I tried to use this app. It didn't do anything it says it does. The ad that was doing all the pop ups was able to turn the permissions off on this app every time it popped up an ad. Kinda made this app pointless. So if you have "IC image converter" on your phone, that's what is probably pop up ads.

Pop-up ads took over my phone. With everything that I did, two pages of ads would pop-up. It was so annoying. I got rid of some aps, but it didn't stop. I got this Popup Ad Detector and at first it didn't work. It's because I hadn't granted all the permission needed. Once I did that, this app identified two apps that were causing the ads. I deleted them and now the pop-up ads are gone. Thanks so much!
