This came installed with my phone. So far I'm impressed with it. I will update this after some more time as passed. I've come to depend on Pocket Geek to keep my phone up to date and it hasn't disappointed me. It checks everything. I love the diagnostics including the speed check for the wi-fi. An all around excellent app. I will use this on any new phone I get.

I like the ease of use & the organizational structure however, I feel that there is a bit of false advertising in the fact of how they promote the support. It's promoted as though there is this advanced tech support capable of handling issue under many categories & in truth, they are nothing more than a call center reading from a "help section" that is available to everyone. This is derived from multiple contacts with said Tech Support.

I use Norton 360 and so I thought Pocket Geek App was conflicting with it. So I un-installed it! To My Surprise Here it is again in My "Unused Apps" It doesn't show it in My App Pages.. But there it is , showing up as an Unused App. Why is it doing this & is it going to conflict with Norton 360? Best Regards Galaxy Ultra22 User!

Pocket Geek Mobile will not conflict with Norton 360. It is likely showing up as an 'unused app' due to your device settings. I would recommended connecting with a Personal TechPro agent in the Pocket Geek Mobile app, and they will be able to provide assistance with fixing the issue :)
