User Reviews

User feedback is mixed: strong security features and protective logs are praised, but reliability and cost are major drawbacks. Common issues include premium requirements, Android version compatibility problems, frequent disabling, battery impact, and privacy concerns about microphone usage. Overall, the app is seen as powerful yet unstable and monetized in ways that frustrate users.

Pros

Anti-spyware features (Deep Detective) and mic/camera protection
Detailed security logs showing changes, installs, and maintenance activity for monitoring
Provides protection and peace of mind against spying by entities or corporations
Reported reliability/working performance in some reviews (works great when it functions)

Cons

Premium/paid model required for core functionality; free version often unusable and billing issues (lifetime vs monthly)
Compatibility issues with newer Android versions (Android 14/15) leading to non-functionality or OS-level blocks
Frequent self-disabling or unstable operation (app turns off or stops monitoring)
Battery drain / performance impact on devices
Privacy concerns about microphone usage or suspicions of spyware (questions about why mic is being used to record)
