About this app

Free your phone from potential spyware and ads! This app detects all annoyances of apps installed on your phone, such as Push Notifications, Desktop icon spam ads and apps with privacy concerns or spyware. It identifies the adware and allows you to then remove the apps that violate your privacy.

- Concerns such as Push Notifications (both ads and non-ads), putting spam icons on your desktop, and privacy related concerns such as the ability to access your location, contacts, messages or accounts.

- Android Ad Networks; this app tells you which ad networks are embedded in apps, such as Admob, Millennial Media, ChartBoost, TapJoy and many smaller ones. Indicates which ones may have push ads.

Wow!!! I dont review a lot of apps, but this one helped me so much!!! I've been getting pop ups for such a long time and it was so irking and annoying - but I didn't want to factory reset my phone, and then, I stumbled upon this app. As I went through the app's security concerns, I found an app with no name, icon or whatever. When I clicked on it, I saw a bunch of advertising companies and stuff. This app not only showed me where it was, but allowed me to directly access my settings so I could delete it. I am quite happy and pleased to say I haven't had any pop up ads since then. Seriously, great work. I dont know what I would've done without this app.

It's Fair. *When I click on About, it's a link for an app ad, it's not info about this app, bummer. *I will clear a notification by clicking on the app (which shows 999+) listed in the Notification Statistics. It did clear the 999+ entries. But the when viewing the Statistics list, the app is still listed showing 999+. "This app needs an improved method clearing Notifications.

Made mo difference. Even allowed pop-ups when I was using my phone to NAVIGATE, thereby blocking the screen and upcoming turns!!! AppBrain asked me to elaborate: Since I uninstalled their app, I have seen NO difference in the frequency of pop-ups - the app does not do anything. It even kept allowing pop-up ads while I was using my phone to navigate. The pop-up would block nav screen, so you could NOT see it, forcing you to look away from the road to find the "X" to close the pop-up. DANGEROUS!
