CM security is known to be the best security app. Good thing about it is that now it also comes with an antivirus.
So, I have been using it for the 6 months and im disappointed to say it has failed to meet my expectations.
I basically use this app for security purposes like app locking. Since it has a built in support for fingerprint scanner, it does the job but the other features it has are almost useless for me considering the fact that it keeps running in the background all the time and takes up a lot of memory as well ( about 100 mb of ram)
So for those running low end phones like moto e, it will rather decrease the performance rather than increase which is not a good thing : /
It keeps telling me false informations about memory amd viruses. As I go into phone boost, it says memory usage is over 70% and as I click optimize, it does something and then says memory usage 35%
However, I can see that all the apps still keep running in the background. Then how does it optimize the memory? Moreover, when I go into system memory from settings, the phone UI tells me the average memory usage to be 1.8 mb which clearly tells that clearing ram makes no change in the performance on your smartphone because even if you kill the apps using third party app, the next time you open them, memory will again get filled up and the average memory usage will still be about the same.
Anyways, I dont need to worry about this because im using a moto g plus ( 3gb model) which has an excellemt memory management and for the same reason, I dont clear the running app at all usually. Because if I close them, the next time open them, they will load slower and I dont want that.
Well. The junk cleaner works fine and I didnt find any problem with it whatsoever but antivirus? I still doubt if I really need it but probablt not! I have used it 100s of time and never found a single issue. Android is already optimized to block third party apps and no virus will ever come into your phone unless you download it or copy it from someone else.
So, for now im rating this app 2 stars
1 for the junk cleaner
1 for the app-lock
Though I think, app lock rather makes the phone slower because it makes apps to take about 2-3 seconds longer to load but if you want security, obviously you would not like to make compromises. So just analyze your needs and decide if you need it or not. : /
