New update is garbage. Same reasons that everyone else is describing, plus my phone has a constant notification at the top stating that McAfee is running in the background. Can’t get rid of it. The widget was the best part of the app to begin with. I’ve used this for years. I’ll uninstall the app […]

Resource usage could be improved, as it IS a bit on the heavy side. According to Android, this app can use a max of over 600mb of RAM, and right now it’s using about 150mb in the background. That being said, I’ve seen plenty worse out of other mobile security suites. For the most part, […]
App was very good while I had it. After canceling, however, I have had some serious problems. Could be coincidence or could be app/company issue. Immediately after canceling most apps would crash upon opening. I had to spend 2 full days trying to fix this. Also, I immediately started getting an excessive amount of telemarketer […]
It worked, until a recent update. I subscribe thru an internet provider (and pay for it, which is BS). Anyway, now it opens to a dumb intro and asks me to create an account. I’ve already been using it! No instructions, no ‘log in’ option, no forgot password, just one useless page I can’t get […]
The only problem that I’ve ever had with this app is the fact, that this app won’t tell how much an app is being used, cause of its own memory manager every other 4 to 6 hours a day, so it can pick up the right amount of time we’ve been in our apps, by […]
Edit* If you buy a keycard you have to check your email after awhile. I had to wait to get an email and then I could install the app. You can also click on “subscriptions” and from there you can enter your “25 digit code.” Otherwise if you click “upgrade” it expects a different code. […]
Just downloaded the new version of this app and nothing seems to work correctly, about 75% of the functions are gone or do not work, very disappointed. The ease of use the older version had is gone, the memory booster is gone all the stuff you need on a mobile device is gone. Absolutely horrible, […]
Why? The home page widget icon is gone. It was useful to clear memory and check storage. Don’t like the new interface – go to the status page, not the “learn more” page. Leaves an icon in the status bar that is at the top of the pull down when checking notifications – not necessary […]
Tired of the useless and unwanted notifications. I’ve gotten the same one, talking about giving my memory (or whatever) a boost, for the last 3 or 4 days straight. Not really user friendly from what little I was able to figure out. Uninstalled. Also not sure what happened to my original review of this. Got […]
Battery drain at times and never caught a virus in over two years of use. I have this product on my Android and PC for many years and have been skeptical of whether it does it’s job effectively. Maybe I am just lucky and do not get malware for my type of online usage. Putting […]
Constantly wakes me up in the middle of the night to tell me that apps I have had installed for years are still virus free, setting off my notifications one after the other over a dozen times, sometimes on more than one occasion in a single night. There is no option to customize or deactivate […]
Great security at reasonable prices. Plus it has a neat little widget to keep all those necessary tools to keep you safe and informed close at hand! I’ve heard that it causes a lot of phones to run hot, or use a lot of memory.. I’ve not had that problem personally. However I’ve got a […]
The latest update has completely ruined this app. They used to have the vpn as a separate app you could add or not add as you chose. I worked with them for a long time trying to get the vpn to work, but they could never fix it. They knew it was a problem, where […]
It’s obvious majority of customers want ability to clear cache, manually scan, etc., not have education constantly forced on you even though you went through it all when setting up the app. Since renewing to this latest version, I can’t access one of my banking apps. Extremely annoyed, and not happy about price going up. […]
Well my subscription will be canceled next September. Removed the widget (used that 99% of the time for a shortcut), can’t even look at my actual account details in the app, and it’s basically a downgrade of an app once you get down to it. Wish I would have saved my money and bought a […]
Have used McAfee for years and have yet to be disappointed. Used to have my own business; selling, building, and repairing computers, I have used McAfee since the mid 80’s and always recommended it to my customers, but I was never disappointed except how expensive the price has gotten. May be confusing at times but […]
The current update RUINED A ONCE GOOD APP! I logged out and now I can’t log back in! It shows “Start my FREE 30-day trial”, and underneath that it shows “Got an activation code?”, even though I’m already subscribed, and have already paid for your service via automatic renewal! What the heck is going on?! […]
Since the last update, I am not able to sign in. It is in a continuous loop, keeps asking for password; then, it sends a code, again, it does not work. I have to go on a PC to look at my account. Thus, what’s the point of this useless app. Perhaps it’s time to […]
I have been a Mcafee user for years. It works great on my laptop. However, it just stopped work on my mobile device for android users. After the troubleshooting of reinstalling over and over as suggested, I was asked too many questions instead of actually getting to the root of the issue, and it was […]
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 […]
