Which one is the best phone security app for you?

Security has become such an important aspect when it comes to owning a mobile device. Regardless of your preference, be it Android or iPhone, users have become rapidly informed in all matters involving security. Android might be an open source system, but third-party developers are coming out with apps that can take on Apple’s security system at any time of the day. iPhone users, on the other hand, can rest assured of Apple’s heavily secured and encrypted database. But the onus is still in the hands of the users to ensure their data and privacy are safely secured.
Several of the basic functions of a good phone security app these days are listed as having an antivirus, device and data theft prevention, intelligent diagnosis (booster and cleaner), and VPN connection, to name a few. But which one is the best security app for you? Check out these reviews and decide for yourself.
