Subscription CodeUnable to download due to never receiving subscription code. Support was unable to assist.

App won’t come up.When I go into app it just shows like it’s still trying to install. Tried several times and nothing happens. So canceled.

Notification mayhemThe app shows I have 4 notifications. When I open the app, I’m all clear - no alerts, no messages, nothing. Security is important. False alarms are annoying.
