Permission Slip by CR 4+

Nice app but screen display is faulty

I’ve been a Consumer Reports subscriber for decades and recently learned of this app. I installed it today on my iPhone 13 Pro and noticed right away that wording within the app is super huge and that some items extend off the screen. I was able to set it up and configure many settings. However there are items at the bottom of the screen that are cut off as they extend beyond the visible screen area. Also, when stepping through the companies selections and trying to configure them i often see the Learn More button covered up by the Skip This Company link which seems superimposed over the other.

These issues need to be fixed to make the app truly usable.

My phone is running the very latest IOS.

If you use multiple email addresses, this leaks those addresses

Unfortunately the app submits all of the email addresses you supply with every request you make. The goal is understandable (to increase the chance that the recipient will find your account), but it gives the target company valuable personal info which they didn't previously have. For privacy and security reasons I use a custom email address for every account (easy if you have a catch-all address), so it is at best pointless to submit all those addresses with every request. At worst it allows the receiving company to cross-reference those addresses and learn more about me from and of my personal information that they've acquired elsewhere, but which they didn't previously know belonged to me. Request: please let me specify which email address(es) to submit with each request. Don't make me enter all the addresses in advance, and don't automatically save the address because that would just mean I have to tediously delete it every time.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback!

I also tend to use a generated email for a similar reason.

This is a great point, and I will share this with the product team and see about adding it for a future release.

The more we hear about what features people need most, the better we can prioritize, so thanks for letting us know it's something you're looking for!

My data agent…

Companies harvest and sell our data for profit. It’s often done without our consent. Have you heard of a data broker? They’ve heard of you. This app makes it simple and fun to take back your data. It’s refreshing and empowering. Eager to see more firms on the list. Glad that the auto request feature is watching out for new actors.
