Verizon Protect App Comments & Reviews

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..Version: 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..Version: 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 ..Version: 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..Version: 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..Version: 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..Version: 7.11.0

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..Version: 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.Version: 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..Version: 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..Version: 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..Version: 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..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..Version: 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..Version: 7.11.0

My phone from my ex or someone that was trying to helpHi quixk question i received this phone under somebody elses acct that i was seeing but now that i am under his account with this phone i feel like he can check where i am or who i am calling how do i make it so he cant do that it makes me feel really uncomfortable so what can i turn off that even he cant go thru my stuff please let me know thank you.Version: 1.0.29.1

ProtectionSo far I like what I have but I don’t think I understand what or how to utilize it to its full potential. I keep getting text messages from random numbers telling me my system has been corrupted and stuff like that. Every time I report it as junk, or block the number, I just get them from a different number..Version: 7.10.0

I did not like this app did not work brand new iPhone 14pro maxThis did not help my phone. I set this up on my brand new iPhone 14 pro max i had to get Norton 360 because I kept getting warnings and msg that my phone had viruses that will corrupt my eSIM and my battery now I can’t even trade my phone in caus i had a hard time trying to get a hold of Verizon. T-Mobile was so much better they had Macafee I never got virus or msg saying I had viruses on my phone or gmail pleas Verizon fix this app it is not working!.Version: 6.10.3

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..Version: 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.Version: 7.9.1

Happy customer.The representative was quick to answer my questions and gave me some further information that I was unaware of that is going to help me now and in the future. Pleasant to speak to and seemed really interested in helping the customer and she did help me. For a great employees that are knowledgeable and courteous, and willing to help solve your issues..Version: 7.8.5

Only the best of the bestKeeps me updated, lets me know of anything looking suspicious and keep everything I need to know to safety managed for only me! Meaning keep myself, my identity and my phone information properly protected. Exactly what’s you need and are asking for. Very much appreciate this being an option..Version: 7.11.0

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.Version: 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!.Version: 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. The problem? I can’t remove it from my phone. I can reduce it three sizes. That is all. I have talked to Three tech coaches. No one seems to know how to remove it. That is my present situation. Please help?.Version: 1.0.29.1

1 section of app keeps crashingWould give it 5 stars but web protection becomes unprotected multiple times daily. You have to hit on before it reattaches. My computer always stays attached to web unless I was to sign out with my chrome book. Of course you are not protected when this part of app goes off. I hope developer understands this..Version: 1.0.18

Verizon ProtectI’m very pleased with the data and identity security that this plan offers. It makes sure you are covered with everything you need to keep you and you info safe on your IPhone and that means a lot to me since I’ve had issues using other companies. Thank you Verizon!.Version: 7.7.2

Verizon Protect AppGood App, user and operator friendly. I appreciate the score to keep a person informed on the direction that their protection might be headed. Hopefully in receiving a higher or score that’s value is more means that an operators protection stands in a better place than it may have at that moment than maybe when before a lower score would have been received..Version: 7.13.0
