Renew

Will not accept my information to renew my subscription

McAfee security

Love the protection to get scammers away!

Looking at the App for help & recognition

It’s not good -
It doesn’t address me as a customer.
I cant find the details of my subscription or when it expires , or how to stop auto- renewal
I don’t know how to include the two other computers I am allowed to cover
The app is is muddled and ‘fluffy’ designed only to advertise
The reference number is ridiculously long - is it designed to put people off from contacting you?
You were such a considerate company but now you’ve lost your way
I’m not renewing next year

Breaches

McAfee helped me clear up and stop my email from being used elsewhere. Always remember to change your passwords. It was a reminder I needed and they scanned my phone and reminded me to change my passwords. I had 3 new breaches.

I’m 64 and remember using McAfee back when dial up was the only option anyone had, I had my phone in a black carry case that you opened up like a photographers bag using to change his lens and working for a corporate company Hardee’s Food Systems when it was Canadian owned conglomerate.

Great Protection.

I have used McAfee for both my IPhone & Home P.C for a good few years now and I have never had any issues whatsoever with the product or service provided.
The v.p.n works well as does all the other systems.
McAfee also provides a great support service, help ,and advice for anyone who needs assistance.
It gives you reassurance you are protected.

Peace of mind

Thank you for giving me peace of mind and help against scams.

Email protection

Why does McAfee only protect the Yahoo, Gmail type email addresses? I would like my emails protected but McAfee will not accept my email addresses!

サポートが酷い!

ユーザ登録をしてログインしないとアプリは使えません。しかもその登録には、AppleもしくはGoogle のIDパスワードでないとダメだと言われました。個人情報の漏洩が社会問題になっている時に、私はApple やGoogle のIDパスワードをアプリに使いまわす主義ではないので、ユーザ登録ができないがために使えるようになるまで4時間かかりました。返金してもらうにも、決済処理中でAppleが取り合ってくれないし、マカフィーもだんだん口調の強い人が出てきて、
「今キャンペーンで85%も割引いてやっているのに、あなたはそれでも返金を求めるのか?よく考えたほうがいい!」まるで馬鹿じゃないの?とでも言いだけで、ものすごく感じが悪かったです。ちなみに外国人のチャットサポートでした。本当に良いものは、Apple製品のよに割引かなくたって、飛ぶように売れるから85%も割引かなくたっていいんじゃないですかね?ドヤ的な物言いが、本当に気分を害しました。返金されず、何とか使えるようになったので、しぶしぶ使いますが、もう二度と買いたくありません。トラブル防止のためにも、アプリのトライアル期間を作って欲しいです。

追伸、自分たちにとって、都合の悪いことをばらされ、突かれたものだから、デベロッパの回答もスルーなんですね。ほんとどういう企業かがよくわかりますね。やっぱり返金されなくてもいいから、マカフィーを無駄にしてでも、なんか信用できないので、他社のソフトに乗り換えようと思います。ほんと二度とかかわりたくありません。

VPN issues

Dear developers, the VPN makes my phone super slow on all my apps and it makes it hard to load the McAfee app and it makes me feel that the VPN is doing quite the opposite of protecting and blocking viruses. Please fix this

Home

Mcafee misses one thing in their database services offered.

Apply the same as incogni to do all the leaked and data breach to remove anything unsafe from the individuals paid profiles, McAfee is the best there is. Add the service I mentioned, McAfee is the best.

Subscription Code

Unable to download due to never receiving subscription code. Support was unable to assist.

App won’t come up.

When I go into app it just shows like it’s still trying to install. Tried several times and nothing happens. So canceled.

Notification mayhem

The app shows I have 4 notifications. When I open the app, I’m all clear - no alerts, no messages, nothing. Security is important. False alarms are annoying.

Always has number on app that won’t go away on iPhone 13.

Upgrade version sucks please go back to previous version and layout. Shows # 3 next to app that can’t fix or get rid of

App Issues

Since the app was upgraded. It takes to long to open up. I feel like whenever I open it the app should open right up. But it just stalls.

Cancel ALL subscriptions

Superior Performance

Very easy to use and navigate step by step to create your own safety net !!!

Good, but…

Latest update seems to work OK and is easy to navigate. What is irritating is no way to turn off badge notifications.
