Lookout mobile security

[Slayer1393]

So I've had lookout for quite some time, but in the past few months ive noticed my data was racking up extraordinarily fast.

So I went into my mobile data tracker, and come to find out that last month alone Lookout Mobile Security had used 46 gigabytes of data which is completely ludicrous for mobile security app.

I regularly use YouTube and stream 720p for my videos on mobile data and even that alone only used two gigabytes, my question is why the hell does Lookout need to use 46 gigabytes in one billing cycle versus a video app that streams in 720p, that is a completely ludicrous amount of data to be used by a single app.

Looking through recent Play Store reviews, seems you're not the only one howling about excessive data usage by Lookout, like >40GB in a month. So it's likely something the developer has done, and they need to rectify ASAP, otherwise it could be extremely expensive in data charges for some users. Possibly something has gone seriously wrong with the VPN? Definitely worth you emailing them about it anyway.

If you need a VPN, frankly I'd recommend ExpressVPN anytime. Always works and no excessive data usage.
