Another app that claims to be able to save your bacon by moving things off your internal storage to your SD card which for many means that little dude you paid big bucks for that ends up with almost nothing stored on it.  Few of them actually live up to that (actually I've found none) perception and what they really mean when they say external (suggests that 'option' card you were sold or bought on your own initiative thinking 'external') when what it really means in most cases is the other half of the internal NAND that is offered as storage accessible by the 'user' and not for the 'system' itself. At any rate that's just part of the game I suppose but this one gets annoying saying it can and will move just about anything when the reality proves to be quite the opposite.  After you've taken the time to respond to its annoying notificatios you find that it can't do what it just told you it could.  Not alone in that for sure, but it simply isn't able, and not just because it can't do it, but the system or the developer restricts it in reality.  Like in other areas of life boastful claims rarely manage to meet reality.

I know what you're thinking...I've seen this done before, I don't need to go to the website and watch the directions. Trust me, you'll skip a step and you'll regret it. Still, it's a great product.

Sure thing. Pretty effortless. Payment information, tracking, guarantee...nice way to do business.

Not a bad price for HARD WARE protection, but here's my problem: when most of us buy a protection plan, we expect you to help us TROUBLE SHOOT a problem when it occurs to find out what is specifically wrong with the product - right?  Well, I was told today that 'IF IT'S A SOFTWARE PROBLEM", the warranty doesn't cover it.  So - if I send in my Computer to be repaired, they might send it back - AS IS - WITH my software problem STILL THERE.  NOW, they DO have someone who can help me for an additional $49 - $99 dollars - as long as I call between the hours of 8am - 5pm.  Why not let us know THAT DETAIL up front.  If it cost more for Software help - offer a plan that covers that and EXTEND YOUR HOURS.  Now, to be fair - I was told the EXACT same thing by Best Buy's Geek Squad - EXCEPT THEY DO HAVE EXTENDED HOURS - SO I guess it's an universal scam going on right now.  Again - the price isn't bad for hard ware warranty.  My only problem is they should CLEARLY state this in the beginning, AND offer you SOFTWARE HELP options!

I was thrilled to get this so fast...top service..
just a very lousy product these days...I tried to replace my a/v program that came with my computer..A/V by McAfee..added by HP Computers...warranty a yr. So, no recourse.  I purchased the "renewal" product offered by these two "reputable" companies, going thru Paypal, which I've used for yrs.  Now, however, none of these corps are our old reliables, it seems, anymore.  So, I ended up ordering a replacement, from Amazon, as my A/V program was nearing expiration...and was so happy that I got it so fast...only to have McAfee give me another dud I couldn't use.  So, sellers, don't sell McAfee A/V programs anymore.  I'm out all the money for the original's replacement, thru Paypal..they don't refund..had to hassle with their vendor's (McAfee) voicemail with no results.  I don't fault Amazon or their seller..they were duped by McAfee, just as I was...and, maybe even HP, too.  I expect to see that McAfee's gone bust, unless they're pawning off all their trash on the computer makers..and causing more problems, like mine, for others.  No accountability.  I've had problems with Amazon's checkout process..the one-click thing..again..because I'm a rural customer with a P.O. Address as well as a physical address..where we don't get home delivery by the post office.  So, it would be great it the sellers would make it clear, BEFORE we attempt to order from them, that they don't "do" post office deliveries.  People, hold each other accountable and keep your customers happy?  Thanks.

I won't waste my time going into reviewing the interface quality for a program at this price point; let's just say there is more to be desired.  What I am writing about today is about the quality of customer service you can expect from this company.  They tout themselves as Christians but are more like thieves.  Whenever you purchase software you are in essence licensing the software itself not the media on which it is printed.  I had just purchased this product and had accidently scratched the CD shortly after opening it (accidents happen).  I called the company and was able to produce the receipt proving that I had just purchased their product, I also told them the truth about what had happened (I wish I would have lied at this point).  I was told that they had to charge me almost the full price of the CD to replace it!  I was shocked!!!!  I told them that I purchased the content on the CD and not the CD itself and that I did not mind paying a processing fee for a new one but that cost should be minimal.  They forwarded my call to a manager who ended up calling me a day later to tell me that they would have to charge the full replacement price for the CD.  I told them that this was the last year my child would be using their product and I would let everyone else know what kind of service they offer.  I do not recommend doing business with a company whose only goal is scrape every penny from your bank account.  Christians?  Yea Right!!!

If I buy the same named product, I expect the same consistent features. I shouldn't need to check the feature list to see if it has been crippled to gouge more money. I don't expect to be charged 80% more for an upgrade to fill out basic forms.

I have been a loyal customer since the first release of TurboTax. Last year was the first time I had to use an accountant for my taxes to handle complexities, but I came right back to TurboTax this year. With nothing to import, I had to start the program fresh, and this was not a good experience. It was constantly trying to sell me add-on services. TurboTax did not even request basic critical information from my previous return - I had to enter last year's tax manually on the appropriate form to prevent an underpayment penalty. All the while it was trumpeting how it was doing such a great job of finding every deduction and error. A hollow promise lined with greed. Then the last straw, it refused to allow me to file Schedules D and required an upgrade. I couldn't even access the forms manually.

In all of their products Intuit seems to be concentrating on how to charge you more rather than improving products and performance. Not only that, they actively lobby against taxpayers at the federal level (opposing free filing for example) and have been accused of willfully allowing fraudulent returns to boost their revenue. See the Wikipedia article about TurboTax for more details. I have no desire to support this kind of activity.

After researching alternatives and reviews, H&R Block Deluxe + State is less expensive than TurboTax and gets excellent reviews. It also directly imports your TurboTax file, so there is little pain to switch.

I wish I had known this and switched before starting my return this year.

Following directions on HP setup, I was directer to HP support website.  There I am handed off to, unbeknown to me, a third party.  This third party starts setup and all goes well until I am told there is an issue with my computer.  For $199.99, they will stay on the line and fix the issue thru their technical support.
Keep in mind I am just changing printer/scanner to all-in-one machine. ..... BOTH HP......
This is the worst scam I have ever seen on Amazon or by HP.
SIMPLY DEPLORABLE.
I know I could have just said No, but then would be without a Fax, printer etc for a day or two.

I'm not one for conspiracy theory but I couldn't find any issues with this product. ;)

Careful!  If something is too good to be true, it very likely is not true.

Okay, you get a sim card in the mail, then what?  You follow the instructions and go to the H2O web site, but you cannot buy anything.  So, you set up an account, as they request, thinking this will solve the problem, no dice!  Then, you use live chat, one of the least functional live chat systems to be found online.  The "agent" is #27, no real name.  He is in a hurry to get rid of you and tells you to go to Best Buy or some other store.  So, it being late, one calls customer service, gets put on hold to the most terrible music, totally distorted sound that is absolutely agonizing.  Then, you are automatically switched to another hold, different music, not quite as distorted but still horrible on the nerves.  Someone with a very difficult accent asks you for a pin, scratch something to see a pin.  There is no place with that description, nothing to scratch.  She says, "Sorry, you need a pin or I cannot help you. Have a nice evening, bye!"

Hours later, you are questioning the wisdom of a one cent purchase.  I started this quest at Office Max and gave up because no one in the store could answer questions about international calls.  Tomorrow, I will go to Best Buy and if they recommend something other than H2O, all I have lost is a penny, but the seller has lost a customer and his postage.  Forget about this sim is my advice.

Updates:

After getting a $30 plan from Best Buy, I still could not activate the phone.  After hours of trying, I managed to register the phone but it did not work.  After trying two more times and finally getting a response on H2O's chat, he said the phone was now properly activated and the plan was valid until 2/27/2014.  However, the phone still does not work.  Those calling in get a message that the voicemail has not been set up.  To activate voicemail, you have to dial a number and listen to instructions.  If you dial that number, a recording says the account has to be recharged.

If you then go online to check the balance, it tells me that number appears not to belong to their system.  If my friend checks the same online source, it says the balance is zero.

If every customer goes through this, the company would surely be out of business in no time or laughing all the way to the bank since they are conning people with sims that do not meet the minimum standard of usefulness.

Update: 19 June 2015

After two more days of trying to get this card working, I sent three emails to tech support, no response.  I just got off chat.  They say the number does not belong to their system, that the only solution is to buy a new sim card.  This cannot be done via their site.  You see order pages with options but the purchase cannot be completed because these are not available.

In short, one would have to buy another sim, buy another worthless temporary plan, and loop around again, probably with the same outcome.  I stand by my earlier statement:  Do not start here.  Try very hard to find a better solution with better customer service.

I ordered from their web site. I kept getting asked if I wanted a second screen for just the cost of processing and handling. I said no. We have one door that needs a screen and no friends or family that needs one. Imagine my delight when I completed the order after repeatedly saying NO NO NO and my processing and handling was $15.90 for ONE. I called immediately and was told my order 'wasn't in the system' yet and to call back in three or four hours. I called back the following day and was told the same thing, only that it now took up to 24 hours to get 'in the system', despite having received email confirmation showing my name, address, order number, and credit card info. How did all that get 'into the system'? Then I noticed we needed to allow 2 to 6 weeks for delivery. My wife called and cancelled on 5/21/12, but when she asked for a cancellation number, the connection for inexplicably lost. I wouldn't be surprised to have it arrive at my door and on my credit card despite all efforts to cancel. I'd avoid these people like the plague.

Well since I've only had the item for literally 1 day and being asked to leave a review........it will be as simple as it comes. Item as described. Boxed and shipped appropriately. That's all I have. NO stars would be more fair. One star is untrue. Five stars is in-warranted at this time.

First, this is a nice CO Detector.  Nothing special or fancy, but seems well built & was easy to install.  Second, read the seller reviews before you buy.  I didn't, and I got stung by Fat Boy Tools. The item was held by the USPS for postage due.  Now, you may say, OK that's an honest mistake, but look at how many transactions they do.  They KNOW how much it costs to ship these things.  I went back and looked, and I am not the first person this has happened to.  They're scamming people with their "free shipping", knowing most people will not be angry enough to do anything about it.

This was a nice add-on to a friend's trip...but she was going to spend $1800+/- on Air BB, and I wanted to give her $400 worth. NO WAY with these guys. You have to join their social network if you want more. I thought at first this is a 'come on'....like giving a $10 gas coupon so the person will come in and fill-up the tank and buy sodas, too. After reading reviews, though.. methinks the reason is, they want to 'vet' all customers, and will not allow a back door in for 'unwanted' ppl who insist that they have enough gift cards to cover the stay. I see their complaints are mostly about people arriving and being told they are not getting their stay for one reason or another. After seeing the social network aspect, I think the property owner went on their Facebook, and deemed them 'unfit' to stay at their house. I know there are two sides to this story...but vet the person coming - not me! I do not want to join your social network, okay?

They removed the privacy feature from their product suddenly and without notice.

I asked them what had happened, and they told me that it was superfluous because web browsers incorporated this functionality.

I told them that since I use multiple browsers, the privacy feature was not superfluous to me. Since this feature required no further development, and no ongoing updates, there was no reason to remove it.

They replied, basically, T.S., and refused to refund my money.

IMHO, this is equivalent to false advertising, because I bought the product based on features that they removed from the product for no reason -- and I don't patronize companies that pull a bait-and-switch like this.

Caveat emptor.
