Beats Ben Running His Mouth

Glad this app is an option… sure beats having to listen to Ben running his biased mouth off topic all the time just to get the relevant information. I can monitor “the situation” myself and receive updates. Thanks Carrington!

Been Using This App For Years

Just recently getting use to the new updates and it not only looks good but works good as well. More educational information has been added with more charts and prices for additional data still is very low in prices per year then I would have expected. I think this is the best version on this app then the previous versions combined. Had it since Ben first released it so keep up the great work! For those looking to download I can tell you I have tried other apps before and this is the best one out there.

Not sure what is happening

This app is really acting weird and crashing my phone and I can’t even select “upgrade” as suggested … it’s really forced or something, it my phone still compliant it’s crashing as soon as it tries to load … totally useless app for iPhone SE?

App page has no upgrade tab, it only offers me to open it.

I could delete the app and redownload but I’m not sure if I need to etc.


Sorry to complain but it’s literally more than useless on my phone it literally crashes it… I’m not looking to damage my iPhone.

When will it work?

I’m inquiring about when the Carrington alerts will be back. It’s been a number of weeks with no access to them, no notifications, and just a notice updates are coming. I just get a blank white screen when accessing that option. Turned them off then on per instructions with no change. Not sure we’re interested renewingr the app at this point. Thanks in advance for your response and information

Junk App. Unresponsive support.

I used to enjoy using this app. However, after writing them indicating that the main splash screen has been the same one that has been for several months. There was no response from support. Make sure you make the right session before paying for this app. It says it has huge updates ahead. But that’s being posted for a while. I’ve been paying for this app. Getting very disappointed and its functionality. Choose your purchase wisely.
