This company is a scam

If I could give it zero stars, I would. I called multiple times to cancel my membership and each time I was told that I would receive a callback from a manager. I never did. The app itself is extremely challenging to use and very glitchy. Do not waste your money or your time. You will not receive a refund no matter how hard you try totally a scam.

Membership is a scam

Get in and get out. As a caregiver they try to nickel and dime you.
