What are users saying about TrustGo Ad Detector

G70%
by G####:

the "new" TrustGo Security is CRAP. weak-to-poor management of MULTIPLE devices. formerly "automatic" device scans now require MANUAL launch. so many other features COMPLETELY REMOVED. wtf, SELF-SABOTAGE or sudden INCOMPETENCE??? fix it, or get deleted...

After 1st install - nothing. Uninstalled. Reinstalled. Still nothing. No update since 12/14. Apparently company focused on its other product advertised in the description which can be downloaded on its website. Red flag. No rating re: content on Google Play. Red flag. Given: nonperformance, failure to update, poor reviews, finally permanently removed. Sad.

It does actually detect the app that causes some pop-up ads appearing in my home screen and usually installing some unwanted apps, but when i uninstall, it says unsuccessful. Any thoughts?

W70%
by W####:

Doesn't really detect where popups are coming from. I have them on my phone and intrusive ads but this app can't detect where they come from.

L70%
by L####:

Didnt detect verve wireless location based advertising. Didn't detect airpush in fire onion. Didn't detect Flurry in CBS news app. I used Anti Adware by Keerby it found them.

Ok I get that this does exactly what it's supposed to do but when you see EVERY, and I do mean EVERY, single app and android system file leaking your private data, what can you do other than completely get off the mobile bandwagon. According to this app, to prevent ID leaks, I would have to uninstall Android completely.

On a onplus one with CM 12s and app launches to black screen. Giving a 2 though because I have about 4 other apps with same issue since android 5 upgrade so hoping for an overall fix as the issue is probably due to the OS upgrade.
