Ratings and reviews

Everytime there is an update, the app wipes out all of the login account data (why?!). It's only on "Android". To make matters worse it has a hard time opening up to the login page and then claims the information is incorrect. Again "WHY?!", and everytime! I've written about this before and yet it keeps happening. I have to constantly check to see if the app is running, because an update clears the account info and the app is doing absolutely nothing but taking up space. This one of many issues.

I have had more problems with this app as it continues to add these new features or upgrades. One whole year of a subscription left me with month to month worry of wondering if this app is actually working. I tried the OTP that it keeps sending out that do not work for several different applications, I just gave up trying. I am very disappointed.

I have to turn off McAfee to be able to connect my phone to my car Bluetooth because VPN doesn't allow pairing the device, so I can't use my car screen for GPS. I have to turn off McAfee, then turn it back on after driving each time. Very annoying. Also, it frequently turns off the protection automatically, so I have to log in and turn it on manually.
