This app keeps popping up! I never installed it. I'll ever want to use it. I'm going to have to disable it through settings since Google play store won't let me uninstall it. I think these kinds of apps are useless, but I don't think apps should be installed on anyone's phone unless they want them. This app pops up everytime I open my screen up, yes every time. The only time it doesn't is when it has been sitting in my recent apps because I didn't swipe out of it yet. Total waste of time.......

I got a phone with this pre-installed and could not uninstall it. Consumed way to much battery and also when I deactivated the app, it activated itself after a restart.
