AppChoices Reviews

Not functional

brandonc617

The app tells you to tap an “opt out of all” button that does not appear/is broken, making the app useless.

Plain doesn’t work

The app opens and shows lists of ad companies but all controls for opting out are grayed out.

Does not work loops indefinitely not clear or easy. Intended to disguise choices and obviate entire advertise purposes. We need strong federal privacy regulations now! This industry cannot be trusted to self regulate

App doesn’t work since last update

No longer working since last update

Ditto to { BATMAN }’s review of 3 yrs ago; Doesn’t Work!

When I opened the app and followed what seemed intuitive to opt out of one or all advertisers, I didn’t receive any feedback indicating the settings changed. At that point I (foolishly?) decided to read the instructions. It instructs to “simply move the switch from On to Off next to the advertising company you wish to opt out.” In my case, tapping the “digital switch” changes selection from On to Send, but nothing ever activates or verified anything being Sent. I then went to the Reviews to see if I am the only one having this issue, which would indicate to me that the problem is me and not with the app. I came upon a review written 3 yrs ago by {BATMAN} in which he writes, “...when you view the list of ad companies, and try and follow the instructions to opt out, the opt out button doesn't work. It just does nothing.” That states perfectly, my experience today as well. So much has changed in this world over the past 3 years, but this app becoming functional is not one of them.

Unclear, Confusing, Incorrect Instructions

The app provides in-app instructions which cannot be followed: it says to make certain selections which are not available. I found the app baffling and totally unusable. Don't waste your time with it.

Frustrating

I downloaded this app to opt out of targeted advertising. There are two lists available: one for CCPA advertisers and another called IBA providers. If your outside CA, the CCPA is irrelevant, so I understand, which is my case. So, the IBA is the list I care about. Both list of advertisers popped up just fine and I see very clearly those voyeurs jacking my info on the DL and bombing me relentlessly me with their crap. However, while I can see them, I can do nothing about it. The supposed option to turn them “off” is a myth. Clicking the “on” option merely takes me to a page that provides the miscreants website and company info. So, basically, I get to opt out of nothing.

This app doesn’t work as advertised

When I tap on a company’s status to turn it off, I don’t get a choice, just a brief description of the company and a web address. So, I guess I have to to each of the company’s website to opt out of advertising I never asked for and don’t want? The app doesn’t seem to have much of a reason to exist.

Don’t waste your time

Got this because Weather Channel sauce to get it (wanted to stop all the gross fake health ads that keep popping up). Worthless app. Won’t let you do anything.

Tracking Required???

You require me to consent to being tracked through the App?? No! How rude.
