100% deceptive. Purchased the app and VPN that says available on 5 devices. When I went to link my Mac I was told you cannot use on different "platforms." If I wanted to use on anything other than an android phone have to pay twice the amount. This is not specified on its description. It says 5 devices and also gives a way to link. They tried to play the devices means the one you're on. Again it needs to be clear. Very clear! Not oh yeah and when you call in require you to pay twice. Refunding

Good security a n VPN service. Hasn't tried to change any settings not authorized. If I give a service any access to all my device settings for security , I will always monitor their activity . I have found in the past that their was unauthorized changes to my device settings as well as changes to my personal account. For example, hanged passwords and deletion of stored fingerprints. I have since deleted the app that I believe to be responsible. Been better though stillspam.

This is for the people who are on a budget like me. Unlike most anti-virus apps in the market, with Avast, upgrading to the paid version is just the beginning of a very long list of upgrades. Each single feature has to be paid separately. For big bucks. Avg anti-virus has the same rating on play store and it's as good, and the whole premium package is for less than a hundred bucks a year. Money doesn't grow on trees!
