Ratings and reviews

Won't let me past "turn on notifications" screen. App is forcing me to turn them on. Why? What's so important that I need them on? I've read that your notifications are mainly trying to sell upgrades and act more like ads than actual notifications. What say you? Edit 1: I can't issue a ticket cause the app won't let me past the mandated notification setup. It wasn't updated per your reply. still forces one to allow notifications before moving forward. why can't y'all get this right?

Seems to be a good app but it is, for me awkward. It blocks program that are legitimate so I cannot use. I know there are "Allowed" list but to get the right name or url is not always easy, often I don't realize the reason I can't access an app or get to a website is because it's not in allowed list. I may not realize the reason until it's too late or it comes at inconvenient time. It would be nice if you could have a pop-up and say trust this yes & save or no, it needs simplifying.

I have always liked Malwarebytes. I have been lucky enough to never have viruses, malware or any other issues on my phone. I do wish the subscription for the protection of my identity was cheaper though. That's a lot of money for something in the digital age we all should have access too without forking out hundreds of dollars. I'm not talking free but give the small people a break. It's hard enough these days with the price of everything going crazy. I love it otherwise.
