User reviews

Emsisoft Mobile Security is praised for its strong, Bitdefender-based antivirus engine, lightweight nature, and user-friendly interface, offering robust protection without affecting device performance. However, common concerns include the mandatory Google account sign-in, absence of in-app premium purchase options, difficulties uninstalling after license expiry, lack of centralized management integration, and worries about extensive app permissions impacting data privacy.

Pros

Effective antivirus engine (Bitdefender-powered) providing strong protection against malicious apps and threats.
Lightweight app that does not drain battery or cause slowdowns.
Clean and user-friendly interface.
Preferred by users valuing privacy compared to some other security apps.
Good behavior/behavioral scanning capabilities that catch threats missed by larger brands.

Cons

Mandatory Google account login for app usage, which many users distrust and dislike.
Lack of integration with Emsisoft Management Console for centralized control.
No option within the app to purchase premium licenses; confusing purchasing process.
Issues with uninstalling or deactivating the app after license expiry.
Multiple app permissions raising concerns about data privacy and security among users.

It's great but unnecessary for me at least. It's really nice but I just don't see why I need antivirus on Android when Android, especially on my Pixel, is very secure and I update my phone and all its apps all the time. There are so many protections in place already on my Pixel that I can't justify the hit on my battery life. For just 10 bucks though, not bad, but I uninstalled it to save resources on my phone.

Works well, and a nice clean interface. My only complaint is that I can't add this to my Emsisoft Management Console. This is a real miss, as a single management location would be very useful.
