Bought the App then immediately realized it was the wrong one. Was not able to cancel the subscription so had to pay for one year… thanks Apple for tricking your customers! Very wise. ### 1/5 — Why does this exist? *2024-09-02, version 1.3* The most confusing application to use. If it wasn’t for my school i wont be using this app ### 1/5 — garbage *2024-07-29, version 1.3* garbage ### 1/5 — More Complicated than Google Authenticator *2024-07-24, version 1.3* My first impression is: I hate it. Does not easily link by QR code. Gives a stupid step by step message for integration, doesn’t work and keeps timing out. ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2024-06-21* Literally zero help doesn't explain anything , do not charge me , trying to delete **Developer response:** We are sorry that some problems have negatively affected your Authenticator App experience.

If you want to unsubscribe there is no option to cancel the subscription, only the obtain to view the different planes. Pure scum! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Access *2026-02-11, version 2.0* Hard to use, i dont want or need to pay $79.99 ### 1/5 — Why *2025-06-04, version 1.8* Why am I having to pay for this when Macquarie is asking me to go into it? ### 1/5 — Microsoft Software is no longer functional *2025-03-04, version 1.8* I wish that Microsoft could continue to make functional software as they have since the 2000’s instead of focusing on AI and forcing its customers to give their data to feed their machine. My blood boils every time I receive a prompt where the only option is to accept the terms and conditions if you wish to continue using software that has been already purchased. ### 1/5 — Save your money this is a scam *2025-01-31, version 1.8* Once you open app, you think you’re getting a site tour, but once you hit continue you’ve bought a nonrefundable annual subscription if you have PayPal linked to the App Store. Apple will deny refund even if you cancel within seconds. Developer website is a fake with nonsense text. Don’t bother with support email - it’s a dead link in northern Macedonia. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-01-02, version 1.8* This app is a scam do not download it ### 1/5 — Save your money this is a scam *2024-12-27* Once you open app, you think you’re getting a site tour, but once you hit continue you’ve bought a nonrefundable annual subscription if you have PayPal linked to the App Store.

I just got converted to apple 2 days ago and downloaded this app for my accounts and they made a 40 pounds yearly subscription by theirselves and when I asked for a refund they denied to do so. I mean what the duck. It’s my first experience with this app and iPhone and the worst one I am only facing problems since I got this phone. I am uninstalling this app and recommend not to install this because worthless don’t even do the one job that it’s supposed to do. Giving one star because can’t give a zero. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-12-14, version 1.8* This app forces you to subscribe at every turn and has no real functionality without it. Someone who is not cautious could easily accidentally subscribe and be out a ton of money ### 1/5 — Mad at apple! *2024-10-14, version 1.6* App worked fine. Thought I didn’t subscribe to the three day trial period. Was wrong. They charged me 55.49 with tax included. I tried to dispute it with apple. They refuse to give my money back. Frick apple! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-10-08, version 1.5* Absolutely rubbish takes you round and round in circles without giving any instructions. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BIRBAL KARDA *2025-12-29, version 1.9* Excellent --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
