Scam

This app connects to other subscriptions asking you to do a 2F authentication which you most likely don’t have to do. There is hidden info and they somehow download behind the scenes when you sign up for different apps that hold confidential information. They are listed within my subscriptions twice and never signed up for the app nor did I download it. They went in my account consistently taking 6.99 and when I caught it, Apple refused to refund my money so I’ll have to take peruse legal process. The app is listed on the internet as being a scam and lots of people have the same issue with similar complaints.

Response from developer

Hello! We’re sorry for the confusion. Our Authenticator app cannot access your accounts, sign you up for other services, or create subscriptions without your confirmation. All subscriptions and payments are processed and managed by Apple through your Apple ID. If you see an unfamiliar subscription, please check Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions to review or cancel it. For billing or refund issues, please contact Apple directly through reportaproblem.apple.com.

Not Really a Free App

It looks like a free app, but once you start using it, you quickly realize that it is very difficult to use without paying.

The app constantly pushes you toward purchasing expensive paid features in various ways. I installed it expecting a free app, but the actual experience feels much more like a paid app.

It would be better if the app clearly stated from the beginning that most useful features require payment.
