### 2/5 — C-

*2026-06-30, version 8.3.1*

Webroot used to be A++. I don’t know what happened over the last decade. Anyways. This app is useless. The free “trial” will just waste an hour of your time and not even provide a single example. It’s also way overpriced, whereas Webroot used to be affordable. I will be canceling and deleting this app. The free trial does nothing to indicate it’s worth the money. If anything, the price seems to have gone up while the security and quality has gone down.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-03-04, version 8.2*

Impossible to activate account & auto renewal still happens! Not worth the aggravation!

### 4/5 — Apple issues perhaps

*2026-02-18, version 8.2*

Tim Cook sold schematics in past to FBI. Nowadays all are codes converted to public then several corrupted files and codes started to pour into. None of any anti virus or mobile security will remove anything from Apple due to apple's policy from Steve Jobs era which is not applicable to today's Apple devices but again Tim Cook is most idiot leader at this company but thanks for his investment is all why.

### 5/5 — What happened?

*2026-01-20, version 8.2*

This app use to work fine now it’s not.

### 3/5 — Not sure yet

*2025-11-24, version 8.2*

I downloaded Webroot on my phone from the App Store, but I cannot locate the product key code Required to create a new account. Not helpful. Chat sent me to Geek, but I didn't buy this from Best Buy. Not helpful at all.

### 1/5 — Flag itself website

*2025-10-28, version 8.1*

It kept flagging it’s own website and best buy website as unsecured connection. 🙈

### 1/5 — Locked up

*2025-08-30, version 8.1*

When attempting to open the app it pops up about cookie preferences, but the text box cuts off the hyperlink to set cookie settings.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-04-18, version 8.0*

PC3746

### 1/5 — Did nothing

*2025-04-10, version 8.0*

Webroot was supposed to protect phone and computer and it performed scans always showing safe while all these viruses were eating up my computer and phone

### 1/5 — What’s the point of this app

*2025-03-06, version 8.0*

What’s the point of this app.
