Comments on Lock & Alert™ for Android

★★★★★ GREAT APP. but I cannot SIGN-IN... I know my PASSWORD, I don't have TIME to FIX-IT sooo- I QUIT... G'bye
★★★★★ So far so good, for my on experience, it was easy to sign up and easy to download the app. I've been able to easily unlock and Lock my credit report with no issues. I receive an email immediately acknowledging that my credit report has been locked or unlocked.
★★★★★ Simple to use. Would love a temporary lift feature like TransUnion. But at least you can lock from the app, unlike Experian.
★★☆☆☆ app is a scam. you get all the way through and they send you a code and tye whole process goes away and you have to restart. gives you a number to call and that leads nowhere. just go directly to the website
★★☆☆☆ Y ccx uh v OK b unm v unm vfc um v yyhg DC I'm h OK h unm DC ttb d um g I'm g I'm vee unm d unm f I'm him g I'm f km f in f in f I'm grim t I'm t I'm tg om htt om y om h I'm g I'm y I'm HD in f in f km c I'm g ohm GB om h om g om g I'm g in groin tdd unm Dunn d hn d in FCC in f in f in fa ung d unm f in Fee in f iron f in f ohm c.

★★☆☆☆ I should have read the previous reviews. The app is worthless as I cannot log in to it. Equifax works fine on their website from my laptop using the same information input as in the app. Don't bother with downloading it.
★★☆☆☆ I installed this app three months ago and have been unable to use it. Every time I attempt to sign into Lock & Alert, I receive an error message that asks me to call Equifax customer service for assistance. I've called four times over a period of about three months and was told that the Equifax technical department is working on whatever problem is preventing me from signing into the app. Today, I called for the fifth time to report the same problem and ask about the pending resolution. This time, an honest Equifax customer-service rep admitted the app is worthless and suggested that I uninstall it. He said there is no resolution available for my problem and recommended using my smartphone's browser and the Equifax website to manage my credit report. That's what I'm going to do. So, if you're having issues with the Equifax Lock & Alert app, you're not alone.
