Device : iphone 13 pro Os: ios 15.1.1 ### 3/5 — Battery consumption issue *2021-05-10, version 3.8.6954* This App consumed almost 25% of my phone battery in background. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2021-03-16, version 3.8.6630* Constantly blocks data, if it wasn’t required by my employer I wouldn’t have it. Constantly uninstall and reinstall because it blocks everything. Absolute junk, if I could rate it zero I would ### 4/5 — App Analysis Reports - Unavailable *2020-11-27* After an updated scan, I’m unable to view the analysis reports for any app that is listed under “My Apps”. Please resolve! ### 1/5 — Battery!!! *2020-07-19, version 3.7.4927* There are a couple comments complaining about battery consumption. Looks like dev didn’t event try to solve the issue. It uses 35% of the battery. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cop monitoring app Harmony Mobile protect Security through Digital Forensics *2026-03-21* *Police app that Digital Forensics yields to for control of the app-unbeknownst to customers- law abiding citizens beware* I had this app since 2020 and it served me well until one day I Received a phone call from an Alejandro Vegas who said “the program & was only available for purchase at $150 mt” despite this app, actually not expiring and being updated a couple times in the last two weeks; Mr. Vegas removed it from my phone. The only way I knew was through the pre-existing harmony notification I received. I find this quite fraudulent & bait & switch in behavior, untrue, & unprofessional for such a business. Particularly one based on customer service and trust. Thank you. Have a great day. ### 1/5 — Worst *2025-05-22, version 4.3.14587* Spamming you every few days with all the app scans notifications. I have about 80 apps and get 80 notifications. Whose dumb idea is this ### 1/5 — Incidencia con M365 *2025-02-19, version 4.3.14073* Desde hace una semana cuando actualizaron el cliente todos los servicios de mi compañía de Office 365 dejaron de funcionar correctamente bajo la VPN de Protect. A día de hoy seguimos sin solución. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2024-12-31, version 4.3.13327* Installed by mistake and now my phone has slowed down completely and takes forever to open apps or do anything - I deleted app and it’s still there, how do I remove please. ### 1/5 — Battery destroyer *2024-11-28* I cannot comment on whether this app is protecting me from anything or not. My company required it. However what I can say is that after installing this app my battery is draining very fast. In fact while plugged in and charging, it is loosing charge percent unless the phone is in low battery mode or powered off. Before installing this my battery would charge to 100% overnight and lasted well over 24 hours. Now overnight I can never get it to 80%. iPhone 14. ### 1/5 — Nul ! *2024-10-08, version 4.3.13327* Très restrictif. Des alertes sont très bien. D’autres sont totalement fallacieuses. L’application est très peu paramétrable. On ne sait absolument pas ce qui est fait avec les données. C’est grave. Blocage du CarPlay, beaucoup de blocages. En conclusion : totalement nul. Il est impossible d’utiliser le téléphone. ### 1/5 — Application on AppStore Flag as Threat *2024-09-05, version 4.3.13215* I can find the application in AppStore and it’s flag as a threat. Deleted also shows the app is installed. I try to reinstall this app also useless, I wasting my time for access company app ### 1/5 — Problème avec CarPlay BMW *2024-09-02, version 4.3.13215* impossible de connecter le CarPlay sur BMW. Si je veux que cela fonctionne je dois supprimer Harmony …. ### 1/5 — Carplay bmw ! *2024-07-03, version 4.2.12946* Depuis que Protect a mis a jour pour utiliser le pseudo vpn (poir info logiciel obligatoire par ma societe ...) le carplay Bmw ne fonctione plus !!!!! Est ce que les inge sot de cette boite pourraient regarde avant de mettre une fonction qui fait plante carplay dans les voitures ??? ### 1/5 — still nom compliant even after removing app *2024-06-30, version 4.2.12946* recently downloaded an app from the app store and harmony mobile say it is not compliant, even after moving the app and redo the scanning the issue still there, ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sécurité assurée *2024-01-25, version 4.2.12364* Le protecteur silencieux ### 5/5 — Best Mobile Threat Protection *2022-06-30, version 4.0.8833* Best mobile threat protection in the market, hands down! It’s lightweight and not invasive while preventing threats. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2020-12-14, version 3.8.5943* Amazing piece of software, protects my phone professionally. ### 5/5 — Protege mi iPad *2020-04-21, version 3.6.4868* Protege el iPad familiar ### 5/5 — Works like a charm *2019-07-25, version 3.4.4490* Works like a charm ### 5/5 — Very cool !!! *2019-07-22* Desperate for Internet and in the Frankfurt airport this app detected that I connected to a mitm gateway with a portal/Eula in a language I didn’t understand. Whether it’s was ‘quid pro quo’ free internet or something more sinister, the controls put in place kept corporate assets blocked until off this free WiFi. ### 5/5 — Great App and Solid Threat Prevention *2019-07-22* I’ve had this app installed now for almost two years. The tech has the best catch rate of any other threat prevention on a mobile device AND it is great on battery usage :). ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-07-22* Really appreciate knowing my mobile device is safe at all times. ### 5/5 — Great product *2019-07-22* I’ve been using sandblast for the last two years. It has saved me many times from potential MIM’s. The 3% of battery consumption I’ve seen is well worth it for the security it provides. ### 5/5 — Awesome product *2019-07-22* I’ve seen this product stop malicious activity while at the same present what I needed in real time.
