Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Cancel ALL subscriptions
The app confused me and I tried signing up for only a month long subscription but it instead signed me up for a year long membership for 212 dollars. I canceled it right before it said accept the charge and run it through. Well for some reason it still went through and now I’m out 212 dollars yet don’t even have full access to the benefits of spending that much money. I want my money back I don’t want to use this app.
You took an app and changed everything. Nothing is easy now, I can’t update my email protection and I have 38 notifications that I can’t get rid of!! This new set up is not user friendly. When I tried customer support, I got a blank screen. Not happy with this at all!
VPN is the opposite of fast and they make you jump through hoops to cancel subscription. Deleted the app now everything on my phone runs perfectly.
Not a fan of the new update. It says my phone is out of date but when I turn off the VPN…everything is up to date. Turn it on, same issue again. Have to manually go in the app and settings to “connect on demand” since it keeps disconnecting for some reason 😑
Confusing
Mcafee will keep popping up after you load it
This lies it says it’s free but the charge you $199.99 and don’t tell you about it. DO NOT USE. Then the act like they don’t know how to help you cancel the payment
The von has always worked well today it started blocking all internet traffic
Tried resetting network and changing locations, nothing works. If not resolved want refund and cheaper vpn option if mcaffee, which is supposed to be premium, doesn’t resolve this soon. iPhone 16 pro max
When I updated my iPhone recently it completely made my vpn not connect to the internet anymore. Whenever I turn it on, my phone loses access to the internet. Kinda makes the whole thing useless. If it’s not fixed, I won’t be continuing to use this service.
McAfee VPN no longer works on my iPhone 13 with the latest software update 26.6.2 version
VPN doesn’t work
Been using this app and VPN for 7 years and the last two weeks it won’t let me access my apps while using the VPN. Fix your stuff
Recently, an IOS update on my iPhone and iPad rendered my McAfee secured VPN useless. When turned on no internet traffic could get through. Called McAfee support and they verified this was the situation. My only option is turning off. “ secured VPN”. No fix or workaround offered by support. Thinking of canceling my current McAfee subscription
Last update has caused the VPN to become a major problem. If it’s connected nothing will load/run properly. As soon as I disconnect it everything goes back to normal. And if I have the VPN downloaded, how come every time I try to connect it McAfee adds Safe Browsing under the VPN ? Come on people, you are the ones that are supposed to be specially trained and yet you missed this little glitch.
Don't waste your time or money
It’s to expensive
This acts more like a virus then anything, on my laptop it will literally pop-up multiple messages every five minutes and when you press the X sign or ignore it will automatically take you to tabs that pops up more of those messages with false virus notifications even if you’re trying to do important things. Please do not download!
McAfee needs to be stopped. My elderly father had a recurring charge on his credit card for a subscription he hasn’t used in four years. Customer service made it difficult to cancel and refused a refund on the most recent yearly subscription. Do not support this dishonest company. Craig Boundy - you should be ashamed of the company you are leading.
Not reliable
Don’t get this app it is useless It just wants to charge you money so that the creator can get rich and leave you broke plus almost all of the features just need to be paid
Told to go to settings and messages. Tap unknown senders and spam. No such tab exists. Can not setup text scams
Always causes you to reconnect.
What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
We can't find the internet
