Description
Why iPhones deserve Avira?
We’re a multi-award-winning German security company with +30 years of experience and a global vision: To keep people connected and secure in our digital world.
Avira loves iPhones. Your phone is state-of-the-art—give it privacy and security to match:
• Care about your Privacy? Keep your data safe and your online activity anonymous with our Free VPN
• Email leaked? Find out fast with Identity Safeguard
• Browsing online? Web Protection checks the safety of sites first
Avira Mobile Security protects your phone:
• VPN: Secure your connection with a simple push of a button for complete privacy as you surf. When you use our VPN, all your data goes through a secure connection—so it can’t be intercepted or stolen. Plus, we use military-grade encryption to keep your data extra safe. The auto-secure function detects if your WiFi network is untrusted, and we promise our servers don’t save your log files.
• Web Protection: Like online shopping and banking? Do you store your credit card details online? This categorizes and blocks phishing, malware, spam, and fraud so you can browse freely and safely.
• Identity Safeguard: Find out if your email addresses have been hacked. Schedule the frequency (once a day/week/month), and we’ll automatically scan your email, and those of your contacts, to check whether they were leaked online in a security breach.
• Call Blocker: Create your own blacklist and block spam and other unwanted calls and texts.
• Contacts Backup: Easily back up and restore contacts straight from your phone and send them to your email, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
Avira Mobile Security lets nothing stand in the way of your iPhone’s awesomeness:
• Device Analyzer: View your iPhone’s use of storage and memory to see where you can make gains.
Avira Mobile Security keeps everything you do between you and your iPhone:

Ratings and Reviews
Buggy (paid for version) VPN not working corrected after reinstall
The free version’s good, as in: sufficient, enough. Paid version grants too much access to Avira, which is the crux of security software in gen. (Updated Jan 2021) - ... (previous comments 2020: mostly sorted by Avira) Verdict re purchased option to date: the free version is enough for iOS. - Bugs discovered so far: 1) ‘restoring purchase’ just keeps spinning ... 2) VPN does not kick in and keeps turning itself back off ... interference (!?) with their other VPN app (duh!? Only after uninstall with latest iOS and getting rid of their standalone VPN did it work) ... [3) do I really want to hand over all my data (address book and passwords) to an offsite/German company: Apple’s enough, methinks.] BUT: fix these niggles, and I might add another year’s worth of subscription ... bit more effort in writing for MacOS and iOS, please, esp. as your charging money, guys! - [Addendum post Avira-reply 26/7 Aug 2020: Thank you for your response! I gather it would also be an excellent idea to integrate in the Avira Security app unlimited VPN browsing with location check for an adequate, additional fee obviously. Kind regards - TDetDF]

We are aware of the points you were talking about and are already working on a fix for the restore purchase and VPN connectivity bug.
Regarding the data concerns, I do understand your thoughts.

Thank you for your understanding and loyalty.
Review
Has the basis of being an excellent product, but has some bugs. Although I paid for the Prime version it reverts back to the free version at startup. If you log out and log back in, it starts in Prime and then reverts to Free. If you set up another account with a different email address on the website this gets around this. Also, when installing it on an IPad with the same email address as an iPhone the search for lost phone keeps showing a red bar requesting you log into the website. This again is can be solved by making a new account and email address on the website. Also, I note that the website shows both the iPhone and IPad but states they have not been registered.
After further tests I have discovered the reason it will not register the purchase of a subscription from the App Store is that you have login to the App with you Apple ID. If you then login into the Avira website on a Mac, the subscription will be shown. It also fixes the lost phone problem
Very easy to use and reassuring
I am very impressed by how easy this is to use. It is also very fast and offers a wide range of options. I particularly like how it checks the iPad for functional problems and analyses memory. The photo checker can save lots of space, particularly useful when you only have 16gb
