I’ve used Webroot as my antivirus for about 4 years on my desktop so thought I might install on phone since the license allows for multiple devices. Sadly this is NOT an antivirus app. It’s a standalone browser and one with a privacy notice that takes you to….Google chrome’s. What this means is that this is likely nothing more than a skinned chrome browser. This should have been stated by the dev clearly. Deleting.

I have a subscription with Webroot for my laptop and have appreciated the security they provide. I was looking forward to the fact that I could use this protection on my cell phone as well, especially since cell phones have become a big part of everyday life. I spend the last hour or so trying to get Webroot coverage on my phone. I couldn’t even get an email to come through with a link to reset my password and give me my security code so that I could simply LOG ON to the app. I did get one email to come through, instructions on how to download Webroot to my PC or Mac. I saw all the negative reviews (which I can now vouch for) but since I am still in the middle of the subscription that is protecting my laptop like a champ, I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, because I do so much browsing, sometimes shopping online, and am often connected to WiFi in public places , I need my phone to be protected. So unless Webroot is able to fix these big problems so that those of us who are paying for services they are not fully providing before I have to renew my subscription, I’m probably going to have to look for different anti-virus protection.

My log in works on my laptop but I am in a vicious loop on my iPhone. I’m told to reset password and log in. Then I’m told my password is no good. Ugh!

Quickly, the most recent reviews displayed are from 3 years ago. And any others more recently reek of paid-for reviews on the behalves of individuals who have never used this software. Do not entrust your mobile security to this company. Their software is a façade. There has been no update as per Apple’s new privacy guidelines, and this company is quite literally the worst laggard when it comes to making their software work with the latest OS. Example: the MacOS Catalina version of their “software.” As a quick update, if I could give this app less than 0 stars, I would. Webroot’s response to my review is case-in-point. That was not an opportunity for you to question whether or not I was correct in recognizing that this app is based on Chromium - aka at least 98% another company’s code. Along with that, this “malware” detection is not actually malware detection. It is a static (as in completely unable to provide real time protection) set of URLs that have been marked as malicious by a 3rd party service, and they are only updated with the app itself. This provides absolutely zero “real-time” malware protection, nor does it do - once again - anything that chromium doesn’t do on its own. Ditch this company and all of its software. This app does absolutely nothing. It is Google Chrome with Webroot (now OpenText) branding. Chrome provides the exact same set of functionality - including “safe browsing.” Case in point - the last picture of this app is verbatim the stock multi-tab feature that Chrome offers out of the box. Do not waste your money, as their other products seem to mirror this façade of actual functionality.

The Webroot app will not allow me to enter my email address, so I cannot log in and use it. I can log into my account using a laptop computer, so I know the account works.
