Really dreadful, I wish I hadn't paid for this. The app is supposed to include all of AVG's services, but when you try and add the browser, it takes you to the listing for the browser alone and demands that you pay! There is no way to convince it that you have already paid. There seems to be little or no cohesion between the individual apps and the expensive "ultimate" package. Dreadful, really truly dreadful. This would be zero stars if Google allowed it.

Hi, the VPN has never been included in AVG AntiVirus Pro, only in the AVG Mobile Ultimate bundle. Read more about them on https://goo.gl/J75dWy. I hope the explanation helps. David*AVG

This app came installed on my phone and wasn't an issue for the last year. But recently they decided that it needs to be running in the notification bar at all times without being able to choose to hide it. Since this change I have noticed a dip in my battery life, and it's because the app continuously changes and runs new programs within itself. Also I have every notification turned off and every time it updates it turns all of them back on, and it updates pretty often.

Hi, it should not consume too much battery, but bugs may happen. We would like to resolve it so please contact my colleagues on [email protected] with further details about your phone (type, app and android version, any ROM modifications?). They will find a solution for you. Thanks, David*AVG

It can be intrusive at times popping up when I'm on youtube or something, telling me to clean junk or boost my battery. I'm not sure if one of its features is prolonging battery life since even when it's at like 5%...i can still do a fair bit before it dies. All in all I am using the free version and can't complain at least I can still free up large amounts of storage which sorts out the biggest issue..lack of storage ! Thanks. Ads have also massively reduced compared to before! 👍🏾I Recommend
