Ratings and reviews

In my opinion its user interface has excessive redundancy. It makes the app - ESET Home - seem more complicated than it really is. There are three different ways of getting to most of the individual subject matters. Why? That's a lot of extra code, which means more opportunities for a coder to make some mistake, and less time devoted to careful thought on the fewer sections of code that are actually integral. I think there can be an elegance in simplicity, but perhaps it is a matter of taste.

Connection error, 500 internal server error. App stopped working after renewing and upgrading ESET on my desktops and connecting them to myESET. Reinstalling the app did not work. Disconnecting VPN did not help. Error seems to be on their end. Otherwise they make excellent products. Long time user. 1 star for now until issue is cleared up. Edit 7/2/21 : Issue seems to have cleared up after an update. Thanks.

My original review was not fair. What I thought was a glitch in the app was just an update I needed on my phone. My bad! I love Eset and have been using it for all my devices for over 10yrs now. Everyone who I've recommended them to for anti-virus protection always thanks me because they deliver such impeccable software that no other company can compete with.

What's new

- Improved: The app locks itself (PIN / biometrics) after it was in the background for more than 3 minutes and even after the device was locked
