## Review summary

Users generally praise Optery for effective data removal with solid proof and reporting, plus the convenience of an iOS app. However, many cite high costs, incomplete removals, privacy and billing concerns, clunky app UX, and weak customer support as major recurring negatives.

### Pros

- Effective at finding and removing personal data from data brokers across the web, with visible results.
- Clear proof of deletions and ongoing progress through monthly reports and in-app screenshots/status updates.
- Convenient access via an iOS app, making it easier to manage removals on the go.

### Cons

- High price / value concerns; many users feel the service is overpriced relative to the results.
- Incomplete removals across brokers; some major data brokers remain and progress can be slow, with spam exposure persisting.
- Privacy and billing concerns: unsubscribing can lead to data use or continued charges, and IP tracking or data handling worries are noted.
- Poor app UX: perceived as dry/unfriendly, with issues like not remembering login, missing features (dark mode, Face ID), and typos.
- Customer support is often described as slow or non-existent, with reliance on bots and limited direct contact options.
