We will help you with this. ### 4/5 — Only one big critique *2023-09-07* I have enjoyed this app very much but it won’t allow me to change the location of my vpn I feel I have tried everything. I love it otherwise and would highly recommend. But that vpn is very annoying and if I wasn’t having that problem this would be a 5 star review. ### 3/5 — Lol *2023-07-29* So if I use it once will it cancel out all the hackers and I can cancel my subscription and I’ll be ok? **Developer response:** Sadly, no. Try to keep your defence status at a 'green' level. So you get maximum protection ✅ ### 4/5 — Cost to much if you are like me I'm own a fixed income. I'd love to have it but I can't afford it. *2023-07-24* It **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! ### 1/5 — One star because the developer seems to send a fake message to get downloads on the app. *2023-07-24* Although I never got to use this app, I read another review speaking of a message warning you of a hacker having gotten into your phone. I got the same message, which was basically a direct link to download the app. Seems like an OK app, but please stop sending that message. It’s terrifying. **Developer response:** Thank you for your comments! We do not do this kind of spam and the issue is currently under investigation. ### 1/5 — Uses scare marketing *2023-07-06* Do NOT use this app! They need to be punished for using web pop ups (that are impossible to dismiss) to frighten people into installing the app. They ought to be permanently evicted from the App Store. **Developer response:** Hello. We're trying to fix this right now. We apologize for the negative experience 😞 ### 1/5 — Get rid of this. *2023-06-27, version 3.0* I was on an anime website and i t brought me to a screen that said it was from apple telling me my iPhone was getting hacked and to click continue to do the needed precautions to not get hacked. It said It was gonna leak my photos so I downloaded the app just to find out it was a scam. I can ever send screenshots of what happened. This is a horrible way of advertising and scared me half to death. Do not download! This is a scam. PTS: the website I was using was Zoro.to ### 1/5 — Scared me *2023-06-23, version 2.9* It scared me so bad and I even paid for it cause I really thought I got hacked and It didn’t even work fr. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — I was scared to death *2023-06-21* I was scrolling through my phone on what to watch, and a message flashes through my screen, saying a hacker hacked my phone. I was super scared because my cousin was a hacker, the good kind, and I recently pranked him and he said I would regret this. The message even said it would reveal my search history/photos and I deleted my search history and useless photos. I saw this app and clicked it so I could protect myself from my cousin, but then I realized, the app was a scam. My cousin doesn’t hack anymore and what he said, you will regret this, was 10 years ago and I’m 20. I think he would’ve forgotten by now. So please whatever you do, do not get this app, it scared me half to death. No hate though, it seems like a great app, but please delete the hacker message. **Developer response:** Information about hacked accounts is stored in our database. You can check your e-mail. Maybe this is what you meant? We don't use any other hack messages =( ### 1/5 — This is a scam *2023-06-15, version 2.9* This is a lie you literally got to pay for Everything😒😒 ### 3/5 — Confused? *2023-06-13, version 2.9* It said I have hackers watching me “spooky!” I am very confused rn ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-09-07, version 4.1* Just froze the phone, worse than useless ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-04-15, version 4.1* I got a fake 'hacked' notification and i believed it and it told me to download this app to help me, do not download this. ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS APP! SCAM *2024-08-21, version 4.1* I got here by following a page that said "Your Apple connection has been hacked. Someone is watching you." My phone is not hacked. It's all a big scam!!! ### 1/5 — Cancel subscription *2024-05-29, version 4.1* I want to cancel my subscription, but it want let me ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2023-08-28* I found this through a pop up- it was really dumb of me to download because apparently an Apple like website recommended to download it and it said I had 4 detected issues and so then I went to my friend and about it and she told me that you wouldn’t need an app like this because Apple would mostly keep you protected from hackers and such- so I believed her. Based on other reviews this app is not very trustworthy and if you want some protection just go to Verizon or T mobile—or even the tech place in Walmart. Based on what I’ve read and experienced this app is just a scam and wants money and don’t tell me otherwise because you and I both know it’s true. **Developer response:** Dear User! We apologize for any negative experiences you may have with our app. We would appreciate it if you could give us more details about the message you experience: royltd@protonmail.com. You will be very helpful if you can help us to determine what kind of detected problems you are talking about, because we only offer VPN and other functions. ### 1/5 — I too have been hacked! *2023-08-24, version 3.2* I have been hacked too! In the early to mid part of July I too got messages that I had been hacked! One day this App just appeared on my Home Screen. I did not even know what it was about. I have requested Apple give me a refund on this $89.99 + tax App. I hope I can get this refund without a fight. I also need to figure out how to get rid of what ever viruses that have infected my iPhone. Update: I received an apology from the App Developer. No explanation for why or how this app found its way to my devices and I’m not happy about it. I would like to know how this $95.00 app made its way into the Home Screens of my iPhone and my iPad. I had never seen or even heard about Lighthouse! Thankfully Apple is a trustworthy company. By the way, I ended up having to spend $175.00 on an Anti-Virus Utility. There were a number of viruses infecting my devices. This App allowed those viruses to be installed on my devices. Watch out people!! ### 1/5 — I was scared *2023-08-05, version 3.1* It said my iPad was hack and I was scared and I downloaded the app and I was not even hack dam I was scared ### 1/5 — 100% scam app *2023-08-02, version 3.1* Bait and switch app that uses phishing to lure people into expensive subscriptions Stay away! ### 1/5 — Do Not Download. Your phone is not hacked. *2023-07-28* I got here by following a page that said “Your Apple connection has been hacked. Someone is watching you.” My phone is not hacked. It’s all a big scam. They charge $8.99 a week?!!! Apple need to do better job at catching these scam apps. **Developer response:** Please accept our apologies. We are working on the problem of ads that confuse users! ### 1/5 — Do not get!😡 *2023-07-28* This is a scam. I was watching a movie and it showed a screen that said “you are being watched and you have been hacked; download this app to help” I wasted my money on this app the app was hacking me. I was so scared of it I didn’t even know what to do. It doesn’t even protect you 😡😡😡😡 **Developer response:** Our apologies for the negative experience!
