    Amazingly useful. The app very responsive and I like the uncomplicated UI. Great job! I do have one suggestion for improvement: add support for detecting kits from the Huawei Mobile Services.

    Brilliant, totally free app. Not sure it's always 100% accurate, though. E.g. Brave Browser listed as "no concerns" but it certainly has both ad and non-ad notifications.

    Looks like a nice app but doesn't work for me as it doesn't block ads on Google Chrome for Android. Too bad. Uninstalling.

    >Me posts this review. " "Not enough memory" error. Crashes onscreen & background too." >Said review gets deleted by unknown reasons. *Nice.* (haha only hint I have as to why it got thanos'd is that i've got the "dev responded you" notification moments prior to me checking, and confirming the deleted review)

    I have recommended this app for a long time. Easy to use and helps find privacy problems in your device. Using the app you also help contribute to the info on the site which means people can usually see an app does things they don't like, before installing it. Normally having adverts in an app that helps you get rid of adware would lose a star, but this is a rare app that shows adverts actually controlled by the app developers so they know what users will be seeing. Used with their front-end for the google store you will always be more informed about your app choices before making a mistake you regret.
