Comments on Certo: Anti Spyware & VPN for Android

★★★★★ Rodney Wallace (Montro) · Jul 27, 2026
An amazing app I'm sticking with I love their privacy and protection after trying out others 💯
★★★★★ Michael Teague (Captain Obviously) · Mar 4, 2026
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.
★★★★★ Glenn Ball · Sep 9, 2026
THANK YOU, CERTO! ☺ Even just using the free version helps EVERYONE. By scanning my devices with even the free version, you possibly keep me from spreading an evil 😈 "bug" to others. When I can, I will certainly purchase a higher level of your security. Best wishes, Dean From Abilene; Dyess AFB; Abilene, Texas. Happy Hump Day! 🐫
★★★★★ A Google user · May 10, 2026

★★☆☆☆ Michele Brown · May 12, 2026
Was working great.then all sudden vpn won't stay on.keeps saying I'm not connected to the Internet . For hours, I have been trying to fix this.no luck. Nd their help part on application is worthless .
★☆☆☆☆ Aure · Jul 24, 2026
No free version. This is a 7 days demo, and then you have to sign up for a subscription. Also, I have a spyware on my phone. Nothing complex and it didn’t see it. What a joke!
★☆☆☆☆ SGc · Sep 28, 2026
App scan results "NO malware, NO Network threats, NO tracking" despite extreme and obvious compromise. I have 461 apps, over 100 of which appeared in 24 hrs AND have granted themselves INSTAL_UNKNOWN_APPS permission!! My keystrokes, screen, call, messages, are monitored in real-time & access is blocked to critical services. Beware: whatever psycho Spyware is being used on me can mask true settings and scan results screens in real-time and no one will help (Certo was FREE)
★☆☆☆☆ 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.
