Phone Guardian Safe Mobile VPN Reviews

by Privacyprotecter123

This review will probably be at the bottom. Try it out and see if it works for your device. If not, DELETE IT ASAP. PhoneGuardianSafe messed with my phone. It was either PhoneGuardianSafe or another one, but it shut down some other major apps on my device. It drove me crazy trying to delete things using iCloud storage thinking it was that or my data. As soon as I deleted PhoneGuardianSafe and another one my apps it worked again. Now that I have done more research, it Was PhoneGuardianSafe that messed up my phone. It takes your information and makes certain useful apps unavailable. It does this under the radar and took me a week to finally figure it out. I have had PhoneGuardianSafe for about 1 in a half weeks. I really hope it works for you and that it is only me that has this problem. I also hope PhoneGuardianSafe may recognize this and be more honorable to their customers.

I just got a new iPhone for Christmas and wanted an app to protect my security. I put it off for a while and things were going smooth. One day though, I realized I needed one just to be safe so I downloaded it. Immediately stuff started going weird on my phone. WiFi and data stopped working, phone would glitch and a whole bunch of stuff too. I figured it was something else on my phone so I reset a bunch of apps and deleted them. (not thinking it could be the security app) I then realized after it not working time and time again, the only app left untouched was the security one. I deleted it and instantly my phone worked smoother. No problems whatsoever and I still haven’t had any. I don’t know what went wrong, but as a security app that has major flaws for the newer phones, it’s pretty bad. It could just be me, but I highly doubt it since everything went back to normal after. Sorry but would not recommend. 🙅🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Alright let’s get this out of the way, First, this isn’t a VPN a VPN Masks your IP. My IP was the exact Same thing when I checked it during the VPN. Second, Only thing it did was Make my Internet Slow when connected to it. Third, After Messing around with it and touching the Wolf Repeatedly out of Boredom knowing PhoneGuardianSafe doesn’t work, my IPad Reset itself Twice, and it Crashed. This is the only app that made my tablet do such a thing. There are Better VPNs, (Ones that actually are VPNs) out there don’t let the Fake Reviews and Bots tell you this VPN is Working. Also the UI Reminds me of Bonzi Buddy for some Reason, not anything negative but just a side note.

To Developers: Be Honest with your Product Next Time Please. If you can make this a REAL VPN and Fix the Bugs and Crashes that would be nice but I know developers won’t take notice from a Person like me. No I won’t email you guys about my Issue because I’m not going to waste my time. I said everything here for you guys to investigate it.

I’ve submitted 3 recent emails to Phone Guardian to discuss my dismay over their decision to no longer block ads or tracker ads. Since the latest update, every app I use has ads galore “everywhere” and I was a once HUGE FAN that referred family & friends to use the Phone Guardian app. All of my recent emails have not been responded yet from Phone Guardian, although I received automated sent emails stating they would contact me to discuss my questions. I have loved this wonderful free app, until their decision to allow ads/tracker ads to return. It’s a blooming nightmare the amount of phishing emails I’ve received the past couple of weeks, including blackmailers demanding bitcoin payment to not hack my accounts, after they provided one of my private computer passwords & warnings that changing my password will not help. PLEASE PHONE GUARDIAN PUT THE AD/TRACKER AD BLOCKER BACK. If not, then I will have to resort to finding an alternative app to protect my phone and get rid of these numerous hideous ads.

So, nothing against PhoneGuardianSafe or its developer/owner, but I am seeking a security app to ensure my information isn't collected and shared with 3rd parties. Like many, I don't want the websites I visit, apps I use or the location I am at, readily available to anyone other than myself. If you read the fine print, you will learn that while they are upfront about it, The company Distimo, who makes PhoneGuardianSafe, owns any information you give them, including the primary 3 listed in a previous sentence of this review. More than likely not a big thing, but they're offering an app at no cost, with no ads. There had to be a catch. So if you're truly looking to be " under the radar", read the fine print and then make the call....
As for me, I have deleted PhoneGuardianSafe and don't plan to use it. But I gave them a 3, because the reviews are all Favorable and I didn't want to bring them down too much for something I am bothered by. Form your own beliefs.

To explain my situation, ever since I installed this VPN, my phone has entirely depended on it being on. What I mean by this is, whenever I turn off the VPN, my phone will not let me use the internet or anything that would require some form of internet connection to function. Not with my LTE connection, or even my own WiFi connection, no matter how strong said connection is. To be honest, I’ve been considering on deleting PhoneGuardianSafe, mainly cause I’m still not aware of what it’s protecting me against exactly, but I’m afraid to do so since it could very well jeopardize my phone, since I need the VPN to actually use my phone’s internet-related features, and deleting it would make PhoneGuardianSafe Store useless, rendering my entire phone useless with anything internet-related.

It’s a great app, for giving you a free VPN. However, after I got PhoneGuardianSafe , I began having issues with my WiFi. I would go into my settings to join the network, it would say I’m connected, but I wasn’t actually connected. (And yes, I did tell PhoneGuardianSafe that it was a network I could trust.) The first time this happened, I ended up having to do something to my WiFi box, forcing the whole house to disconnect and I got into an argument with my brother over Fortnite. It kept happening, so I ended up looking it up. It told me to try disconnecting from my VPN, so I went into PhoneGuardianSafe . I tried searching everywhere I could think to disconnect; I was pretty much forced to delete PhoneGuardianSafe . And wouldn’t you know it, I went into my settings, tried to connect to WiFi, and bam! Not sure if it was an issue with PhoneGuardianSafe itself, or I just unknowingly did something inside PhoneGuardianSafe that caused that to happen. Wanted to share this either way, in the case that someone else was experiencing the same problem as me.

Like many others I’m not 100% on PhoneGuardianSafe. Downloaded it a few years ago and tbh didn’t see a change or anything. Now that I’m older yeah ok it helped. Younger me didn’t not know that pop ads on a random website you went too were viruses and phone guardian made sure my phone was protected so yeah. My only thing is that I’m not even sure if this actually a vpn sence you don’t have to subscribe or anything or if who tooo care if that virus was apples ani virus protection. Another thing witch I don’t think it’s PhoneGuardianSafe it may have been my wifi sence this week has been good was my wifi, last week and the week before it wasn’t working good. Mind you I didn’t check phone guardian so there’s that. I also wanna say my tablet was acting weird so I downloaded phone guardian and will see how much it helped. I will stay with phone guardian doing for now as I can’t pay for a vpn. Great app just needs some minor work but overall if your looking for a vpn that will help block out virus and stuff I would get this. Dosnt not run down the battery so that’s good. Ty for reading

On average PhoneGuardianSafe will block at least, (and I strongly emphasize the at least) 10,000 intrusion attempts in a week. This week is a little higher because I’ve been outta the house more than usual, so right now I’m right around 19,700 blocked attempts.

My only gripe with PhoneGuardianSafe is this, (and it’s not even that major of a gripe), when restarting the iPhone X PhoneGuardianSafe won’t reconnect/reactivate the VPN and get back on your local WiFi. So if you aren’t paying attention at home/work, or wherever you usually rely on a WiFi signal, you will chew through your data. You have to go into settings, scroll down to the VPN slider/button, tap it, it attempts to turn off and then turns right back on and connects to the WiFi immediately. It’s my home network, I’ve told it to trust it many, many, many times to see if it takes care of it...but, it does not. That’s really it. Haven’t had any other issues, no issues with PhoneGuardianSafe interfering as far as blocking websites, app’s accessing the net, etc. Great app all around. And like I said, it gives you a little peace of mind while out n about searching the web for anything.

Overall I like PhoneGuardianSafe especially for free but it does have a few annoying issues. Mostly when I'm online trying to look things up. It won't allow pages to open even from previously visited sites and ones that are associated with my accounts so they are protected anyway. Sometimes it works fine other times it won't work at all until I shut PhoneGuardianSafe off. I've also had a slowness issue. My wifi has been noticeably slower since adding PhoneGuardianSafe and my battery drains extremely rapidly. Now since I'm typically in an area easily accessible to charging it hasn't caused me too much of a problem. The lagging is however annoying and I do find myself turning PhoneGuardianSafe off a lot, at home especially.

Overall from what I can tell PhoneGuardianSafe is serving it's purpose and when I'm not using my phone or only using it for texting and calling, it is still a good piece of mind to have.

With all the mobile security issues out there, I decided to install Phone Guardian and was very pleased with its performance until I tried to access my TD Bank mobile app. It appeared that PhoneGuardianSafe wasn’t working, returning an error message stating “we’re working on their problem”. Having experienced a glitch or 2 with TD before, I wasn’t terribly concerned, figuring the problem would be rectified shortly.

After about a week with the same issue, I thought to turn off the VPN in settings … TD still didn’t work. I called my local branch and the TD main CS number, but no issue had been reported. At that point, I decided to delete the VPN app, and when I did, the TD app started working again!

I don’t know if there’s a conflict with any other VPN app, but I can state that Phone Guardian won’t work with TD Mobile. I’ve sent a secure message to TDCS… let’s see if there’s a fix! Now I’m reporting the issue to you. I was really liking PhoneGuardianSafe until I found this conflict. Any ideas developers? My dog is named Max too! Fix it and I’ll give you 5 stars!

Alright, don’t get me wrong I really like PhoneGuardianSafe! It always tells me what it’s protecting, and it’s very easy and useful to use. However, I do have one problem. I understand why it would do this, but it took me a bit to figure out that PhoneGuardianSafe was the problem. So I connected to a wifi router, and it wasn’t very secured, so PhoneGuardianSafe wouldn’t let me use it. I was a little freaked out, seeming as I now had no way to check emails or anything because the cell service was really awful at the time. I opened PhoneGuardianSafe and clicked the stop protection, and the wifi suddenly worked again. I see why this problem happened, but maybe if it asked me to disable the wifi, it would’ve been better. Instead I spent 30 minutes trying to restart my router when I realized it was working fine for the rest of my family, so I stopped protection for a little and my phone let me connect to the wifi. A way to about this problem would be to just have it ask you if you want to risk your phone instead of just disabling the WiFi. Thank you for your time!

When I first installed PhoneGuardianSafe I don’t know what to and now I won’t have to worry about any hackers going on my phone PhoneGuardianSafe is really good too and also it will ask you questions like do you trust displays and if you click yes it says OK I’ll try my best to protect do you click no it won’t allow you to go on the place that has Wi-Fi and the dog is really cute too it doesn’t really good job protecting your phone it doesn’t let you down and also remove its tail and I cannot imagine myself without PhoneGuardianSafe ever never install PhoneGuardianSafe they were probably be viruses in my phone this is the best thing that has happened to me I really like PhoneGuardianSafe it’s really good the dog is really cute continue to trust Wi-Fi if you don’t want it to trust anymore just clicked on no option .

I used to get all kinds of pop ups when I was using the internet that I wasn’t able to exit out of. I’d be reading something and all of a sudden a spinning wheel would pop up with the message that I’d won something or other. The only way out was to close the window and start all over with a new internet search. It happened a few times a day. Since I installed PhoneGuardianSafe, no more crazy popups! Sometimes it blocks me from opening a page I really want to see, but all I have to do is pause PhoneGuardianSafe for an hour (there’s a button on PhoneGuardianSafe -very simple), look at what I need to look at, and I can either start the protection immediately or PhoneGuardianSafe will restart on its own after the time limit. Very good app and very effective!

This is a VPN app, for those who don't understand what or why you want this...just hang in. PhoneGuardianSafe I use for my mobile phone, VPN or virtual private network is an added layer for security, it blocks cookies from sites you don't authorize, it also switches your IP address - like the hackers do. It's a free or nominal charge & it does its work without bothering you. For anyone who shops, orders, etc, it's nice to know this works like it's supposed to. The last one I had couldn't update their app to the new IPHONE platform, just would have been nice to know that my VPN wasn't protecting me for about two weeks before I even knew. PhoneGuardianSafe was easier to set up, configure my personal options & it's up & running.
PHONE GUARDIAN DEVELOPERS, good job. Hoping you're communication skills are better than the last VPN I tried! Appreciate your work!

by BELLAMY9401

Does the job and explains how PhoneGuardianSafe works so you have the options of downgrading security level if preferred. I haven’t noticed any lag at all but if my internet does freeze all I have to do is turn PhoneGuardianSafe off then back on again as the instructions say to do. That works well. I have not found another app that works as well without paying a monthly fee. I don’t mind if PhoneGuardianSafe collects marketing data in order to offer the service to us at NO cost. PhoneGuardianSafe does a good job of explaining this and being upfront about it.

The only improvement at this time that I would suggest is that PhoneGuardianSafe not continue to ask me to rate it after I’ve already rated it.

Other than that I’m good and very pleased with the product.

It’s really nice to have PhoneGuardianSafe because it makes you feel more safe wherever you go. Today I got home and found out I had been protected from a hacker today thanks to max! It’s also a bonus that PhoneGuardianSafe is completely free unlike most. Not only does max protect you he also shows your online activity’s and what you have been on most. The only downside to PhoneGuardianSafe is that it waste your data.. but you can always turn your protection off. PhoneGuardianSafe also ask you if you can trust a network if you connect to WiFi. If you do max will be more off guard, if not he is ready to go! You should definitely download PhoneGuardianSafe. I give it 5 stars!!

I don’t really leave reviews but for this I did. The first time you download PhoneGuardianSafe it detects what internet your using it’ll ask if you trust it or not if you press no it will say I’ll keep extra eye out for this network. You swipe right or left and it says stop protection for a hour or how much you want. I use safari a lot and some websites have pop ups and you may press the ok button on accident you could go to PhoneGuardianSafe and it detects what you just pressed you could delete it or keep it. It shows what could’ve happened if you pressed ok. Download PhoneGuardianSafe it completely free and great and easy access!!

You guys are amazing I had so much fun but then someone tried to hack my phone but now since I have PhoneGuardianSafe they won’t be able to hack it I was also able to see the dog barking at them and chasing them out of my house it is so much fun that nobody can steal anything from my phone even though I have nothing that they may want they still only want it for their kids so I’m very glad that you have made PhoneGuardianSafe I said that I was only going to get this dog if it would protect me so maybe I am this is the best dog in my life thank you guys so much and this is Aria Alisa Lee Williams Henderson signing off

I downloaded PhoneGuardianSafe to try get some freedom from all the different companies on the internet uses to track activities while using the net and then they sell that information to other websites. Which really urkes me I found PhoneGuardianSafe for Phone Guardian and I thought I would try it and see if it does what they promised.
I truly happy with is app. Does everything it says it will do and things they don’t tell you in their ad. It blocks thousands of trackers and malware and keeps all that garbage that websites tries to use to profile us. And try to swamp us with stuff we don’t want.
And I open some websites the VPN that is part of PhoneGuardianSafe will warn me about them and ask me I really want to use that website. It has saved a lot

I’ve spoken with an Apple support technician and we’ve narrowed down my problem to a feature in PhoneGuardianSafe. I am no longer able to send #images in text messages or iMessages when Phone Guardian is on and protecting. However, when I turn it off I am able to send the images. I had no problem with sending the #images until a few weeks ago when Apple updated their software. So I’m assuming your app doesn’t sync well with their new update. If I can look at the internet and still be protected, why can’t I search for and send #images (also from the internet) and also be protected? Even after PhoneGuardianSafe updated this morning, no changes. I would like protection and still be able to send #images. It seems minor but I liked sending those gifs. Sent an email to the developer, waiting on a response. Otherwise, no issues with PhoneGuardianSafe and I’ve had it nearly a year.

So far I’m satisfied with PhoneGuardianSafe, but I had a strange feeling about the question that were asked in the intro, to “get to know a little more about you”. To be safe I suggest skipping or lying on questions that would be unnecessary, for instance one question I was asked was how old I was and I simply lied or another question I was asked was how much taxes I had in different households or something close to that , first of all you should just skip this question because for all I know PhoneGuardianSafe could be a scam itself, and second of all this is a really sketchy question. Overall it’s a good app, just be cautious because just because PhoneGuardianSafe may help detect bad things on your phone doesn’t mean it’s not trying to scam you as well.

I tried a few different VPN apps but their performance always left my phone and myself lackluster. However, Phone Guardian seems to buck this tend. The dog is a nice touch and makes PhoneGuardianSafe more personable. The dog plays sentry & some weeks it tells me over 10,000 tracking attempts have been blocked. I have no idea to know if this is true or not but I'll take the apps word for it. The only negative is that the protection does mess with some apps and internet connections but there is a button to put the dog to sleep for an hour. It's very convenient & you don't have to remember to turn it back on. Pick it up if you feel you need the protection.

PhoneGuardianSafe is great! I had six viruses on my phone, and of the 3 apps I downloaded, this was the only 100% free one with no monthly payments that got rid of every single virus. It answers any questions I have within PhoneGuardianSafe , and I love how they used a dog(especially a husky<3).It’s creative, innovative, and comfortable. I recommend PhoneGuardianSafe to every single human with a phone. The only thing it does is continually ask if the same network is ok, but it’s fine, it makes me feel safe. It tells you how many trackers and viruses it’s stopped, I love it so much!!! Thank you to the developer! You are wonderful human being(s). THANK YOU!!!!
