App doesn’t work. Complete WASTE
Update:Since my initial review, the system capacity has been increased and now the app is working. I have sent many requests to various websites to ot share my date, so now I am awaiting responses to determine the effectiveness of this app.
The app never sends a confirmation email, which is necessary to move forward with any request. What a WASTE!!!!Show lessDkrmd1

Thank you for the re-review! We appreciate it and are happy to hear you were able to access Permission Slip!Excellent App!
Initial attempts to create an account failed, very likely because of demand for the app. Waited a couple hours and all went smoothly. Within another couple hours was able to begin the process of requesting that data not be sold, or deleting accounts altogether. Layout is easy to navigate - deck of cards is brilliant. Great app!Show lessDrPeace

Thank you so much for the great review! We're excited to hear you were able to exercise your data rights!Sam Saved My Life
Oh boy, have you heard about Permission Slip? It's like the Tinder for your data privacy, but instead of swiping right to find "the one," you swipe right to tell data brokers, "You're not the one who's allowed to have my data!" This app is basically your helicopter parent for the digital age. "Stop selling my child's data, Karen. He's not a piece of merchandise!"
Permission Slip is like having an overly-attached bodyguard who not only fights off the data creeps but also walks up to them and says, "Delete his data, and do it NOW!" Oh, and it's from Consumer Reports, so it's basically like your stern, but fair, aunt who's always got your back at family dinners when everyone else is getting into your business. Swipe right on Permission Slip; it's the only relationship you won't regret in the morning!Show lessGameb0x

This review made our day, too funny! We're so glad you're enjoying Permission Slip!Unable to register
Tried several times today to create an account. The app just returned me to the same page. Now I try to create an account this evening and it says there’s already one there with my email. I select the option to reset my password, I get the email. Click the link and reset my password. Try and log in again and “An error has occurred”. Tried the password reset twice now with the same results.Show lessRh3662a

Thank you for sharing your experience. As Permission Slip experienced huge growth (nearly 60k new users in 48 hours) following its launch on Oct. 3rd, there was a brief period of increased activity that resulted in some slowness and inability for users to register. We've acted swiftly to increase our capacity, and we're happy to report that service is running smoothly now. We're sorry you had this experience, and would love to make sure you can get back into the app. Please contact us at permissionslip@cr.consumer.org and we'll make sure you can get access to your account. Thank you for your patience and understanding!Nice idea bad execution
I download this because of the good review in the Washington Post, but it’s proving to be very difficult to set up an account. The app also does not play well with apples keychain, so this means that things that should fill automatically have to be typed over and over again. Even after setting up an account and logging in it just freezes and doesn’t go anywhere. It certainly doesn’t make me confident that I would depend on it for accessing many accounts, which are actually important, even if they are sharing too much data. Why should I have any confidence that it will behave properly?Show lesssurubim

We're sorry to hear about your issues registering. Within our first 48 hours live we received nearly 60,000 new users excited to protect their data which caused some slowness and issues with registration. We quickly worked to increase capacity and mitigate the issues and the app is now running as expected. We invite you to open Permission Slip again, and to please reach out to us at permissionslip@cr.consumer.org if you are still experiencing issues.App does not work on new iPhone iOS
Downloaded this app today and it does not work.
Had to sign up a second time with a different email as first one I couldn’t get past the What state do you live in ? screen and after I signed out, I could never log back in, get an error message or a screen freeze.
I got in on the second try, setting up new account with another email but my home screen is blank, won’t set up Auto Requests, won’t save additional email addresses (get an error message with a weird header screen) and generally won’t function.
I have done the user agreement, authorization, phone, primary email address and legal name Auto and Home are blank with a faint spinning ball. Requests says to get swiping but nothing happens when you swipe I’m assuming its an Apple issue but at the moment this app is non-functioning.Show lessCoreyRo

Would love for you to open up Permission Slip again and to please reach out to us at permissionslip@cr.consumer.org if you have any continuing issues or need help accessing your account.Not working well yet
I needed to use a longer password than was described. When I finally logged in, I had problems moving on to the next step. I think I’ll wait and see if debugging occurs. If it was me, I apologize.cjhwomx
Multiple email addresses problem
Great idea but I second the reviewer who points out that sending a bundle of my email addresses together is actually the opposite of helpful if (when) the receiver combines the addresses into one identity. The solution seems simple though: Send each address independently, as if a separate person is sending, rather than "bundled" as a single request.Show lessdtoyd

Thanks so much for this feedback. We've passed it on to our product and development teams. If you continue to have any issues or want to share additional feedback, please reach out to us at permissionslip@cr.consumer.orgLet me know when the app actually works.
I never leave reviews on apps but this is one that I downloaded today. I’ve tried to create an account and it tells me that I have one already. I changed my password and it still won’t allow me to login and explore what the app is purported to do. Zero stars. Let me know when the bugs are fixed and I may try again.Show lessFrustrated Lexus Owner

The idea is fantastic. Sadly, the app is so glitchy as to be virtually unusable. It also never asked for my name and phone number when setting up the account, then told me I would have to contact customer support to "change" my name from "-" to my actual name. Same for my phone number. I'll gladly revisit if the app is fixed, but currently it does not work.Show lessUser77409
