## Review summary

Users overwhelmingly report GettingOut as unreliable. The core recurring issues are freezing/crashing and unresponsiveness, messaging/notification failures, and intrusive full-screen banners after updates that block use. Outages and slow support compound the frustration, with some noting deposit/refund problems. A minority recall it worked well initially, but current reviews focus on instability and obstructive UI changes.

### Pros

- Historically effective as a communication tool (with deposits functioning before recent updates).
- Deposit flow was easy to use for some users.
- Some users reported it worked well initially, indicating potential reliability when not affected by updates.

### Cons

- Frequent freezing/crashing and overall unresponsiveness.
- Messaging/notification failures, including missing or delayed messages.
- Intrusive full-screen banners/opt-in notices after updates that block use.
- Frequent outages or the app being down and unusable.
- Poor customer support and refund/deposit withdrawal issues.
