Web surfers who click on the 'Add to Chrome' button are shown a message box saying that the Directions Express app requires the following privileges:
- Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
- Manage your apps, extensions, and themes.
You should take into consideration that the Directions Express app may change your primary search provider and new tab page to Search.searchdirex.com. The Directions Express extension may read your browsing history and software configuration to help affiliated marketers push related marketing offers to your screen whenever you visit Search.searchdirex.com and sponsored pages. The Directions Express app may provide you with useful search results via Yahoo and help you load resources on the Here Maps platform, which is an alternative to Google Maps. The Directions Express app is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which is developed with the support of advertisers and may deliver targeted ads on your screen.
You might want to take into consideration that Directions Express may block third-party extensions like the uBlock Origin that aim to suppress commercial materials on your screen. Additionally, Directions Express has clones on plantransit.com, transitplanner.online, maps.express and easy-to-use-directions.com, which refer to apps named Easy To Use Directions, Plan Transit, Mapps.Express and Transit Planner. Polarity Technologies Ltd. creates the app, and it is distributed by Eightpoint Technologies Ltd. to users. The questionable development decisions and abundance of advertisements with products by Polarity Technologies Ltd. may be a cause for users to reconsider installing Directions Express. You can purge all traces of the Directions Express app by using a reliable anti-malware scanner.
