Worked exactly as I assumed, scanned all apps for malicious intent and/or activity to allow me to uninstall some or change app permissions on some. Doesn't change anything on your system, leaves you to do this manually which is a feature (?) I prefer. No ads and easy to use interface. Would recommend.

App does exactly what it says. It will uninstall an app with the touch of a button as long as its not a pre-installed one. Although it may work on rooted phones but am not sure. Download it today, try it out. 😎
