Constant unimportant notifications, day and night, I feel harassed by it. Signs out frequently and without warning, multiple times a day; occasionally has trouble signing in again (gives a 404 when trying to authenticate login details). The login process is otherwise very smooth. Requires more permissions than other security apps in order to perform what I consider basic functions (understandable for ID theft check, but not for basic antivirus/internet security). Economic, but I regret it.

Very bad. I liked McAfee for many years but not anymore. I installed it on my new phone but the number won't verify and always just says Try again. No one from support whether from chat or phone can help me or understand my problem. When I tried to register to ask the community, the registration box doesn't work. After that I couldn't even get to the community page! I am really pissed off! There you feel left alone and the support is absolutely useless! Very bad service!

Really good at catching spam texts and protecting my phone overall, but the latest update is DRAINING my battery. I used to be able to make it to around 7pm before my battery was in the 30% range, now it's in the 30's by 2pm. Almost no phone usage today and I'm down to 85% within 90 minutes of taking it off the charger. I'm losing about 1% every 5 minutes or so. If this isn't fixed, I'll have to uninstall and go with a different security app
