Ratings and reviews

Very hard to close account. They say you need to send support an email, but don't give the support email address. Contacting support directly through the website doesn't work unless you have a premium account. I installed the app to try it out and compare it to competitors. Then when I uninstalled the app I still got email message from them. Their emails did not have the unsubscribe feature. Instead, they require me to reinstall the app so that I can unsubscribe to emails. What a mess.

The service is okay. I really wanted to pay the extra for messaging monitoring, but it's not supported with Android. I tried to get a refund within minutes of realizing messaging wasn't supported. The customer service is really difficult to find. I recommend you not paying for the service if you want an actual human to help you. I had to go through Google play to get my money back. Currently in search of a better app.

Very complicated to use for the average person, time consuming to set up controls, confusing. As others have said, they make it very difficult to cancel subscription and then they automatically bill you, pulling the money out of your bank account. Email address they give you to close account doesn't work, cannot find the web page.
