This is beyond ridiculous. If the CEO...

Updated by user May 08, 2026

Look at the stock since Oct 2025 and they just keeping diluting the stock. Killing the stockholders while making millions in salaries and raiding the profits of the company making it unprofitable.

Original review May 08, 2026

This is beyond ridiculous. If the CEO cannot guide the company to becoming profitable, then he needs to move the *** on.

They have been screwing the stockholders long enough. I have lost 800k on this POS company all because they continue to dilute the stock while making millions in salary and show no profit. Therefore, *** the stockholders. This has been going on for years.

I have lost my *** patience. This is deliberate, and you are defrauding the stockholders by sucking all the profit out of the company.

Loss:
$800000
Cons:
  • Losing money

User's recommendation: Beware of shady leadership

No help what do ever!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - App doesn't work offline.
  • - Monthly subscription should work while traveling without internet.
  • - Need a live representative to help fix the setup.
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

This app is not working at all if I don't have internet, the home point for paying a monthly subscription is to use it while traveling without internet.

I should be able to speak to a live representative if I'm paying a monthly subscription.

Your customer service machine sucks!!! It does not help at all!!!

I need to speak to someone to walk me thru fixing the set up so it works

User's recommendation: Do not pay subscriptions if not able to speak to a rep

Billing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Apr 05, 2023

Not sure if account opened or if billed. If I was billed, it was without my consent and possibly disguised as something else on my credit card.. Have not been able to reach them to reolve if it needs resolving, or to cancel account if one exists.

Original review updated Apr 05, 2023

Were not helpful in determining whether I successfully opened an account. Impossible to reach and communicate with.

Don't recommend.

Preferred solution: Full refund
