I wish I could read messages without paying for a membership. However, this is still a great website.

It's a pain to pay only for messages. But otherwise no problems.

Not easy to use and no clear directions. Would prefer more information about the service before being prompted to pay for it.

Your site administrator needs to be fired. Extensive issues withh your site, and changing your prices for the app version is crap. It should be the same price as online version which it was $24.95 on the app version before. Plus your bugs, malware, viruses is giving customers problems with using your site.

I want a $7.95 subscription but have to authorize a $25 renewal. It makes no sense and now I have to add one more thing to do --cancel.

Well, it's so tough out there right now what with the covid and everything. I hav e been vaccinated 2 times and feel great about all it does. I see the gyms are opening up ( thank God) so maybe the housing will too. It's just been so frustrating so far. I am a great, fun, clean to a fault GWM and I hear from nobody. Why? Can't tell you. I don't run long on the texts cause they get redundant and boring so I try to keep it inviting. I hope to hear from
someone in my price range 500-550. So we'll see. Thanks here *******295
