Great App But

It’s a great app but for some reason I’m unable to create an account. I met all the criteria ie 10 characters, at least 1 special character, 1 lower case letter etc etc. So I’m left being unable to utilise the app fully.

Incorrect alerts

App consistently shows warnings and alerts 100’s of miles away from me so I find it totally useless. Alert to me used to be a way better app before this rubbish
launched.

I have a watch zone etc etc so your response was meaningless!
