User reviews

So let me get this straight. Over 10,000 users in over 2 years, one other review, one very bizarre response under the "Support" tab, no instructions of any kind (thus, I still don't have any idea what it actually does). And it took 3 months to respond to the only other review. Sorry, I have no need to give unhampered access to anyone without a very good reason. Uninstalling. (Do you keep my data?)
