The app doesn't work properly. I may have up to 3 phones connected at one time and the app shows none connected. Then it shows several unauthorized devices attempting to connect or have been connected and the app won't allow me to block the unauthorized devices. What am I paying for? I need to be able to block these unauthorized devices. Fix the app and I may change my rating. If you can't fix it, then I want my money refunded.
