Ratings and reviews

I like it super cool. I like how it has a scan to check your wifi and a scan for viruses.But but I feel it needs like a a scan for like spyware and all different stuff that the hackers do and a scan for when your phone starts acting funny. Cuza apps or whatever it may be, so you don't have to factory reset it all the time cuz. You know, if you can have food in a Safe mode and check for individual apps and stuff, you're screwed. When it happens, so I hope to see something like that in the future

Repeatedly signing back in. I don't get why now for the past couple of months its doing that. I sign-in and then it could be seconds or minutes or hours later it pops up and I'm asked to sign-in again. either I have to sign-in again or it keeps popping up and am unable to open/use apps because it keeps popping up. Otherwise I have to disable it.

I'm using the free version, and I'm about to remove the app as it's constantly running and draining my battery down. It's back to scanning screenshots as well. If the free version is this bad, why would I purchase the other plan? It's a very confusing app with all the ads that pop up. I'm afraid to press anything as I'm afraid it will sign me up for something I don't want.
