Certo needs to do better to give themselves real credibility

I have Certo subscription for years but when I came to use it on my app it treated me as if I was just a potential extra customer!!!! I did use their chat system that did seem to reassure me and they are promising to fix this. Am I the only person to have found this though? I wait to see how long it takes them to fix this issue and compensate me for being their final tester.

Reply from Certo Software

Hi Steve, thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. You're absolutely right that existing customers shouldn't be prompted as though they need to repurchase — that's not the experience we want to deliver.

We want to be transparent: the current free iOS app and your Certo AntiSpy subscription are separate products, which is the root cause of the issue. We're actively working on a new version of the app that will fix this by supporting account login and recognising existing customers. We expect it to be available within the next few months.

We appreciate you raising this — feedback like yours is exactly what helps us improve. We hope the update, when it lands, restores your confidence in Certo.

Easy to use and gave me peace of mind


I used Certo after I became concerned about the security of my phone, and I’m really glad I did. The software was easy to install, straightforward to use, and explained everything in a way that didn’t feel overly technical or confusing.
The scan was thorough and helped put my mind at ease. I also appreciated that the results were clearly explained along with recommendations, instead of just vague warnings. Overall, Certo delivered exactly what it promised and gave me confidence that my device was secure. I would definitely recommend it to anyone worried about spyware or phone security.

Great peace of mind with Certo Software!!!

Certo Software has been a great tool for keeping my device safe. It’s helped protect me from viruses and malware, giving me real peace of mind. The software is easy to use, runs smoothly in the background, and does exactly what it promises without being intrusive.

I feel much more confident knowing my system is protected, and I’d definitely recommend Certo to anyone looking for reliable and straightforward security software.

Great Mobile Cybersecurity Software!

The Certo Software was easy to navigate and worked perfectly! Fairly priced, simple to use, and most of all exactly as advertised. Highly recommend for any other looks to bolster their cybersecurity.

I felt safe after Certo checked my phone.

I felt safe that Certo was running on a known good laptop or workstation, scanning my phone via usb cord to perform thorough checks of my phone including its operating system files. I suspected my phone had been compromised by a scam. Certo was so simple to install and run, I was lucky, I found I did not need to wipe my phone. It was ok.

Peace of Mind

Fantastic app! It’s the first one I’ve used that has given me peace of mind concerning key-loggers. Unlike other apps it does an in depth scan. Great price for what it does. Well worth it!

Just wow 🤩

The program works!

Hey there, certo did an excellent job doing what it said it would do best. It removed a tracker off my iPhone and kept It that way as far as I can tell. I’ve had enough of dealing with hackers over the years. I’d recommend this to anyone.

I absolutely love my Certo app and subscription, I have multiple devices for myself, family and home business and Certo provides security and peace of mind that each device is secure. Especially for my kids’ electronics!

Its user interface is easy to use and the price can’t be beat. I absolutely would recommend Certo to anyone struggling with teaching older family (like my mom) computer safety, or with kids who just aren’t aware yet, tech savvy user, or a business owner.

Great iPhone and android scanner

Great iPhone and android scanner, gives advice for encryption if you don’t have it on and can scan backups! If you have advanced encryption it may not find backup on your iPhone in windows but still scans phone!

I purchased Certo Antispy software…

I purchased Certo Antispy software because I thought my IPhone had gotten compromised after receiving a notification from an app that my phone had been “jailbroken” which I certainly did not do. Purchase was easy and the software was easy to download and use on my Apple laptop with my iPhone connected to the laptop via USB to lightning cable. Software scanned my phone and the process took about 45 minutes to complete. Nothing suspicious found on my phone which gave me peace of mind. No complaints, simple, easy to use software at a reasonable price.

Peace of Mind

I have recently installed Certo software on all my Apple devices after receiving a ransomware demand which claimed that someone had installed spyware on my devices and that they would only remove it if I paid the ransom! Certo was the only software I could find to specifically deal with this kind of threat. The installation process was straightforward and I was relieved to be able to thoroughly scan my devices. Fortunately they were found to be clean so the ransom demand was a scam. I now have the Certo app on my iOS devices and routinely use it.
For me, Certo Software has provided peace of mind at a very reasonable cost and I would recommend it to anyone.

CERTO is an incredible team

CERTO is an incredible tool for the present threats we face regarding Privacy and Data Security. Not only is the Auto Scan engine es effective and practical the technical support team of experts is outstanding; I have the excellent experience of being guided by Mark Flitcroft, which impresses me highly. The reply time was immediate, my doubts were cleared out, and I successfully solved my technical challenges. This is an excellent blend between high-standard cybersecurity software and human close response.

I have used this for a few months now but I still think that my device is being observed and/or controlled by someone else. I really don't think any of these malware apps work. I've used all of the major ones & they've yet to detect. I think my sim is cloned.
