Permission Slip by CR for Negative User Reviews

✓ A little buggy and time consuming but I like the ideaProps to the developer for responding to my original review and addressing my concerns. It’s a little cumbersome to navigate to figure out, but the underlying idea is great and I trust CR with my data so giving it a shot. Aside from the time it takes to setup and send requests, I don’t see much of a downside..SethingtonVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Won’t Verify via emailLoaded the app on my iPhone 14 pro, but it got stuck during the setup saying it sent an email to me to verify. No email showed up anywhere (spam, junk, etc) and I tried resending an email a dozen times. I could not complete the app setup. Deleted it and will try in a week or so when they’ve hopefully fixed this issue..KuhihfsVersion: 1.2.0

✓ If you use multiple email addresses, this leaks those addressesUnfortunately the app submits all of the email addresses you supply with every request you make. The goal is understandable (to increase the chance that the recipient will find your account), but it gives the target company valuable personal info which they didn't previously have. For privacy and security reasons I use a custom email address for every account (easy if you have a catch-all address), so it is at best pointless to submit all those addresses with every request. At worst it allows the receiving company to cross-reference those addresses and learn more about me from and of my personal information that they've acquired elsewhere, but which they didn't previously know belonged to me. Request: please let me specify which email address(es) to submit with each request. Don't make me enter all the addresses in advance, and don't automatically save the address because that would just mean I have to tediously delete it every time..NdruVersion: 1.0

✓ Multiple email addresses problemGreat idea but I second the reviewer who points out that sending a bundle of my email addresses together is actually the opposite of helpful if (when) the receiver combines the addresses into one identity. The solution seems simple though: Send each address independently, as if a separate person is sending, rather than "bundled" as a single request..DtoydVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Able to sign in nowUpdated…I’m able to sign into the app now. Seems straightforward. A lot of sites only offer the option to delete your data and account. Finally found an site that provides the option not to sell my data in addition to deleting my account. I’ve made the request not to sell so we’ll see how it goes. Tried several times today to create an account. The app just returned me to the same page. Now I try to create an account this evening and it says there’s already one there with my email. I select the option to reset my password, I get the email. Click the link and reset my password. Try and log in again and “An error has occurred”. Tried the password reset twice now with the same results..Rh3662aVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Doesn’t work on iPhone SE iOS 16This probably isn’t great for mobile anyway — way too much typing — but the UI is so broken, I can’t enter my address or even send feedback without extremely stupid workarounds to get to the submit button. Since I couldn’t get it to accept my address (after the stupid state drop-down, the screen just disappeared), I have no idea how well it works or if they fixed the multiple email address thing. The app has probably the best privacy policy I’ve seen in decades of reviewing privacy policies, but it doesn’t work..DaedalaVersion: 1.2.0

✓ App does not work on new iPhone iOSDownloaded this app today and it does not work. Had to sign up a second time with a different email as first one I couldn’t get past the What state do you live in ? screen and after I signed out, I could never log back in, get an error message or a screen freeze. I got in on the second try, setting up new account with another email but my home screen is blank, won’t set up Auto Requests, won’t save additional email addresses (get an error message with a weird header screen) and generally won’t function. I have done the user agreement, authorization, phone, primary email address and legal name Auto and Home are blank with a faint spinning ball. Requests says to get swiping but nothing happens when you swipe I’m assuming its an Apple issue but at the moment this app is non-functioning..CoreyRoVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Beware of Permission Slip App: My Nightmare Experience and Warning to OthersI am writing this review to warn you about the dangers of using this app. I made the mistake of assuming it would only delete my saved data from certain companies, but instead it erased my entire account details and left me with a nightmare of a situation. This app has caused me so many problems and headaches. I thought it would be similar to the privacy app Jumbo, which does an amazing job at explaining why it matters to control your data privacy and walks you through each step. Unfortunately, Permission Slip did not do a great job of highlighting the potential impacts of assuming it's only going to delete your saved data from certain companies. It completely deletes all your account details and erases your account completely. The app claims that you can revoke its ability to close your accounts, but when I tried to find that capability, it was nowhere to be found. I even wrote an email to the company, but received no response back. This app is full of dark patterns and now I'm worried about all of my accounts, including others they intend to support like Apple, Google, and even cell phone carriers. I highly advise against using this app and wished I never had used it in the first place. Please be cautious and don't blindly trust this app, even though it's "powered by consumer reports.QdsgnVersion: 1.0.5

✓ Non-functionalInstalled and going through setup. App instructs you to click a link allowing them to sned you info in an e-mail they send. Received the e-mail. There is no such link, only the ability to download the app - which I've already done. When I click "Resend e-mail" to try again - absolutely nothing happens. I don't think this app has been thoroughly debugged for iOS. Just couldn’t make it work..FeelslikefarVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Let me know when the app actually works.I never leave reviews on apps but this is one that I downloaded today. I’ve tried to create an account and it tells me that I have one already. I changed my password and it still won’t allow me to login and explore what the app is purported to do. Zero stars. Let me know when the bugs are fixed and I may try again..Frustrated Lexus OwnerVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Unable to log inTried using my Apple acct, my Google acct, and even created a new account with an email and password. None of it worked. I am going to uninstall and try again in a few months when they work out the bugs..SoozR703Version: 1.2.0

✓ Good Idea but it will not workTried installing this several times with no luck. Screens froze and no confirmatory email was ever sent to activate account. That makes me wonder just what is going on and can I trust them as before account activation they say they need all this private info-phone number, street address and any and all email addresses. And this is before account is active. Why not afterwards? I used a "hide my email" so if my email gets sold I will know who sold it..George OrrVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Sounded great on paper, not in practiceThe app asks way too much info, and that is for each company… by submitting requested info, you actually increase additional risk of your data being sold or leaked. Wish there is an app that can search the internet, let you know which companies have you data by your email address. Let you decide which company’s account you want to delete. And the app does the rest, with updates and confirmation, etc. For me the current design of this app is clunky and ineffective.Not trilleredVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Broken product for multiple email addressesSimilar to some other reviewers, I use unique emails for each service and want to continue this compartmentalization. The way PS handles multiple emails breaks this and makes such users worse off in terms of privacy. This is a CRITICAL BUG and in my opinion violates Apple’s data privacy rules..IlanukiVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Account statusThis process is somewhat confusing. If I had an account but it is no longer active, the company may still have my data if I did business with them in the past & May sell the information. This app only seems to apply to current active “accounts” Is this correct? Kathy van Hook.Kathy & AndyVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Haven’t seen any improvements yetWhile I appreciate all the time and work invested in this app and the concept, it just continues to not function in certain areas, even months later. Why aren’t the reported bugs getting fixed? When swiping a company left or right, there are other options displayed on the screen that simply don’t work. You try to Hide a company (because menstrual products are not relevant), but it does not work. You tap the section to go back to the previous item, but it does nothing. Those are just the most obvious ones..TravyBabyVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Cannot sign upI’m trying to sign up to use this app with my google account, however it does nothing when I go through the process of creating an account. After I verify that I’m using my google account it goes back to the main screen and nothing happens. It seems to be an issue from the start..Ttay8603Version: 1.2.1

✓ TediousFirst time using the app. Takes a long time to change screens when browsing through the companies. Also now screen is frozen on the auto requests function. Can’t get back to home and the drop down menu isn’t working..MegratmmkVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Account issuesI can’t login using my existing Consumer Reports account. When I try to ask for an email to reset my password, the app goes to a small box with no text, no way to type, no way to move forward. The same thing happens when I close the app, reopen and try to create a new account (at the point where I go to submit the login credentials.) This app as it stands is unusable on my iPhone 13. I may try again in a few days, hopefully there’ll be an update to fix broken functionality..PeeeeeanutVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Spam galore!The other day I installed this app. Should be good, right? It's from Consumers Reports. The email address for the account was my Apple account email. I never get spam in that account, and I use it a lot. Then yesterday about 49 emails arrived that Gmail wisely spotted as spam, with the app name as sender. A few more today. I removed the app and set a filter to delete any email with this sender's name in the text. Serious mistake on my part. YMMV..CjthelderVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Logging inI set up an account and contacted my companies to either delete my information, or ‘Do not sell my Information. Today, however, I am unable to log into my account. It gives me an error, and will not let me reset my password. I am getting follow-up emails from the companies that I notified. Weird..Cjpugh63Version: 1.0.5

✓ A few bugsI was unable to sign in. After using Apple to “sign in” it took me back to the log in page. Creating an account didn’t work either. A nice idea, but didn’t work for me..IpreferburlivesVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Nice idea bad executionI download this because of the good review in the Washington Post, but it’s proving to be very difficult to set up an account. The app also does not play well with apples keychain, so this means that things that should fill automatically have to be typed over and over again. Even after setting up an account and logging in it just freezes and doesn’t go anywhere. It certainly doesn’t make me confident that I would depend on it for accessing many accounts, which are actually important, even if they are sharing too much data. Why should I have any confidence that it will behave properly?.SurubimVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Very buggy app.I have tried downloading this app several times. First I tried, as the app suggests, to use Apple to login. That was repeated several times to no avail. Then I tried using my email, as the app suggests, and it caused the app to crash. When I finally was able to login, the app simply stalled and wouldn’t load the companies it’s supposed to manage. A waste of time..Oldguy73Version: 1.2.0

✓ Can’t even opt out of consumer reports trackingThis app is built by consumer reports. If you use it to opt out of consumer reports tracking, days later you’ll receive an automated reply from CR saying that they can’t honor the request and send new instruction. If this app doesn’t even work with its parent company why should I expect it to work with anything else?.AnnoyedLJDVersion: 1.0.2

✓ UnusableThe idea is fantastic. Sadly, the app is so glitchy as to be virtually unusable. It also never asked for my name and phone number when setting up the account, then told me I would have to contact customer support to "change" my name from "-" to my actual name. Same for my phone number. I'll gladly revisit if the app is fixed, but currently it does not work..User77409Version: 1.2.0

✓ Does not workTried to sign in with my google account, it kept telling me wrong password - then I requested to reset the password. Reset the password within 10 min - website tells me my password reset request is more than three days old. If it’s so glitchy that I can’t even set up an account, are they really going to be effective with their service?.Jess124456789Version: 1.2.1
