Ratings and Reviews
Caution!
This app allows advertisers to post fake warnings about fake viruses that are “definitely on your device“ and then require you to download the fake virus protection app before you can move on. I am surprised that Apple allows this app in the store. if you use this app, be sure to quit when you get that warning rather than hit the download button
STOP👏🏻FORCING👏🏻USER👏🏻TO👏🏻UPDATE
Please stop from forcing user to update. Every update has made the experience gone downhill. And now with the latest update you’re forcing user to “subscribe” while still injecting ads into your app. This is ridiculous. And by the way, the so called “Breaking News” alert is super annoying, it alerts news that’s not even breaking at all!
Crap App
Why am I paying you money to be subjected to so many ads? Worse still the ads have nothing to do with me and you can’t skip them until a certain time has passed, and then to make matters worse you need to hunt for the X button to close the crap ad. I am unsubscribing from this pitiful excuse of an app.
