| 2024-11-26 |  | | Took a long time to load and it said I don't have data whilst I'm on wifi. |
| 2024-11-05 |  | | it think it is very possible to get hacked on andriod. my initial thought were that andriod have special features that make them impossible to infiltrate, but that turned out false because lately, my spouse could guess where I had been to and even say things similar to what I had discussed with someone I thought was confidential. I had to get help from a tech support tea, ZiX (autonomy.projects00) via (instagram). thet had me disconnected from the wire tap and also made sure no future h@ck |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | Used to work well but now tells me my network may be insecure and to /forget that wifi network Well I don't even have Wifi on Uninstalled For fun I ran a scan while in airplane mode and the app said no concerns with your network I guess so. LoL Update Oct 29 Working properly again. Let's hope it stays that way |
| 2024-10-25 |  | | Worthless. It tells me I have issue but I gotta pay to see what it is. The features that are free are a waste. That's a lie. It shows I have one issue and THERE NO RESULTS PAGE. I will consistently give you bad ratings to inform others. |
| 2024-10-24 |  | | It's a good app to have let's you know if you are really safe using any of your installed apps on your phone |
| 2024-08-11 |  | | I installed this app just to decompile it and review any findings here after reading so many people one star review. I always find it intriguing to see five star reviews that are clearly fake ppl incentivised to leave such glowing reviews. While I didn't find any initial red flags like malicious code, there was quite a bit of random stuff I don't understand. Also some strange permissions having to do with audio modification and separate network and WiFi permissions as well. When in doubt, don't. |
| 2024-07-27 |  | | Dear Certo Support Team,I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the Certo Antivirus app. I found the app to be cumbersome and difficult to use. Additionally, removing the app from my mobile device was a complicated and time-consuming process, which raised concerns about its reliability.Due to these issues, I have decided to cancel my subscription trial. However, I am unable to find the option to do so in the Google Play Store.Could you please assist me in canceling my subscription trial |
| 2024-04-12 |  | | This is a great app, highly recommend. My phone was thoroughly scanned for threats, hackers etc. Thankfully there was nothing found. Also, fot some strange reason, when a ad would show a game, it would automatically download to my phone. Thankfully not anymore 🤗 |
| 2024-03-26 |  | | Used the free version and found the app very efficient. These days internet and mobile telephony has become a means capable of causing harm. With the likes of Pegasus and roving Five eyes surveillance etc, companies like Microsoft, Google etc have to draw a line before we spoil things. |
| 2024-01-22 |  | | Did not detect anything I needed it to. Took phone to the store and it picked it up right away. Thankfully could delete in time. This app was a waste of time and I am having a hard time canceling the subscription. |
