Dr. Safety 2.0.1022
Dr. Safety is a nifty virus scanning system, packed with lots of features that you'll surely need on your phone.
Intuitive and sleek interface
Not many apps come with a tutorial or instructions on how to use the app and get accustomed to its features and Dr. Safety is no exception. It does however have an intuitive interface, with plenty of tools at hand, although the layout doesn't resemble any of the other apps we've come across.
Access features by swiping the screen up and tap on the 'hamburger' icon on the top right corner of the screen to access settings and to rate the app. It comes with an icon in the status bar and the option of setting up an account for full protection and additional features. You'll only need to provide an email address and your location.
Check your device for malware
Simply tap on the check icon to have your device checked for malware and to find problems that the app may fix. Dr. Safety doesn't take long to diagnose your system and tell you what's wrong. The privacy risk scan warns you of apps that could potentially steal your private information or deliver aggressive advertising.
The app even informs you of the actions it's taking and tells you which apps take up personal information. Log into your Facebook account and let the app tell you if you're having any privacy issues and help you fix them. It also scans your device without it being connected to the internet. It comes with an App Booster.
Block calls, get protection against theft and browse the web safely
It also packs a set of more features. You can use the app to scan your device for security threats or use the safe web surfing feature to have a balanced protection without blocking minor risks. You can also block calls, but only if you install a complementary app created by the same developer.
Dr. Safety can also provide you with suggestions of safe games and apps that you can try out. Not many apps offer free protection against theft, but Dr. Safety does. Visit the developers website to locate, scream, wipe and lock a lost device.
