Ratings and reviews

Downloading this app is the biggest mistake I've made in a while. Everything seemed fine until my phone started having a problem charging. I'd plug-in for 10 hours and it won't exceed 23-25%. Sometimes it would rapidly rise to 100% and an hour later the battery would flat out. I thought of taking the phone for repair, but I've only had it for a few months. Thankfully I had a hunch the app may be to blame, and my gut feelings were right! Your app sucks a lot of a**. I'm done.

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.
