What users are saying

1. Today I tried one more time to install and it is working perfectly now! Feels good to have this up and running on my phone again; have been using Webroot on all my computers for years without issue.I have been using SecureAnywhere by Webroot for many years.

2. Now that (along with a few other options that I can't remember) are gone & we're just left with a click to scan button that doesn't work offline, that now won't even work on my new phone.This was once a great app that I've used for years, but all that changed with my 2021 to 2022 renewal.

3. This will be the last.For some time, I was using Webroot Mobile Security for my Android phone.

4. Not an update issue, this has been consistent for a long time.I'm a long time Webroot user and have always been satisfied with the functionality of their products.

5. I was finally able to contact the company after several attempts via phone and email and finally able to update and install the new version.

6. The renewal download is not user friendly, and the app for my Android mobile changed completely to a scan only option offering no information as is available on my desktop.

7. For the last 4 months, I have had to uninstall, reboot phone, download, install, and log-in two to five times per week.

8. Please give us the old one back!!I've had webroot secure anywhere on computers and smartphone for 8 years.

9. However, this new revamped update to Webroot is absolute garbage.

10. The "changes" to the mobile app turned it into a browser with "scan" button in it.

11. However Webroot has no problems recognizing me for that annual renewal fee.
