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.

I'd give them ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because the app itself generally works fine! But... there is a failure that irritates me a lot..! The MS App lock feature..! I understand that applications should be locked, if I want them to be locked. But come on... it is a bit too pesky when you have to unlock them every single time, over and over, even if they were minimised. Please, add a feature/possibility to make some apps stay unlocked in session. Thank you.

I keep getting 404 errors on both my Tablet and phone, can't login on my mcafee account (not a slow internet issue). I'm definitely gonna swap to some other antivirus, maybe Avast since I had no problems after trying it on my other device (after mcafee refused me to login on my account with multi device license). And the only way to contact support is chat or a call, I guess email is no longer a thing. Interface also needs a lot of work, there's no allowed customisation to all the settings.
