Ratings and reviews

If you are here because you also were curious about that device protection thing yeah, there is no way to turn it off anymore. Can't force stop, clear cache or data won't do anything, "uninstalling" leaves the app there anyway. At most a factory reset and losing all of your data. Really Samsung, you can't just bait people to enable something and make it permanent.

Please bring back the previous Device Care widget layout. Before the update, the 4×1 widget displayed the full storage information (e.g., "50.3 GB / 128 GB"). Now it's unnecessarily truncated with "...", even though there seems to be enough space to show the full value. This is especially noticeable in Niagara Launcher. The old design was cleaner and more useful. Please restore it or give users the option to choose the old style.

This app is questionable at best. The "Allow install of UNKNOWN APPS" Tab is Stuck in "on" position with tab to turn this 'OFF' Is "grayed-out' to where it is unaccessible to me! Several Uninstalls/Reinstalls, have done not a thing to fix the app. and also app will not fully clear cache.. PLEASE FIX (Especially) THIS "self- permision" within your app! UNINSTALLING
