Unbelievable / don’t download

I downloaded this app to help me with spam coming in on my phone after the trial. I deleted it because it did not help. Since I deleted this app, I’ve been getting twice the amount of spam phone calls. I know it’s coming because I deleted this app. I’m gonna see if I could sue because this has to be illegal. Do not download this app. It’s a trap if you ever delete it, you will be harassed

Not like desktop

Malwarebytes for iPhone doesn't offer a traditional, full-device malware scan like Malwarebytes for Windows or Android.
Apple's iOS security restrictions prevent third-party antivirus apps from scanning other apps, system files, and the entire operating system.

Great protection.

Works great! Good bargain for the price.

Waste of money for iPhone app

You have to get the premium package in order for it to do anything. Bought a second subscription by mistake and there are no refunds even if they do say there is a 60-day money back guarantee.

Non Better

I have been using Malwarebytes for years. I started on android but now use iOS. You cannot go wrong with these guys. For those of you that think you are safe with iOS, you must understand that even IOS needs additional security and I always suggest Malwarebytes. In my opinion there is none better.
