Recent reviews

The location feature is more or less useless. It doesn't update for hours, even on a cell phone with good signal and hitting "locate now" repeatedly. It also, for some reason, does not remember the device chosen for location no matter how many times you select it options. Many features are limited or not available on all operating systems.

Pixel 9 "Unable to register device" Used app on Samsung 10e. Replaced with pixel 9. Can add Norton 360 on new phone and added device to my account. However Norton Family fails on install with "Unable to register the device", even with all the right permissions. Norton support has nothing for this error and no option to actually contact support on website. Very frustrating. If Norton reads this, don't placate, provide actual help resolving issue. Android System 15.
