### 2/5 — Good Idea

*2025-12-11, version 1.6*

Bad App Doesn’t Even Work

### 2/5 — Gives hacked Alerts ✅  - but an App w/Solution?🤷🏻‍♀️❓

*2024-10-25, version 1.4.0*

I even pay for the insurance in-app but hasn’t responded to my support request

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel subscription

*2024-08-08, version 1.4.0*

I have been trying for two weeks to cancel my subscription and each method, text, email the response is we will get back to you in 2-5 days. But no one has gotten back to me. There is no chat option how do you cancel??

### 1/5 — Appalling!

*2024-07-29*

No response at all! Wasted my money!!

### 1/5 — Scammmmmmm

*2024-07-23*

I want my money back but no one has gotten back to me.

### 1/5 — Money taken from my bank account

*2024-07-23*

I asked for your help but didn’t get it and I dont want you taking £10 for nothing
Please cancel my account

### 1/5 — No answer

*2024-07-22, version 1.3.88*

I have been in contact with this app several times and have not received one answer from them. Don’t waste your money they don’t reply to help your concerns.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-07-22, version 1.4.0*

Don’t waste your time or money. Terrible app. You can find what their “experts” advise you through a simple Google search; the only difference is google doesn’t take 6 days to respond.

### 1/5 — Not worth the time

*2024-07-20, version 1.3.87*

So dissapointed in this app! It started off good with getting a message from one of the specialists, and then after that I couldn't get a response on a time sensitive matter no matter what I did. I could see the person was active and online, but they wouldn't message me back. Feels like they only responded once to get you interested, then their customer service becomes non existent.

### 3/5 — Not suggested if you need a quick response

*2024-07-16*

Overall the advice given was useful but too late. The response time was more than 2 days (multiple times) and then once you did finally get a response, I had to wait another day or two for a response to my reply. I ended up having to seek help elsewhere, because if your account is hacked, you must act quickly. In addition, the away message was not updated when I signed up. I joined on Friday, July 5th at 9am. The tool said response would be within a few hours. However, no one was working that day and I didn’t get a response until late in the day on Monday.

### 1/5 — This app is a scam - they take your money

*2024-07-15*

I downloaded this app in May 2024 I signed up for a free 7 day trial and cancelled the trial within 24 hours of starting it. Within the next few weeks I was charged 9.99 usd twice. I tried emailing them multiple times to ask why I was being charged weeks after I'd cancelled my subscription which I could prove and got no response. I ended up having to dispute the transactions through my bank. Now, in July 2024 I have been charged again. Do not enter any of your personal details in this app and don't subscribe to anything. Sounds dodgy to me.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2024-07-13, version 1.3.87*

They do not have a way to cancel the subscription if you didn’t set it up through the app. If you set it up online, you have to hope to get ahold of someone and for them to actually cancel your subscription otherwise you’re screwed and will get charged regardless.

### 1/5 — Scam!!!

*2024-07-12*

Don’t download this app and make an account!!! They will charge your bankaccount although you already deleted your account 3 days before the 7 days free trial ended. It’s a scam!

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-04-01, version 1.6*

It’s say update and there no update or no notification to lead towards a new app or software

### 1/5 — Paying for another Malware Malwarebytes app. Please read full review here.

*2025-12-03, version 1.6*

That doesn't work, is out of date, is now charging for a different app that does the same exact things under Malwarebytes: Mobile Security, leaked accounts, on another device that has battery damage & doesn't turn on but is linked to my brand new device in the Apple App Store, no Support available or easily accessible, especially for disabled consumers & domestic assault victims who are consumers, plus More + than that, sadly. Malwarebytes please help the people who pay you? Support please help us? TIA

### 1/5 — App is its own security warning to me?????

*2025-08-23*

So I purchased this app because I have had my Facebook accounts hacked consecutively and can't seem to shake that and some other account issues.
I download this app start entering my info and run a security scan and it flags itself as my only security issue because it is outdated. Ok so I go to the App Store to update. Only the App Store says it is up to date. 
I try reaching out via the help options which all lead me to email. I sent email requests and in over a  week have heard nothing back. 
If this is the service that is provided and I can't get a response this remains my review and I'll cancel my subscription. Possibly an issue unrelated to the app itself but I can't find out.

### 1/5 — Ede

*2025-08-02, version 1.6*

SeeS

### 1/5 — SCAM !!!

*2025-07-25, version 1.5.5*

i got this app over a year ago to help retrieve my Instagram account it didn’t help with anything and I never got my account back. since then I’ve been trying to unsubscribe as it says so on my Apple subscriptions yet for over a year I’ve been still getting charged 9.99 from this app, I’ve emailed and tried to contact them multiple times yet no one answers and they’re still taking money out of my account. I am furious and no one is helping on their side don’t sign up don’t add your card they’re just taking money from you.

### 1/5 — Update

*2025-04-13*

Won’t update above ios15 not good enough

### 1/5 — No help at all!!!

*2025-03-13, version 1.4.0*

I could never get anyone to help me or respond to me and then I’ve tried to cancel and it says my subscription is canceled but they still charge me every month.  I don’t know how to get them to stop charging me monthly!
This is a waste of time!!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2024-09-10, version 1.4.0*

I can’t unsubscribe also I am going to give police complaint

### 1/5 — Do not download

*2024-08-25, version 1.4.0*

I cancelled this subscription back in May and just realized they’ve continued to charge my bank account. Reported it to my bank.

### 1/5 — Cyrus mobile app

*2024-08-14, version 1.4.0*

Horrible! Does not work! VPN never stays on! It’s asked me to log in and start over 3 times like I’ve never set it up. I’ve contacted their chat support via message and they are never available like it says they are!

### 5/5 — Do NOT Subscribe!

You sign up for a monthly subscription and it is impossible to cancel since you can’t communicate the a human!

### 5/5 — Facebook

Hopefully stops my facebook from being hacked

### 5/5 — Always be active

*2024-07-29, version 1.4.0*

I appreciate the app, but at the same time I expect the team to always be online, cause everyone can be hacked any time of the day, :/

### 5/5 — Cyrus

*2024-06-30, version 1.3.87*

No problem, I really like malware bytes (Cyrus). I have used malware bytes for many years now and have no problems whatsoever.
This is the best protection you can get for your devices.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-05-30, version 1.3.87*

Excellent software

### 5/5 — Bugs

*2024-05-28, version 1.3.87*

You have a good product and staff are professional. 

However, nobody is around to communicate with on weekends except bots.
I am not very adept at learning the platforms.
For example the platform for managing VPN and ad blocking is excellent except it keeps shutting off.
Also I didn’t know enough to change the flag which has something to do with where a person lives. I pushed the flag and all the flags came up so I pushed my country’s flag and that move seemed to solve the platform for shutting off.
Before I go on the net I make sure I check to see if VPN & Ad Block are operating.
