Ratings and reviews

App opens randomly and frequently... uninstalled Ok, u said it was updated... yea, nice...😐 make us PAY after a 1 week trial...!!!🤬 Uninstalled AGAIN!!!👿

This app is awesome. Super helpful with spotting scams which are getting harder to catch. Setup was quick and it runs in the background without slowing down my phone. It worked with all my main messaging apps and already flagged a few scam texts. There were some false positives at first, but it keeps getting better with the updates. I was worried about privacy, but it's good to know everything is processed in the phone locally. Would love voice message analysis in the future. Great app overall!

I’m glad there’s an app that is helping me detect spam but at the same time keeps my data local. However, there is room for improvement with the detection and timing of the alerts.
