Popup Detective uses recent Android activity, app installation details, and other limited clues. Results are clues, not proof. Android and phone makers may miss some activity. Popup Detective cannot prove which app made a popup or prove that an app is harmful.

If you are unsure, keep the app and ask someone you trust.
