Ratings and reviews

This app is terrible. Even system apps provided by the phone manufacturer are considered as sideloaded. So, it forces you to uninstall them. This is unacceptable.

Required on my work Samsung phone. Worked OK for a while, but it now eats the battery and CPU time since the last update (4.21.1), which creates a lot of heat. Battery went from 100% to 22% is just 6 hours while the phone sat idle and the phone was very hot to the touch. Android warned that zIPS was using too much CPU (around 37% if I remember correctly) and I shut it down, but it reloaded itself. Finally managed to restrict background battery use in Android 12, but don't know if that will be effective yet. The developer really needs to fix the excess battery/CPU usage in the latest version as it makes the phone pretty useless. I'd uninstall it if my work would allow, but doubt that will happen.

Was forced to install this for work. Kept prompting me to remove lots of other apps that I'm using, as well as OS upgrades which I'll never be able to get as my phone is old. This means that I'll never be able to fulfill the requirements that the app is forcing upon me just so I can use MS teams. The app seems to be constantly scanning for networks even though my wifi settings are turned off. Uninstalled. Stop forcing people to adapt to your standards.
