Updater: Essential Moving App 4+

I can’t even tell you how useful and easy this app is. They’ve basically consolidated all you need to move in an incredibly user friendly interface. No having to do extra digging because the link provided doesn’t take you exactly where it says you would be. No more navigating multiple sites and trying to keep things organized.

And what’s more incredible, is that the app even provides specific-to-your-location information. For example, it provides different internet provider options based on where I’m moving and other people who have lived in my building. This gives me so much peace of mind, I can’t rave about it enough.

It’s that time again when I move out of an apartment and I start getting emails to sign up with updater. First of all, the emails are misleadingly titled confirm your move when in fact they are getting you to create an updater account and heaven help you if you start that process, I already got two emails today and unsubscribed twice. The arrangement seems similar to how apartments have a preferred insurance provider that costs a lot more than alternatives so I don’t expect good deals from updater and in fact the ones I’ve seen are inapplicable to me since all I need to do is turn off utilities and its faster to do that on the utility websites. By the way, it seems to me a privacy violation by the apartments when they hand out tenants information like this to other companies, probably for cash. Finally, I’m suspicious about the preponderance of five star ratings for this app considering the written reviews are more varied.

I had to leave a review as I saw another person had run into this issue. I was trying to set up an Internet service provider in the customer service representative was adamant That spectrum was the only option available. I felt pressured and any time I had a question or wanted more clarification The representative got upset and pressed me wanting me to complete the sale/transaction. I ended up just saying I’m sorry but I can’t do this at the moment and even then they continue to pressure me. “It’s almost done sir just complete it now!” I stuck my ground and told them no I can’t do this right now. Cancel the order. I’m so glad I did because I called Cincinnati Bell directly, and they said they do indeed service the building and I got a better price so why my representative at updater said they Do not, I do not know but I would never recommend the service.
