Collection of app usage data keeps being silently turned back on after I turn it off. Not sure if it is happening on every log in or every software update or on some other schedule. Not acceptable. You ought to seek permission to collect and use data that users don't explicitly give you through their use of the app before doing so, rather than defaulting to collecting it without notice, and there ought to be a simple way to have such collected data erased. | 07/30/2024 | |

Update: So, on further investigation, it looks like the new screen capture permission allows the app to detect whether the user has generated a screen capture of the app, but does not give the app access to the actual capture... so doesn't sound like a major privacy infringement. | 07/10/2024 | |

Version 7.64 has been silently (nothing mentioned in release notes - unless you consider it an 'improvement') been updated to give itself acess to AdId and AddSevices APIs and its data policy says it shares your email address with advertisers/marketers. I just want to pay for parking with cash directly, without provision of my personal data to third parties/advertisers being part of the deal. Uninstalling. | 06/12/2024 | |

Why does this app, which should allow me to control my lights, need to modify or delete the contents of my shared storage and record audio? Seems unnecessary and unrelated to purpose. I chose this app over other ones partly because of the few permissions required, but permission creep has set in and it's no longer the case. Lost control of my lights which show offline, and support claim signing in via a social account is necessary to diagnose and fix the issue. | 05/01/2024 | |

As is noted in point 1a of the new WiZ terms of use, which we must accept to use the app, it is important to understand them. However, at ~10,000 words, the May '23 version is the size of a short novel and I haven't got that long. It appears to be a massive change from the Nov '21 terms. Please can you summarise the key changes and reasons for them? (Wiz, please update your response.) | 07/03/2023 | |

Excellent lightweight viewer that doesn't suffer from permission creep and doesn't collect or share personal data. If only I could highlight and copy text (phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, account numbers, etc.) it would be perfect. To me, that's essential even in a lightweight viewer. | 10/20/2022 | |

The Oct 2021 update has broken this app. Microsoft Word documents (.docx) spend around 5 seconds loading... and then no content is displayed. I just get blank white screen. The Dec 2021 update has only made things worse, if that were even possible. When launched it says it is updating. After a delay it crashes. I've tried stopping the app, creating the app cache and data, and relaunching, but the and thing happens. It's sad, but this has become completely unusable for me. | 12/02/2021 | |

Still not possible to delete card details via the app. It insists in retaining them. If you deny access to location, it'll continuously prompt you for it on every page and action - whether it actually needs your location or not. Seems completely unnecessary. Not the most privacy focussed app ever. Shows little respect for user preference. | 07/05/2020 | |

Excellent lightweight viewer that doesn't suffer from permission creep. If only I could highlight and copy text (phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, account numbers, etc.) it would be perfect. To me, that's essential even in a lightweight viewer. | 09/06/2019 | |

I have been using and trusting this app to generate secure time-limited one-time passwords for years. However, the latest version has suffered permission creep, and can now read phone status and identity (and can read write to storage), neither of which are needed for my usage of it. I'm grateful to the response of the developer, who says this was a mistake. I'll await the update that revokes the new permissions. | 12/20/2018 | |

After previous complaints, Famly have been in contact with me, which is | 07/09/2018 | |

Glad you claim to be improving the app. Still waiting for the day some of | 06/19/2018 |
