Ratings and reviews

Wow!!! I dont review a lot of apps, but this one helped me so much!!! I've been getting pop ups for such a long time and it was so irking and annoying - but I didn't want to factory reset my phone, and then, I stumbled upon this app. As I went through the app's security concerns, I found an app with no name, icon or whatever. When I clicked on it, I saw a bunch of advertising companies and stuff. This app not only showed me where it was, but allowed me to directly access my settings so I could delete it. I am quite happy and pleased to say I haven't had any pop up ads since then. Seriously, great work. I dont know what I would've done without this app.

v3.3 appears to have fixed the crashing problem. The UI is totally different now. It seems straightforward, but not as robust; it feels like a lite version. Off the cuff, the grey color layout could use some tweaking in some areas. Need to update the app's description images on The Play Store.

Useless, Moderately Grey theme & Light Grey fonts, inconvenient in reading the app details ! need to improve the theme with contrast setting !
