FEATURES & BENEFITS Wi-Fi Security •Creates a secure VPN connection for your device when you’re on public Wi-Fi hotspots & unsecured networks •Although 128-bit encryption should remain unbreakable in our lifetime, we opted for 256-bit bank-grade encryption to protect your online activities, visited sites & sensitive information from hackers & cybercriminals Ad Tracker Blocking •We keep you from being tracked by advertisers •Prevent ads from being generated in your downloaded apps Our App Contains No Ads •Enjoy an ad-free app environment on us You can continue using this app for free for as long as you like, but getting a McAfee Safe Connect PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION will get you: •No more monthly usage cap of 250 MB •Ad Tracker Blocking •Protection for up to 5 total devices •24x7 customer support McAfee Safe Connect PREMIUM Info: - 7 day free trial - free of charge; no commitment; cancel anytime - Your payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase - Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period - Length of subscription: monthly or yearly - Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal - Price of subscription: one month - 7.99 dollars; one year – 47.99 dollars - Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase - No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period - Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication When to Use McAfee Safe Connect? We suggest you keep McAfee Safe Connect Wi-Fi protection turned ON to minimize your online security risks & keep your data safe from prying eyes. Unlike home Wi-Fi, the vast majority of public Wi-Fi hotspots aren’t password-protected & don't encrypt the data being transmitted. When you connect to a hotspot, your online activities – from social media content to bank account credentials – may become vulnerable to hackers. With McAfee Safe Connect Secure VPN, your internet privacy & Wi-Fi security are protected. Got questions or feedback? You can reach us at Mobile_Support@McAfee.com We look forward to hearing from you. Privacy Policy: https://www.mcafee.com/us/about/legal/privacy.aspx

McAfee charging me twice to use their product
12/31/2018

dhillen
First I installed McAfee safe connect on my PC $7.99 a month for up to 5 devices. Downloaded the McAfee safe connect on my IPhone and used my user name and password I created for my PC everything worked great. The iPhone app updated and after the update the app wouldn't except my user name and password and was charged another $7.99 for the month on my iPhone. I now have it on my PC and Phone and I'm being charged 7.99 a month for each one. I'll be removing it from my phone after this review.After contacting McAfee customer service we got to the bottom of the problem and all is good so I changed my rating from 1 star to 5 star as I never had a problem with the product per se as it's easy to use and works as advertised.

What a hassle

Is it normal that I have to Start the app every time I lay phone down, this occurs all day. Safe Connect is off, constantly. What about the red shield VPN they cannot be used together but what is ll all this about. It’s crazy. Let’s get this fixed. Very difficult to get thru on phone. I will say your techs are 1st class in every way, you just need more. Mike Conzemius Well after my complaint it has been working as it should. Automatic on when using Wi-Fi so I have no complaint. I have no idea why it suddenly works. Thank youSafe connect has failed again for the last few days I have to manually reinstall it. If this persists I am cancelling auto renew.Mike

Software switches my email

This has been very frustrating. The email I use and set up with businesses I have noticed is being forwarded to my iCloud email. The businesses I have noticed without my permission or request change my settings to the iCloud email. At first I couldn’t figure out what was happening, I was even told by one business that my correct email was not on their system. I even contacted Apple support. Plus I was notified when an upgrade was done and that took time to figure out how to fix. Great time of year to feel unsafe. Then, only 250mgs are used for an entire month, you have to upgrade. I paid for an entire year last May, now all these changes have been implemented which is different than what I paid for. If I end early, I doubt they would refund me for the 1/2 year I didn’t use.??

WOW Such Customer Service!

If you are a creative person you know your genius most often arrives at ungodly hours in the morning, when all is quiet and still. I’m a writer and narrator and my “bewitching hour” most often exist between midnight and 3:00am.That time frame runs counter to conventional customer service departments, however recently I switched my services from another national provider to McAfee and was amazed at the availability and quality of excellent, concerned, professional service.In the New Digital World it’s very smart business to position your services to accommodate your upscale clientele. McAfee does this Well and Consistently. Bravo!
