## Bitdefender Mobile Security Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Worst Antivirus Imaginable"
While I thought they were protecting my MacBook, they were actually hacking my data and making it public. DO NOT BUY!
-- BinxTheMinx888, 2024-12-06

### ***-- "Power hungry"
Like the app but as previous comments indicated, it really drain the battery of the phone. Maybe you get a solution for this problem, don’t like to charge the phone 2 x times a day.
-- Kalahari Surfer, 2023-03-31

### **--- "Kills my battery life"
I love bitdefender and have it installed a cross all my devices. It is however killing my battery life on my iPhone 13 pro max and had to uninstall it again for a 2nd time in 3 months. Hopefully the devs can figure out the problem soon.
-- juba1988, 2022-08-22

### ***-- "To download or Not??"
I’m pretty sure this is one of the best apps as I also use it for my macbook. However, it drains my iPhone 11 battery to the extent I decided to rather uninstall the app. To give you an idea, 77% of my battery usage was due to this app. Unless the creators can improve this problem, I don’t foresee myself downloading it again.
-- xArcAngelx, 2022-04-20

### *---- "Breaks my iOS devices"
Forces you to use the Bitdefender VPN. If you don’t, the apps features don’t work. If you do, it buggers up your networking and access to the internet. No good. Had to uninstall the app and reset my network setting to get my device to function as before.
-- Disappointed. Custer, 2020-03-30

### *---- "Greed is going to destroy Bitdefender"
As a loyal supporter of Bitdefender, I am highly disgusted with the new update of the Mobile Security App. Already a paying customer for years of Bitdefender Total Security and now they just want more and more money.
After the latest update of Mobile Security, suddenly the Web Protection feature is no longer included and comes with a ugly subscription fee.
Also, Anti Theft will be decommissioned?!
Nice, so what is their motto? Let's charge our customers more money and give them less features at the same time???

NOT a happy customer anymore!!! 👎👎👎
-- SMuso1, 2019-12-03

### ***** "Best antivirus software ever"
This is the best antivirus which offers the best interactive opportunity to the user. 

I appreciate the option that allows protection to about ten gadgets or more. 

I also migrated from my previous software due to its restricted internet access to me and was not user friendly.

I will always put my trust to this antivirus for all my gadgets!
