Ratings and reviews

Downloaded this thinking it was a security app like Citizens as I am using them for work projects. It isn't and that is okay, I thought I would use it for the features that protect your phone. NOT WORTH IT! It consumes too much battery power! Thought something was wrong with my phone and am relieved I don't have to replace it as I like the nostalgia of having a note9.

Same as others are reporting, over the last few months the has started drain in ng my battery, as of this morning this app was responsible for 44% of battery usage in the last 24 hours. That said I've had this installed on my last three phones and like the functionality it provides... But not the recent battery eating behaviour.

This app is a huge battery drainer. I noticed very decreased battery life in my Google pixel 6 pro. I finally went to battery usage and I saw that this app was Using I kid you not, 47% of my battery in the background and for nearly 12 hours. I checked back a hour or so late and I saw that it went down to 40%. It's crazy because the other highest percentage being used by an app was just a mere 3%. If you are experiencing a problem with the battery life on your phone this app may be why.
