    Update breaks functionality. Even removing the app and reinstalling it fails during VPN configuration.
  • Too many useless notifications

    Good app, but it really likes to have useless notifications because it seems to like attention. Probably raise the number of stars if the notifications were useful.
  • Worst app ever

    It won’t let me use it because it made me do a 1 month free trial and it’s the most non useful app ever made! DON’T DOWNLOAD if you’re wanting an free one

    I constantly have to setup this app and profile. It’s done this on two phones, so I am fairly certain it’s not the phone. Why should i pay for this service when the app never works for me?

    I never make replies but guys don’t get this. In order to sign in I had to sign in to Microsoft I had to download this stupid app. For one this app creates security risk. DONT DOWNLOAD. Before I couldn’t get rid of my account because it was difficult sign in it wouldn’t let me continue… The only thing it would let me continue with was a stupid free trial then a payment for 10 dollars. It consumes your battery steals your cellular data. There is no telling what information this app took from me. I was wondering why it had only 13k reviews….because ppl know what catastrophe this stupid “defender” app is. I would give them no stars if it would let me. Waste of time.

    Here’s a problem. When designers decide that there is only one path to using their app, and when you choose to “skip” something they think is necessary (because they get a kickback or have some other arrangement with a “partner”), they just nag you to death about it. I have a paid Experian subscription. It isn’t under my Microsoft ID. And it never will be. I don’t need Microsoft’s “free version.” But if you don’t set it up, the little red dot telling you that you have notifications will never go away. Which means you get in the habit of ignoring it. And then when a REAL notification comes along - well, you might miss it. When a user clicks “skip” that should be it. Maybe confirm “are you sure you want to skip?” And if they say yes then inform that “you can always come back and set up later.” And then nothing else. No constant “notification icon” that you can’t clear because you ALREADY HAVE THE SERVICE and don’t need Microsoft’s “free version.” I’ll give it six months. And if the notification is still there, I’ll delete the app. There are plenty of other options out there. But I went with Defender because I use it on my PCs and have for years. And I’ve NEVER been hacked or successfully attacked. It just works. But there’s no need to tie in “partner” processes and “require” them in order to “successfully complete setup.” Don’t be a Donald. Give the people what they need. Not what you want to give them. And for those of us with Experian accounts who don’t use their Microsoft ID for Experian, allow us to ACTUALLY skip the Experian/Defender integration. After all, defender is about defending my phone. Experian is about defending my credit. They really shouldn’t be mixed.
