★★★★★ Sunil Kumar · Oct 22, 2021

★★★★☆ kshitiz adhikari · Feb 22, 2023

This app helped me remove a spam app that was hiding so nicely that even the name wasn't there to search for. Thank you. Hope you guys improve the UI and I can give you 5 star.

★★★★☆ Brent Barnhill · Aug 14, 2021

Good app to show which apps have which ad networks! Would like to see this app include the ability to show trackers as well. This would make it a more complete security app without the need for a separate app.

★★☆☆☆ LaTarsha Carr · Apr 29, 2022

The "Show Concerns" list display a category of problems. When I go into a category on that list, the problem apps are shown along w/descriptions of the problem permissions such as "Can access your contacts" MY ISSUE IS: When I open that specific App Information, the permissions are disabled. I went to dozens on the list and the AppBrain information is inaccurate. None of the Indicated permissions are active, all were already disabled. Am I looking at this correctly, or missing something?

★★☆☆☆ Carolyn Williams · Aug 29, 2020

Not quite what I'm looking for it doesn't show apps that causing ads to pop up on phone. And this app has ads itself puts more ads on your phone

★☆☆☆☆ aneesa faisu · Jun 17, 2021

Very bad app. Coming advertisement automatically in my phone. This app can't stop or delete this advertisement from my phone.this is poor and bad app

★★☆☆☆ C S · Oct 2, 2024

Half done sloppy work, can't detect flutter frameworks or other ads / frameworks which some Chinese / Japanese/ Korean apps used at all, only entire empty fields, if you're a dev planning to look or dissect Asian apps, u will be sorely disappointed There should also be a function to access, view, copy, & delete ads which cannot be normally found even while using those good file explorers manually w/o root. Some ads are so offensive but no way to make a copy as proof in order to submit a complaint
