This app works good. Not too laggy, and I actually think it's doing what it says it does. The reason I give it 3 stars is because of how many features you have to pay to use. Like the photo vault for example. It's an EXTREMELY helpful feature- but I can only put 10 photos in it before I have to pay for premium. I think maybe it could be extended to 20 (just a suggestion) or whatnot. And I understand that the developers have to have money to fund the app. I just wish there was more features. ⭐⭐⭐

Hey, thanks for taking your time. It is how it is for now. We find it fair to offer top level protection for free and more advanced features for a little fee. Thanks for understanding. David*AVG

Does what it says, it's fine. The real issue are the pop ups and ads to 'upgrade'. They will regularly offer something without telling you it requires upgrading until it's spent several minutes (pretending ?) doing what it offered. Effectively, users should assume it will be an anti-virus, and anything else it offers is just bait.

Hi Christian, to sustain the development of our anti-virus, we need to show ads (even these of our product) in the free version, thanks for understanding. However, if you prefer ad-free experience, you can now upgrade to a Pro version. Find out more on the app's home screen. David*AVG

The app works really well protecting your devices. In fact, a little too well! I have to disable the app to access my home wifi, to play podcasts or music, to access some of my apps ... If this app had a "trusted application" section that allows certain apps and function to operate, that would be handy. Tempted to delete the app and cancel my subscription.

Hey Joseph, this sounds very unusual to me. Our app normally does not have any negative impact on the performance of your device - nor other apps. Could you please reach out at mobile-support@avg.com? We would really like to have a look. David*AVG
