User reviews

Pointless App

I looked at this app based on a recommendation of Fake-shop from AV-comparatives but when I found the functionality it didn’t actually do anything apart from tell you to download the browser add-in on your laptop or desktop. A bit of a waste of time!

Wichtig+ aktuell

Für mich seit Langem eine wichtige Infoquelle.
Der nichtkommerzielle Ansatz wäre förderungswürdig.
