SF Sunday (ID: 0000003e8ace1802) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/21/2023 When it works, it's great. And it did for me most of time for years. But when it doesn't support it the worst. Absolutely awful. The support form on their site brings up an error message even when filled out properly & has done so for a couple years. No response to emails, twitter, dms through social media. Once in awhile I get a dm saying 'oh sorry we missed this. we'll do better' but they never do better. Impossible to get a response. It's not been working for about 2 weeks now and no help from support at all. Have message pretty much daily. They'll still take your money. Only thing to do is cancel.

L H (ID: 00000003e36dd9c8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/11/2023 THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY. Do not install this app at all as the company will charge you multiple times in one day for an annual subscription. You cannot remove your credit card from their app either. Their "support" is non-existent and they do not answer their phone or reply to any support emails. Corrupt company. Google should remove their extension from the store as they are a fraudulent company.

Nuno Canha (ID: 000000f5f796fd3b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/04/2022 It worked initially. No it does not work and nobody from the support team replies.
