    Wow 4 pages in and i am surprised that noone has mentioned the information in their T&Cs which states what information they will take from your phone including monitoring your calls and using the numbers you dial and receive calls from!

    I passed on this one.


    Thank you for this advice - I have uninstalled the app and didn't buy the chocolates! Not worth it!

    Exactly what everyone's been saying - tried last night, tried this morning, tried just now - NO USE! Crappy app, and dubious too...

    Just to warn everyone that i've just checked on this company's website and everyone that registers will have their credit files checked!!

    At Simply Tap™, we take security very seriously. When you register with us, we run a silent verification on the details you have provided with a credit reference bureau. Unfortunately, if your details do not match what is on file, then we cannot offer you an account at this time. For assistance with this please visit www.Equifax.co.uk.

    it sounds like this is simply a method of verifying the registrants name and address match. obviously they need to do this with a product registered on a mobile phone to prevent fraud or identity theft.

    they ran a simlar promo to launch the app before easter and sold £14.99 thorntons easter eggs for 1p on another site loads of people were very happy with there service sadly i missed out on it
    so i registered this time and had the same problems people are saying about my card not being recognized and gave up but then i checked my emails and found the varify email which i did then the order for my 60p chocs went through fine
    as someone else said you would be surprised no matter how carefuly you think you are with your details several big named and trusted sites and shops take, keep and use your details everyday and do checks on you and its nothing sinister

    Well I thought this soundly totally implausible, so I googled......

    So I apologise for being a doubter glitter, you have a point :o

    App removed.
