## Review summary

Users praise Verizon Protect for its VPN and spam protection and easy interface, but updates have introduced significant VPN reliability issues and app bugs. Spam blocking is not consistently effective, and some users report interference with other apps like email. Overall, sentiment is mixed: strong positives when the VPN works, with notable reliability and usability concerns dragging down the experience.

### Pros

- Secure VPN feature is a valued security tool when it functions properly.
- Spam/caller protection reduces nuisance calls and provides peace of mind.
- Easy-to-use, intuitive interface.
- Responsive customer support and helpful agents.

### Cons

- VPN reliability and location masking deteriorates after updates; it often won’t stay on or masks location inconsistently (sometimes only on wifi).
- VPN interferes with other apps and services (e.g., email downloads or cellular data) when enabled.
- Frequent glitches and bugs hinder usability (refresh required, can't enter date of birth, etc.).
- Spam blocking is not consistently effective; users still report many scam calls.
