I'm no longer with metro or T-Mobile but I can't uninstall the app. I despise the fact that even if I force stop, delete data and don't give it any permissions it keeps coming back up. I don't like the ads or news stuff. it makes my phone look messy. I've even uninstalled the updates on the app to see if that helps and somehow it makes things worse. every time I wake up, the app automatically just opens on my locked screen. it's annoying af. if I could give it no stars, I would.

forcing the lock screen on users isn't the smartest idea! I wasn't happy to find it this morning! luckily you can disable it in the app settings and default to the original lock screen. but definitely don't change the settings on a users phone without asking them if they want it first!

if I could I'd give it a zero because anytime I get an update T-Mobile forces it back on and I don't want it on because it forces things on my lock screen and changes my clock which I have setup to take up the whole screen just wish I could completely delete the app I only use my phone for a phone my kids use it for games I want to go back to dumb phones that you could only call and text on
