Full version Vs cheap version!! Pay the extra!!

Well I must say what a massive difference this app is buy paying the £7.99 a month. This version is so much better that the cheaper paid version. I did not rate it at all gave a bad review. But now I’m back tracking what I said and saying just pay for the proper version of this and you will see the difference how better everything is. I have only downloaded this version today. So I do need to give this a little time to see how I get on. I let’s wait and see. But I really can tell I’m not going to have any issues with the quality of this version and it’s security. Paying for the cheap version of this I just would not bother with that. Pay the extra and you will be glad u did!!

Data brokers

I made the mistake of buying the full plan annually, first of all they have made it so hard and complicated to cancel and refund that after two hours i am still unable to claim a refund. Then there is the data mining. As an Anti-anything they sure collect too much information both financial and digital about the users. This should be illegal but somehow they are still in business. Just take a look at their website, purposefully bombarding the user with cookie's consents and when you click on reject it will pop up again in each and every page.
The app sneakily accessed my whole email inbox even when I didn't give permissions for it. When i did not consent to giving access to emails in the next page it changed the agreement to a sign-in page which automatically gives the app permission to read all my emails. And you think it might be useful after all, but no it just says that you have whatever number of accounts on different websites and if you want to remove them you have to contact them one by one. I could go on and on but if you value your privacy steer clear of this Company.
And by the way their customer support doesn't answer phone calls easily .I was on the phone for 20 minutes and wasn't able to talk to anyone.

Find Poor For Mobiles

Cannot criticise for my laptop in the past, but regret having for my iPhone (have security on that anyway). Due to me having photos on it which weren’t private, I didn’t save in a personal file so I constantly got pestered in the past. Nobody’s face was on it, or if it was it was a photo I took whilst at Old Trafford so would be famous football players - I took photos from testimonials etc. Also photos of areas such as hotels I stayed in, beaches/swimming pools so nobody’s face is on them as I did in the evening or early morning before people came out. Causes nightmare after nightmare - majority of people I know feel the same. Don’t bother with it - not worth it. I realise in 2022 it doesn’t cover my phone as now need IOS 13, I only have 12.5. Received refund a few days ago, logging onto my laptop I realised I’d have to update my Windows which cannot currently afford to do (have to pay £125 to do so - very rarely use my laptop, working on one 8-9 hours per day I tend to briefly pop online via my iPhone). They expect me to change this review but I clearly mention you need IOS 13, I only have 12.5. Due to them not taking notice of what I clearly mention I have changed this from 2 stars to 1 star.
