Ratings and reviews

User Interface is not user friendly but time consuming. Cannot find the cleaner, VPN.... Also, not able to check whether Anti-Theft is on or not... Also, not able to find anywhere where to apply the app-lock.... Everything happened so fast on its own during the installation that it created a doubt whether everything was installed correctly or not. No access to cross-verify whether all the features are installed or not.... Bitdefender at a lower price provides much better accessibility!! Regrets!

Pathetic experience! You don't have to start scanning all apps everytime the phone is plugged in. With heavy usage, I charge my phone at least 2-3 times a day, and boom, your scanning starts. Significantly slows down all other processes and the overall functioning of the phone. At least provide a disable or scheduling option for the scans.

Unable to login. It just doesn't go beyond the "Signing you in" screen. Also wonder why it opens Google Chrome everytime despite having another default browser. Have reset the app, cleared the data/cache, even uninstalled and reinstalled. But despite several repeated attempts, it doesn't go beyond the said screen. Customer service too couldn't resolve. Awaiting their resolution.
