Ratings and reviews

Everything seems to work well but they keep sending me notifications to add stuff for more money per month. You're only choice is to subscribe or click not now there is not a No or not interested. I realize this is marketing but I haven't had the phone a month yet and I've had three notifications. I would like notifications if something is wrong but not for sales maybe that's just me.

It seem alright, BUT, doesn't seem to want to work well as the complimentary version. The app rarely performs its scheduled scans, though its scheduled. Everytime you open the app you get hit with an upgrade screen instead of settings. Best thing about the app is the call spam blocking. Not sure how effective the security scans are if even a scheduled scan doesn't kick off.

I'm using the free version, and I'm about to remove the app as it's constantly running and draining my battery down. It's back to scanning screenshots as well. If the free version is this bad, why would I purchase the other plan? It's a very confusing app with all the ads that pop up. I'm afraid to press anything as I'm afraid it will sign me up for something I don't want.
