### 3/5 — Singing up

*2023-06-13*

Hello I tried to sign up but keep asking for membership number? How can I sign up?

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out. Our Member Service Team is ready to assist you. Please get in touch with them at (888)-494-8519 between 7-7 CST Monday-Friday and a team member will be happy to help.

### 5/5 — Excellent service

*2022-12-30*

Thankfully, I've never had any major theft issues, so I haven't had to rely on the full extent of this service. However, I get notifications of things I am actively doing on a regular basis. Open credit cards, see an email found on the dark web, that came from a site I did provide info to and then was hacked, all that. Those notifications I receive keeps me sane in knowing that I should know fairly quickly if I have a theft problem.

Overall, great service. Easy to use and setup application. Keep it up!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words & review. We are happy to hear that you love the app! Thank you for being a valued member.

### 5/5 — Very satisfied

*2022-09-15*

I have been using this for the last couple of years and it has been amazing! We were notified about our sons SSN being used fraudulently and we would have never known! A few times we have been notified about people accessing our different accounts. It’s a huge peace of mind!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the five-star review. We love hearing from our members, and we are glad that you are loving the app and services provided.

### 5/5 — Mr. Wall

*2022-01-05*

I love that I am able to keep track of my credit score and credit history. The app also has so many other features that allow me to track my identity and if there are any “creeps” in my area. I can go on and on. Overall great application.

**Developer response:** Mr. Wall, thank you for your five-star review! We are happy to hear that you love our robust app features! You are correct; our members gain peace of mind knowing their family's finances, credit, identities, and reputation are being looked out for 24/7. And with our sex offender monitoring, members like yourself can rest a little easier knowing they will be alerted if any new offenders move into their neighborhood. Thank you for being a valued member!

### 5/5 — Thank you for bring me peace of mind.

**Developer response:** Sanjay, thank you for the five-star review. We love hearing from our members, and we are glad that you love the app.

### 5/5 — Frustrating

*2019-03-24*

I deleted and uninstalled and still can’t get logged in.

### 1/5 — No In-App Subscription Violation?!

*2019-02-13*

There’s no clear info on how to get a subscription, or even a way to purchase one through the app using your Apple ID, or card!

The app must be updated with such content, should it wish to remain on the Apple App Store!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2019-02-09*

This is an easy up to use, I sign up through Primerica. I am satisfied with their services get alerts immediately. I would recommend to people I know. This gives me peace of mind.
