Ratings and reviews

If there were a MINUS 10 option in the ratings, it would what this app gets. Cannot stop, cannot remove, it is preinstalled and just another way to be tracked. It is bloatware, spyware, trackware, and utterly useless to anyone but tracphone. Disgusted, and I am going to get another phone from another provider. Sick and tired of giving out info to people and companies that have not asked or let me know they were doing it. I feel raped. And I didn't even get dinner before, or a kiss after!

very intrusive and does things in a manner that is not apparent to the customer. if you press twice it gives more permissions to allow more access than what I was lead to believe this app is just a method for Google to gather everyones information and tricks them into thinking that they are safe but every icon is another opportunity to take advantage of the unsuspecting customer and I think they should be looked into more thoroughly.

This app tries to pacify you with some control over notifications or shutting it down, only to ignore all of it moments later. Edit: I seem to have found a way to shut it down as much as possible without it popping back up unsolicited. (I just clicked, long pressed, and double checked every "upper right, 3 dots" options on all pages and managed to find some ambiguous settings)
