## Review summary

The reviews are largely negative. Many users accuse FOX of being a scam and report paying for a service that does not work, with bugs, getting stuck, or offline status. Several complain they cannot add numbers or use the WhatsApp-focused features, and that the subscription money is not refunded and customer support is unresponsive. A small subset expresses positive sentiment, calling it useful or rating it as 'best' or 'love it,' but these are far outweighed by the major reliability and billing concerns.

### Pros

- Some users report the app as useful for family safety.
- Occasional positive feedback such as 'best' and 'love it'.
- Some reviewers describe the app as 'nice' or 'good' in usability.

### Cons

- Widespread claims that the app is a scam and takes money without delivering.
- Not working or buggy: users report it being stuck, bugs, and failure to connect.
- Cannot add numbers or use the service; often limited to WhatsApp.
- Payment/subscription issues with poor or no refunds and unresponsive customer support.
