Ratings and reviews

I just did the most recent update, and suddenly have no option to run a malware scan. when I go to services and hit "security scan" I get an error that says "opps something went wrong. This service failed to load properly". it will also tell me I'm offline when I'm not. sometimes the services tab is just totally blank, too, but when it does load and I click "security scan" I just get that "failed to load properly" banner. so helpful. app was working fine before that update

Up till the most recent update, i had been pleased with this app. It provided the necessary items to keep me safe. I did not like I could not access the weekly found issues (i.e. Clear cache, restart phone, etc ) by clicking on the notification. After the update, I had to disable the program as it would not allow me to have internet service via cellular data. I'm hoping another update will come out and fix this bug soon.

Protecting me 24/7 yet I can never get the app to open!!! Constantly have to force close or reinstall to get it to work. A worthless app that interfers with my Bluetooth devices and disables my ad blockers!!!! Worth 185 billion and can't fix a simple app or maybe it costs 4.99 like all the other add ons that should be free cause they "care about there customers" and not lining there pockets!!! Contacted numerous times via the email address they provide but never receive a response.
