one. This is one.

On my first try to transfer, could not send group messages or pics through text. Kept receiving notifications about finishing the pixel app and data transfer but when I clicked in the notification it took me no where. After researching to find others with this problem, I reset my phone to factory and tried the transfer again. Still getting the notifications but at least my texting problems are fixed I just turned off the notifications, not sure why I am receiving them as it does not provide details.
