Since I just downloaded this app, I can't yet comment of its effectiveness. However, one thing that it needs is a way to mark that a wifi network is not a threat. For example, the wifi network in my office is protected - we have to register the MAC address of our device with our corporate support group before we are given access. However, this app claims that it is a threat.

This app wants to control more than your wireless connection. It gives a warning if your phone is not password protected and scans your app for malware. I don't like the additional functions,. I already have AV software and won't be told to secure my phone by any app.

I finally figured out that this app was using a huge amount of battery power and uninstalled it. Most apps are using 1% of my battery power. This one was using 10%. I was wondering why my battery was running down so fast. It's way better after the uninstall.
