Stupid Design

Is this still free?

Why is this app when I download it asking me to update my payment method I've been having issues with it not sending anything and getting an error message when I did so I deleted it and when I tried downloading it again it wants me to pay for it what's up with that?
Bradley HaleBradley Hale

Massive Security Concern

I recommend no one use this app unless specifically for business. Do not use this for anything personal. Virtru can see all emails associated with your account and are likely able to download all of them. I do not know why they need access to past emails when you are using them specifically to send and recieve crypted emails. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!!!
