Ratings and reviews

i love McAfee on my computer, but the notifications on the phone app are out of control. the same notifications pop up repeatedly despite being dismissed again and again. I tried to manage them, but they still would repeatedly spam my notification bar with the same notifications. Only solution was to turn off notifications, but now it can't notify me when I actually need it to warn me. I shouldn't have to choose between spam notifications and no notifications for an anti-virus app.

Usually, I would rate it higher, but Something is very wrong with the latest update. One minute it notifies me "24/7 protection is ON" (as it should be); next, it says "sign in to resume anti-virus and web protection" (which should still be on and not need resumption). Then, when I try to sign in, the app hangs and won't let me get to the screen where I would enter credentials or biometrics. It's been like this for days now. FIX this, please!

My experience so far is Since I Left this review I've been logged out and can't log back in, even though it's been scanning my phone continuously though apparently I don't have an account, can't login, but if I try using my email it creates another account with no subscription. 2 years of protection void after 5 days. I was expecting this same reply! support doesn't load properly,no help there! I need to talk to a human not bots or complaining customers on your dodgy website, you can contact me
