### 3/5 — Mostly great, but …

*2026-08-24, version 6.28.1*

F-Secure alerts me when it finds a website attempting to phish. That is great. But it would be even greater if it would show what the website was, so I would know to stay away from it. F-Secure knows  what it was. Why can’t it tell me? Or at least tell me the time it detected it?

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-06-27, version 6.28.1*

Good app but could be better.
Works like it kind of should but price went up 10$ for one year!!??
No direct support, Kinda sucks:
Also complained that the VPN is off but quickly turns on when you go into settings.
Is there something out there that really works for the money we spend??!!
Let me know!

### 4/5 — Why

*2026-05-26, version 6.28.1*

The app should be allowed to run in the background even if the app is closed. It make no sense to leave the app open all the time

### 5/5 — Mobile security

*2026-05-22, version 6.28.1*

This is best app for my mobile security even if you’re not using the phone , it’s work perfectly.

### 2/5 — Lookout Life is not as good as the previous version.

*2026-05-21, version 6.28.1*

It takes longer to get connections notifications .

### 3/5 — Account issues

*2026-05-18, version 6.28.1*

I just got a new iPhone. I purchased a premium service in February of this year. $99.99 plus tax. When I open the Mobile Security app (with a shield icon), it shows my account as a basic account. I’ve called your customer service number and was put on hold for 30 minutes. I tried chatting with no answer. The chatting agent suggested I go to another place for help but the link he provided is not a secure website so my browser wouldn’t open the page. There’s got to be a better way to resolve my issue.

### 5/5 — It’s Been Years & It’s Still The Best!

*2026-05-14, version 6.28.1*

“I’ve used Lookout since 2013 and now it’s 2026 and if that ain’t a testament to its ability to do the job, I don’t know what is!  And during this period of time, its protection has consistently increased its bells and whistles and in my humble opinion, it’s the best security app on the market today and it’s reasonably priced too (even for its premium protection!). Lookout has exactly what you need for every level of security you’ll ever encounter and it’s format is simple and straightforward. So, have a little blind faith in my review and give it a shot - you’ll be happy you did!”

### 5/5 — URL’s caught

*2026-04-07, version 6.28.0*

Thank you for catching phishing on my tablet.  So appreciated.

### 2/5 — No details about alerts

*2026-03-31, version 6.27.0*

### 5/5 — Appreciate

*2026-03-30, version 6.27.0*

Thank you 🪴

### 4/5 — So Far So Good...

*2026-03-28, version 6.27.0*

It looks to be doing a lot.... I am still questioning two giants in the industry who could be in disguise... paranoid, sounds like it, but c'est la vie!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2026-03-28, version 6.27.0*

I have used this app since it was called Lookout, Then it was purchased and renamed. The functionality has remained the same. The only thing that I’m uncomfortable with is signing in this app there is no two-step authentication.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-26, version 6.27.0*

Great free app!

### 5/5 — Spyware detection

*2026-03-16, version 6.27.0*

So far maybe

### 1/5 — Not Pleased

*2026-08-06, version 6.28.1*

Not Impressed At All. I feel as though my heart no had been scanned and monitored for NOTHING. I only gave a star cuz I was forced to.

### 1/5 — SCAM!!!

*2026-06-14, version 6.28.1*

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

### 1/5 — stg this is a scam

*2026-05-20, version 6.28.1*

this used to be a good security app but it is just awful. ive been trying to figure out how to get in contact with customer service but it always brings me to their preloaded questions. im leaving my issue here bc at one point i thought i finally found a way to contact them bc it brought me to send an emIl but didnt have an address to send it to.
so here is my issue:
i have paid for premium the last two years yet on this app it is saying i do not have premium and in the web browser it is saying i havent paid since 2024. im frustrated and want a full refund for 2025, and for 2026 i just want premium to be fixed on my account or a full refund. in the past i felt secure know this app was in the background protecting, but come to find out it isnt?!

### 1/5 — Taking funds when I didn’t ok them

*2026-05-03, version 6.28.1*

They took a yrs fee and I never ok them to do so their service are junk and they can keep them

### 1/5 — This isn’t an anti virus

*2026-04-21, version 6.28.1*

What am I paying you 10 dollars a month for

### 1/5 — Curious

*2026-03-20, version 6.27.0*

Every time I I’d scan the same Neiman Marcus email data issue comes up. It’s been years since that was discovered and I have since deleted NM. Do you clean up your data? How do I get the NM off the I’d scan?

### 1/5 — Something rotten in Denmark…

*2026-02-22, version 6.27.0*

I’ve had the app on my phone for years and opened it today after much time. I see a four month free promotion for their “total plan” and sign up for it through my account link. I provide my info and it asks me to create an account. I click on “login” and suddenly, my phone no longer remembers the password. I close and reopen the app and I’m still logged in on the app but to the basic plan and doesn’t upgrade. I go back to the website, click on “forgot my password”and I’m still waiting after my third attempt. They have my credit card number so I decide I’m going to cancel. Guess what…yeah, it’s like that. Now I will likely have to endure, what I’m sure will be a lengthy time consuming process to get rid of this thing and implement safeguards so they don’t charge me. If it sounds too good to be true…better the devil you know, I guess.  
TO THE DEVELOPER; please don’t contact me telling me how sorry you are that I’m having these issues or going through this difficult experience, and to just contact your support team and they’ll be more than happy to guide me through it, because I did, three times, THREE times, and I’m still waiting. These are simple issues that shouldn’t be issues, because it’s a Mobile Security app and you should know better. You should know better!

### 1/5 — F-Secure Mobile Security

*2026-01-16, version 6.27.0*

Rammed down my throat, now it looks like it wants money, screw it

### 1/5 — 通知機能がつかえない

*2025-12-29*

iフォンseですが、通知機能をオンにしようとしても、このアプリについては通知機能の項目が設定にないのですが、どうしたらいいでしょうか。

**Developer response:** こんにちは、

ご連絡ありがとうございます。

iOS では、通知設定はシステムによって制御されています。「設定」>「通知」にアプリが表示されない場合は、通知がサポートされていないか、システムレベルで無効になっていることを意味します。

以下の手順をお試しください。
「設定」>「一般」>「App のバックグラウンド更新」を開き、有効になっていることを確認してください。

iPhone を再起動してください。
F-Secure アプリを一度開き、表示されるプロンプトを許可してください。

それでも通知オプションが表示されない場合は、一部の機能または通信事業者ベースのバージョンが iOS での通知をサポートしていない可能性があることにご注意ください。

よろしくお願いいたします。

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel subscription

*2025-12-23, version 6.27.0*

I want to cancel subscription and it is just circles thru the same response. Ask question, told to cancel on app. Doesn’t cancel on app told to go back to original app. Go to original app, cancel subscription and then back to original app
There isn’t any customer support at all.

### 5/5 — Safe and sound

*2026-08-22, version 6.28.1*

I have tried the trial period and received information that my ssn may be in use by someone that has a similar name. It’s not my last name but very close to my mom’s. I called the number given to talk to an agent. All in all I am getting initiated and the agent informed me about everything going on with my identity and everything important to me. The app is exactly as it ought to be. The protection and abundance  of information you get back is impressive. The turn around to get an answer re: my claim is 24 to 48 hours. Not bad. They take care of everything. And advised me how to report this to the credit bureaus. Overall, this app is easy to navigate and if you’re looking for protection and security for your phone try this one out. ✌🏻
