Ratings and reviews

There is something seriously wrong with this app as it drains battery at a ridiculous rate. For example last night I went to sleep with my phone at just under 90% battery. When I awoke it was on 12%. In battery usage it stated that this app had used 78% of my battery. I don't know what this app is doing in the background but it needs to stop. It is also the highest data consuming app on my phone with just under 10gigs of data used over wifi just in the last 28 days. This seems like spyware.....

I just got a new phone which installed this app with it. It made it so I couldn't send any sms messages at all! I could still receive sms (about 10-15 minutes later than they actually sent it) but I could not send. After a few hours of digging I came to the conclusion that this app is what was causing me problems. I uninstalled it and my sms messages IMMEDIATELY started working again so I know for 100% that this app was at fault. I'd give O stars if I could! Glad to have it gone.

Look at it's permissions, very intrusive spyware. You have no control over this. You cannot disable it. For me, it constantly tries to connect to a carrier different from the one I have, takes over the phone and freezes it for 6 minutes, during this I can't even use my phone! I'm on day 2 now of it freezing my phone like this every few hours, for 6 minutes, all because I did a reboot. I go through this each time I do a reboot. Google needs to get it's act together.
