You could always click on the ":(" icon 3 times to add three exclamation marks to how you feel. Not quite as entertaining as an angry faced icon, but it's as close as you'll get. :) – Chris Thomson, on July 28, 2008 07:28

Also, we're working on a way for users to delete their accounts on the web without needing to log in. Sorry for the trouble. – Nick Sivo, on July 27, 2008 10:37

Hi Pooky, the messages you're talking about aren't an attempt to increase usage of the application, but rather a way to notify the owner of the phone that their location is being sent to Loopt. It's not always true that the person who installed Loopt is the owner of the phone. We care about the privacy and safety of our users, and are simply trying to do our best to offer a useful and safe service. – Nick Sivo, on July 27, 2008 10:35

...oh yeah - you are gonna need an angry faced icon on this site if you go on like this...

I'm completely and utterly pissed off at receiving txt messages from Loopt itself saying "hey just checking in" ..Well, stop it !! I'll use it if and when i want to ..Stop texting! .. I even uninstalled the damn app as it got so annoying .. Now I have no app and STILL get the damn text messages... last time ..STOP!

(and yes Sending Stop to the text messages gets you ANOTHER text message saying go to the web site - something about their privacy policy but nothing about canceling anything) _ then when you go you must have logged in to loopt on your phone or you cant get access to cancel anything .. Sheesh!!!

STOP STOP STOP..

Geddit?

You may STOP all SMS messages from Loopt by replying to any SMS with STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT. If you receive SMS invites from people you do not know or otherwise do not like, then replying to any invitation with these words will cease all future Loopt messages.

Loopt does not store users' address book information or use it to initiate messages itself. Messages relayed by Loopt are initiated by Loopt users who already have the recipients' contact information and never initiated by Loopt.

Please don't hesitate to contact us with further questions at support@loopt.com

For the love of God, can you give Loopt a chance to fix the issues before slamming the crap out of them again? If I have you right, then Loopt are a bunch of idiots if they have a problem, idiots if they state the problem and idiots if they fix the problem. I get your frustration, but don't get beating the crap out of them while they fix it.

Until our first iPhone application update comes out that's exactly what we've done, just more efficiently: if(true) { return; } See blog.loopt.com. – Nick Sivo, on July 17, 2008 05:12

Loopt - can you just add a regex that if a contact's mobile number matches ((\(\d{3}\)?)|(\d{3}))([\s-./]?)(\d{3})([\s-./]?)(\d{4}) your service won't contact them ?
