Especially in Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, Cubot has an important market hold in local consumers with very good reputation.

According to internationally renowned mobile application analytics company Distimo Statistics, Cheetah’s clean up master ranked first in 62 countries on the Google Play tool chart in June 2014. As of August 18, 2014, Clean Master has been rated 4.7 from more than 13 million user reviews in Google Play. This score is more than what Google Maps, Facebook and other highest rated apps have achieved.
