Glitches as not receiving texts or emails, lately I have to erase this app and reinstall three times this month! Is it due to hackers idk! Maybe the app needs an update or something!?! ### 4/5 — Good but not fully informative in protection. *2026-05-09, version 9.7.0.8* I’m not notified about the security of my device when not connected to the wifi. ### 3/5 — Upgrade *2026-03-24, version 9.7.0.8* Does the system upgrade daily? ### 2/5 — I don’t get what this is *2025-11-11, version 9.7.0.8* I really have no idea what this is supposed to do or help me in any type of way it just kind of runs all kinds of test and doesn’t fix anything. ### 4/5 — Security *2025-07-22, version 9.4.1.8* I just hope it’s correct with what ur says abut my phone ### 4/5 — Fails *2024-10-09, version 8.5.1.10* When opened the app, it fails to load because of Error code. ### 4/5 — Bugs? *2023-05-20, version 6.13.0* I’d give a 5 star but one of my devices seems to not respond when trying to activate “get safe browsing “ ### 4/5 — Free add on from metropcs *2022-10-23, version 1.16* Like I said it’s free so you can’t expect to get gold for free. I’ve just felt like they need to keep up with spyware and malware that’s is being sold at a lot of these apps or websites that use it for different applications. But all have the same purpose and that is to invade your privacy. I think that this app helps in one way or another to assist in getting info. But like I said it’s free. You end up paying for anything that was free because it just wasn’t worth it. Your still going to pay somehow. Like they say you end up spending double when you buy some cheap or used. I still think they should at least try to do a little more. Maybe this will motivate the right person to do something about it!! Thanks and hope to see new better upgrades that truly work efficiently. ### 2/5 — hi *2022-10-16, version 1.16* It works great but wondering why it doesn't have storage cleaner and app lock and memory booster for my iPhone like it shows on my android phone ### 5/5 — Cool app for someone that like’s security *2022-09-02, version 1.16* Ba ### 5/5 — Very useful application *2022-08-28, version 1.16* I find the application very useful for many functions one expects a security application to provide. ### 5/5 — Good job *2022-06-26, version 1.16* Great technologies ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is all wrong *2025-09-08, version 9.4.1.8* It’s saying I have 10 breach’s of online fraud and I haven’t used any of them and want me to change passwords and I never used those apps or pages online ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-09-05, version 8.5.1.10* Updated this app land lost all of my photos this is horrible ### 1/5 — Made me login to remove devices and there’s no logout option *2024-08-22, version 8.0.1.12* Before I could activate web security just tried to make me sign in on browser again like i havent been signed in and didnt just remove like 8 devices also it wouldnt load homepage til i started screen record + scan then everything came back up also makes my phone run like its 1998 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work if phone is hacked *2023-10-07, version 7.4.0.5* Thai is a waste of money and time my phone says it works perfectly and I’m a software developer and my phones been compromised!
