User reviews

Can’t create an account

I downloaded this app today but can’t use it. Why? It will give me the option of logging in, but I don’t yet have an account so I can’t do that. When I stumbled across what appeared to be the account creation page, I quickly discovered that it allows the user to create accounts for various LA newspapers, VPN providers, and an assortment of other questionable apps. What it doesn’t do is allow you to create an account for *this* app. Deleting

Horrible

App never works. Paid for it yet can’t login. Now nothing works making the entire app, useless.

Poor business practices

Ongoing subscription issues with this app have made it worthless. Have had to contact app manager multiple times for interruptions in service each month. Temporary fix then problem recurs at the beginning of the next month. Takes several weeks to resolve each time. Would not recommend.

Need another update

Everything was fine before these series of updates…. From alerts from west bubba to no alerts to a non user friendly format… please fix this

After years of use they ruined it

I bought this this app many years ago but stopped receiving alerts a few months ago. I just figured out the fix is to pay $72 a year. That’s not happening. This subscription model for everything is untenable I hope these guys realize that. Bro $72 a year? Come on will the buffs really pay that? If they don’t next year it will be $100 to make up the difference. Where does it end?
