Great virus scan for free! There's 1 add that runs after you do a full scan! Not bad at all. They promote premium features and I would like to buy it but just don't have the money.But have a great piece of mind knowing that I'm not infected.If you want to scan for viruses look no further and they offer other free things like cache cleaner and others! Worth it in every way!5 Star ⭐ minimum! Thanks to Avast team for helping out the little guy! If I could afford it I would buy all of the premiums!

I have an ASUS Android 10 inch Transformer TF700T Tablet and I normally use it in WIDE-SCREEN MODE for greater Accessibility because it allows me to have text, and graphics to display larger than it would in the PORTRAIT MODE. Your App should be designed to be more user friendly, and be more HANDICAPPED USER ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL USERS. I HAVE TRIED THIS APP ON OTHER ANDROID DEVICES AND IT DOESN'T ORIENT PER MY SCREEN ORIENTATION. PLEASE FIX THESE, AND OTHER IN-PROGRAM ISSUES . THANKS IN ADVANCE.

7-26-24: updating to 5 stars because it does what I need it to do, which is protect my phone. 5-23-23: It's been 3 years since my first review and this app has proven to be an excellent protection for my phone. Would recommend. 7-22-20: In the last month, the app has been skipping the nightly scan most nights and when it does do the scan, it is done 45 minutes late. Can't seem to find the problem.
