I'm trialling the App at present and finding it a little hard to get used to. One thing I have noticed is that in accepting the trial, I opted for the level of cover that costs around £20.00 per year but as the trial has reached its last day or two, I have been advised that I will be paying £44 per year. This is a bit unsettling. I feel as if Ive been duped into buying the higher grade of cover. Perhaps I pressed the wrong button in accepting the trial?

Totally dodgy experience when trying to get the 7-day free trial and subscri Payments wasn't clear, then it asked me if I wanted to confirm with a backup payment which I don't want to do as I wanted to rely on the other one attached to my Google account it totally came up with random messages, saying that I couldn't use the app I actually went in just to check my subscriptions, and it's actually subscribed! so not only could I not use the app, they were going to charge me as well

A good app and I recommend it. My situation could be unusual though, I got an offer for a yearly subscription for £33, that seemed to come up in a pop-up screen. I have also had issues where both the VPN and safe browsing has turned itself off and the app has disappeared from my phone completely with the VPN disconnecting too. I don't want to speak badly as the app is comprehensive and has easy to use antivirus features.

What’s new

This update contains bug fixes and performance improvements. We know. Everyone says that. But we actually did it - the app is faster, a few annoying things are gone, and one bug that had been living rent-free in our backlog has finally been evicted. Thanks for keeping us around.
