User Reviews

Reviews are mixed: many praise AVG Secure Browser for speed, security, and features like VPN. However, a significant recurring set of problems hurts usability: the app often won't launch or connects poorly, it crashes and sometimes interferes with its device-wide VPN, and subscription/billing issues cause activation errors and refunds headaches. Some users also report sign-in loops and intrusive UI elements. Overall, performance and features are valued by some, but reliability and account handling are common pain points.

Pros

Very fast browsing speed
Strong security and protection
VPN feature is useful
Simple/easy to use
Generally works well for many users

Cons

Launch failures and the app sometimes doesn't open
Stability issues: frequent crashes and VPN turning off
Billing/subscription activation problems and refund frustration
Sign-in/login loops prevent operation
UI/UX glitches such as intrusive top-page and address bar editing problems

Recent reviews

So many apps granting their own permissions and adust settings. There is a problem living in the background of my device and they wont leave. All Boost apps and anything Google or Samsung are the devil in disguise including this app as they use it to gain access to text messaging and my phone app in the background for nefarious purposes only

Not getting started on my device, only displaying initialising screen

I'm not sure if this version catches much. My mail gets many ads and some that take time finding a way to close them. I'd like to know why my VPN keeps shutting down! I run the cleaner 4-5 times weekly...when Should the browser turn On?
