Verizon Protect Positive Reviews
Great! But,…I initiated Verizon Protect and found all my information was on the dark web. So, I wiped my device, I changed banks and bank account, created a pad system that will make it easier to recall passwords, but leave them sophisticated and very hard to guess. I immediately locked my device down upon installation. Then I remembered I needed to call and change my cell phone number too. Because that is linked to a lot of public information. So when I did, the Verizon protect app reset, and my VPN turned off. So I was trying to login and having trouble and Verizon Protect basically told me it didn’t recognize my new number when I typed it in. I called the coaching staff, and I said I’m just gonna delete this app and reinstall it. we installed it and it started fresh and I was able to lock my system down. I keep it the VPN on 100% of the time..DDDareDevilVersion: 7.13.0
Identity theft protectionI added VZ TOTAL PROTECT with the purchase of a new IPhone 13 Pro Max. I had this protection on my old IPhone 7 with no problems with the services. With my new IPhone, I cannot activate ITP. This service is supposed to be supported on my new phone per the Digital Protect app and other resources. I contacted VZ and went thru several tech support reps who couldn’t help. I was given a phone no. by one tech which got me to McAfee who provides the actual service. McAfee said they could not help me since they are only a partner with VZ on different databases and referred me back to VZ and ask for McAfee Tech Support within VZ. I called VZ again and had to go thru the entire explanation of my issue again with VZ tech support. It was finally escalated to a Tier 2 support coach who couldn’t figure out the problem and she finally brought a McAfee support rep in on a conference call. I went through all the instructions provided by the McAfee tech but he couldn’t fix my problem either. This was on a Thursday. He advised he was going to investigate and fix the problem that evening and call me back Friday morning, the next day to confirm the service. This conference call was over two weeks ago, I never received call back and still do not have ITP but still paying for it. Too many people involved that don’t know what they’re doing and don’t return calls. I have to keep Digital Secure as I need the WiFi protection on the phone but not getting what I’m paying for every month. Very dissatisfied..Yankee DawgVersion: 6.10.3
My ReviewThis app truly bought comfort to my life and when I type this I hope someone at least looks at this cause this is my honest review . I was hacked or something happened with my info & I needed help immediately. I called Verizon (my phone company) and they offered me things I never heard of before . I was scared at first but I went with the plan (mobile protect) . I’m sorry to all the representatives that I’ve came across with maybe bad attitudes because of my frustration but this is the first time you guys asked me for a review on this so I’m giving one . Thank you guys for this service cause it helped me out maybe not completely but far enough to push comfort back in me again. Thank you Verizon , from your loyal but late paying customer , Michael ..IneviiitableVersion: 7.12.1
Needs to allow secure inflight wifiThis app is great, but doesn’t allow me to even connect to my work wifi, which happens to be an unsecure connection on a plane everyday. It shows our wifi available to connect, but when it does it says “no internet connection” while all of my coworkers’ internet works perfectly fine as usual. I have tried simply turning off the VPN and/or the WiFi security protection to no avail. Have tried every combination with the app to try and make it work. The only thing that allows me to connect to the plane WiFi is deleting the app entirely. I have done this quite a few times. I don’t buy the full access WiFi like passengers do obviously, but need to utilize the free unsecure connection for flight time/altitude levels for my job. This app does not allow me to do that. Wish there was some sort of update to allow this for me. It’s convenient otherwise..Saucy716638Version: 1.0.28.1
Not User FriendlyI won’t waste any time.
My main complaint is the way the VPN works and how it’s designed. It does its job as a VPN when turned on properly, but for an average user it’s nearly impossible to set it up. When you set up the app for the first time, it is highly recommended that you set up a VPN. To do so, it redirects you to your iPhone settings app, asks for your passcode, and installs the VPN. (Or two, rather, but we’ll get to that.) Afterwards it’s a nightmare to set up from the perspective of a non-tech-savvy individual.
When you connect to a public network, you may or may not get a notification on your phone saying your “wi-fi isn’t safe” so you need to connect to a VPN. (I say “may not” because that notification solely depends on whether or not the app was recently opened. Very user friendly indeed.) Doing so requires that in your settings app, you have “safe wi-fi” (NOT safe web, the second VPN the app installs) checked off and NOT turned on in the VPN settings section. Afterwards, then you may go in the app and attempt to turn it on then, but even then it may not work.
I’ve attempted to use the “reinstall VPN” feature but I’m met with an error message every time, so I sent data logs to McAfee, the company behind the digital secure app, hoping someone from their team will fix these problems, but where I’ve been dealing with this for years, I feel like even this review will fall on deaf ears.
Verizon is expensive. That I’m sure we can all agree. I would like a quality service from their suite along with it. They’re a 165 billion dollar company, I believe they have the funds to spare for the maintenance of these apps..BigboolinmanVersion: 6.10.3
ChiefI pray you are still doing a great job of services since I’ve been sick. I am trusting you as I am weak still but concerned about accounts? Please tell me if it’s something I am doing wrong my phone was taken while I was in hospital then found as someone had it had it worked on now it’s missing. So I am on another phone my niece has and I’m feeling something wrong? I haven’t received a replacement as of yet can you please look into this for me and see what may be happening? God Bless I look forward to hearing from you. There were some issues before but I’m trying to recover and Hillis is supposed to be taking care of it. Thanks for your help in this in advance..G.W.

8.2.1 Verizon Protect too tight.I installed this latest version on my iphone 17 Pro Max the day it was released. Within an hour i noticed my yahoo mail utilizing the Apple email app no longer downloaded my email in the normal expedient manner i was accustomed to. I did NOT immediately associate this issue with verizon protect as I had also updated ios to 26.4.1. I opened a ticket with apple who spent the time necessary to determine the problems origin. When deactivating the VPN, my mail populated my mailbox in lightning speed. We activated VPN and submitted emails and they would not download until deactivation of VPN again. I have had Verizon Protect for years now and it has worked fine for my needs, until this particular upgrade. I am advising that deactivating my VPN to allow my email to download is not a viable option. Please fix this. Thank you..SjchrispyVersion: 8.2.1
Review for Verizon appI don’t know how to use it but it’s saying that both my emails and my phone number is on the dark web. Right now I can’t get into my Apple account, it’s grayish and so is my video for video calls. Because Apple is grayish I can’t change my password to my outlook email account, I haven’t been able to get into it for 2months.
As far as my 3 Verizon apps they are doing their job and I love the fact that they block all phone numbers that aren’t in my contacts. Thank you very much for your good work and letting me know who or what is hacking me.
It’s a daily thing for me to see 2-20 attempts to get into my wallet, health, contacts and other things & apps. If I look Apple has a list of dates and times for the attacks and attempts.
It’s funny how they are even trying to change my passwords to almost every app I have including my 3 Verizon apps. It’s only your apps that consistently let me know. Thank you. Sincerely, Margaret.App is half wrongVersion: 7.4.0
Works fine for what it isI’ve had the standalone Safe WiFi on my iPhone 12 and used it when I traveled overseas with no issues. I used it when I would be on the hotel’s WiFi and had no issues with connectivity. I now have an iPhone 14 Pro and recently installed the Digital Secure (recently replaced Safe WiFi). The only minor gripe is when I have a trusted network saved and “connect on demand” on my iPhone will still connect to the VPN (on the trusted network). With Digital Secure, I now have to turn off the VPN and turn it on manually when I need it. The Safe WiFi would not connect to a trusted network even with “auto connect/connect on demand” on..ParaBellum2AVersion: 6.10.3
Verizon Protect App is the BestAfter receiving so many spam emails, calls and messages I decided to reach out to Verizon to protect my internet connection. It has been the best decision I ever made. Now I just let the Verizon Protection App do what I couldn’t do and protect my internet, calls and messages. If you are having issues with spam calls, emails and messages I highly recommend the Verizon Protection Apps for your phone and laptop. I have been a Verizon customer for over 15 years and love their customer service, support and service..MpujalsVersion: 7.9.1
Web protection isn’t staying onI’ve had 3 separate chats with the digital secure team. 1st call: advised I delete the app and reinstall; same issue of the safe-Wi-Fi turning on and off. 2nd call; I was told to go to settings and turn on the protect me from unknown networks feature; same issues as before. The icing on the cake was yesterday’s rep told me to contact McAfee. Why should I call the developer? That’s on Verizon to do to make sure the product they are selling to their customers works. Digital Secure worked for awhile and then it didn’t. I don’t see any reason to keep using the product if it’s not working. Very disappointed in Verizon. Signed- a very, very longtime customer..Massdel5Version: 1.0.22
I can hear you!This little phone of mine not only takes and makes telephone calls but it’s like my file cabinet, tv, and keeper of all my life’s most important everything in a neat tiny package.
Still learning how to use all that it holds. I’m
77 years old and it’s helped me move into the 21st century and on top of it all it keeps me connected to everyone when I want to be. Best of all I can hear very clearly, better than on the house phone..Old but not out!Version: 7.10.0
Good when it stays connectedSame issue I’m having with this is that it for some reason continually turns itself off and I keep trying to reinstall and reset my network or Wi-Fi, but it doesn’t fix it. It keeps taking me off and will show it’s on in the dashboard, but when I am actually in the app it’s showing turned off and asks me to tap on the button to turn it on. It also shows that there is threats and when I go into that it shows nothing. So, hopefully this will be looked at and someone will help fix this issue because it’s never worked properly..Honestgal801Version: 1.0.22
Protected!This is a great way to have your phone, tablets, laptops and other devices protected. Monitoring my calls and texts keeps me safe from unnecessary distractions and hackers. Though I can’t say it’s 100% useful, I know and experienced the usefulness of this app. The only downside is when I’m expecting certain calls, if I don’t add or it’s not in my contacts, it sends it to voicemail in which I miss the call I needed to answer right away..Devil Dawg MarineVersion: 7.11.0

Good/BadI do enjoy using this app however sometimes it gets on my nerves. The reason why I say that is because I have to disconnect from it because it won’t let me on the Internet sometimes it blocks me from using the Internet, but that’s to be expected but whatever I do enjoy it though I think sometimes that maybe it does leave me vulnerable to hackers also just as much as it keeps me from being hacked. But as of right now, I enjoy it..DebStoh88Version: 7.12.1
Great service overallI love Verizon and no I’m not a bot or anything but yesss I don’t like Verizon at first and never had it only AT&T and now switching Verizon has protected my information gave me great benefits no other carrier can compete or compare with and also the price of my bill is so good I will never leave even their internet service has never let me down.Liam ReynoldVersion: 7.9.1

Doesn’t trust it’s performanceThe app’s functionality impedes connection especially when the mail app appears to be downloading the mail . The connection is a huge issue which is how disappointing it is for me to see how limited it appears to function as a legitimate security app. It appears to constantly hinders the connection which is critical for me to have access online while using an existing WiFi network server.Enna689Version: 7.1.0
Love this AppI absolutely love this app! Yet for the last 2 years I have not been able to access the upgraded version where you receive all services! Can not get a direct answer on what the problem is! Everyone I have talked to keeps trying to make it my fault on why it’s not working!
Also this app should be available to add to your account through add on and perks! Should not depend on plan or insurance you have!.Tatorbugg11Version: 6.10.4
Having a problemWhen the program found a problem and emailed me. I opened the app and got a pop up window. It is a talk to text recording device that records all conversations between thought and the person you are talking to.

Verizon Protect Negative Reviews
LIARS!Verizon wireless has been the most disrespectful, unethical, hateful, and DISHONEST company, I’ve ever encountered. SAVE YOUR STORAGE, by not downloading this app! SAVE YOUR TIME, by not bothering to call/chat with these ppl/bots! SAVE YOUR MONEY, by GETTING AWAY FROM VERIZON WIRELESS! They lie about everything, over charge you for everything. They’re using several different “gimmicks” to over charge you, have you hit the wrong button, etc., that will show up on your bill, I’ll just put it that way. If you’re experiencing issues with this company and would like to share your story , PLEASE “@“ THEM ON TWITTER, and share your story on Twitter and how you’ve been treated and misinformed by every rep. that you spoke/chatted with. It’s disgusting how they’re getting away with treating their own customers. If you prefer verbally speaking with an agent, instead of a bot or chat, no matter how kind you are to them, get ready bc you’re going to be waiting hours, have nothing accomplished, many times you’ll be disconnected from the rep (bc they hung up) w/o without a return call even tho you provided them with your name, number, and four digit pin at the start of the call. Also notate this too, Verizon is trying so hard to be a company that works with clients via internet/bots ONLY (NO CALLS) ALSO NOTE THIS, if you’re not tech savvy and/or have elderly family members on Verizon or difficultly reading, writing, spelling or seeing your phone to type out the things you need to say, get ready for “Instructions on downloading every app known to mankind for bots to assist you and CUSTOMER CARE telling you why they’re just there to be the middle man & they will gladly tell you they don’t have too. It also went from a $7 agent assistance fee to now a $10 assistant fee to simply pay your bill with help from the financial department. If you would like to share your story and need a platform to do so I will gladly provide that platform for ANY OF YOU… Find me on Reddit!.Need a review chat section!Version: 1.0.25.2
Digital SecureI downloaded this on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. It made my phone act crazy. It started lagging really bad and when I did the IOS 15 software update, I literally could not get my Wi-Fi to stay connected. It would only come on for a split second and go back off. The VPN on phone kept going on and off consistently. Didn’t even realize app had a VPN. If it doesn’t have a VPN then it just apparently freaked out the VPN slide button on settings. I don’t think this app has a VPN UNLESS you are using Wi-Fi. It doesn’t protect your browsing when you are just using LTE or 5G. The app would never let me turn on the actual browser protection. Every time I tried turning it on it would search and search and then suddenly stop. App has good ratings but did not work very well for me at all and I have been a Verizon Customer for over 20 years. This supposedly comes with my plan even though I’d recently just realized they offered the protection..Tanee1Version: 1.0.19
Useless, frustrating. WorthlessThe digital secure has been spotty since I downloaded it when I got the phone. I get a lot of “connecting”s,
certificate errors, cannot connects, and once in a blue moon I actually get a connection. Sometimes it even kicks me off my home network, even in the middle of a call, so that’s fun!
So the tech lady on the support app, Cindy, has me reset the phone I’ve had for two weeks, assuring me that will probably fix it. Huh?? I’ve had Apple devices long enough to realize that’s probably not as simple as that. THEN she asked me if I’ve done a back up??? (Hey may be lead with that Cindy?)
This new iPhone immediately stopped synching with my other Apple devices. I couldn’t even link it with my laptop. And I did not wanna do the reset; the app had been endlessly downloaded reloaded; the phone had been restarted, everything had been checked. I should have trusted my instincts because since that happened very early today, nothing on this perfectly good two week old phone has worked. I set it up myself and it was seamless except for this stupid Digital Secure app. And now I can’t even get my basic functions back the way I had them.
I spent an hour at the Verizon brick and mortar store where two lovely ladies finally got the devices to sync, however still couldn’t get the fabulous (*sarcasm, here*) Digital Secure to stay active until I got to my car.I went back into the Verizon store and this time they couldn’t even get it to link at all. Abysmal app, not even worth the digital footprint (in fact I wouldn’t even waste the time reading the thing except I want other people to be informed)

Great….For the ones who are “techy” I’m sure it’s easy to navigate through all kinds of things, but for people like me, getting hacked, losing all your information, your number that you used for everything, including my business, credit cards, literally everything, and having someone invade your personal space as well As federally regulated commerce and trade, forcing someone to lose their business as well as their home and not being able to get the proper support and help Is just unacceptable. We live in an age of technology everywhere, and would think that when the problem is noticed and addressed there would be good help on the other end. Nope, nothing but dead ends, bad advice, and a mess of problems still going on today.

Does not workI, too, have experienced the same issues as one wrote in February 2022. Verizon’s digital secure app does not work correctly, and I constantly have to reset it. After a long phone conversation with this “team” not answering my question and having me jump thru hoops downloading their app. I constantly kept asking, how come you will not answer my question? After talking with a supervisor, she agreed that the representative I spoke with did not respect my time, didn’t answer my initial inquiry, and ended our conversation with, “ok, thank you, and goodbye.” She followed up with, “I will speak with the representative, for I can see the feed of conversation.” He also instructed me to call McAfee when I don’t have it. He tried to sell me something, and I explained I was not interested in purchasing anything, for I needed an answer. The second call resulted in the same. I then deleted the app..Mygirl7HeavenVersion: 1.0.25.2
I am not happy with my Digital SafeI have had my product about 1 1/2-2 yrs now and I cannot get it to work consistently! It is on and off all the time. I really want safe

UselessThis app has been terrible for years and it just keeps getting worse. Since I got an IPhone over a year ago and I have Verizon mobile protect I have never had the full features even though I am supposed to. I have called several times and they will fix it and several hours later it will go back to the free version.
Even when I had everything on my old phone it was useless though and I ended up needing a separate VPN and antivirus and malware app.
It astounds me that it can be this dysfunctional after being around for years and even more so that it is so problematic for Verizon to get their own app to work consistently on people’s phones that are their customers.
Verizon’s level of customer service has tanked in the last few years..AdultingBooVersion: 6.10.3
Terrible coverageI have found that many times when I check my safe and secure it is not working. I always have to go in and switch it on it has been the worst service I’ve ever had. I am now worried that my service has been hacked and have had to call and spent countless hours on the phone with customer service representative and the fraud department to ensure that my phone has not been hacked. I am very disappointed and unhappy with the service I have received and have Proof of the countless hours that my phone was not protected or my Internet service.

So far, not impressedI got this app mostly for my elderly parents. I was told that it would help reduce the junk texts and calls- a few months in- not really… possibly not at all. Today alone, my mother told me she got about 15 junk calls today… so she went to the Verizon store to see what could be done about it.
Some guy at the Verizon store said he had never heard of that app and he doubted it really belonged to Verizon 🤦♀️… my mother is a twitchy-nervous person as it is! She called me still in the store in a panic- thinking she had downloaded a virus on her phone (this “safe” app), due to what the guy in the store said to her, but also because the app doesn’t seem to do ANYTHING- not impressed… but Avast’ phone app doesn’t work on my dads old cell phone and this did (supposedly)..Chewis55Version: 1.0.29.1
Works 90% of time at bestApp almost never connects on its own as it’s supposed to, have to constantly open it to force it to connect and every time you open the app and prompts you to turn on other services that you’ve repeatedly declined. As it’s attempting to connect to their servers and activate the vpn it prevents you from using the wifi your trying to connect to, it will repeatedly fail to connect to the vpn. I’ve finally just deleted the app after months of struggling with it, it has been updated several times during that period and none of the updates have fixed any of the issues. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled it several times during my time using it, nothing worked to fix it..Chris1962001Version: 1.0.25.2
Paying for 3 devices and only works on oneI have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and every time I have to manually turn on VPN, then when I’m using data it shows VPN on??? No matter what I do, multiple calls to Verizon it still lists me as a basic user… However I pay for the TMP multiple device $50 dollars a month (Verizon) for 3 devices only to be told 1. it doesn’t work on my 12.9 iPad Pro at all or my iphone. Says I’m a basic user, tried adding device through the app links and Verizon app but nothing works. Even the Verizon tech support couldn’t give me an answer. Basically paying for device insurance when I already have apple care for that?!!!! Absolute Waste of $50 dollars a month plus I can’t cancel according to verizon..MadmaggieVersion: 1.0.19
Degraded version removed functionalityVerizon failed to update, or even notify users of an update to, a prior version. When the earlier version failed to provide identity-theft protection, a bot advised that I should update the app. The update fails to provide any such protection- not even a link to an option to activate it. Not surprisingly, Verizon failed to reduce its monthly charge for the reduced functionality. This version of the app provides much less functionality under a user-surly dashboard. …. So much for Verizon’s pathetic idea of digital protection.
….
As of the date of this revised comment Verizon has failed to restore the app’s functionality for identity protection, despite several emails that I have sent Verizon asking them to restore it..Joe.GouldVersion: 6.10.3
Constantly disconnectsThe apps is great when it connects. However, in the history. It shows that while I am using email or other apps. It constantly disconnects. Causing leaking information.
I had PIA ‘Private Internet Access,’ I had NordVPN. Compared to this VPN. Those other VPN lets me choose which server to connect. And if there is a traffic that causes lag in the internet. They give me options of switching VPN servers. This doesn’t give me options to switch manually.
Also, like I said everytime I am using an apps. It would turn off. Especially using social media such as Twitter and Facebook. The Digital Secure would disconnects.
I also installed Safe-Wifi to help me install the VPN profile. However it would take hours of trying to setup a VPN profile. And the Digital secure would turn off everytime I try to turn on the Safe Browsing and Safe Wifi VPN. Which is a struggle trying to turn on both for protectiob for internet browsing, safe-wifi and VPN.
I keep turning on Safe Browsing and Safe-wifi and VPN turns off. When I try to turn on VPN and Safe-Wifi, the Safe-Browsing would turn off. Struggling for an hour trying to keep all features turned on at the same time. Its certainly waste an hour of my time just trying to turn on all security features for Digital Secure.
When I stopped subscribing to PIA and NordVPN they retaliate by leaking information. Those VPN companies are untrustworthy because when I ask for my refund because they resubscribed me automatically when I wanted to stop my subscription and uninstall their apps. While I was using a free VPN called FreeVPNorg and then switched to Digital Secure because my carier is verizon. A lot of my information is already in the dark web. This is why I have been constantly being harassed by people with my personal information.
This is why VPN is so important to me. And why having digital secure turning off while I am using a apps such as email or social media is such a disappointment in the digital secure apps..203069Version: 1.0.29.1
Will Update If Proven WrongMy phone had a spy app installed (either someone had physical access to this phone or the previous phone that had been stolen was used) on it, and there was no warning from digital secure about a security breach. They were able to access all of my contacts, everything I wrote, took pictures/videos of…essentially hijacked anything and everything personal. If digital secure isn’t able to detect apps like this, okay. But that’s why I partly downloaded this app. Would someone please explain what digital secure is meant to do for a person who is not technologically savvy? Thanks in advance..Kathad9Version: 1.0.25.2
Verizon protect appI like that it has the secure VPN. Other features would probably be helpful as well but app is being very glitchy for me. Says a refresh is needed. I try to refresh and it still doesn’t work. App will not let me enter my date of birth which I’ve been fighting for close to a month now. Continue to contact Verizon. Agents are very helpful but to no avail. I don’t know if Verizon needs to update their app or what for sure, but at this time I don’t fully recommend this service unless Verizon can get the issues fixed so I can use everything the app offers..Miss 717 (AKA Pack fan)Version: 7.14.0
Just go somewhere else.You can’t change your virtual location. With the iPhone, I could not disconnect half the time I wanted to. I have deleted this app so many times because that was the only way to get it to turn off. Horrible VPN. Just go find a sale happening on any other namebrand VPN and pay the money. You will be much happier than using this horrible horrible app And expecting it to work.
I gave it two stars only because sometimes, sometimes, it would work correctly And do what I needed it to do..$$-shotVersion: 7.13.0
Don’t workCalled everyday for a week day and night to fix the problem I was having with this app. It worked for a few when I got the phone after that it stopped . No one knew how to fix the problem. It felt like I spoke to everyone that worked for Verizon and still just a lot of bck and forth. McAfee found the problem, but Verizon still didn’t know what they were talking about and not person knew how to do what McAfee needed to be done. So I now have a feature I can’t use. REALLY!!!.Screwed 55Version: 1.0.25.2
Call filter moved here, cannot identify type of line (can’t tell if it’s VoIP)Call filter moved here from the standalone app. I can no longer identify the type of line, so I can’t tell if it’s VoIP. Most spam is usually from VoIP callers. I also cannot see the owner/business of the line now. How is that helpful to your customers? I get an insane amount of spam calls and this is absolutely not helpful. I need to be able to see which are legitimate as people frequently refuse to leave a voicemail. I need to know if I have to follow up with medical or emergency calls..Tigerrrrrrrr82Version: 8.4.0
Does workI had this app was paying on it around a year. They never alerted me when my Facebook account had been hacked and another Facebook account was linked to mine so they don’t catch what’s going on your phone or tablet they just take your monthly payment and stick it in their pocket. Even took my iPhone 11 up to Verizon and showed them the Facebook accounts that was linked to my phone so now I don’t trust my phone cause I don’t know who’s in it and what all they have access to so I’m out $800 for a iPhone 11 put a year of payments of 5.95 a mouth..Hurst47LVersion: 1.0.23
DO NOT USEThis app has caused issues with connection to the cloud; even Google Maps would not load anything from the cloud, and therefore, no map. After several hours with tech support, with both the Verizon and Apple teams, who were both very helpful, the Apple support guy was able to get my phone working again, as it should. Save yourself the trouble and find another option. The Verizon Techs just don’t know anything about this issue, as helpful as they may be in trying to find the solution..-SprinklerGuyVersion: 1.0.23
Won’t let me cancelThe rep at the store was extremely pushy and concerned with my credentials. Installed something on my device without my consent and locked me out of my new iPhone 20 minutes after leaving the store. Then Verizon recommended this application but now I’m having issues with my actual Verizon account which makes me question is the whole process done to scare customers into services and higher prices? I will be calling today to cancel.JB7953Version: 6.10.4
More Bad then GoodDoes very little to protect my phone. VPN tends to block all internet connection, identity monitoring won’t stop sending emails on the same data breach, and I have no use for safe browser, I seem to know what websites are good and bad. More of a pain than not, but I pay for it so… Verizon, please up your game. I’ve been with you for well over 25 years, and for the first time, i am looking at other options. Don’t become the WalMart of phone providers..AnotherRat75Version: 6.10.4
Doesn’t workI don’t know if this “protects” you per se. It makes the phone extremely laggy and just doesn’t load things like comments under an article. So if protection means you phone is as slow as a 1990’s flip phone and you can’t actually do about 75% of what you try to do, then I guess you could say it works. I just turned it off and am now using a different VPN that does work. Even though I have it turned off, it still nags me constantly that it’s disabled. I guess I have to uninstall..GivemeandroidVersion: 8.4.0
