Doesn’t work

Times out when I hit the Agree button.

Manage messages

When I get a text with a ten digit number at the top, I push more and forward it to 7729. Instantly a return message says the number I sent is not a correct number. I get 5 or more false messages each day and it is very annoying. It’s usually from a “Dorothy” or Amazon. I called Amazon and they have no number there. Wish something could be done.

Started getting robot calls right after installing it

Maybe it was a sheer coincidence but I started getting robocalls right after I installed it. Removed the app and the robocalls stopped.

Can’t access notifications

App doesn’t work

Not sure what the deal is. But, this app hasn’t worked since it was installed on my phone. Very disappointing!!

Worked for a while but

Something must of went wrong. Make a long story short, I have the same problem as many others. I tried and re-downloaded the app. DOES NOT SEND ME A PIN NUMBER. Get with it and fix this issue. You know all about it. No clue why it’s not getting fixed.

Not free

They want $4 per month to enable additional services ($50 let year!?)

Didn’t protect against some sort of virus or “glitch”!

I installed this app a few weeks ago and thought all was well. Until, about a week ago, my i7 would not let me answer my sister’s call. I would literally have to force reboot my cell in order to even call ANYONE back. I could not swipe or touch to answer, and couldn’t open ANY app after receiving ANY call. The only way I could fix this issue, was to connect to iTunes and perform a “reset”. I then decided, after learning that my sister had the FB messenger app, that I had to block her number as I’ve learned since even the beginning of FB messenger on the pc around 2011 , that it has always caused issues! I’m giving 2* review because I think it has nice features and some potential.

Not sure why this app exist?

I’m not sure why they even have this app? I downloaded it on the recommendation from AT&T. I receive 5 to 10 spam phone calls a day. Recently, none have been marked spam. In the past AT&T had marked them as possible spam, not anymore. You can block the numbers, but it doesn’t do any good, they just change the number. I’ve asked to be removed from the list, and I still continue to get the calls. I’m told if they don’t remove my number and they continue to call I can sue them. Who came up with this rumor? Sue who? If you call the sheriffs department, they apologize and say there’s nothing they can do. If you call AT&T, they tell you to block the number. They suggest you can upgrade he app, but if the app isn’t working now, why the hell would I upgrade? AT&T is a huge conglomerate, they can do better! (The 2 star is kind, only because the app warned of other security breaches.)

Waste of time

Well so far it does nothing except ask me if I want to unlock plus, for 3 or 4 bucks a month. I had high hopes that it might do something about spam robo calls, no luck there. The app has done nothing, don’t bother with it.
