I also had the app on my phone, but never really checked into its features. Recently, I opened it up and it said because of my account on my computer that I was eligible for all of its features on the phone. Great right? Well, now I’m getting messages asking me to upgrade so I can utilize the VPN… Of which I had already activated but now I’m denied ? What’s going on here? Do I have to have a separate subscription for my phone now?Despite being formally “eligible?” It’s literally like they offered a feature and then took it away. I don’t like this. ### 4/5 — Chromecast Pairing Has Been Broken for Over Six Months *2026-10-20, version 26.14.0* EDIT: I apologize for the confusion. I realized that pairing does work, but there are two additional steps required after entering the pairing code to approve and complete the device connection. However, I believe the process should be improved. Once the user enters the pairing code, the app should automatically approve the request and complete the pairing process, rather than requiring two extra steps. Making this process automatic would improve the user experience and make pairing with Google Chromecast much faster, simpler, and more intuitive. The Chromecast pairing feature is extremely frustrating and simply does not work properly on my iPhone. The app instructs me to open the mobile app, go to Tools, select “Pair New Device,” and then enter a pairing code. However, no matter how many times I enter the code, the pairing process fails. I end up stuck in an endless loop, repeating the same steps without ever successfully connecting my device. I have been requesting a fix for this issue for over six months, and it is unacceptable that the problem remains unresolved. Please implement a QR code scanning option. Instead of forcing users to manually enter pairing codes, the app should allow users to scan a QR code displayed on their TV directly with their iPhone’s camera. This would make the pairing process much faster, easier, and more reliable. Please take this issue seriously and fix it as soon as possible. Users should not have to struggle with a basic feature that has been broken for months. ### 2/5 — New version bugs *2026-10-18, version 26.14.0* After updating my app and wanted to sign in again, the activation code button’s nowhere to be found and now I can’t access my vpn ### 3/5 — The new update is not working great *2026-10-16, version 26.14.0* I’ve been avast subscription user for over 6 years, it’s the best reason why they didn’t have my full start is that , the new updated is not perfect every reliable location is worse, non is working anymore, you guys need to update the error that came with the new update.

PC에서 구매한 구독은 App Store 복원이 아니라 구매 시 사용한 이메일로 Avast 계정에 로그인해 활성화해야 합니다. 앱에서 ‘이미 구입하셨나요?’가 반응하지 않으면 설정의 구독 항목에서 다시 시도해 보시고, 계속 진행할 수 없다면 support.avast.com으로 문의해 주세요. *Avast ### 1/5 — VPN IS GARBAGE *2026-10-01, version 26.14.0* Won’t let me connect to the VPN.
