Ratings and reviews

Just another useless app that I can't unistall, disable, or hide from my phone. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a useful one, but since it doesn't work it my country, it's really pointless. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Calls the police for no reason when I'm trying to shut my alarm off in the morning. Acts like a virus on my phone with five or six running services in the background. Automatically installed on my phone during android software update. Illegal practice.

After updating the app, when I open it I just see a background (a woman sitting on a chair) and nothing else. No button or any other items I used to see in the past versions.
