Love mine! Freaked out when it disappeared from my home page. Finally Uninstalled it and Installed it, and had to unlock my home page. Last. had to move it from the 2nd page back to the top line of the first page, which was unbelievably difficult! Everything is copecetic, now!

The application is very good, convenient, and compatible with most phones. The only problem is the ON and OFF colours of the application. It will be EXCELLENT if the RED becomes an indicator for ON instead of OFF.

The equivalent of a dead silent Uber ride. Zero shady permissions to steal your info, zero ads (that I saw), and there's barely even an app. Just a pop-up to enable the button on your home screen. Best thing I've ever downloaded.
