5 ★ So far can’t complain. The scanning isn't the quickest but I guess that’s a good thing. Seems to be very thorough. The other security checks are also helpful. Haven't tried the premium features yet so can't comment on those.
5 ★ My phone keeps getting hacked all the time after my ex put something on it. I’ve tried hundreds of apps, but this one is the only one that could remove it - so can definitely recommend it. I like the way you can use it to set a trap to catch someone messing with your phone if your outta the room.
5 ★ I wish they had a VPN, I’d be signing up for that too. Apart from that the app is top notch. I had Certo on my last phone and it was the first app I put on this phone when I got it from the store. The scanner and other parts of the app are really easy and simple to use, even for a non-techie like me. 5 stars.
4 ★ You have to pay to have it scan automatically which is a shame tho its worth it so you can just set and forget. Its easy to use and havent had anything bad happen on my phone since I installed it so thumbs up
5 ★ Easily the best security app I’ve had and tell everyone to get it for their cell too. Seems to perform well, other apps I’ve had slow things down or crash the phone, but Certo is really good so far. Hope this works on the new Samsung.
5 ★ My partner and I both use this and it’s a great app. First time I used it it found a bunch of bad files that I think I accidentally downloaded one time and didn't know where they went. Great to know that it will find and remove anything bad from my phone. Thanks!
5 ★ Not much to say really - it just does what it says, finds and removes spyware. Most apps have a lot of fluff but Certo just has what's required.
5 ★ Love how simple this app is and the security seems really good. First scan took about 20 mins, but seems really complete. Looks like future scans are all done automatically. A++
2 ★ I don't know that many people are going to understand how the apps application is supposed to help ( there's no info nothing more about the whole system of this apps working) I'm confused with what I have to be doing to get more information about it Thanks for the understanding that not everyone is technically savvy!
4 ★ It's a basic spyware app it doesn't really find what you really needed to look for but it finds some things it gives you notices so it's not bad
5 ★ Certo is hands down the best security app i’ve had and I’ve tried a lot. The protection seems really good and love that there’s no ads - seems like all the other apps have a million ads!
5 ★ I keto a tight watch on my phone and know what's what I downloaded just to give it a try to see if it would recognize anything it told me exactly what I already knew that's good that's tells me it is doing its job I would recommend this
5 ★ It’s a pretty good app - nice that it doesn’t have too many ads and seems to do all the important things in the free version. Anyone with a virus should try this app.
1 ★ Absolute joke!!! I know for a fact my phone was remotely hacked because I did it myself to test this and other fake software. Of course came back clean.
1 ★ Worthless you down load it and nothing works unless you pay 12.99 a year for each feature it has. Don't waste your time it's not free and there is not any function to it unless you pay
