5 ★ I love all of the AVAST products/apps. Its a super good security and for free even. Ive not come accrossed another product that protects,cleans junk,tests security,lets u know who all is connected to wifi ur on, and so much more. I absolutely LOVE AVAST products and would definately recommend and encourage people to try them out. U will not be disappointed!!!! AWESOME and then some.
3 ★ It disagrees with your desktop app. Avast on my PC says my router has a weak password. This app says the same router has a strong password. How can this be the case? Surely both programmes shoukd be using tge same criteria?
3 ★ Gives you the unnecessary notification that your home wifi may be risky daily. Too many adds in app plus Avast need to offer a full service - one price for all mobile apps (and nothing too expensive as although they are nice apps to have they aren't necessary) additionally one price for desktop and mobile versions?
3 ★ A solidly useful wifi utility, but with shortfalls. My major complaint is that the feature for displaying the current wifi connection as a notification in the status bar would be great, if it updated immediately consistently. It doesn't. I often have to reopen the Avast.l app to get it to update that displayed name after changing the connection elsewhere on my phone.
5 ★ Just a problem that if solved every thing is ok. "Speed test" and "security test" and other tools just worked in wifi enabled mode! If these tools can be used with other connections then every thing is ok.
3 ★ Seems to run slow, and not sense other WiFi in close proximity. Constantly says my WiFi at risk then after test it's ok. Constantly wants to run a speed test. Not very useful with other WiFi networks.
4 ★ I live in an area with very bad signal. This has helped some. Without it I have to either go outside or stand in a window the whole time I am using the phone. At least I can set down now. Thanks
1 ★ Pure advertising GARBAGE. Not useful at all.....tells me of networks that ate private and known. It should only be showing public, unlocked networks. The ads are straight out of Google junk mail program. Will uninstall....decide for yourself. Spyware and data miner at best¡
1 ★ If you're normal and have some kind if smartphone then you'll know you don't need apps like these. Phones automatically find WiFi and don't need apps to help... I personally don't understand the meaning of these kinds of apps.
5 ★ Does the job perfect. No matter if Avast for PC or Android, both are genial ! Eastern Europe (well, Avast home country is Central E rather :) rulez ! Ahoy !
2 ★ After many attempts to use this app, it only picks up around 50% of available wifi hot spots that other apps can find. The number of ads is extremely annoying and makes it difficult to use this app easily. Very frustrating.
3 ★ Doesn't show all devices connected to Wi-Fi and doesn't show all available Wi-Fi networks so... I was expecting more from Avast
2 ★ I am on 8mb download and the speed test says I am getting 13mb my upload is 480kb and the speed test says 6mb. Something seriously wrong with this app
5 ★ Advise purchasing $6.95 for a year. If you purchase add free it's better. The adds are annoying, however the general apps are really well done the job Avast does works awesome for my security needs.
1 ★ Severely ad-riddled adware that injects ads WITHIN its functions. Dangerous: some ads do INSTALLS!. "Simply turn on the [app] ..." but this app loads on OS startup (cached background process). Always running until terminated due to low memory constraint (unless use sticky option to occupy a notification slot), uses GPS. so drains the battery. Speed and security check options on first/every connect do not work. Cannot download hotspot database (for offline use) to SD card. Help is worthless (no articles). No feedback option.
