I have used it and its almost flawless. The app manager is great and there are many scanning and update options. I have been using it since release. Sometimes the scanning time is a bit slow but usually its when I am not using the device anyway. :)

Yeah, I used it before. I have never had my android phone infected since I don't install apps from 3rd party sources. I use 360 security on my phone because it has a cleaner and provides a flashlight option on the notification bar.

I tried it, but I didn't find it useful as other security apps.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware may dominate on the Windows platform, but the same cannot be said for Android or Mac.

Out of curiosity why did you not find the app useful? Which AV for an andrioid would you use?
I personally found the privacy audit and app manager to be really good. :)

App Managers are very common, nothing extra-ordinary about it. Privacy Audits provides details, but nothing more, expect peak your paranoia.

I upgraded to Android Marshmallow recently, and the new granular controls for permissions are far superior than before.

Same for me! I found it to be a good program but just as @Huracan replied I have found other Security options to be more useful.
