★★★★ Brandon Queen 5/2/2026 v8.36.0.3840
One of those apps where if you previously had a subscription it won't let you create a new one. My previous subscription was in 2024 & I cancelled but now in 2026 it won't let me create a new account nor does it offer to reactivate the old one with my new info. Don't waste your time.

★★★★ lyndon lisk 4/26/2026 v8.36.0.3840
I have just spent 3 hours trying to get this to work, I would give this a star grading but they are all too high. I cant choose my prefered server and I cant see how to add another device. I would ask for my money back but the problem section keeps logging me out. I was hoping to upgrade but seems I will have to just renew my current vpn instead
★★★★ Carrie Lee 4/25/2026 v8.36.0.3840

★★★★ Dario B. 4/16/2026
Their click bait sales tactics are horrendous, and they take 4 months to respond to a review.
★★★★ Rev Muratanya Julius 4/16/2026 v8.36.0.3840
Why after payment you keep on displaying this message, "The subscription has expired" What is wrong with your system. This is frustrating! Can't you treat it as urgent 🥺

★★★★ Sanjay Arora 4/6/2026
Was not able to even install. Downloaded to 97% and then halted there. Have paid two year and now have to be bothered to go through the process of getting refund back to credit card. Tried on two mobiles OnePlus7 and newest Google 10 Pro XL. Same results.

★★★★ Anastasiya Andreevna 3/21/2026 v8.35.0.3790
it doesn't work with YouTube or telegram, or other important sites. And it's always loading for 30 seconds. return me the money
★★★★ James Kirk 3/16/2026
it's all good until you subscribe. Then it's drops, on phone and PC, with no recourse but to restart because the apps become non responsive or forever connecting even with restarts and consistent internet. I did everything right. they didn't. I'm moving to Nord. it has monthly too which is the only reason I tried this subscription. It failed me miserably. there is NO WAY I would trust this service if I was to, i dunno, p2p torrent. Clever name. Nice graphic and small interface. Now if worked.
★★★★ Nikhil Jayakumar 3/15/2026 v8.34.0.3730

★★★★★ Austin Williams 5/7/2026
it keep disconnecting w when using it
★★★★★ Andy Liew 5/4/2026 v8.36.0.3840
When connected, the VPN works great. But very tiresome whenever i boot up my PC and attempt to connect to Wifi or LAN - it see this VPN does not release connection. So much time wasted to reboot, every single day...no more re-subsription after expiry. Update: the 'Auto-connect on launch' is always disabled and the version is the latest, as i have screenshot to you by email just now. The problem persists.
★★★★★ Horge 4/22/2026 v8.35.0.3790
Not good for privacy. The app don't support kill switch and will disconnect you from time to time to leak your real ip.
★★★★★ Snow Slade 4/17/2026 v8.36.0.3840
Just not good. So buggy. Doesn't have a quick connect feature. Don't recommend.
★★★★★ Gabor Weiner 4/15/2026 v8.35.0.3790
I have installed this app on several of my Android TV devices. Whenever I try to close this app, instead of simply exiting, I will get a nag screen requesting me to rate the app, even though I have previously provided a rating from a different device. What a terrible user experience.
