We felt this sting, we purchased the miku because of the monitering and now they want 10 bucks a month for what used to be included in the purchase of the device. Now all the features are blocked.

Can you return it? Or write thr company and request a refund?

This is a bait and switch, which a judge would award damages on if you bothered with a small claims filing.

If you used a credit card you should contest the charge on your card and throw the thing out.

You can get an old version of the software without the features blocked.
