It can be intrusive at times popping up when I'm on youtube or something, telling me to clean junk or boost my battery. I'm not sure if one of its features is prolonging battery life since even when it's at like 5%...i can still do a fair bit before it dies. All in all I am using the free version and can't complain at least I can still free up large amounts of storage which sorts out the biggest issue..lack of storage ! Thanks. Ads have also massively reduced compared to before! 👍🏾I Recommend

Amazing! This app is absolutely amazing. I wish there were a few more perks but you have to pay for those. Unfortunately? Despite that, it works absolutely fine. Has done in the 2 years. I'll be using it. I have it on both phones and my Chromebook. It's fast efficient. Like I said though, I wish a few more of the pro perks available without paying? It is enough though as it is for now and protects my devices perfectly. Well done AVG! I can't see any issues at all either.Nothing that lets it down

Really dreadful, I wish I hadn't paid for this. The app is supposed to include all of AVG's services, but when you try and add the browser, it takes you to the listing for the browser alone and demands that you pay! There is no way to convince it that you have already paid. There seems to be little or no cohesion between the individual apps and the expensive "ultimate" package. Dreadful, really truly dreadful. This would be zero stars if Google allowed it.

Hi, the VPN has never been included in AVG AntiVirus Pro, only in the AVG Mobile Ultimate bundle. Read more about them on https://goo.gl/J75dWy. I hope the explanation helps. David*AVG
