It's Great and I feel like something is missing like a detector for tracking devices. Overall, the Certo App is great, and I have been pleased with the VPN option and performance.
★★★★★A Google user· May 10, 2026
Great app after my phone was hacked I installed it
★★★★☆R.I.C.K· Apr 23, 2026
What a brilliant app. It's a must-have for your devices for great security. It does auto update the spyware definitions, whereas you have to manually update. The app is very easy to use. There is one thing it don't have, which I hope Certo will add in the future, Is dark mode. As it is a lil to bright for my eyes. Tho it's not a major problem. But great apps for security conscious ppl
★★★★★C J· Jun 21, 2026
Great app!! Was able to detect spyware that two other big named anti viris/malware apps didn't detect.
★☆☆☆☆Joseph Muntean· Oct 30, 2025
Works good but when trying to remove it for space it's literally forces itself to stay on your device. So I give up
★☆☆☆☆Mo Shajarian· Feb 16, 2026
The app is working, and the screen is on for too long, but nothing happens. No progress bar or pop up to determine the progress of the job by this idle app. Never install it again.
★☆☆☆☆Jeffrey Wong· Jun 30, 2026
I paid for service, account not found, you charge my credit card $19.18. I am unable to use the premium service. What a stupid company cheating people hard-earned money
★☆☆☆☆Blake Means· Apr 13, 2026
Terrible app. No refund policy and literally minutes after your 7-day trial is over they hit you with the $50 subscription. Literally took food out of my mouth while im trying to finish school. App didn't even do anything for me and cancelled subscription so basically just lost 50 bucks for nothing. Absolute trash. Do not attempt 7 day trail it didn't even do its job.
