Comments on PC Matic for Android

★★★★★ Cerise Duran · Sep 27, 2025

Years of perfect protection with PC Matic.

★★★★★ Deanna Ocampo-Davis · Jan 15, 2026

Easy to switch from old provider, better price, and easy to navigate adding to multiple devices (with purchase of multiple device license key) and my autistic teens could upload, install and access it to protect their devices as well. Love it, my geek gear advisor-- my brother, recommended it. ALSO LOVE THAT IT IS A USA COMPANY!!!

★★★★★ Terry Bailey · Aug 21, 2026

Keeps my phone virus free and running smoothly !!!

★★★★★ David Duke · Oct 31, 2025

When I went to purchase PCmatic, my phone had so many viruses it took me 45 minutes to get it bought and installed on my phone. But once it was installed, and I ran a scan, it cleared up the viruses immediately. I have no way to describe how frustrating those viruses were!! I would recommend PCmatic to anyone! Worth the price. 5 stars!!

★★★★☆ Kristin Putting · Oct 20, 2025

After I figured out how to get in the app/computer now it works like it suppose to. Clean out all the devices that you're not using anymore.

★☆☆☆☆ Denise S · Jul 16, 2025

I have limited options on this Android version. It doesn't automatically update the app. I have no Scam Blocking options either even though I'm paying for it. Every time I open it, it keeps asking for permissions. It's great on my PC but horrible on my Android phone. I've used Trend Micro and that offered lots of options but at a very high cost. I have no idea if this is even working on my phone. I may just uninstall this and go back to what actually works. I can't recommend this anymore.

Currently running s21 ultra. Program tells me unable to resolve host when signing in. Doing this for around a year, still waiting on an update to make it work. 😔

★☆☆☆☆ maria voljin · Sep 25, 2026

Very disappointed. Very hard to install and hard to start a scan. The app disappeared from my phone and ads for other virus protection invaded my phone and rended if useless. It took hours and hours to reinstall pcmatic. I still cannot schedule ac scan. Very scarry. Cannot log in. Cannot schedule a scan. Do not recommend

★★☆☆☆ Gary Reed · Jan 24, 2026

Over a year ago had paid subscription. Then when it lapsed I attempted to get backed in and couldn't. Login says it wasn't my email (And it is that which I entered). So I subscribed to another for a year. And now trying again. Help? IDK?
