Including the text of the press release from CR, or even just a link to that press release would have been enough to at least get me to try the app.

But their landing page as I saw it was basically useless.

So, you're not the author are you? If so, then why would you hide your identity here?

No, and I’ve no relation to Consumer Reports. I’m not surprised you went for some weird attack there, sadly, after trying to find something wrong with a bog standard app explanation page.

But there was no explanation actually shown there. So there is no valid claim of a standard app explanation page.

Perhaps you saw a different page than I did, but there was nothing on the page that I saw that explained anything about the app itself or what it was supposed to do.

And there's nothing strange about asking someone if they happen to be the author when they are acting like a shill. When I am presented with a spade, I tend to call it a spade.

To be clear, here's a screenshot of the page I saw: https://imgur.com/a/pV4PdSv

What on this page do you find useful? What does this page look like on your device?
