Amazing app. This app is really LEGIT. All the stuff you wanted to delete or get rid of. Like scams, spams, screenshots, viruses. This app takes it all away. This app takes everything you need away. You just gotta tell them what you want away. And be specific if you want the right things taken away. And listen to the app. Listen to what they tell you. And trust me, it will end well.

Actually a good antivirus, reliable and good options for free tier appreciate it and especially if you use Android phones that are older than Android 13 phones you must download this just in case bad things happen

I've used malware bytes on my desktop and laptop in the past and had a good experience. This mobile version is utter rubbish. The app crashes after 7 seconds during its first scan. I've tried force stop and clearing cache, but it still crashes. After a few attempts my Android phone comes up with a pop-up message saying malware bytes isn't working as it has a bug.

It was good at first, trying the trial, but then I canceled the trial and had my card lock and somehow they still stole my money somehow with the card locked they are able to bypass it and charge me. Now I gotta fight to get a refund. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO GET A REFUND

If I could go less than 1 I would... download try...took 3 trys to find malware my other antivirus took one and this app couldn't remove the threat, so I cancelled before, and it still took subscription, and I still can't get back in the app...scammer

I like to download an app and at least see what it's capable of doing before being asked for money. The moment you download this expects to pay either $19.99 or $49.99. They'll give you 7 days to try it, but they want that subscription first. I hear you can't cancel the subscription through the app so not signing up. Next!!
