White screen

Seemed like a good app at first. Couple months later, it is just a white screen when I open the app. Displays no data at all. I would have went with pentester if I knew Identity Defender was so incomplete. Paid for express vpn's two year service as well, the vpn service also bugs out. Sometimes it will only connect to isreal location, that is weird.
bout to swap to mullvad if all this keeps up.

Response from developer

Hello SlimyRabit360, we are truly sorry to hear that you are encountering a white screen in the Identity Defender app and experiencing connection bugs with our VPN service. This is certainly not the seamless experience we want you to have after subscribing to our two-year plan, and we would love to help get both services running properly to help boost your digital security and improve your online privacy. For the Identity Defender app showing a white screen, this can often be resolved by performing a clean reinstall of the app or clearing your device's app cache. Please also ensure that you are logged in using the credentials associated with your active Advanced or Pro tier subscription, as these are the plans that include our identity protection tools. Regarding the VPN connection routing exclusively to Israel, this can typically be fixed by manually switching your VPN protocol (such as choosing our Lightway protocol) in the app settings, or performing a clean reinstallation of the ExpressVPN app to clear any corrupted network configurations. We would appreciate the opportunity to have our technical specialists look directly into your account and device setup to resolve these issues for you. Please connect with our 24/7 support team via live chat at expressvpn.com or email us at support@expressvpn.com so we can assist you right away. The ExpressVPN Team

Doesn’t work

This app used to work but now it doesn’t even open.

Does not work

This app is definitely broken. It’s attempted to send a code to my email numerous times and does nothing.

Response from developer

Hi, sorry the verification emails aren't coming through. Please reach out to support@expressvpn.com with the email on your account so the team can look into the code delivery issue. We'll help get you signed in.

Total waste of time

You download identity, defender, it has you fill out forms, all seem to be free. Then it tells you to go over to unmasked.com. You fill out more forms there, and it runs you through 8 to 15 pages of alleged reports where it looks like it’s drilling down on you or the subject you entered, and you spent about 10 to 15 minutes waiting for this alleged report to come together. It’s all supposed to be free right? Just like it says at the Express VPN website, it’s all included with your Express VPN membership. So after waiting about 15 minutes to get the report that I looked for, it’s now asking me for money to see the report. Peyton switch Scam all over again.

Response from developer

Hello! We are very sorry for the confusion and concern. Please be assured that the official ExpressVPN Identity Defender app does not redirect users to third-party websites like "unmasked.com", nor does it ask for additional payment to view your reports. As you correctly mentioned, Identity Defender is included at no extra charge with our Advanced and Pro subscriptions for U.S. users. It sounds like you may have inadvertently clicked on a third-party ad or a misleading link outside of our official ecosystem. We strongly encourage you to reach out to our support team at support@expressvpn.com or via our 24/7 live chat at expressvpn.com so we can help verify that you have the official app installed and ensure you are safely accessing your included benefits. The ExpressVPN team

Issues

I am not sure if this is normal...since I have upgraded expressvpn and started using identity defender, I have been receiving the most spam mail I've ever received on a daily basis.
