Great, except for hangups The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is that the app lock often hangs up and keeps me from accessing the app. I usually can clear this by closing and restarting the app. Updated 25 Nov 2024: Had to remove from my phone because the latest version kept messing up my camera/microphone during video appointments. Same thing happened on my PC. Both devices had been working fine but the last update made it impossible to connect camera and microphone.

I like the constant notification that's it's working but the app lock has gotten so frustrating it won't actually unlock and when I try to get into the set app itself I can't. So I can't scan, adjust settings, or do anything at all since I'm locked out of the app, and yes this has only been a problem since update.

Would really like a VPN on just 2 devices for less than 180 bucks. Honestly would be 4 stars if they had that. Just downgrade the ultimate to 2 or 3 devices and lower the price and it would be about perfect. Constantly has the anti phishing being deactivated tho. Having to manually re activate it all the time is slightly annoying.
