I'm a paid user. This app didn't let me even log in since months now. It always gives the same error that something went wrong. Waste of money buying the subscription. Not able to login itself, so I can't even enter the app. Sending logs is also not working. Tried clearing the cache too, didn't work. Still not able to login. Gives the below error 500 smb entitlement api failed. After the update, it gives unsuccessful response 424

Pathetic experience! You don't have to start scanning all apps everytime the phone is plugged in. With heavy usage, I charge my phone at least 2-3 times a day, and boom, your scanning starts. Significantly slows down all other processes and the overall functioning of the phone. At least provide a disable or scheduling option for the scans.

Worst android app ever, logging out automatically from my account and I have to re-login everyday, sometimes multiple times a day!!! Talked to their support team many times, after trying everything they are not able to resolve the issue in many weeks. Not a very professional approach for such a big brand name.
