User reviews

Since update I can't personally scan my phone like the old version. I don't trust something that removes functions saying it's part of the version when it just makes it as useless as going to settings.

Have to constantly Uninstalle then reinstall the app so I can get my ability to run a check up. I'm starting to think I'm wasting my time and money with this app. As I send this app I will have to go and Uninstall the app because it froze up completely right before i started this review.

On older version I was able to scan phone for viruses and storage issues. On this one it will not let me. Also what is shown in play store for the app is completely different.
