With Identity Defender, you can:
Receive identity alerts for suspicious activity linked to your personal details
Monitor your credit score, activities, and access detailed credit reports

Seemed like a good app at first. Couple months later, it is just a white screen when I open the app. Displays no data at all. I would have went with pentester if I knew Identity Defender was so incomplete. Paid for express vpn's two year service as well, the vpn service also bugs out. Sometimes it will only connect to isreal location, that is weird.bout to swap to mullvad if all this keeps up.
Developer Response
Hello SlimyRabit360, we are truly sorry to hear that you are encountering a white screen in the Identity Defender app and experiencing connection bugs with our VPN service. This is certainly not the seamless experience we want you to have after subscribing to our two-year plan, and we would love to help get both services running properly to help boost your digital security and improve your online privacy.For the Identity Defender app showing a white screen, this can often be resolved by performing a clean reinstall of the app or clearing your device's app cache. Please also ensure that you are logged in using the credentials associated with your active Advanced or Pro tier subscription, as these are the plans that include our identity protection tools.Regarding the VPN connection routing exclusively to Israel, this can typically be fixed by manually switching your VPN protocol (such as choosing our Lightway protocol) in the app settings, or performing a clean reinstallation of the ExpressVPN app to clear any corrupted network configurations.We would appreciate the opportunity to have our technical specialists look directly into your account and device setup to resolve these issues for you. Please connect with our 24/7 support team via live chat at expressvpn.com or email us at support@expressvpn.com so we can assist you right away.The ExpressVPN Team
Just an alarm
bebefter
This app does little of what it promises. It does one scan every few months and can’t even remove data from most brokers; I’m still having to search and remove the data myself between scans. Most of the other features are already provided by other services you already use. Mostly a waste of storage.
Developer Response
Hi bebefter, thank you for the detailed feedback on Identity Defender. We can't confirm the specific scan frequency or broker coverage from here, but this is valuable feedback for our product team. If you're running into ongoing issues with removals, please reach out to our support team so they can look into your specific case: support@expressvpn.com or via live chat at expressvpn.com.The ExpressVPN Team
