Ratings and reviews

Apparently it's finally been updated and working. People have been watching non-system apps for functionality. It's the System Apps that this App works with. It keeps an eye on your System making sure it still works cleanly. Without this, your System will be rough. Mine was for awhile. There WAS a period where this App was out of Sync. IF you don't watch the fast advances in your system , and keep a watch on This App, you won't know why things are a bit slow. Got it now?

Takes up too much space and no matter what you do, clearing the catche and the data, soon the app will take up 1 Gigabyte of space. Can't even access it to see what is taking up all the space. Takes up battery like a 15 Gigabyte app. Also doesn't allow you to uninstall or disable it if you want too even though you should be able to. Half of the positive reviews for this app are talking about an entirely different app.

Terrible. Since the last update it drains the battery, and makes my phone hot. It has prevented me from adding google accounts. Apps constantly crash. It also has randomly crashed the phone! I can't make calls or receive calls unless I restart the device. All these google apps collectively have made using my phone a living nightmare. Phones are not only a source of security but we use them essentially as our wallet and as our PII given that we use our numbers & push notifications to authorize.
