I like this app. There is one major issue. A scan revealed that I am vulnerable because I have enabled installation from unknown sources. The option to change that setting is given, but the apps listed are checked as "not allowed." Perplexing! The app with this unauthorized special permission is never identified, which makes a change impossible. I even added the specific app to the ignore list in hopes of identification. This was ineffective. Frustration runs amok. Please advise.

Years ago i used this app, the pro version, and it did identify a back- door andro rat. At the time i was very impressed. Its reassuring to me the way the permissions are done with this app. Its trustworthy. It notifies but then restart the scan, potentially losing info. And to have to reinstall after update, or to regularly re-install at all is certainly, a drawback. I like the app I am just curious how current the app is with all its services.

I've had it for YEARS on googledrive, since 09' I've used it on and off I think it only needs to be UPgraded to it's potential

Privacy scanner pro hasn't caught anything yet. It's just a gut feeling. I get weird bursts of notice chimes without new notice message. I just might be paranoid but the app hangs for about 30 seconds at about 99% with a message/notice telling me 'The scanner is still scanning. Please wait until the scan has been completed' at least 4 times. i also keep getting 'Privacy Scanner Pro stop working' notices. Ever since that 50,000,000 FB accounts were hacked.

Free version works great but beware of pro. It would be fantastic if I got what I paid for. Instead I paid for a broken app that does nothing but crash as soon as you open it. I've never been able to use the app, not once. Very disappointing.

This is a great app it can't be removed even though some systems on my Samsung phone tried to remove it it even said that it was uninstalled but it was still installed and it searched out at they go for settings that they're not supposed to without permission another words turn your mic camera video record without your knowledge or permission change app settings when you change them some apps changing right back

Do NOT download!! The regular one worked on my phone and I liked it so I purchased the Pro. BIG MISTAKE!!! It won't even open on my phone. I have emailed the maker and sent log reports and screenshots of what it's doing SMS have not gotten a response at all. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Edit: 2/15/23 Much better since recent fixes. Thank you! 12/17/2022 Update is good. Found a bunch of apps that had been side loaded with 3rd party escalated permission clones. Not sure why I can't download pro without paying for it again though....help?
