Worked great, until recent.

I’ve been a paid user of AVG for a couple years now, and I’ve had no problems. It used to work. The newest update however has caused me problems to where I’m considering canceling my subscription and seeking out a competitor.

The VPN no longer works, it can’t connect to any one server. I get error pop ups saying “VPN Connection Error”. I changed nothing in my settings, nor is the internet down on my end, so this must be an issue with AVG itself.

I attempted customer support but that’s been replaced with AI assistant, so that’s useless. Without any apparent solution, unless there’s a fix I’m unaware of, I’ll have to cancel.

Like the app but hack alerts keep disappearing. . .

10/27/26 Hack alerts were back for a few days, now they’re gone again. When will this be fixed?????

10/22/26 Update: just got off a chat with Himanshu, gave me a confirmation #, but couldn’t find my account using emails and phone number. Nor could he tell me when the problem would be resolved. So I cancelled my recurring subscription. Why is it so hard to get information?
I have turned my phone off and on, uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Hack alerts work for a couple of days then disappear. And I can’t get help!


I really do like this app, but this is the 2nd time my hack alerts have disappeared. Last time I had to delete the app and then reinstall, plus take the time to redo everything else! What is going on?

Best protection

I have always depended on AVG and they never let me down.

Photo Vault

I am trying to export photos from photo vault to the original location. It crashes back to my Home Screen even if I just try to move one.

Annoying Hounding to Upgrade on Free Mobile App

AVG is a good product except that it keeps hounding me to upgrade to get features that I already have on my iPhone. There doesn’t appear to be a way to stop this from happening. It’s really quire annoying.

Constantly verifying email

I have to constantly verify my email every time I do a scan .
Why is this happening.
Update i have been sent alerts to say I have to set up email guard so far today I’ve verified it 6 times,
So frustrating please solve this problem.

NO VPN

For some reason my VPN will not connect ??

VPN stopped working on all my devices

No VPN so cannot use my banking app as it won’t be safe to use.
It’s at your end not mine.
Please sort this issue out.

Not Compatible w Starlink

Starlink states not to use VPN which I found out after purchasing a year of this app $40. I tried turning off VPN and it turns on by itself. I tried getting help from their site and they talk about is android, apple not included. I have to delete the app, suck up the $40 since there were no disclosures, and this clearly designed for android and apple doesn’t care since they allowed this app on apple. Typical American corporations steal all the money you want because no one protects the little people.

Awesome

I would give this 10 stars if I could

OK so I would love this app because it keeps protecting me even when I am having more viruses and 😇

5/5 stars

Great product rubbish communications

The product is great. I have a subscription on annual renew, and have done for several years. This year, however, I am cancelling my subscription due to the absolutely rubbish communications about the cost of renewal.

I have had multiple emails about renewal, looked at all the areas of the website I can find, but I cannot find the code if my renewal anywhere. As a result I will NOT renew my payment details for something that I do not know how much it will cost.

I can’t believe that a company like this believes it is acceptable to not include the price of the renewal, or make it easy to find. I might even check this is legal with the CMA.

Finally bought the app and I regret it. I don’t trust it anymore because every time I use it they are very sneakily trying to sell me something else. I expected more.
