Ratings and reviews

It's weird. In the app store it says it's no longer compatible with my newer Android tablet. Maybe it won't update either? I suspect I require this but I'm not sure. The description doesn't provide enough info. My battery does drain fairly quick even though I have the general location setting turned off. Not sure if this access location anyway. It says it's associated with a relative's email account, so...?

This app is a terrible one, the only reason I keep it is because unfortunately, my phone needs it to run properly. It's always running in the background, it takes way too much space, and it often crashes and stops working which in turn does the same to the phone. The weirdest problems that pop up on my phone are all caused by this app. I don't understand. It's been years. Surely you can optimize this app, or even better, eliminate the need for you all to know this appeared of the app thanks you?
