User Reviews

Users appreciate the prompt identity protection alerts and credit report controls provided by the service. However, the Android app suffers from frequent login problems, including trust errors and lack of password reset options, making it frustrating or unusable for many. The app appears outdated and buggy, with missing features and poor data visibility, while the website is often more reliable. Customer service is praised by some, but overall, app functionality and support need significant improvement.

Pros

Provides timely alerts on identity and credit activities, helping users respond quickly to potential fraud.
Valued customer service and support reported by users who managed to get assistance.
Integration with credit reports allowing users to lock and unlock credit reports for some credit bureaus.
Effective identity protection service that notifies users nearly immediately about suspicious activities.
Reliable website service that some users find works better than the app.

Cons

Severe login issues including failures with biometrics, passwords, and no option to reset forgotten passwords.
App has not been updated for years, resulting in increasing glitches, bugs, and lack of functionality.
Trust and security certificate errors preventing users from logging in on Android devices.
App notifications sometimes disable themselves and the app locks users out even with correct credentials.
Poor app functionality with inability to view important data such as sex offender details or credit alerts within the app itself.
