Ratings and reviews

I love all my Trend Micro apps except Scam check. App lags & crashes, adds the number 2 at the beginning of a new contacts phone number. Which I then end up sending messages to numbers that don't exist. You can't swipe messages to reply or add an emoji. Although the app does what it claims, the issues I'm having makes me want to go back to my default app and deal with all the spam. It's unfortunate that Scam check can't integrate with my previous message app. I'm using a Pixel 8.

I came across an emergency situation where I had to send a text message and call the police. Turns out this default message app doesn't have a function of sending a text message and it put the police officer message as spam and I missed out the message till much later. oh thank you very much, I'm glad I ended up staying alive. the first thing I went back to safety was to change the damn default message app back to the old one.

used this to filter out, by keyword, the 12+ political spams daily (merely blocking the # is pointless). Did that fine, dumping it all in a spam folder & having a 'delete all spam' button. but... -when I tried to get a msg from a dr office that'd NO keywords out of spam, it wouldn't -there's no 'flag ok and move'. -It broke up group msgs & stopped rcving them until I switched back. -U can't delete a batch from good msgs by selecting multiple. U select 1 @ a time, 3 steps each! willn't buy
