Ratings and reviews

For something that is supposed to help my device performance, it sure as heck doesn't actually help anything. Like, you'd expect when you use it to "Clean storage," it'd clean every apps cache, but no, instead, you still have to go into every app on your phone and manually clear the cache, then go back into it to clear what you just did plus you could clean it four times and every time it'd clean the same four things which don't need to be cleaned since they are never used.

It supposed to clean sweep your caches and says your phone is optimized but if I tap down on the memory the memory screen pops up with bunch apps are waiting to be cleared and have not been clean sweep. Sometimes I will do 2 or 3 times after manually do it and go back to main part of app and touch memory again and more other apps pop up to be cleaned. Alot of times I manually have to go thru and clear the caches myself.

Device Care's updates generate notifications to check sleeping apps, only go away after restarting my phone. Anytime Google Play updates any app on my phone!! Also, after a Samsung Keyboard update I get notifications to select a default keyboard, and it's already set to Samsung Keyboard. See the pattern? I really do not like Samsung's apps or updates anymore. Oh, plus an app update broke WiFi Calling, and it took 3 months for another update to fix the previous update. Not a good track record.
