Ratings and reviews

I like the service, but not a big fan of the app. Biggest complaint being that you have to sign in every time you open it. Which I get from a security standpoint, and it would be fine if you could just do it with biometrics/passkey, but you can't. The most efficient login method offered is singing in through 3rd party logins like Google, which makes no sense to require every time you open an app. The app is on your phone, your account is on your phone, so more steps but not more security.

The first few days the app showed some results in removing my info. At that time it showed multiple removals "pending", however, after a few months this did not change. Not worth it.

Edit: After Optery released their updated version of the app, I can login! And now the app seems to work great! Original Review: Unfortunately, I can't even login. The regex they use for client-side validation of email addresses doesn't allow my email address, even though it's a valid email. So, for now, I guess I wait for Optery to release an updated version of the app with a standards-compliant email regex that actually lets me login and use the app. Until then, the app is useless.
