User reviews
My experience with Bit defender Antivirus is very new. I've kept a running subscription to Norton for years and years, and then, when it was up for renewal, I was like "Do I really require this, or, if I get rid of it, will I suddenly be attacked by everybody?!" So, I'm giving this free version a shot, and I'll see what happens! I supplement this with "Duck Duck Go's App Tracking Protection", which also has a VPN, and I'll give an updated review a bit later. So far, so good ✨👍🏼✨

It's important to have anti-malware protection and I chose Bitdefender because it's highly rated and recommended by "the experts." I like that it's efficient and gets right to the point by simply doing what it's supposed to, then it leaves me alone. It never pesters or annoys me like many others have done. Great app, 5 Stars.

No complaints. The app works well, The amount of notifications I was receiving was crazy. I've turned off notifications and am happy with Bitdefenders' performance. The free that I use version works great. This app is one of my must haves that I use when I'm cleaning my phone. Run the scan. You'll have peace. I'm very satisfied. Highly recommended.
