AppWatch : Find what app is causing pop-up ads

This app does exactly what it says it does, shows every program that launches. Very interesting peek into what goes on behind the scenes. Good opportunity to trim down unnecessary apps. 5 stars, very simple and clean interface. Ads are nearly unnoticeable.

I was literally losing my mind trying to figure out how I started getting pop up ads that would show up in the middle of something, and completely shut things down. I did a search on Play Store and found and installed AppWatch, and I have been more than happy with it!! The first time an ad popped up after I istalled it, I ran the check, and found it was a flashlight app I had installed about a year ago!! I happily deleted that app, and haven't had a pop up ad since! Highly recommend this!

I wish I could give this 20 stars!! For 2 months I've been dealing with pop up ads every time I unlocked my phone. This started after the latest Android update. I've tried all kinds of things to get rid of them. Finally heard about AppWatch and installed it. Followed the instructions and when the ad popped up I checked the app notification and it listed Photo Editor as the culprit. I uninstalled it and no more ads since! Thank you so much!!!

I only downloaded this about 6 hours ago. I've been having non-stop random popups on my phone. They've disrupted phone calls, video chats, watching videos, etc. I tried several apps that were suggested by blogs; none of them worked and were extremely confusing. Like I said, SIX hours. And it managed to help me find the app. I am so beyond grateful for this app! This is a brand new phone and it was so slow and laggy. Oh and it gives clear directions and was so simple, a caveman could do it. ;)

Was considering buying a new phone because mine was so polluted with pop-up ads. I tried for weeks removing apps and adding apps to try to stop pop-ups. I have to leave my phone on overnight for business and the pop-ups were waking me up to three times through the night. Driving me crazy. And in less than 24 hours using your app to hunt down and remove the guilty apps. I have not seen one pop up yet. Where before I would have had 10 or 12. And seems battery is lasting longer.. Thanx

Perfect for ads! I started getting annoying popup adds that filled my entire screen, so this app is perfect in finding that app if youre up for doing some investigating. It doesnt flat out tell you which app is the cause of the ads, so youll have to use your brain. As soon as an ad pops up, I open AppWatch (which is conviniently located in the notification bar) & usually the app causing the problem would be at the top of the list. Ever since, I've had no ads and my phone works like new. Ty guys!

This is a GREAT app.. did exactly what it says it'll do. I had deleted nearly all the apps on my Note 9. Removed my gmail and other email apps. I couldn't figure out what was causing the pop up ads. I was about to reformat when I saw this app. It turned out the navy keyboard was causing the popups.. this did not show anywhere in my apps listed nor on AVG. Thank you AppWatch.. I wish I saw you sooner, it'd have saved me hours of frustration. Larry

Honestly love this app. Just recently got a new phone, and naturally I was checking out new apps. All of a sudden there where adds poping up randomly, when I would open my dial pad, or opened Facebook, or open a text. I couldn't figure out what was going on, I even called my cell phone carrier and they couldn't help me other then to tell me to install and third party add blocker, which also wasn't helpful. Finally I found app watch. Within an hour I found the app causing the issue.😍😍

I am really in love with this app. I don't usually give feedback BUT I couldn't do otherwise BUT to give this feedback. I have been having an annoying ad that was playing video for like three months and I couldn't trace where it was coming from. It was blocking my whole screen and it could come any time. I was really pissed off. Lucky enough this app helped me to identify the culprit and I uninstalled the stupid app that was bringing the annoying ads. Thanks people

I just started using this app and I didn't really expect much because of my past experiences with others. Surprisingly so far this works perfectly, it tells you which apps you've used with the popup ads and the period of time. Since I've been using it the popup ads have reduced drastically. I love it and would definitely recommend this app. Thumbs up to this program writer.

My phone had me on the verge of throwing it out the window with random pop up ads. It would happen any time, anywhere...even in the middle of the night. In 3 minutes I was able to identify the app causing the issue, and it was one I hadn't even downloaded. Very happy with this!!!

Was initially a good app. Showed great potential. Became disappointed when it didn't continue to run as as expected when needed. IE. It indicates its running but when opened fully, has no display of recent apps or profiles of last sourced app data exchange, after prolonged use. "Not... Happy... Jan ! 2 weeks have passed. App appears to be back to its full potential. Much better. Further continued use finds this app comfortably opperating as per its stated perrameters. Happy with its performance

Does exactly what it says it does. I was getting pop-ups on my home screen over all other apps. Tried to get rid of it via numerous recommendations on websites, etc... Didnt want to factory reset. Came across this app. It works as stated, I removed the app and no issues since.

Hello, I've left five reviews and also an email or two on a problem I'm having with the app it randomly shuts off for no apparent reasons especially after a phone restart/power off I have to keep Manually turning it back on. I also have this app on another phone and the app stays on via power off / restart. I hope you guy / guys will put this into consideration and work on a fix.

Where AVG, Malwarebytes and the rest failed tbis worked. Honestly i was driving me up the wall where all thesr pop-ups were coming from. I ran about three different antiviruses on this thing and none did anything. The installed this and within a few seconds there was another pop up and i found it was 'Easy Scanner' that was doing it. An uninstall later and everything is fine.

I started randomly getting ads pop up on my phone. I downloaded this thinking it wasnt going to work and it told me the second i got an ad to go into the app through the notification. I did it and it told me what was causing it and i uninstalled and it stopped. Would highly recommend downloading if you get random ads on your phone.

Excellent app!!! I was annoyed with pop up ads in my phone for a few days and tried everything i could do in browser settings to put a stop to it. Learned about apps of this kind from a youtube video and decided to install one. The one i installed was appwatch. It showed me the app that was causing the pop up full screen ads. Uninstalled the app and wow!!!! Thanks app watch team...

This app helped me to determine which app was causing annoying pop-up ads that would break through on my phone at any moment, regardless of what I was doing on my phone. All I did was wait for a pop-up ad to appear and went to this app to discover which of my apps had the most recent activity after the pop-up ad and I then uninstalled that app. No more pop-up ads since.
