Ratings and reviews

"less than 1 star" rating based on annoyance. I kept getting random & annoying "ping" alerts from "Briefing", but couldnt figure out what app was causing it. Occasionally woke me up at night (even with 'do not disturb" turned on). Finally figured out it was Flipboard's Briefing. Didnt know it was there, dont want it, can't uninstall. The movie line, "Terminate with extreme prejudice" comes to mind ...

I don't remember having this app when I bought it brand new. All of the sudden early morning when I reboot my phone it began downloading it's own in front of my two eyes. Wow. Talking about security. Whenever they feel like installing something to your phone, you have no fighting chance. Stop doing this for goodness sake. Stop wasting our data and memories.

Update: Not only can I not uninstall this garbage, but now I've received an email indicating that they've had a data breach. Glad to receive the notice but I could have been better protected by BEING ALLOWED TO UNINSTALL IT; so irritating! Original Review: Bloatware I don't want and can't get rid of. it does allow me to turn it off, but it turns itself back on every few weeks. I'd give 0 stars if that were an option.
