It continually marks junk files as files I have not used in a while. It should allow you to see what it's marking as junk so you can make a decision. second, as of newest update it refuses to back up mms, sms, call logs, saying I must go into app and approve back up. There is no setting for that in any of those apps nor in Us Cell Protect. Then it keeps sending me emails about the junk files for 2 years now. Please address the above issues.

Molly, thanks for the Junk Cleaner feedback. We plan on making some changes in the future. We are aware of the MMS/SMS/call log issue and were required to remove the permissions to back these up by Google as we are not a texting/calling app. We hope to find a solution to this issue. Please email support@pocketgeek.com with questions.

When I first got my phone through USC this app worked great! Now I've had my phone for almost 3 years and this app crashes constantly and causes my phone to crash, will not allow me to send error reports back to the developer and I am just frustrated & don't know what to do? Hello! I am excited to inform anyone who might read this review that my issue was promptly fixed and the developer reached out to me fast! They also checked back to make sure that I was doing ok & no further issues!

Lost my phone. When I received a replacement I tried to restore my data, pics, ect that I had been backing up on the old phone to the new one. No dice. Contacted support and after an impersonal conversation via e-mail I was told I had never performed a backup on the old phone which is hard to believe because I remember performing a number of backups because this was one of the main reasons I pay for this service!! Would not rely on this product to reliably back up your data!!!
