Comments on Certo: Anti Spyware & VPN for Android

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ Amber · May 26, 2026

My phone is hacked and while there is a very high-tech malicious malware running in the background that is unable to be detected by this app, it has helped greatly in helping me find the smaller programs that are running to uninstall. Would highly recommend this app for anyone.

★★★★☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★★☆☆☆ 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 .

★☆☆☆☆ 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.
