Ratings and reviews

Can you please return this app to how it looked before, or make a setting in the app to change it back, manually? Being able to actually read how much storage space/ ram was left on my phone. An example of what I mean. It used to say you have 7.4GB remaining on top of saying the 56.6GB/ 64GB Storage. Now, it shows a percentage instead. The same applies to Memory. Also, the words for the top part where it says that your device is good. Is way too honestly bright with that blue glow it now has.

So... this app has a permission where it can automatically install apps. I am unable to turn it off and there is a warning below it that says "installing apps from this source may be harmful." Whatever is going on with Samsung is not okay. Apps are being installed without our knowledge that have permission to install more apps. If you haven't been going through your apps and checking permissions regularly, now is the time to do so.

If you work on files within the phone, creat folders, etc, do not trust this app's recommendations for "unnecessary files." It will delete data files that you don't want deleted. I've had to do this: Take a "full backup" first, let it rip, and see what you lost. Then manually copy back in what you need. Not very useful. Easier to manage the files myself in the first place.
