SCAM ALERT! STOLE $39.99 FROM ME!!!!

I’ve been looking for a new scanner app since my last one stopped working. Downloaded this one for the free trial to see if it worked well (IT DID NOT, poor quality app, glitches and doesnt work half the time). My subscription screen says it will charge me AFTER the trial ends. Almost immediately thereafter it charged me $39.99 for a year’s subscription. I DON’T WANT A YEAR OF THIS GARBAGE, MUCH LESS EVEN A FREE TRIAL. They aren’t responding to multiple emails like a scam artist. Calling my bank to dispute the charge. Scam artists!!!

Doesn’t work all the time

I’ll hear something going on in my neighborhood and of course that’s when the scanner doesn’t work,
