Customer service

Great customer service. I am using phone guard in the USA. The company is based in Germany. I sent feedback that the app was not working. I got a prompt email response and even a phone call advising me on how to resolve the issue.

Vorsicht

Die App lässt sich nicht wieder von der Watch entfernen und verbraucht den kompletten Akku binnen kürzester Zeit. Ich kann nur empfehlen- Finger weg
