Hi there — sorry again for the earlier issue with the app opening unexpectedly. That was fixed in a later update. Protexo recently moved to a subscription model to support ongoing development of our on-device security features, so a subscription is now required for all users.

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!

Thank you! We're glad Protexo is helping you stay safe. Yes, we're constantly improving detection accuracy and the speed of alerts to catch scams as quickly as possible. Voice message analysis is a great idea—though due to Android limitations, it's a bit tricky. Please send any additional feedback to feedback@protexo.ai. We appreciate your support!

We appreciate your feedback. For clarity: The paid version of Protexo is designed for automatic checking, and its size is roughly 1 GB due to the on-device AI (for preserving privacy) . The review seems to describe a different product. If you have any questions on how to get the paid version, please contact our email feedback@protexo.ai.
