This sucks and I can't get rid of it. It has a horribly low quality lock screen. It is also very confusing and the wallpaper is awful 😥. I wish I could remove start, I was able to remove it for a couple minutes but then it came back. Without start I was so happy and my phone was clean and simple to use. I hate this app and I do not recommend it to anyone for any use at all this is a trap and it is absolute garbage.

Convenient access an edible or edibility is just fine but just like all apps on this blue Android prepaid straight talk unlimited monthlyanyways with that being said this model phone I don't think it's actually the PlayStore fault but every hour to an hour and a half every app needs to be updated in the PlayStore again after I update it! This has never happened on my other Samsung phones in the PlayStore why this model!?!

Still hate it! The thing I did was clear all data, uninstall updates, denied all the permissions and here in the app store, I disabled automatic updates!! I hope that way, the app won't be able to start anymore. This is the worst.
