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.

It keeps notifying me that it's on, every time I enter or exit a safe application it shows up, and it seems to be on a ten minute timer between notification, or maybe 5. It's annoying and kinda unnerving at times. Watching YouTube about fictional villains, boom the notification pops up; The app's good and it's trusty, but it doesn't let you breath. Update: turning off notifications only works until you shut off your device, when you turn it back on, it turns itself back on. That should be fixed.

Really good at catching spam texts and protecting my phone overall, but the latest update is DRAINING my battery. I used to be able to make it to around 7pm before my battery was in the 30% range, now it's in the 30's by 2pm. Almost no phone usage today and I'm down to 85% within 90 minutes of taking it off the charger. I'm losing about 1% every 5 minutes or so. If this isn't fixed, I'll have to uninstall and go with a different security app
