so, this app is an obvious scam - it vaguely claims to do the impossible (non-root apps cannot configure swap and you would not want them to) - yet it:
* has 5M+ downloads
* has 100K+ reviews averaging more than 4/5 stars
* collects and shares your location, app activity, photos, personal info with third parties
* contains ads and in-app purchases
but google still allows it up on the play store, and we're supposed to believe we need google to keep us safe from malicious apps?
