★★★★★ Elvis Creer · Dec 31, 2022

Great security. Based on your description you're a tandem to Sophos x. I'm sure this could be better. I like that.👍 vote 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 rates.

★★★★★ Mark Capoferri · Oct 17, 2022

For anyone complaining about the lack of control or an interface, that's the whole idea! This is a monitor for the monitor (Intercept X) and is immutable - no client privileges. It could perhaps be explained better, but it is FREE. AND NO ADS. You should be jumping up and down that an internationally respected security company can afford and chooses to do so with software this sophisticated, effective, yet so easy to use. Sophos has my thanks! And no, I'm not a shill. 😱😳😬

This app is trash. Zero in it's stated job. In Accessibility InterceptX goes Off after a time on its own or on phone restart even after setting it on. The problem with this app is that it does not really do the job of ensuring intercept x has a persistent running status. The settings of intercept x is returned to initial state, and you have to always set the phone app to do its job. Quite frustrating.

What is this for? Can't see it anywhere on phone. No explanation what it's for, what it does, how to use etc...

★★☆☆☆ Klaatu58 · Nov 30, 2021

Odd. Appears in apps list but not in drawer. Not clear why one needs this if they already have Intercept X. It's apparent Sophos security products are for those who don't need hand-holding, but that's okay as long as they protect as advertised.
