### 1/5 — Won’t connect

*2024-12-04, version 2.0*

I was really excited to try using this app because my data usage is high and I would like to decrease it. Unfortunately, it just won’t connect. I attempted to email the issue to the provided support email, but I got a return to send her email. Then I tried submitting a request and question on their website, but it still has not been answered.

### 1/5 — App sucks real bad !!!

*2019-03-15, version 2.0*

Error messages everywhere when trying to install. Cut off your voice recognition. Programs running very slow. It never connects to a server. I am glad I only spent a couple of bucks on this. Also there is no customer support. I have been trying to Talk to someone in support but I have not had any luck. This is the biggest waste of time I have ever ever had trying to install an app.
