Not Friendly for streaming APPs or going from cellular data to WIFI

The VPN constantly disconnects while running streaming APPs as well as, entering an area where you will connect to WIFI. If entering a WIFI area, or are running a streaming APP for a while, you have to close everything, turn off wifi reopen the Armor APP wait for it to reconnect and then turn off the VPN and then reconnect to your WIFI everytime to reconnect the VPN. Total pain and waste of time. The app VPN only works consistently if you are actively using the internet browser on your mobile cell phone.

Not working

Does not work on iPhone 17 or iPad

Excellent protection

Love it and peace of mind!

Scam Scanning Not Working !!

Scam section that scans your phone doesn’t work anymore for iPhone 17. Deleted app, re-downloaded and same thing happens. App Needs to be updated !! Seriously guys. If you expect people to spend $100 for this service, make it work properly.

Great solution! (2 minor inconveniences)

This app is truly wonders and does exactly what it promises. I admire the effort put into the features! The first inconvenience isn’t about the features but of the UI; there’s no dark mode :(. I’d love to see an implementation of dark mode some time! The second is that SMS filtering doesn’t seem to pick up the fact that I already selected the app as a filter in settings. It is active, but just doesn’t visually display it. Not a flaw with the features, I emphasize.

First app to add…

NetGear security is a “ must have” to protect you and your hardware.

Stopped working

Up until the last update the app worked fine, now it shows the main NETGEAR armor screen when you first open the app then after a few seconds closes up.. even when I uninstalled and re installed the app same problem.

Money

Best money I ever spent better uploads better downloads no more Xfinity cable modem

Best computer protection

I have used Netgear Armor for years and feel safe from unwanted problems. I highly recommend them.

New security program

As online security issues increase and I felt like my current security program was experiencing some struggles like not maintaining their “white pages” and other members felt similar ways even business owners so I researched Netgear Armor which was a free subscription from a network provider for a year and had a great experience with them now they are my full time security program

This is awesome

It actually works and when you go on a bad site it actually blocks it for you five stars definitely !

The Best security

This thing is awesome. Catches everything. Also lets me know what it's blocking and in what device.

Easy

Simple step by step guides to set up and check for vulnerabilities.

Good but won't work will CarPlay

This app with the web protection (NOT VPN), seems to block or not allow a connection to CarPlay in my car, as soon as I use a different VPN for web protection in the VPN settings of the device, from a different provider or turn it off CarPlay works just find, unless theirs something I need to change in the armor app...

So, this needs to be fixed like yesterday, this is very bad...

Protected me from getting scammed and let me scan my phone to check if there any viruses

Crashes

App keeps crashing this doesn’t happen on my android phone

Apple TV VPN

Hi netgear, I really enjoy the VPN so far. I think it would be awesome if you added support for the Apple TV to use the vpn on. Perhaps to help with some sports viewing or whatever is possible. Thank you very much!

Great service

With their defender program they are always watching our accounts.
