Blood and WaterExcellent
FOLLOW OVER AND OVERI’ve been following the Kevin Kitzman has issues since it began, and without fail, I am constantly having to re-follow it like this app forgets that I’m even following it. It’s ridiculous. Also, more than half the time this app does not interact well with Apple CarPlay.
It’s a trap!I signed up for the free trial. Afterward, I attempted to cancel the subscription because I knew I wouldn’t use it much to justify paying for it. I have requested to cancel multiple times now, and still no response from their customer service. It’s 4 months later and they’re still charging my credit…
