Hi! I like this app & i have a query, please help. This app shows concerns & list ads driven by whichever application but does show the way to block or stop receiving ads. I'm hounded by various ads from Google play, games & many more. Please let me know how do i block it ?

This whole time my tablet home screen were full with pop up ads until i install this app everything changed. Turns out to be that Avg antivirus were the one giving me pop up ads on my home screen. THIS app is a live saver.

It is not able to detect any malware. It's more like a app manager. When one can see apps through settings, why would anyone need this app?

This is exactly what i was looking for. Nice Job developers.. It is difficult to guess which apps are causing annoying popups. this app does the job. thank you once again..

I've had this app installed in my various phones for some time. After updating to Oreo, my phone became very sluggish. Everything slowed down, the phone heated up, and the battery drained very fast. I finally tracked the problem down to AppBrain. It was causing 25% of the battery drain. Once I uninstalled it, my phone speeded up, the battery lasted much longer, and I don't notice the heating problem.

It doesn't block anything. I'm being bombarded with ads and pop ups. It made absolutely no difference!

Hands down amazing. I never usually give reviews unless it is that good. The ad pop problem is giving me a headache and this app solves it just like that.

Great app.. went and found and old app that had been removed from the playstore for adding in adware in an update. This app allowed me to remove it and end the 10 pop ups every 2 minutes

Omg there is a app I click on and spams ads and omg it wasn't on the screen so I can't see it but I knew it was there, this app let me uninstall it! Best app EVER!

N70%
by N####:

For an app that's so great at detecting ads, it doesn't do jack s**t to block them. Completely pointless.

R70%

Excellent work. Must download if you are receiving annoying ad notification. Thank you developer.

N70%
by N####:

Pretty solid program. Only gripe is, is there even a way to stop ads directly? Isn't that the reason we make adblockers to begin with? Could this app hold the key to blocking ads in apps? Also found it hilarious it actually detects ting, a Sprint service! Does give some insight on how ads work though, 4/5. ArceusFan2013.

Thank you so much for this wonderful app! I was having popup ads on my home screen and could not figure out why but with the help of this app, I discovered that a scam app had somehow installed itself on my phone, advertised itself as the "system" app, and kept itself hidden from view on the phone. I would have never be able to see it and uninstall it without this app. Wish I could give 10 stars!

It detects Avast! As the highest threat/security concern. And even not counting apps i installed, the Alarm app that comes default with Android 4.4.2 KitKat is in the same threat/concern level as Avast!

J70%
by J####:

The only app I know that does what it does, and it does so amazingly well. As soon as I install it, it tells me, exactly what's been causing pop-ups, and let's me uninstall it, even if the app has hidden itself from my app drawer. It does even more than I was expecting it to. It even lists all your apps with access to your location, contacts, or accounts. Couldn't ask for more.

*removes a lot of pop-ups from the home page. *however, I have experienced more banner ads after installing which is not as big of a concern as pop-up adware. *pop-ups still exist for me, bit mostly within aps like snapchat, whatsapp, facebook. I would really like to know if I could eliminate those ads as well. *overall a good effective app, but does not eliminate all.

...It's not gonna help you remove or stop ads, but rather it'll tell you what the apps on your device are phishing and passing along. It's findings are quite interesting. **You then have the option of removing THOSE offending apps. **That's all well and good, but what's its use to me really? I've still got apps on my device BECAUSE I WANT/NEED them and don't wish/want to remove them! **I am NOT removing this app just yet though. **It's findings are way too interesting as to what MOST devs are scheming up!

I don't know why this app is calling the Internet 2-3 times per minute. I stopped it with a firewall, but now I am installing. No more AppBrain Anything for me.

Don't see the helpfulness of an app that shows you "concerns" and then doesn't have the capability to do anything about them. Just increases the frustration.

There's this apk I installed online and I accidentally allowed it to have administration access so it would just randomly pop up and open as I was doing something random on my phone but then I used this app and found out that the access I gave that spam app is actually called "administration" so I turned that spam app's administration and then I could uninstall it
