VPN in particular is a performance killer and I’ve not been able to use 5G when enabling lookout. I’m done with it. ### 1/5 — False Vulnerability Detections *2026-01-04, version 9.9.1* Claims issue with particular version of WhatsApp. Confirmed using latest version and that version number is not the same as the one flagged by app. Uninstalled and deleted app completely from phone, yet app still flagging WhatsApp as an issue. Useless. Edit: Two months after having removed WhatsApp in its entirety and still being flagged by app for same issue. ### 1/5 — Too much delay *2025-12-22, version 9.9.1* Bad ### 1/5 — False Vulnerability Detections *2025-11-18, version 9.8.0* Claims issue with particular version of WhatsApp. Confirmed using latest version and that version number is not the same as the one flagged by app. Uninstalled and deleted app completely from phone, yet app still flagging WhatsApp as an issue. Useless. ### 1/5 — Fails to return to protected app *2025-11-07, version 9.8.0* Lookout does a nice scan and seems solid. But, once completed doesnt return to work app… terrible protection model. ### 4/5 — Bird app *2025-11-03, version 9.8.0* Plus ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-10-07, version 9.7.0* This app won’t let me log into my work email even though it says my device has no issues ### 1/5 — This is the worst app I have ever experienced *2025-10-07, version 9.7.0* This is the worst app… doesn’t recognize that changes have been made for 24 hours.. this should happen instantly ### 1/5 — Αίσχος *2025-09-30, version 9.6.0* Για τα σκουπίδια ### 1/5 — Memory *2025-08-25, version 9.5.0* This app occupies huge memory for its documents data ### 1/5 — Takes hours to acknowledge apps have been removed. *2025-07-25, version 9.5.0* As a test, I was asked to install an app known to be non-compliant with my company’s policy. After testing that our Lookout policies picked up the app and put my device in non-compliance, I removed it from the device. That was at 9:30 this morning. It is now 3 pm and the Lookout app on my phone is still indicating non-compliance. I have removed/re-pushed the Lookout app to my phone 3 times, as well as shut down the phone for 30 minutes. It still says it sees the offending app. Note: Lookout is very quick on reporting back to the management tools otherwise, it is just really, REALLY slow when it’s out of compliance. ### 1/5 — Stupid stupid *2025-07-01, version 9.4.0* When it works it works when it doesn’t you want to throw your phone. Find it over. Pour diesel over it. Set it alight. Pee in it. Take a picture. Email it to the developers ### 1/5 — Really wish this app didn't help people commit fraud *2025-06-16, version 9.3.1* The title says it all. This app is fraudulent. If they have any sort of partnership with wireless carriers the carriers are being scammed. ### 1/5 — I don’t have Spotify! *2025-02-12, version 9.1.0* App thinks I have Spotify ### 1/5 — Program does not respond well *2025-01-31, version 9.1.0* If it has a problem you are just out of luck ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Found apps not on the phone *2026-08-25, version 9.16.1* Junk ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-17, version 9.16.0* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Lookout *2026-08-10, version 9.15.0* I cannot get emails or connect to my company because Workout says I am out of compliance and iOS needs updated. My phone setting say I am up to date!!! ### 1/5 — Unnecessary and broken *2026-06-26, version 9.14.0* The app constantly ignores or forgets settings, and prevents me from doing my job. ### 1/5 — No notification *2026-06-23, version 9.14.0* Changes made but NOT notified ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-06-19, version 9.14.0* Keeps making my phone non compliant but there’s no provlems ### 1/5 — QR code access *2026-06-03, version 9.14.0* Will not allow me to scan QR codes This results in not being able to provide needed feedback. The app continues to try block every thing that I try to open even company websites. ### 1/5 — Wrong MS Authenticator version detected *2026-06-01, version 9.13.0* My MS Authenticator is already updated to 6.8.47 but Lookout keeps to warn me the detected version is .43 ### 1/5 — Scam of a service *2026-05-06, version 9.12.0* These people are crooks and won’t do anything for you. Take your money elsewhere before it’s too late ### 1/5 — Ugh *2026-02-25, version 9.10.0* This app sucks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — RZ CORPORATION LLC *2026-08-11, version 9.16.0* Excellent ### 5/5 — Great Protection! *2026-05-07, version 9.13.0* Keep yourself and your company safe from bad actors! Works great, and keeps mobile users secure. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-04-06, version 9.11.0* Thankyou ### 5/5 — Great flexibility *2025-07-09, version 9.4.0* Not just an admin tool but flexible enough for everyone who needs to be protected. ### 5/5 — Real Mobile Solution *2025-05-07, version 9.2.0* Finally…something that provides enterprise grade level protection for the mobile device! ### 5/5 — Fishing sites *2024-08-28, version 8.8.0* It blocked some fishing software sites that probably tried to get my information. It called about six of them. This is the best. ### 5/5 — Awesome protection *2024-07-19, version 8.8.0* Never have to worry about my devices being unprotected, lookout work is a quality top notch VPN service provider. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-02-24, version 8.5.0* Always keeping my devices safe ### 5/5 — Actually works *2024-02-10, version 8.5.0* I have my business information compromised several times. And never once has any other VPN stopped someone. At least twice Look out has notified me in time to stop a compromise. None if the other 6 i paid for seem to do much. A ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-12-12, version 8.3.1* Amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
