Ratings and Reviews
Wow i love this as it helps me and my family to keep on protection
Wow my family well my brother tony he loves it as his gaming laptop and mine gaming laptop and iPhone keeps on protecting at all time and if there is a problem I can report it and wow I wish everyone had it
Its OK!
Its good across multiple devices, good for defence...... But really slows down you Internet, Im meant to get a blazzing fast 1Gbps but with this Im only getting a mere 15Mbps, also some streaming apps wont like it either as they will say you are not in country that supports that app. Battery drain is also a problem, had my phone charged to 99% put down while I slept, drained down to 66% in only a few hours. To turn off the VPN from settings doesnt work as it witches straight back on, not sure if a IOS problem or app problem. Apart from thats it okay
Ineffective, needs work.
I thought I’d test this out before putting it on my family’s phones and iPads. Whilst testing I received 2 scam messages and the app did nothing while following their links. The app also fails to report the correct status most of the time so when you view security status on another device it’s reported as “unknown”. This happened for both my iPad and iPhone. I tried reinstalling and this fixed it for a few hours but the same happened again.
