Comments on Device Shield for Android

★★★★★ Absolutely amazing. Read their site for tutorials on how to use it. Works great as a system service on my rooted evo.

★★★★★ Been using this for months now and its by far a must have for any Droid owner!

★★★★★ Awesome App. Will be 5 stars when mobile app is made, instead of website based tracking. Evo

★★★★★ Greatness for years I have been using Mobile defense for years. Every phone I've had I made sure I installed this app.

★★☆☆☆ Im sure it works pretty great but have to uninstall cause it keeps crashing android update 1.5 on my samsung moment

★★☆☆☆ Beware! They sell your info to third parties! What type of security is that! Started getting spam mail and phone calls!

★★☆☆☆ Thief can go into applications and select all. Find mobile defense. Uninstall it and be home free. Crappy app!

★★☆☆☆ Paid user...but not really?? Will give it 5 stars when I am updated to a paid customer. New tablet is not supported either. Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" & Note 10.1 are not supported; Lookout is...is this my choice? The app says "beta" again on my Motorola Photon 2 yrs???
