Michael Price		 Found the mysterious app popping up ads on my phone in the blink of an eye. I had looked carefully through my downloaded apps and the offending app did not appear in the list. Ad Detector took me right to where I could uninstall the offending app, which had no name in the phone's application manager and didn't show up in the list. Great!

Carolyn Kissinger-Elkins		 Lists all apps that have hidden ads such as AdMob. I have uninstalled several apps not satisfied with banner ads or taking my money allegedly to "remove" ads, no, they tracked me on the sly. I recommend this app to anyone--along with Netguard--who wants to choose to put up with backdoor ad trackers or block them by using the apps offline, or UNinstalling the sneak-thieves.

A Google user		 Thank you!!! The scan took literally one second and found an unnamed app that was not only the one showing both small and full screen pop up ads (porn ones at that) on my phone but also had access to my location, camera and more! Its finally gone! You do need to look through the list and find the guilty app. One suggestion would be to set a start time so it could run until an ad is shown and log ad events to see what app launched it, if possible, but this worked great for me! Thank you!

A Google user		 I had a malware that was causing pop ups every 2 seconds for about two weeks. It was invisible that I couldn't in no way detect the problem. This app is very simple and it immediately detected the malware. In a few seconds, did the magic and voila, no adds! Thanks a lot. I love your app.

A Google user		 Just amazing.. my phone had an adware I tried number of popular anti-malware and antivirus apps but none could detect it did all measures i knew of did alot of research on Google, had given up and was thinking about formatting the phone and then I came across this wonder.. with the first scan it showed all the apps with ads and then i could easily pinpoint the malicious app and then it was a piece of cake. Thank you so much to the developer great job👍

A Google user		 Legit. Very small file, one of the best ways to view unwanted apps installed on your phone...pro tip uninstall anything you havent used or didn't realize you had that seems useless to you.

A Google user		 Should have done this way sooner. I had pop-up ads everywhere, bleeding through not only Facebook, but every other place. So totally annoying! This App has literally stopped all of it. Very easy to use. Give it a couple hours and it will take care of all those pesky freaking ads. YES!

A Google user		 I have no words to describe how grateful I am to have installed this application on my phone. it is by far the best and the only application that remove ads completely from your phone I was about to reset my phone to factory settings due to the extreme amount of annoying pop-up ads popping on my screen every 30 seconds without my permission. Since the moment I installed this application I have zero ads popping on my screen I am extremely grateful to the person who invented this app. Thank U🤗

A Google user		 Did the Job: it list all the apps that run ads but here's the tricky part. you yourself have to look for the recently downloaded apps that could be causing your new problem with Ads. 1. look at your phone for apps you recently downloaded. (and didn't download). 2. run the Apps scan. 3. In the list, find the names of ones you recently downloaded. click on them. look to see if they have used unusual amounts of memory. 4. force stop the suspicious memory using apps. 5. see if the ads stop.
