Avast SecureLine VPN for Android
You had a good thing and you turn it to a slow and frustrating thing
Great app, good price, plenty of options for everybody.Highly recommend! From the average person just looking for a better Netflix option to a more advanced user, this is the app for you! "one thing" I will say though is be careful with the yearly subscription. I ordered it, they sent me an email saying they cancelled it but I was not refunded. I'm sure I can simply email there service department but the fact I have to is a bit of a headache to be honest. Still resigned for another year though! *Great app*
Used trial version and loved it. Bought annual subscription and now wont open. Screen shows "Working" and "Cant access your subscription try again soon" I have tried uninstalling reinstslling and restsrting debice. Nothing works. Have cancelled my subscription . Very disappointing as I have always loved using Avast products and realy liked the trial.
Awesome app! Works well with mobile security so just settling for the two apps for now as I don't surf the web uploading and downloading to justify adding the cleaner app. However, if you do a lot of surfing etc etc then I recommend the cleaner app as I used to run all three apps without any problems. Thanks Avast! Keep up the good work! I love the call blocker!!! Toodlepip!
Still trying this app so far it's fairly decent will continue to pay the monthly fee for another month. My issues is in the afternoon around 4pm mountain time it really slows down. I wide expect that from free VPN apps but not paid ones.
This app was really good, I bought the monthly license for android and pc but since two days ago it is too slow and cant open anything. Im gonna cancel my license for both, become useless and its a rip off make you pay for something that cant use the 30 days payed. I connect to BR,sao paulo. It shows connected but cant open any page. One week ago ot was ok
I just now decided to try this, and, I selected Salt Lake City, as my VPN location, so that living in the Philadelphia area, so that I could watch The Mets, when they play against the losers, known as The Philadelphia Phillies (Phillies). And, after paying for this, all I get is AN ERROR OCCURRED". - Did Crooked Hillary (the career loser) recently purchase or otherwise corrupt Avast? It sure would be great to get a response to this message, left on 11/14/2016 @ 11:30 AM (EST).
This is a total rip off I, foolishly, bought this app both for my phone and my PC. Neither work! I have tried a wide variety of variables in 2 separate countries and still can't get anything to work properly. I shouldn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out how to get it working. Also the customer service is appalling!! Been trying for over a week and still no response from them. A total rip off. Now I'll no doubt have to waste a hole load more time trying to get my money back!!
This app seemed like it would be a great VPN app under the Avast name. However this app keeps shutting down way too much. It's very unreliable to me. When you go to the 'Connect' screen to connect, as you leave the screen or click on the menu, the app disconnects. It's very frustrating!
If you don't care whether it works all the time, by all means get this app! I tried it before I subscribed and didn't have any problems, but now it won't activate. So if you're good with occasional protection whenever the app feels like working, go for it. Maybe you like to live dangerously. Good for you!
I'm interested in this product, but nowhere can I find any information about monthly or annual costs beyond the trial period. If they can't be upfront enough to tell me the cost, then I'm not interested in the product. And if the cost is that hidden, i have to wonder how unclear the rest of the documentation for the program is. I'll pass.
I have tried, unsuccessfully, to setup the software and in every case get an error 1000 message. My several years in the telecom field leaves me with no conclusion but to NOT recommend the app.
It doesn't stay connected. I think I'm secure then out of NOWHERE connection lost or unable to connect. Dang it. Update... 3-20-17, I connected in Los Angeles at approx 5pm on 3-18-17 and it hasn't dropped yet. I drove to Northern California (grapevine included) and it's STILL connected. Great improvement A VAST
This is a 7 or 14 day free trial. You have to pay for this app. It should say that on this page. Some people don't read the "READ MORE" part of the page. When you charge for an app SAY SO UP FRONT. Opera has a totally free VPN. I am disappointed in Avast. Uninstalled. I won't even try the free trial
I put $25 on the Google Play store so that I could pay for whichever security apps I decided to install. And they won't let me use it. I don't know if it's Google or if it's Avast but I'm not allowed to use my Google Play balance I have to give them another payment source - kind of frustrated. Not going to be able to pay for a year now. I know avast is an excellent product. I will rate it possibly better after I can purchase the subscription using my google pay balance.
Why is secure line getting disconnected now and then. If it gets disconnected like this then no more the wi fie connection be secured. Kindly fix this otherwise i wont continue with it. VPN keeps connecting from time to time? Very irritating. Pl solve this problem ASAP.
Managed to get this to work once, during the trial. Since then it's just sat there trying to connect. The last thing I want to do when I need a vpn is to start scouring a forum for help. Things like this should just work. Feb 17: Another try. Still doesn't work out of the box (may not work at all, for all I know). In reply to Avast: yes, the latest attempt was a reinstall.
This app doesn't connect after you click the connect botton. I have to disconnect wifi and reconnect so many times before it finaly works. So impractical! Don't waste your money!!
Paid version won't let me download from Play Store which sort of defeats the object of having it. Can this be sorted please? Also it's not very good with showing photos and videos, it struggles to download them to play them online
I really like the other Avast products but this one let's the side down somewhat. Some servers, particularly the London one/s, are not stable and will drop with no warning. Also, whilst Avast claims they don't keep logs, they aren't specific about what identifiers they do keep. That may mean some won't want to consider this service.
The app randomly connects even though I set the connection rules to only connect if I allow it to, the in app main button is unresponsive so I can not controll anything, it seems frozen as it does not have any animation when I press it. The app also randomly disconnects even though when it is connected to my strong home wifi (more than 20mbps) I am using an LG G3
What in the world is going on with this app, Says I need a license even though I have one already, So I click already have a license it searches and tells me I have no license and I get a error message too. I have to 11,17,17 till my sucription ends and the license does not show up on my avast acct either. "Update" Tech support came through and fixed the issue
Apart from the odd drop out which my devices tell me about, I find this excellent as I use a few insecure sites when away. Charged twice for this and unable to get any refund, so take care when purchasing.
Original review: App works ok during trial version. After they charge you, the app will not stay connected. I should have read the reviews as this is a common problem. If you're reading this review, then good for you. You're smarter than me. EDITED: app will stay connected if power saving mode is turned off. At least for me so far.
I have a paid subscription and still asks for $ every month! Total rip off, don't download! There are dozens of free versions that actually work. This one doesn't
I have access to high speed public Wi-Fi and this app allows me to take advantage of it without worrying if my various accounts will be compromised. The peace of mind it affords me is well worth the couple a bucks a month.
This app Does not like Canadian apps. This app is a rip off, I have used it for about a year now and found it doesn't like any Canadian apps at all. Will not allow me to watch any movies on Netflix or any of the Shaw apps. Why do I have to pay for this app since it doesn't work anymore. Was working fine till your last few updates. Time to get a better working app. This one keeps failing me.
Only work for about two months,after that started showing ERROR could not been fixed but company continues to automatically deduct money from my account,no customer service member to complain to, this company is a rip off.
This app worked well for a couple of weeks, I then added it to my laptop and it now strangles the Internet connection on both my devices, so now I have to disable it on my phone and laptop to be able to surf the web. I am paying a monthly subscription for something that is basically a hinderence. I do not have power save on my devices as has been mentioned in replies to many reviews.
Hello, your software is not working at all, it keeps saying no connection, and try again in a few minutes! Please can you fix this issue? I will end my subscription if not resolved & demand my money back!
It doesn't connect. I uninstalled the app, restarted my phone (S6 Edge), reinstalled the app. It didn't work. I'm in Romania. I let the optimal server. The connection was weak, but good enough to watch Youtube, for example. When the connection is strong, it works.
Lately Internet doesn't connect or too slow through this app. It's not worth buying it. Tried all servers, but no difference.
I am using avast antivirus since 2010. I am recently used secure line vpn in my pc with free trial. That is very nice. But you din't give the free trial for android secure line vpn.
Give this to friends and family who keep asking how do you do this and how do you do that. Instead of telling them it's MAGIC anymore and realising that they are in 1st grade. And know much more than you who got a computer science degree in the 90s. Show's how much a geek/dork I am when my niece's and nephews are my best friend's. YES 90% are over 21. So great VPN lets me in everywhere .
The app keeps shutting off periodically and won't even turn on unless there is a strong internet connection. Sometimes with a weak connection I keep getting an error occurred message.
That bug with overlays is super annoying, c'mon gang. But now I hate that there's always a notification in the drop down menu. That key icon is fine, but I'd really like the option to turn off the screenspace hog
It was working fine. But now I have two instances, one of them says I am connected but the other one says that I'm not protected. And the result is none of the apps can go online.
So i really do love avast products and hate to give u all 1 star; however, it dose not work anymore it wont let me connect to the internet when enabled on my Galaxy J3 6 plz fix then i re-download and rate 5 stars
Will cancel as soon as I give my review. Screws my internet connection. Slow or won't connect online. Purchased in October. What a rip-off.
