Sophos Mobile Security user reviews:
Good Test results, fast, no ads, easy to use and free! Great work. Thank you. Update (2019/02/11): My experience supports my initial opinion. Reliable, doesn’t need many resources. Check on it after major system updates. Once it got lost, don’t know why. Few clicks and all was fine again.
Works very well, unless you have brackets at the start and end of your password. Remote lock is a very nice feature and the ability to scan SD card content is nice too. Would agree with some other reviews that an AV aspect ought to be introduced. If it were i would pay a couple of pounds a year to license. Only put 4 stars due to being beta (so finished product may vary greatly or not ever exist) and due to the lack of AV. Otherwise perfect.
Thankyou face book! You are doing a wonderful job… And I know the UK is running our world! Amen. Godspeed!!!
Just installed it yesterday. I’m impressed with the UI and small footprint. I hope it will continue to be free and add more features.
Not only scans for malware, but also has a feature for tracking lost phone. That is awesome. Didn’t give 5 stars coz there is still scope for improvement, like virus scan, scan settings for automatic scanning every day or week or so.
I use Sophos on my PC and it has been great. I’m glad to see that Sophos has expanded to Android. This is obviously a Beta version. But things that cam be improved would be like live internet security, website advisors embedded within the Android browser, and the ability to move the application to SD card. I’ll continue using avast for now.
