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.

Always keep my phone working properly and safe when I am in the public using the wifi available. Additionally, it let's me know when junk files need to be deleted off my device and I just love it! It also reminds me when I need to restart my phone as in these times and days all help is needed to staying safe and secured as available.

This has been a nightmare to get set up again. Terrible to get logged in. And when finally did, it shows old phone, not current one. Also keeps telling me cannot make connection to update 2018 database. Worthless with old database. Anyone have better recommendation to keep phone safe?

Aug 18 purchase Assurant Protect Advance, register it due to my wife's phone crash & she lost everything. U.S. Cellular said that would not happen again with this insurance and app. 23 month later get email & pop up from app stating time for Samsung Check Up & Less than 1hr later phone crashed. We have contract Assurant mailed us stating we have Advanced Protection. I download app on new phone, no restore or backup option in app. Tech support says we only have 14 day free trial. Everything lost

Not very happy with this app right now.It never finds viruses ect. but when I installed another app they found a couple viruses.I've also been trying to update this app all morning and all my other apps will update except this one now I have uninstalled this app & reinstalled it so let's see if that works 🤔 The only reason that I had reinstalled this app is because I was told by US Cellular whatever apps comes with my phone has to stay otherwise my phone will malfunction 😠

This app used to be amazing! Now when I run a backup the app blanks out and shuts down. I've been running backups on 3 devices for years and now I can't even get a backup to process.

Until recently I never thought about this app.It was always working in the background .Then I got malware on my phone and I had to do a factory reset to remove the malware because the malware wasn't recognized by the app.and couldn't remove it. .Now that was done I tried to recover my backup data to restore.There wasn't any . The data that I backed up was deleted and there was no way to recover what I had backed up to the app. That being said, I was lucky I used Google to backup my data prior to all this.That is really the only problem I have had to deal with . I have had this app ever since it was available .Overall I would say this app performs better than the majority of security apps . There is Malware that will get by the best security software out there .So I will use this app for my phone security.
