Forget the other apps! My Dad recommended this to me as his workplace uses it. If a big company has this on all of their technology then it must be working. It's completely free (not free trial) free from payment ever! Super easy to use. Very sophisticated and sleek! Just a few clicks and you can secure your phone! It's simply a miracle, after trying multiple different virus softwares this beats them all by a mile!
sophos is one of the very best if not the best android Antivirus, love the new look.. sophos is the only antivirus with no ads. ***problem when you push to scan manually the button seem to freeze and not working, the other security and option buttons work fine. **and also in the notification area, put a tab to access sophos, scan, wifi and scan, password saver on it.
Sophos is the only security I have for many years for my Android smartphones from Samsung Note 2 to Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. I use my phone for personal as well as professional tasks and I have never been interrupted by Sophos Intercept X. The question is why my phone battery does not drain? Well, when you use social media apps your battery drains quickly. These social media spying apps run at background all the time sending and receiving data and you blame Sophos Intercept X for your own stupidity. You have Sophos to keep your phone checked and Sophos does that. If you remove stupid spying apps, your battery will not drain. Is it not simple? Thank you Sophos for keeping my Android smartphones safe for years and also thank you for saving me many bucks.
So far this app is awesome and I had a hacker and I installed this app and I haven't seen or heard anything from my hacker yet, thank God! So far I really appreciate all that this app is doing for me! I don't really understand what some things on the app means like to turn on certain things and turn off certain content, so if I need to change anything then please let me know! Sincerely, Susan N.
Took over my tablet like a virus.
Uninstalling because its lousy garbage
better than kaspersky
Drains battery MORE than any other app on my phone. Edit: A year later and it's STILL killing the battery!
Ok so I left a review in 2019 and gave it 5 stars.. But now on Android 11 it's good but it delays apps from popping up and it asks to unlock with fingerprint again.. This is a annoying bug so I uninstalled it and am giving it 2 stars...
