Ratings and reviews

Quick/EASY PEACE OF MIND If you're looking for something quick and easy to navigate then tap install. It directs you through the entire set-up and explains everything (for us non tech people 😉). Now I can be at peace knowing my info is protected. Granted NOTHING is 100% ,but when you have protection it makes it more difficult for those "bad people and apps". This tends to cause them to move on to an easier target. Good luck and stay safe. Mostly, use your common sense. 😀😉😉

It works great for protection, but my only nitpick is the removal of the toolbar-style permanent notification in the latest update. It was a neat feature that allowed quick access to each operation of the app, but now you have to tap the notification and scroll through the menu to find what you're looking for. Other than that, it has done as good as ever for device security, and I intend to keep using it.

Very easy to use and its constantly protecting me and warning me if there is an issue. I have not had any issues. The locking sensitive apps allow just another layer of protection. When I first downloaded the app, I loved the features and security now coming up on my third year of having the software I highly recommend it. Working in the financial world, clients who always have problems on their phone all have one thing in common. No security software. I always recommend Avast.
