Ratings and reviews

It continually marks junk files as files I have not used in a while. It should allow you to see what it's marking as junk so you can make a decision. second, as of newest update it refuses to back up mms, sms, call logs, saying I must go into app and approve back up. There is no setting for that in any of those apps nor in Us Cell Protect. Then it keeps sending me emails about the junk files for 2 years now. Please address the above issues.

Always keep my phone working properly and safe when I am in the public using the wifi available. Additionally, it let's me know when junk files need to be deleted off my device and I just love it! It also reminds me when I need to restart my phone as in these times and days all help is needed to staying safe and secured as available.

Until recently I never thought about this app.It was always working in the background .Then I got malware on my phone and I had to do a factory reset to remove the malware because the malware wasn't recognized by the app.and couldn't remove it. .Now that was done I tried to recover my backup data to restore.There wasn't any . The data that I backed up was deleted and there was no way to recover what I had backed up to the app. That being said, I was lucky I used Google to backup my data prior to all this.That is really the only problem I have had to deal with . I have had this app ever since it was available .Overall I would say this app performs better than the majority of security apps . There is Malware that will get by the best security software out there .So I will use this app for my phone security.
