• Subscribing you to emails and text messages when an ad is clicked
• Making phone calls and downloading malicious files when an ad is clicked

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?
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.
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.
When I open app it opens to a black screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled still the same
It would not let me open the app and now I keep getting apps automatically downloaded and on my home screen
It does nothing. Don't waste your time.
Results are not technically wrong, but there are many false positives with AdMob which is not actually used to display ads.
When I tap on scan button, it just analyzes then does nothing...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with Android 6.0.1 and the app crashes and will not load.
The title says it all! Have submitted an error report.
Says it's working yet it doesn't scan or anything, boo.
It doesnt work. When i press on the icon nothing happens only a black screen apears for like 1 sec
This app keep crashing upon pressing the scan button. Also, the other app trust go claims this app is a virus and leaks your privacy info. Extremely disturbing considering the 2 are from the same developler.
When I tap on it,it just shows a black screen which then closes
How do people get away with this Crap they upload. This app is a waste of bandwidth. You can't even open it. Where is the negative stars. Galaxy S5
It does not work I tried to launch the app. It open and then it stop working.
Just it only tell which app is using ur location & Personal information. But this App is Unable to Detect which app is Flashing ADD
I believe the force is now with the ads...don't waste your time downloading... :(
When I tap on scan button, it just analyzes then does nothing...
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.
Used to be my go-to app but it no longer works. When I click to open, it just flashes the screen & nothing ever opens. Whata shame~ (uninstalled)
I installed it, ran it, then hit scan, got the progress circle and it said analyzing. Then got the notification saying unfortunately this app has stopped and forced closed itself 3x. U installing.
On my Htc m7 it just show analyzing and then stops. No result is shown....
I have something that keeps placing ads/ shortcuts on my screens. THIS app advertises that it detects these programs and it did NOT do its job. Not worth the time. Uninstalling.
It doesn't work on my note 3 running lollipop. Will change when updated to work.
This one must be a joke. It doesn't start so I don't know the use of this apps
The app won't even open on my note edge
I installed this app to detect adware that has infected my Samsung Note 4, but the app won't open at all. I even Uninstalled and reinstalled with the same result. Maybe the adware is afraid it will be found out.
Doesn't work on Note 3 after upgrading to Lollipop.
Close right after open in lollipop.
Doesn't work on my Nexus 7 running Android 5.1.1
It hasn't opened for a few days and from what I see from other reviews, an update may be a while coming. I'm moving on.
Perfect!!!every other app could not find the app that was advertisin on my notification bar,,thanks!!!
Keeps stopping in the middle of scanning
I installed this solely to identify the app(s) that is pushing ad notifications. It reported zero apps!
Won't even open, useless.
Uninstalling
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...
