Pretty nice integration

Took a while to understand how they integrate everything but turns out it’s pretty smooth

C-

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.

Scam

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

Apple issues perhaps

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.

What happened?

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

Not sure yet

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.

Flag itself website

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

Locked up

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

Horrible

Did nothing

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

How

Log in solution

Some reviews were complaining about having issues with logging into Webroot. I figured it out when I asked Webroot for help. The way Webroot accounts work is actually a bit unusual. Webroot actually has separate mobile and desktop accounts that are linked to a single email. All you really have to do to get the mobile app running is to change your mobile account password. You can only do this directly through the mobile app. The desktop website won’t fix the problem. Once I did that, the iOS/iPadOS Webroot app worked. Even after you change the mobile password, the desktop password is still the same since it’s a separate account.

App Will Not Open

I can download the app, but it will not open on my iPhone.

Won’t open

Have downloaded latest version. Click open. Sort of pretends like it’s starting, then back to the icon. Nothing.

Shame bc their pc version is great.

Finally learned what the problem is

The last review I made about the Webroot app was about how it’s scan misreads iOS/iPadOS versions when it has three numbers. It seemed that way while I was using iOS/iPadOS version 18.1.1, but now I know I was wrong. I installed iOS/iPadOS 18.2 today and it still told me to update to iOS/iPadOS version 8.1. The current version of Webroot can’t see any iOS/iPadOS versions released after 18.1 as newer systems and it always gives a notice saying you still need to update it to 18.1 even though it’s outdated software.
