Great app. The only downside is that for the keyword blocking it blocks the screen without even typing the blacklisted word it up to full length. Please fix this to where the word gets insta blocked when fully in its own text. Also when I install a new app and it needs to allow settings to be enabled, If the phone sees the word of the app that is has the uninstall prevention in settings, it will lock the whole screen up. Please fix the unnecessary blocking as this app is close to being perfect!

At first this app seems all fine and dandy, worked well. Then it started talking about a "free trial period ending". I had heard nothing about nor put any information in for a free trial, so I just shrugged it off. But suddenly, the app stopped blocking my apps and doing anything it was supposed to do. 0/5 for non functioning.

This app is excellent. It solves the problem of different apps struggling for your data and dragging down your phone's speed. Now no more pops up. Excellent app. My phone speed is normal. I recomment for any one that is expiriencing unwanted apps having access to your data and installing themselves. Thanks to the developer.
