rate_review Editor's Take

LogicAPK editorial

ESET Mobile Security Antivirus sits at 4.7 stars across 1 million ratings on Google Play, and is still building an audience.

That score is hard to fake on a utility app — it usually signals a tool that stays out of your way, does one thing well, and doesn't pepper you with upsells.

ESET is the publisher behind this release; we'd suggest taking a quick look at their other titles on Google Play if the style clicks with you. The last visible update lands 2026-01-28, which is a small but useful signal that the team is still shipping fixes rather than treating the app as abandoned.
