It does the job you expect it to do. Competitive pricing plus it goes on sale sometimes. I recommend this software! ### 2/5 — Too salesy *2026-08-20, version 5.29* Trying too hard to sell and not hard enough to do the work. ### 3/5 — Decent app *2026-08-20, version 5.29* The app does reasonably well with calls albeit, I wish it screened more effectively, especially those who have scammed your number to appear with a local call. Also, it could provide better screening protection for junk mail, and scams on Email and make them easier to identify. It’s OK, but I’m not sure if I will review after one year or seek another alternative. To be determined. ### 5/5 — Malwarebytes Notification *2026-08-19, version 5.29* Gives me a “Poor” score because of IOS version, but IOS is the latest version. ### 5/5 — Best security tool *2026-08-19, version 5.30* Great app, it tells me whether a call is fraudulent or not so I don’t have to figure it out myself and I can check to see whether a text messages looking kind of sketchy or to check. Weird emails. I think this is one of the best security tools out there for mobile devices for a blind person to be able to tell if a phone call or text is fraudulent and it’s easy to report the number and hopefully get it taken down. ### 3/5 — Malwarebytes. *2026-08-19, version 5.30* It does not make it easy to block numbers. I have been getting scam text and sexual scam text. I want to block them. ### 3/5 — Use *2026-08-19, version 5.30* Confuses me ### 5/5 — Best *2026-08-19, version 5.29* Secure using Malwarebytes ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-19, version 5.29* Excellent app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New Guy *2026-08-23, version 5.30* A few months ago when I first got a paid subscription it was working , then came an issue with the Scan Guard Not loading up in the app on the iPhone. Their tech support was not helpful not one bit. With me sending screenshots of what the app is doing or displaying and their only solution was for me to Uninstall the app and Reinstall, That’s like the bath water is not hot enough drain the tub water an refill the tub, ( really ) that the real solution to the problem. ### 1/5 — Disgusted *2026-08-22, version 5.30* Sucks ### 1/5 — Affected by virus *2026-08-22, version 5.29* Did not eeework ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-22, version 5.29* Had a full lifetime subscription which by some coincidence has been cancelled, then I get constant reminders about buying an annual subscription.
