Happy with the app but one major issue
03/25/2023

I signed up for a subscription the The app does everything it says it does and I was very happy with it until I had an issue with it accessing my Wi-Fi at home. it wouldn’t allow my laptop tablet cell phone or desktop to connect to my Wi-Fi. I thought it was a service provider problem they sent a tech out and after a couple of hours of troubleshooting asked me if I had a VPN I said yes he said that’s the problem deactivate it so I did and everything started working again. The tech guy told me to only use VPN when you’re traveling and trying to connect with public network. I thought the whole purpose of the app was to give you security when you’re on your own net work I guess not. if this is a bug with the app it needs to be addressed. otherwise I will probably cancel the subscription.

Fails at its purpose, continues to charge you after uninstall

This is supposed to be one of those all in one VPN, firewall, ad blocker apps with visual read outs and graphs of its effectiveness. For the service they charge you a yearly subscription fee. The most important service this would provide is the VPN or virtual private network which protects her phone from sniffing attacks, oppressive government‘s and snooping Internet service providers.Unfortunately,The app over reports it’s effectiveness using data and graphs and yet none of the services offered are very well-maintained or produce a very good outcome. the VPNs often not engaged, the ad blocker doesn’t block many ads. When you have problems, contacting tech-support is near impossible. When you decide this isn’t worth it, it is near impossible to cancel your subscription. The subscription is not through Apple’s subscription manager so it’s nearly impossible to cancel the reoccurring payment to them. We’ve seen this type of app many times before committing to reoccurring payments is easy, using the app not very easy, canceling the payment not very easy. Ultimately bad business practices and bad performance are often equated as “a scam”. If you need a VPN there are much better options out there for much less money

Total Av is impossible to get rid of. I downloaded the App, but prior to signing up I found another app i liked so i deleted this one. Total Av decided to start charging me a monthly fee, despite deleting the app. despite never having signed up. Several times i have reached out trying to cancel this company from stealing my money and each time they admit that i have no account. They still try and charge me because they are crooks. just recently i decided to block them from ever being able to charge me because although they themselves admit i have no account they still feel entitled to charge me every month. i’ve tried to reach out by email because i still get notifications that they’re attempted charges have been blocked and they just recently decided to block me from emailing as well. do not do business with this company. don’t even download their app. this is a scam. i’ve reported them to the better business bureau. there is nothing that can be done from my standpoint that i haven’t done. Total AV is an absolute nightmare they are the most unprofessional disgraceful company I’ve come across. Avoid at all costs.

Froze my IPhone

I began having strange issues with my phone almost felt like someone else had control. Started with my music app cutting off shortly after it came on. I would get message phone is currently off line. I was confused because I always listen to my downloads on phone. Then a few days later every search on Google would buffer then finally time out. By the end my phone was not functioning correctly and I may have to get a new phone. I took to batteries Inc and told the guy my issues. He wanted to reboot but my phone but my phone wouldn’t connect. I told him I have the totalAV connected and the VPN just keeps buffering connecting. I asked him to remove the Total AV. And thank god after he removed the program I had no more problems. I was not ready to learn a new phone. One thing I recognized was their customer service is poor. You’re unable to speak with an actual person much less email. I will not be renewing the current security program and you should reconsider especially if you’re not tech savey.
