The setup just freeze up. In my opinion just a wast of time and money. -- Dries F, 2024-10-29 ### ***** "Works perfectly" Contrary to all reviews i've read, my app works perfectly. I downloaded it, started the setup and immediately received the OTP, i even got to test it and I received a call from Netstar immediately. I'm happy with it😊 -- Charie😊, 2024-10-05 ### *---- "No OTP" I will be stopping my debit order for this service as I am yet to still receive my promised OTP. It makes me wonder what would happen if I needed the reaction team to assist me in a road side emergency. I will be cancelling my Netstar package and will go with another company. People dont waste your hard earned money. -- WGGair, 2024-09-14 ### *---- "NO OTP Received" Useless App isn’t safe to subscribe for this. OTP not received when trying to sign on a registered number. In case of emergency you will be left in danger. We subscribe today but we fail to receive OTP can’t pay for something that’s not working for me. -- Karel Sekgobela, 2024-06-10 ### *---- "Poorly developed app" When you exit the app your “profile” expires. So if there is an emergency, you would have to sign up every time? Quite useless.. -- Netstar customer, 2024-02-08 ### *---- "No OTP" I have registered online, received an confirmation email and SMS and downloaded the App from the Apple Store. Even after trying to register more than 10x with my cel number I still have not received an OTP as indicated on the App to complete my registration. Very frustrating!!!! -- swoos1, 2023-11-23 ### *---- "DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY" I have been subscribed to this application for months. At a time of emergency i needed to use it and i logged on the app and it required an OTP i waited for hours for the app to send me an OTP with no luck. I tried calling and still couldn’t get assistance!! -- Ka1357763, 2023-05-12 [View all Netstar Companion reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Netstar Companion Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | South Africa | Utilities | #341 | ## Netstar Companion Discovered Keywords - emergency - medical companion - netstar companion ## Netstar Companion Available In - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/south-africa) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/poland) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/argentina) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/austria) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/australia) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/azerbaijan) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/belgium) - [Bulgaria](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/bulgaria) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/brazil) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/belarus) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/canada) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/switzerland) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/chile) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/china) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/colombia) - [Cyprus](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/cyprus) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/czechia) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/germany) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/denmark) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/ecuador) - [Estonia](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/estonia) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/egypt) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/finland) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/france) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/united-kingdom) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/greece) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/hong-kong) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/hungary) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/indonesia) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/ireland) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/india) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/italy) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/japan) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/south-korea) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/kazakhstan) - [Madagascar](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/madagascar) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/mexico) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/nigeria) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/netherlands) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/norway) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/philippines) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/pakistan) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/portugal) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/russia) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/sweden) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/united-arab-emirates) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/thailand) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/turkey) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/taiwan) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/ukraine) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/united-states) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/vietnam) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/singapore) - [Armenia](https://apptail.io/app/netstar-companion-xBhd/armenia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
