Hackers are using this app to swap your browser in and out with out you knowing. Meanwhile they've gotten your info and it does'nt matter how many times you change yor passwords. And I did not even download this app along with a bunch of other apps. I just woke up and found it incorporated with my phone system. So I can't even uninstall this app, it wont let me. Aswell as I have to put at least 1 star to share this.

My phone started bugging out big time, opening random things like my contacts and call logs out of nowhere so I quickly turned it off and started it up again a few minutes later. I went thru all my apps to see what's going on. This is somehow installed on my phone when I never put it there and it won't let me delete it! Wth is going on?! Clearly some type of Spyware. I pay for Aura and this somehow slipped thru. This is terrible and I WILL be reporting it. Do NOT download this!!

RATING 1 STAR SO I CAN LEAVE A REVIEW!! This app keeps adding itself to the list of pre-installed apps on my phone that I can't uninstall. I always uninstall updates, disable and force stop it BECAUSE I WON'T EVER USE IT. Opened it to see what the fuss is about, only to be told that the app is unavailable for my device. If it's unavailable, why does it keep showing up on my damn phone? And why can't I permanently uninstall it instead of just uninstalling updates, which do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

App is being used to hack my phone. Swapping my phone data to someones device as if they were setting up a new phone. Using bluetooth and nearby device connection ALL my information has been taken . Contacts, Apps, Passwords, Pictures everything. This is NOT COOL. And GOOGLE YOU ARE GOING TO PAY BIG TIME

Another mysterious new app on my phone appeared without my knowledge or CONSENT.. read on... Apparently this app can even send calendar invites and info to contacts WITHOUT my knowledge. This hasn't happened, YET. It's ony one of many permissions REQUIRED, whether the user grants access or not. So fed up with these sneaky tech companies doing as they please. The BIG MONEY business of buying, selling, trading and PROFITING of peoples info without ASKING. Many unsuspecting but that's changing.

The app was supposed to run on a fresh device as per the description. But it got updated automatically on my device even though I disabled it. Moreover it was running on background on itself for 10 hours without any reason.
