Ratings and reviews

Update: Still junk 2 years after original review... I'd like to know whos draining my battery, you are suppose to tell me, you dont. Original review: Constantly wants me to optimize while using the app it wants to optimize. Clean storage just to have it full of the same 635mg in 2 seconds for you to clean again? Literally. Then again and again. It doesn't actually clean the storage clearly. It does prevent other apps from working properly.

This program is nothing more than Add Ware. Even though I always click on disable, it continually wants to warn me about my phone being hot, running out of memory... and oh, look, here's an ad for you. I don't even think it is using actual data from my phone. I've tried to uninstall, but Samsung apparently wants to smother me with ads. I think maybe I've frozen the app now. Horrible App. I wish I could give this app a negative rating

I agree with lot of other reviewers here: this used to be such a simple, yet useful app. A five-star app! Now, in Android 10, and the latest updates to this app, it's become overly "cutesy" and doesn't perform as nearly well or intuitively as in previous versions. In fact, it can't even "see" the eleven large apps I have stored -- and running -- on my SD card. (Used to "see" them every time!) Those 11 apps all still work fine and as before....but Device Care only recognizes them when first installed or updated. Then, as soon as one of those apps is opened, Device Care no longer recognizes it's existence on the SD card any more....even though the app's still there and running just fine.
