Stopped Working

App worked fine for months, now won’t open. No value if it doesn’t work.

Notices welcome but….

I received a notice on credit “. capital one closed account “…. I don’t have a Capital One account…. ID Watchdog doesn’t tell what to do…. I still like alerts!

Can’t Clear Alerts

Why can’t the alerts be cleared? I tried swiping them away and that doesn’t work. There is no way to select and delete them like email. It shouldn’t be this difficult!

Great Protection

Alerted and stopped hard inquiries when cards were tried to open in my credit.

Response from developer

Thank you for the nice review! We're glad you like our features.

Can’t view alerts

What’s the point of receiving alerts if I can’t view the content of the alert? It’s absolutely useless

FAQ

What does ID Watchdog do?

ID Watchdog helps protect your identity and your family's personal information. It provides real-time alerts for suspicious activity, allows you to lock and unlock your Equifax credit report, and monitors billions of data points, including the dark web, for signs of identity theft.

What are the key features of ID Watchdog?

Key features include real-time alerts for potential threats, the ability to lock and unlock your Equifax credit report, child credit lock to protect minors, credit score tracking using the VantageScore model, and dark web monitoring. It also offers expert support for identity restoration if you become a victim.

How much does ID Watchdog cost?

The provided information indicates the app is free with in-app purchases, suggesting that core monitoring and protection features may require a subscription or purchase within the app.

What kind of credit scores does ID Watchdog provide?

The app provides credit scores based on the VantageScore® 3.0 model. For three-bureau VantageScore credit scores, data from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion is used. A one-bureau VantageScore uses Equifax data.

Can I still access my credit report if it's locked?

Yes, certain entities can still access your Equifax credit report even when locked. This includes companies providing you with a copy of your report or score upon request, government agencies and courts in specific circumstances, and companies involved in insurance underwriting, employment, or tenant screening.
