Review summary

User reviews are overwhelmingly negative. The app is repeatedly described as preinstalled, intrusive, and impossible or very difficult to remove, often taking over the device and running continuously, which wastes battery and slows the phone. Popups and a poor, hard-to-navigate user experience further frustrate users. A small number mention positive experiences with photos, but uninstallability and intrusion are the dominant themes.

Pros

Cons

Cannot uninstall or disable; uninstaller stops and the app reinstalls itself.
Preinstalled on devices (e.g., BLU, ZTE) and takes over the phone.
Runs continuously (24/7) and drains battery / slows device.
Intrusive with popups/notifications and hard to navigate.
Not user-friendly; localization/language issues (English) mentioned.
