Good free app. Makes it difficult to update or search sometimes. Always trying to sell the upgrade over and over and over. 2 or 3 times, everytime you use the app. So if you don't mind repeating that you dont want to buy the expensive upgrade everytime you use it, then it's no problem. To be fair, in 5+ years it's never found a virus, so I've no idea if it actually works, but it gives me peace of mind.

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

Very intrusive ads with the latest update has made it very difficult to use the functions. The ads were never as bad as this before. Also, there is a scan notification that goes off at 3am every night. This is so annoying as it wakes me up and I can not find how to change, remove or silence it. I need my phone for emergencies so can't silence it at night. I have used AVG for years on all sorts of devices but I intend to find something else now.

Hi, developing apps costs money, so in order to support our operation, we display ads within our FREE version and promote our Pro version, which doesn’t include ads or promotional campaigns. However, we are always collecting feedback and might change the way the ads and notifications are set at the moment. David*AVG
