    My phone started bugging out big time, opening random things like my contacts and call logs out of nowhere so I quickly turned it off and started it up again a few minutes later. I went thru all my apps to see what's going on. This is somehow installed on my phone when I never put it there and it won't let me delete it! Wth is going on?! Clearly some type of Spyware. I pay for Aura and this somehow slipped thru. This is terrible and I WILL be reporting it. Do NOT download this!!

    I just can't believe that this app has bin in disguise almost hidden in the background this amount of time all along!!! I now know that I have unleashed a great discovery that these cockroaches have bin lurking and spying on our every move Even when I'm in the shower I bet!!!
