I've used the free version for a couple decades now & have just recently decided to try the premium. I REALLY DO like both! There are more options now with premium than free version has but other than that I don't see much difference except for free version tells u when u haven't scanned for a week, premium seems to scan auto which I LOVE. Just so everyone knows, Malwarebytes is another GREAT app to add to this. Also, If u keep declining the paid version of both they'll give u premium cheaper!😁

Friendly user interface. No performance issues. I just switched to Avast from another provider and now use it on both my phone and my laptop and have extended this coverage to my daughters phone that has been frequently riddled with malware, and we've had no issues since. Avast has also been one of the top 3 anti-virus recommendations in my Cybersecurity courses. Great job!

7-26-24: updating to 5 stars because it does what I need it to do, which is protect my phone. 5-23-23: It's been 3 years since my first review and this app has proven to be an excellent protection for my phone. Would recommend. 7-22-20: In the last month, the app has been skipping the nightly scan most nights and when it does do the scan, it is done 45 minutes late. Can't seem to find the problem.
