★★★★★ Gary Carruthers · Oct 22, 2026
Great antivirus protection. Thank you.
★☆☆☆☆ Sks DKs · Oct 17, 2026
This app is a fake don't install it it's waste of time every time when you scan it will stop at 6 and shows "complete scan needed to check your device" completely useless app I think these apps as paid reviews or something man what a shame play store still shows its 4.7 rating I use malware bytes it's good if you don't have feature like you said it's free but completely broken scanned more than 5-6 times did everything to solve man don't install it 🙂😕🙃😶😖😣
★☆☆☆☆ Steven B · Oct 10, 2026
This app only scans apps you have downloaded not the files messages or web data it's less likely to find a trace of spyware or hackers than anything else even a person with no computer knowledge is more likely to detect it
★☆☆☆☆ VOIIIXI · Oct 22, 2026
This app now just flags any modded apk and app as unofficial or unknown or whatever, what is the point of using this if it flags all modded apks? The only reason I have this app Is that I download many modded apps. This is useless now.
