Downloaded this thinking it was a security app like Citizens as I am using them for work projects. It isn't and that is okay, I thought I would use it for the features that protect your phone. NOT WORTH IT! It consumes too much battery power! Thought something was wrong with my phone and am relieved I don't have to replace it as I like the nostalgia of having a note9.

Same as others are reporting, over the last few months the has started drain in ng my battery, as of this morning this app was responsible for 44% of battery usage in the last 24 hours. That said I've had this installed on my last three phones and like the functionality it provides... But not the recent battery eating behaviour.

Not very good at doing its job! My browser which is Google's chrome keeps getting hijacked by a piece of malware thats pretty common called trusted push thats been around for a while on the net. It didn't even detect it and that piece of malware has been around for a while. So c'mon NYC SECURE if you can't even protect my phone from this I don't feel like its worth giving a positive recommendation.
