Ratings and reviews

Bought the premium version as I have a hacker attacking my phones, tablets. Figured if anything it would keep them from opening and using my apps with the app lock feature..... Well it didn't take them long to show me that the app lock feature is absolutely useless. Even with a fresh factory reset, fresh install and all security locks in place (Finger print, etc) , they are able to access everything on it. Only thing it does is send a notification that lets me know they have been on it.

Was 5 stars. Call blocker has stopped working - again. One of the major reasons, but not the only one, that I keep renewing this every year is because of the usually excellent call blocking. But lately it has become unreliable, allowing multiple scam calls to get through. I've tried force stopping, clearing cache, checking settings including battery optimization, and I can't figure out what's wrong. Will uninstall and reinstall to see what happens.

~It seemed aggravating at first, but the frequent reminders and notices are important, in order to fine-tune and get your device stable with this mobile security app. but now I hardly ever get a notice, because I'm running a clean machine Android phone now LOL, but yes seriously, it is worth the $18 a year. kind of like phone insurance, so you don't end up with a useless doorstop for a phone! I am a cheap bastard, but this app is definitely worth the small yearly subscription fee!
