It does all the work you need it to so that you are able to use your device without getting it hacked into or overwhelmed by software updates and security situations which can actually affect your device and it's performance level that it's expected to functionally carry out. Can't do anything without it.

The Google play app is very buggy. It's instructs to download. Update etc. Nothing helps the performance of my device. I am leary of going back to factory settings as I do not want to lose certain things o have on my device. Tried taking it on to let the techs work with it. They seem as clueless as I am. Not impressed at all with this device Google services. I basically call out and text with no issues. The rest is a headache.
