2024-04-02 | Please add some privacy system like hide apps, app lock, testing network etc. Why is the update of this app so late?And even if the update comes, there is no improvement 😕.If you don't make any improvements to the app then there is no need to build it 😔. | ||
2024-02-06 | This app tried to install malware. Can't uninstall the garbage so I disabled it, stopped background activity and deleted the data. Also flagged it as being malware by clicking the three dots by the app name. |
