I don’t want to be that person, although this issue isn’t solely about you or this specific app. It’s also relevant to other developers who engage in similar practices. Therefore, I apologize if this review receives the most attention because I genuinely enjoyed this concept. BUT Too much “situational” reasoning for data collection is problematic. “We won’t collect your personal sensitive data without your explicit consent.” However, they collect everything else as they see fit, unless someone legally compels them to collect even more of that other data without your consent. Then, it holds it among them and their third-party servers located in multiple countries. I avoid all apps with an “App Store” card stating “data not collected,” “the developer does not collect any data from this app,” but their privacy policy contradicts that claim. You should do the same. Transparency is more important to me than an app. There are other apps that do this right. Examples: “We don’t collect any data from your device; all data is stored locally on your device only. We don’t have servers that transfer it. This app isn’t made for children, but since we don’t collect any data, this doesn’t apply.” “StopTheMadness does not collect any information, and it does not have any analytics. StopTheMadness does not read, use, or share your personal data. StopTheMadness never "phones home". If you email the developer for support, your email address and other information will be kept private and never be shared with anyone.” “uBlock Origin Lite (uBO Lite) does not collect any data of any kind. * uBO Lite has no home server. * uBO Lite doesn't embed any analytic or telemetry hooks in its code. * uBO Lite never makes network request to any remote server. * uBO Lite doesn't accept donations or any other form of financing.” This is a clear and straightforward message. If you don’t have any policies like this, I would delete the app and give you the review you deserve. This is for all developers. Please refrain from using excessive data jargon. If an app cannot be fully utilized without data collection (excluding email contact), it is inappropriate to display, “data not collected.” This is a straightforward matter. Your sensitive data, non-sensitive data, and/or “anonymous aggregated data” is valuable to people. Before collecting data, please let me know. I have numerous apps that explicitly state they collect data, such as maps. I choose to allow you to have that data rather than hiding behind the claim of “data not collected.” In a “data not collected” app, “consent” should not be required to use all functions. Privacy-focused apps must be more responsible.
The latest update has put this in the top five security-related apps available on iOS. You can’t get some of these features on top names, like Adguard. I can’t wait to see where this goes. Buy while you can because this price seems too good to be true for long.
I know with current pace we all seem to travel now Days I would like to Stop and take the time to Thank the Developer for such a great 5 Star Design app that really helps you myself and our family! Security is so so important now Days due to the people who invented the words Scam Fraud and so on! They are cooks who want our money and identity if they can get that far. Thanks to the Time Hard work ( sweat ) and love this Developer has put into the coding of this software for you myself and our family to protect us from the words I just mentioned! I hope if you read this you will download this app and really give it a try!!! I don’t believe you will be sorry! ( really ) for myself this 5 Star Design app works outstandingly for my system and family. So Mr Developer I Tip my Hat to you and truly truly say “ Thanks “
