AVG Secure Browser

Wasted my money. Paid for the subscription but when I login I get promoted to upgrade because my account shows no active subscription. Not paying twice for it to see if I can get it to work. Now I have a 1 year subscription that doesn't show as active in the app. It said there was a day free trial but apparently I wasn't eligible for that either...what a racket. Would love a refund or to actually get what I paid for.

unfortunately has become unusable... typing text in address/search bar, cannot see what has been typed, the bar doesn't expand to an expanded view allowing easy review & editing of the text string entered, can't easily edit the text or url from the far right end of the text string... difficult to describe problem, it's the 1st time I've encountered this issue with ANY browser... I experience the issue with messaging apps having a small "window" to enter and review a text message to be sent.

My VPN got switched and it went from decent, if a tad slow, to horrible. I cannot switch it back. It won't often download sites properly - they show up in a form that reminds me of sites that were garbled up in bad loading during the 2000s. Sometimes the site will not load at all. Refreshing the browser doesn't work to solve the problem either. There is no way I can do my shopping or pay bills with something like this and expect things to be ok.

As far as the browser itself goes, I love it! It gives me flexibility to set things up the way I want them, not the way Google or whoever wants them to be. So far AVG has made me feel very secure with all of their helpful tools, not just the browser. The ads, on the other hand, which you get stuck with if you can't afford to buy their premium packages, are filthy pics of half naked women and scams for everything you can think of, so don't assume the ads are safe just cause AVG's software is.

I would give this app 5 stars, BUT it is terrible when it comes to downloading things! Whenever I download something, the item goes to a hidden media vault that is difficult to access. I have had trouble with this for the last 2 days! Then when I find what I am looking for, the vault will not let me save to another location. I am going to start using another browser (not AVG) for downloading!

Pretty good internet browser. Found my Chrome, Firefox, and Samsung bookmarks. Does not play well with Google and has an annoying "This browser is not the default browser, Click Here" button on its home screen. Also, does not have an option to select another home screen. I have been using it to increase my confidence level. UPDATE: Found a way to select a home page which helps (and which improves it over Firefox which requires a sign in a sync delay prior to being able to customize the home page. Found that I needed to delete all cookies, cache files, etc. a couple of days after using it to prevent slowdown. I have been wondering about add-ons and other tweaks to improve my personal experience.

So far this browser blows away Firefox. Trying to use a secure browser as rock solid as the Tor Network without having to use the Tor Network. This is most definitely the closest browser I have found. It has the search features of Google and the security features of Samsung. It's a underrated browser. Pay the $9 a year, it's a no brainer. VPN, Custom Modes, etc. No need for adding plugs and or extensions when they are already part of the browser? You just need to arrange it the way you want it.

Absolutely awful! Have used it on two separate phones from different brands and same issue. Works fine at first, then it randomly starts dropping connections to sites in the middle of browsing. And now it won't connect to any at all! I guess the best way to ensure Internet security is never being allowed on it in the first place!

Awesome crawler, protects against anything, like wearing a condom for the net! The ads are smaller now, so that's good. The VPN is easy to use, and for me, it works better than surfsharks. All AVG's software can be relied on to simply work, without constantly nagging you with pop-ups. For me, it's the first thing I install on anything that hits the net!

Horrible browser, I bought one year's subscription. I had to uninstall it due to rising temperature of my phone day by day. My phone use to get so hot that I couldn't hold it. It is use less on android devices. It refreshes constantly and uses background data, which damages the device. As soon I uninstalled it after one and half month, my phone's temperature went down within 10 minutes. I would never recommend it

After downloading this browser and using it to view a few pages, I closed it. Now, after starting it again, when I touch the screen of the last viewed page (reloaded), the app "retreats" into the background, and I'm thrown back to the Android home screen. The AVG browser is still shown as active, but when I bring it forward again, the same thing happens … over and over. I don't even have the opportunity to enter a URL. :-(

I thought that this would be a great application, but I've had to recertify the activated even downloaded it and paid for it several times because it kept thinking that it was an unpurchased item. There seems to be A LOT in this application and I for one will be complaining about it to try and get my money back or at least reallocated within the same company. Good luck to anybody else that downloads this application, though!

I purchased this app a month ago. Worked fine at the beginning, however, few days ago the app stopped connecting with the server. Tried Uninstall/reinstall but this time couldn't restore my purchases despite all my trials. Have sent more than 10 follow up emails to the app customer service without any solution. I would give the app 0 stars, but unfortunately it's not an option. Stay away from it!!

UPDATE: 12-21-2025 The customer service is terrible. I've been giving the runaround-loop. I am extremely disappointed with this situation 😕 12-13-2025 APP won't open because it wants me to INSTALL it. When I try to "install," it says, "already installed, open the APP." I've tried to uninstall and then install it again. it then says, "OPEN" the APP. Then it won't OPEN, because it wants me to INSTALL the APP. 🙄🙄🙄 🤯🤯🤯 MADDENING ‼️😡

Very irritating. 1) I keep some websites open and no matter what page the site was closed on, it always goes back to a different page, one I haven't looked at for weeks. 2) Links in emails and WhatsApp don't open. The screen flashes, then nothing happens. I have to copy the link and paste it into my browser myself. 3) At certain times, the app decides that it won't open any sites at all for "security", when I had them open a couple of hours earlier. I'm going back to Chrome.

It took a bit to figure out where bookmarks were but I live this app now. The only thing I miss is searching from a highlighted word but other browser list that ability as well. Maybe I accidentally shut the option off. Great app and I plan to pay for a yr once I get my new fone activated this week.

I received excellent customer support after having problems with initial install, which was very impressive from AVG. The browser seems great, the one thing I'd really like (which seemingly isn't feasible yet) is for the ad-blocker to work with YouTube. Presently, YouTube is a pointless waste of time on mobile devices due to the constant intrusion of utterly vile advertising.

I liked the App enough to purchase the Pro version of it. But after doing that the app is still showing I'm using the free version. I've contacted them and still have not got a reply. Very disappointing. Just an update it's been one month and they have yet to resolve the issue I'm having. I would not recommend this browser. Don't waste your data for the download.

+UPDATE: 10/7 I use the private browser tab never stays consistent. A great browser w/VPNi if you don't want to access the Net. It's really just that simple and ridiculous. I downloaded again to see if maybe my android system was at fault. No. I did get on the net. I closed the browser and when I returned I couldn't get on. Whether the VPN is on or off. The AVG Adblock is on or off. It doesn't matter. Totally unreliable. Why would anyone "upgrade" $ , when the free version is worth every penny?

It's an excellent browser it's got great security but you get tricked into buying more and more and more singular niche products they sell that should come in the browser ultimate self when you buy it but they nickel and dime you by piecemealing different functions and features in the browser and all the other parts maybe screwed mine up charged me $100 and then gave it to me for 13 for a year but I still can't get half of the program to work So I'm playing with some more and messing it up lol
