Allow, 2.) Use "free" (as if a "puppy") 3.) Remove within 8 hrs. 4.) Tah-Dah, & Ow La La 🎶 🎼 thx, AVG ### 2/5 — VPN *2026-08-19, version 26.12.0* Like many other reviews my vpn constantly turns its self on and off. Why do you had updates that never solve the problem. It leaves us unprotected. Scam calls still getting through. I have had 3 scam calls in 2 days. Also scam emails. I thought using AVG was supposed to stop scam calls and emails getting through. Sadly it doesn’t. ### 2/5 — VPN *2026-08-11, version 26.12.0* Like many other reviews my vpn constantly turns its self on and off. Why do you had updates that never solve the problem. It leaves us unprotected. ### 2/5 — VPN keeps disconnecting *2026-08-08, version 26.12.0* I’ve had this app for many years now, and I’ve never had a problem with it until this week. It keeps disconnecting and when I go and try to connect it again, it keeps saying connection failed. I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling it to see if that solved the problem and now unfortunately, I can’t access my account. Despite the fact that I’ve had this account for years it keeps telling me no subscription found, even though my subscription is good until February 2027. I have now had to cancel the subscription and have lost out on many months VPN service that I have paid for. I will not be resubscribing and just go and find another more reliable service. ### 4/5 — Lag in performance *2026-08-08, version 26.12.0* I find the app waits a certain amount of time to open, which is a lag in performance… ### 3/5 — Disappointing un-robust/un-reliable software *2026-08-01, version 26.12.0* You can be using the VPN, and then suddenly it will stop/pause and your app has lost internet connectivity - especially annoying when it is a streamed TV programme. It is fixed by selecting a different server (as I’m UK based it is switching between London and Manchester servers). Really frustrating. The AVG help desk does not want to acknowledge that it is unreliable. When it works, it works - you just cannot predict when it will stop. Also impacts AVG on a MacBook, so either a common client software bug across iPad and MacOS or a common server issue. Here’s hoping AVG will read this and investigate the issue to deliver a more stable product. ### 4/5 — LeBron *2026-07-27, version 26.12.0* LeBron is just the goat ### 3/5 — Zero Stars Scam *2026-07-17, version 26.11.1* I already pay all to 2028 now AVG wants more money they won’t even link your account to their servers bad bad bad don’t fail for or tbw lots of free software do the same I won’t give AVG any more money ### 5/5 — AVG Mobile Security *2026-07-14, version 26.11.1* An excellent service provided by this Platform I would highly recommend to anyone interested in the security AVG have in place ### 5/5 — Good and easy to use *2026-07-14, version 26.11.1* Brilliant ### 5/5 — Good company *2026-07-11, version 26.11.1* I’ve had them before and I loved them and I’m so happy they’re back. Didn’t know where they went to. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Web shield blocks all internet *2026-08-22, version 26.12.0* Avg used to great now it blocks any internet connectivity at all if you activate web shield. This is silly. After years being a loyal customer I’m done fiddling with settings that prevent using your computer. Avg fix your issues this started happening months ago. And continues to get worse with each update. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-08-10, version 26.12.0* The $19.99 yearly subscription is worthless. You scan for viruses only for the app to do nothing and instead try and sell you “upgraded” features. It won’t see if you have malware or viruses. If u plan to upgrade for the vpn feature, there are better apps with much better and advance features and for much less ### 1/5 — Slow *2026-08-07, version 26.12.0* It slowed everything down and gave erroneous errors such as no internet available blocked email and internet traffic ### 1/5 — Please fix *2026-07-28, version 26.12.0* Can’t open to run virus clean up ### 1/5 — Not free as top review states. *2026-07-23, version 26.12.0* First off, it isn't free. When I attempted to start a free trial it just freezes. Garbage. ### 1/5 — Mr Wayne *2026-07-23, version 26.12.0* I keep getting perhaps 10 times a day saying I need to connect to my internet, I can’t get in touch with anyone about this , it’s so annoying as my connection is always on It makes me think someone is trying to get into my phone or account ### 1/5 — Sneaky and Dishonest *2026-07-17, version 26.11.1* Signed up for a free trial and not only did they push super aggressively to sell you multiple products constantly, they also still charge you even if you cancel before the trial ends. The aggressive selling is the worst I have ever seen. I had it installed on my PC and couldn’t even get through five minutes without something popping up, trying to sell me another product. ### 1/5 — Ron *2026-07-17, version 25.17.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Look elsewhere *2026-07-07, version 26.11.1* The app keeps crashing. Very annoying ### 1/5 — What is it with secure photos *2026-07-04, version 26.11.1* You let me put my photos into secure photos , But then you kidnapped them and won’t let me get them back , only delete, how is that keeping my photos secure , waste of time .?. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AVG is better than McAfee VPN *2026-08-23, version 26.12.0* I was using McAfee VPN but the app continues to drop the VPN connection at the worst times when I open other apps like my banking website, other apps. When that happens the apps will not load or reload because McAfee is not stable VPN! So, I came back to the avg which is a stable app ### 5/5 — Ben *2026-08-19, version 26.12.0* Been using AVG since the early 90s, it’s never let me down. ### 5/5 — Great protection *2026-08-18, version 26.12.0* Does what the job as promised. ### 5/5 — I’d be lost w/out AVG *2026-08-11, version 26.12.0* I’m a user, not a techie. I had some issues in the past, then I found AVG. I now depend on AVG to protect me in all of my online activities! Love it! Thanks! ### 5/5 — I think you just found a malicious website on my iPad. *2026-08-05, version 26.12.0* I I ### 5/5 — AVG *2026-08-03* Ótimo app. uso a mais de 25 anos. **Developer response:** Olá! É muito bom saber que utiliza a AVG há mais de 25 anos e está satisfeito com o app. Agradecemos a sua confiança e avaliação! *AVG ### 5/5 — Been with AVG for years! *2026-08-01, version 26.12.0* Recommended by my son who is more tech savvy than I! He also still uses it! ### 5/5 — Avg *2026-07-31, version 26.12.0* Good service ### 5/5 — Definitiv zu empfehlen *2026-07-28* Ich habe mittlerweile schon sehr viele Antiviren&VPN-Apps ausprobiert. Manche waren Müll, andere waren gut, aber kein Antivirus&VPN-App ist so gut wie AVG Mobile Security. Außerdem ist 29€ pro Jahr so gut wie nichts für einen so tollen Antivirus wie AVG Mobile Security. Definitiv weiterzuempfehlen😁 **Developer response:** Guten Tag, vielen Dank für Ihre ausführliche Empfehlung und Ihr Vertrauen in AVG Mobile Security. Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie mit dem Schutz und dem Gesamtpaket so zufrieden sind. *AVG ### 5/5 — Easy to use for piece of mind *2026-07-25, version 26.12.0* I downloaded this app to keep my phone safe very easy to use for the extra safety on your device A+++ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
