Amazing service

I was locked out of an old email account, and these guys had my password reset and everything back up and running in under 10 minutes. Outstanding service!

Ironically, I had the exact same issue with Oura Ring, and after an entire month, they still couldn’t resolve something so simple. It got to the point where I had to dispute the subscription charge with my credit card company just to cancel it. Oura lost a customer over something that should have taken minutes to fix. I’ve never experienced worse customer service.

What a difference! These guys are top-notch. Great pricing, exceptional service, and they actually get things done. I highly recommend them!

terrible app

I have been using this unreliable app for the padt 6 mos . Almost daily I am alerted to manually add my location . This is highly problematic for a residency tracker tracker. Ehy would I need this setvice if I can manually input my location on a daily badis. Needs serious revision and testing begore they unleash a half baked product !!

Grateful

I’m grateful to have found TaxBird. The app is easy to navigate and helps keep you in compliance tracking your days. An attorney referred me to TaxBird saying, “I think it’s the best and easiest app to use for keeping track of your days”. I’d say, he is right. I’ve also reached out to customer service with a question. Excellent customer service and a quick response. Highly recommend!

Good idea poor execution

I guess, I tried. I am traveling for job, but always when I travel the app get confused and I need to adjust or confirm the location. When I stay at certain location for few days, I still need to open the app almost daily and add the location manually. At this point it’s just useless. The sane way I can add the record to my calendar, if I need to do the manual adjustments almost daily. It is not worth the effort or the money.
