Probably won’t renew my subscription this year. ### 3/5 — Avoid this *2026-06-02, version 3.0.1* Doesn’t play well with starlink, stops Amazon Music, stops YouTube, but only after an hour or so. Asked customer service about it, and got no results. Looking for alternatives. ### 2/5 — Probleme bei abruf von emails *2026-05-31* Der VPN macht was er soll aber ich habe das gefühl das es nach jedem update schlechter wird, den AVG nutze ich jetzt rund 4 Jahre, Anfangs gab es keinerlei Probleme beim Abrufen meiner emails, im letzten halben bis 1 Jahr gibt es vermehrt Probleme und immer mit dem Hinweis Account Fehler. **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wenn der E-Mail-Abruf mit aktivem VPN Probleme macht, prüfen Sie bitte zuerst die Internetverbindung ohne VPN und testen Sie einen anderen Serverstandort sowie einen Neustart des Geräts. Wenn die Meldung „Account Fehler“ weiterhin erscheint oder aus Ihrer E-Mail-App kommt, senden Sie uns bitte die genauen Details über support.avg.com, damit wir das näher prüfen können. AVG ### 4/5 — Accessing websites *2026-05-26, version 3.0.1* I travel overseas a lot and that’s why I need a VPN. I often have difficulty accessing my bank’s website and other websites while my VPN is on. ### 2/5 — Eh *2026-05-19, version 3.0.1* The vpn is great, when it works. It’s super buggy, takes forever to load, and a lot of the time it will never connect and I have to reconnect multiple times ### 3/5 — Blocks major sites such as CNN, Fox News, cargurus via google etc. *2026-04-29, version 3.0.1* Blocks major sites such as CNN, Fox News, etc ### 3/5 — Beamer Horizon/Mibox s *2026-04-03* Es ist für die Geräte leider nicht möglich zu installieren oder aktivieren ### 4/5 — Mostly great VPN *2026-03-26, version 3.0.1* This VPN is mostly reliable and pretty great. However, we are occasionally unable to get a connection. When this happens, the program is unresponsive. It gives no feedback and will not shut down, at least for awhile. It does not show which vpn server is being used, which it should. Occasionally seems to have trouble with YouTube videos. ### 4/5 — Need WiFi speed test iOS *2026-03-19, version 3.0.1* Need android features ### 2/5 — Trava muitos aplicativos *2026-03-19* Muitas vezes tenho que desligar o VPN porque não consigo abrir muitos aplicativos. ### 2/5 — Terns&conditions *2026-03-15, version 3.0.1* Don’t like the recent have to accept/ agree to new policy to use a paid service I’m using… and was unable to bypass unless I accept(not happy). They just did the same again… stopped working, then had to re-open to accept a new policy again. Not happy! ### 3/5 — Off and on *2026-03-12, version 3.0.1* Sometimes works fine often won’t let me browse at all. Frustrating ### 2/5 — Terns&conditions *2026-02-20, version 3.0.1* Don’t like the recent have to accept/ agree to new policy to use a paid service I’m using… and was unable to bypass unless I accept(not happy) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tampa USA not working on all devices *2026-08-01, version 3.0.1* Every other location works, Tampa won’t connect on all devices for the past few days. Hopefully this gets AVGs attention, fixed and I can delete this review ### 1/5 — Slow VPN *2026-06-23, version 3.0.1* VPN is painfully slow ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-12, version 3.0.1* I have paid for a subscription but still can’t access the websites I need. ### 1/5 — 1star *2026-05-16, version 3.0.1* You always have to do the subscription to use it that’s not fair ### 1/5 — Had it for years *2026-04-06, version 3.0.1* Deleting it. Download another service, there are plenty out there. It disconnects randomly, drains your battery, and when it is connected it doesn’t things are slower. The quality has dropped and support is pretty nonexistent, mostly because they don’t take care of their website, which is ironic. Don’t recommend ### 1/5 — READ *2026-04-04, version 3.0.1* I have no internet ever since I downloaded this app!! ### 1/5 — Keeps turning off on its own *2026-02-17, version 3.0.1* I have auto connect on and I’ll open the app and it’s randomly not connected with no notification. So frustrating, I’m swapping to a different company when my subscription is up if this keeps happening. ### 1/5 — Not very good *2026-02-06, version 3.0.0* Every time I want to access on another device I have to remember the password. And you don’t provide anything such as another level of authentication to do that. I have to go through this nause every time. ### 1/5 — Problème de connexion *2026-01-25* Au bout de 6 mois d utilisation il ne se connecte pas bien en 4G **Developer response:** Bonjour, dans ce cas, veuillez contacter mes collègues sur https://support.avg.com.
