What users are saying

1. It's horrifying to think that, I believe, that those pics were really only a location description so, the pics are likely redistributed back into the locations they came from up to 10 years ago!!!The app keeps sending a notification when the battery is low, but it pauses the wireless charge to tell me that it's low! I cannot force stop or turn off the notification, so it keeps pausing the charge and increasing the amount of time it takes to get my phone battery charged up.

2. One for removing important documents and one for not being able to see and select what's being removed.The darn thing sends alerts telling me apps are scheduled for deep sleep.

3. This is very frustrating, and I would uninstall it if I wasn't sure it wouldn't cause a phone issue.If you work on files within the phone, creat folders, etc, do not trust this app's recommendations for "unnecessary files." It will delete data files that you don't want deleted.

4. Every day, several times a day, the app will keep pestering you with notifications about apps using battery power or data in the background, despite certain apps having been given explicit permission allowing that.

5. Easier to manage the files myself in the first place.Samsung store says it's not compatible with my device , yet won't let me remove it and it doesn't do what it says it will do.

6. And no it doesn't Detects malware (viruses, spyware) or provide real-time protection for smartphones; it just does this little thing and puts a :-)Best app.

7. When u TURN ON this mode, for when someone else has your phone, like to be repaired, the phone hides EVERYTHING on ur phone (xcept pre-installed apps) so it can't be accessed.

8. This app is not using much battery at all, and the reason listed says "for sending too many notifications", but it sends none at all.

9. Since this app seems to minimally help with my ridiculous battery drain, please fix!Can't turn off notifications! This is highly annoying.

10. When you click on the gear to the right of the notification, the option is grayed out, stating "notifications for this app cannot be turned off".

11. Secondly, even though I am putting some apps to sleep, it does not seem to be working.
