It never did what it said it would do. I get MORE spam. Tried to cancel and my emails went unreturned. Tried to cancel via website chat and they sent me dead links. ### 1/5 — Theft *2026-01-12, version 3.6.0* Subscribes you and won’t let you unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — Super Expensive *2025-12-27, version 3.6.0* 20 bucks a month? Too much. ### 1/5 — Everything is pay walled. *2025-12-27, version 3.6.0* You can’t even try anything to see what it does or if it’s functional. I’d skip this honestly. ### 1/5 — More spam calls than ever *2025-12-07, version 3.5.1* I am now receiving more spam calls and all day everyday even through the late night hours it was never that bad! ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-07, version 3.5.1* Do not download. Data capture ### 1/5 — Fraudulent Scam *2025-11-30, version 3.5.1* Do not signup for this service. They will not allow you to cancel your subscription and will charge you even though your subscription is inactive. ### 1/5 — Most useless waste of money *2025-11-27, version 3.5.1* Not only have the spam texts and calls not gone away after three months, they have gotten worst- it will say 33 days left estimate to delete info from brokerage account for six months- your data will never get deleted from these brokerage firms and when it gets down to three days left it stays there for days and then goes back to 34 days left to delete data- it’s an endless waiting game where the app never delivers the intended service of deleting your personal info one of the thousands of scams out there being sold as protection. Such a let down ### 1/5 — Money *2025-11-26, version 3.5.1* you better plan on spending money if you want to protect your info ### 1/5 — Lie *2025-11-21, version 3.5.1* You have to pay money it’s not free ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No change in score. *2026-07-21, version 3.9.0* It says it removed me but score stays unchanged. ### 1/5 — Thought this was a free guess not *2026-07-07, version 3.9.0* You said free now you ask for money then it’s not free ### 1/5 — Do not sign up *2026-06-09, version 3.8.7* If you sign up you won’t be able to cancel or unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — 👎🏼👎🏼 *2026-05-29, version 3.8.7* They like to charge after scanning ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-05-01, version 3.8.6* I signed up for this and within weeks I had two accounts hacked ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-03-09, version 3.7.2* My spam is worse after downloading this app. I only left one star because it won’t let you leave zero. ### 1/5 — DO NOT INSTALL! *2026-02-25, version 3.7.2* When downloaded, I was hit with more spam calls, text messages and emails than ever. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-02-18, version 3.7.2* The app works great while paying. As soon as you stop, they release your info and the calls start back up. They don’t remove you from anything. Just block them while paying. ### 1/5 — Failure *2026-01-24, version 3.7.0* Failure is all I got on a free scan. They obviously want money for a free scan. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-01-22, version 3.7.0* I had problems connecting my email to the app. Contacted their support team and got nowhere with them. If you have problems, good luck! Support is the worse I’ve ever experienced. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I really like this app! Helps me out a lot, but I do have a bit of an issue *2026-08-02, version 3.9.0* This app is great! It makes me feel safe and sound on what I'm doing, I enjoy having this app help me out on what typa brokers and such are out there but this app really helps out a TON! I do have a problem about the data broker function though.. It's at 100% and it's been loading and LOADING, no clue if it's supposed to show me who's website I'm on or it's just supposed to be loading like that? Anyways, I LOVE the app! 🥹 ### 5/5 — Best IDTP Features & UiX *2026-08-02, version 3.9.0* I’ve been in the digital identity space for probably too long. PrivacyHawk offers way more functionality & ancillary protection ontop of peer CO’s / apps - especially in DWM, Threat Intelligence, and overall user experience/ interface! ### 5/5 — Spam *2026-07-12, version 3.9.0* I like this privacy manager but I now I get more spam than ever. How do I stop the spam? ### 5/5 — Does the work for me *2026-07-01, version 3.9.0* I appreciate how efficient it is to click and feel digitally safer ### 5/5 — Incredible Product! *2026-06-19, version 3.9.0* Easy to use, I immediately feel much safer! ### 5/5 — Life Changing *2026-06-17, version 3.9.0* What would I do without this app? Get bombarded with spam emails, texts, and calls. Now I feel free from what used to be my very annoying phone. Thanks PH!! Super easy and intuitive to use too. ### 5/5 — Peace of Mind *2026-05-03, version 3.8.6* I am not sure but I attempted to upgrade my account to premium and am waiting for a confirmation that the site I used was legitimate. I am waiting for the response from the contact procedure. If all goes well my evaluation will stand. Stay tuned… ### 5/5 — Way better than Cloaked *2026-03-30, version 3.8.3* I’ve used PrivacyHawk on and off for 2 years. I like that you can literally buy one month and completely clean house with it. Cloaked makes it seem like they are doing a lot more work than they actually are. I was using them for 3 months. Then I decided to get PrivacyHawk again, and lo and behold, PrivacyHawk identified a ton of breaches that I thought Cloaked would have identified and gotten rid of in the last 3 months. Crazy. I quit my Cloaked subscription and will only be using PrivacyHawk from now on. It really works. They might not market as aggressively, but it is an objectively better product/service. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-03-20, version 3.7.2* I seriously can’t believe what a difference PrivacyHawk makes. And the peace of mind brings. I will be a lifelong customer. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-02-15, version 3.7.0* I’ve been targeting stalked it’s crazy and this is really opening my eyes --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
