Ratings and reviews

Has been REALLY effective at blocking dangerous websites, and for scanning device for harmful entities. It falls dead flat for blocking scam calls, and it isn't the easiest user-interface for getting rid of potentially dangerous apps, if you decide to get rid of them at later time, so you can research them, it isn't made simple... Overall, a good app for keeping device safe. My older buddy is on my plan, and he has sites block as dangerous every day, for good reason...

Update: App now works. It does an adequate job of managing subscriptions for your devices and allowing remote control of said devces. However, expect to always have a Bitdefender product pushed on you while in the app. You are encouraged to download the VPN and parental controls constantly, even if you have those services from other providers available. Or to cover more devices, you may or may not have. AppLock does it's job, but the Network Scanner is inaccurate at best.

Been using it for 2 years. Haven't had any issues. In that time, I've installed it on all of my devices and shared it with my Mother and a few friends that only had free versions of other apps. It isn't really expensive. And renewal is 30% off. Just renewed it yesterday. Best out, and I've used McAfee, Norton, Total AV, and a few that I cannot remember the names of. Seems that all of the free versions spend way too much time. I will stick with Bitdefender, and now they have a password App.
