1★this no longer works. I've put myself personal information in several time & it tells me I'm wrong or that I ran out of log-ins after 1 try. I'm deleting this app.

1★this app tells you nothing, the website tells you the same thing and the phone number it tells you to call if its been over 30 days will not tell you anything different then the app or website. its a redundant waste of space and a waste of a job for someone to have made this app.
James Murphy
1★Doesn't work properly. I put in my info and it says it's wrong. Then it tells me my daily limit is reached. Never had these issues with this app before in the years I've used it. It's been a week and I haven't been able to check my status once yet.
