### 1/5 — This hasn’t helped me at all

*2021-07-20, version 1.5*

I have been getting these notifications that said that my phone has a virus and panicked! and it said that I need to download this app but even though I downloaded this I got the page blocked after and panicked even more I did everything I could and I keep getting more notifications and noticed that nothing was changing so if you guys get the the same virus notification this idk how to help sorry

### 3/5 — Still getting notifications

*2021-07-17, version 1.5*

It’s good and all but I’m still getting notifications on protecting my iPhone a following the steps on which I did I thought it would take those away but on the other note it’s working I think and hope so.

### 1/5 — THIS DOESNT HELP!!

*2021-07-13, version 1.5*

I went onto a website where they were selling cars.  After about 2 minutes, I got a bunch of notifications that there was a potential virus in my phone.   I’m sure like many other people I panicked. Well please do not if this happened to you! Go into settings, then go to calendar.  Go to accounts, and then press add account.  There should be a thing that says delete.  If there isn’t I’m very sorry! But if I remember right, that’s how I fixed it.  This app is a scam.  :)

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2021-07-07, version 1.5*

If I could give it a negative rating, I would. Do not add this app. It’s a trap. I’ve tried everything to delete it. I’ve even tried asking the creators how to get rid of it. Only told to “run the app and follow the onscreen instructions.”

### 5/5 — Figured out how to stop the spam in calendars!

*2021-05-19, version 1.5*

To all my fellow iPhone users who are getting tons of spam from this and want it to stop but dont know how. i found how to stop it.

1) Open calendar app
2) Click on Calendars in the middle 
(at the bottom there are 3 options: 
Today   Calendars   Inbox)
3) The should be an option that says “Click ‘OK’ to subscribe.” Go to it.
4) Finally, at the bottom there should be an option for “delete subscription” and it will clear all the spam out. 

Hope this helps! :)
