- jwilliams 9y agoI feel for them having to deal with SF regulations - so no beef there. My main niggle is a UX one. They really need to communicate the coverage in the signup process (especially if you're outside it when you sign up). To their supreme credit - I contacted support asking clarification. They got back to me with an answer in minutes. Plus they refunded my initial payment.
