Connection drops w. each sleep/wake cycle
Honestly, this was a reliable app now CarPlay doesn’t work if I’m connected, connection drops at every wake/sleep cycle and their support comes up with “turn on and off” after numerous emails.
Бесплатная версия работает очень плохо
Бесплатная версия работает очень плохо и крайне нестабильно. Платную не пробовал
Doesn’t work??
This app used to be great don’t know what happened but it doesn’t work at all now. Constant error messages. Randomly disconnects. I tried everything!
3.9.14
Worked fine before but after updating my WiFi will no longer connect. After trying multiple times, and cycling power I had to delete app. Please address this so I can continue using my subscription.
Constantly disconnecting and slow loading

Отвратительная работа в фоне
Постоянно отваливается соединение
Spam Spam Spam
Once you’re download this mediocre software, you will be SPAM regardless of how many times you un subscribe. Do not I repeat do not download the software as it doesn’t even work as good as some of the others. Developers please do not contact me. You guys are worthless.
Fresh account data limit?
You’re really limiting data on fresh accounts now lol time to find a new vpn because I’m not waiting a month for another 2gb as for your response yes they do lol proton VPN has a free tier no data cap ❤️
👎
Приложение вылетает и не работает
Constantly dropping connection :-(
Disappointed
Trash
It won’t even connect to its “Best Connection”…. Is that’s your best and it won’t even connect, then it’s clear this app is worthless. It should simply connect and work.
Ужасно
Не работает ни единый сервер от слова совсем, при подключении ничегошеньки не работает, глушит весь интернет, не понимаю, за что это приложение так хвалят
Phishing scam
I ended up having a virus in my email because when I went to unsubscribe it from Gmail, it sent the email from my email to it and then when I logged back into my email there was a pop-up with some data. It said from WinScribe, so I think this is a scam or I’m not sure what it was cause I’ve never had this happen before.
One star, because...
Favorite locations don't follow you between apps and doesn't work in China
Not working in Iran
Please modify the connection the app is not working in Iran, there are some issues with the servers.

Used to work, not conne ting anymore
Doesn’t work anymore on my recent iPad Air. It used to work well but recently it doesn’t connect to my account anymore. Same issue from my iPhone
doesn’t work in russia
Перестал подключаться
Never Connects
Windscribe was only working on my iPhone and not my iPad, but now it isn’t working in my iPad either.. It acts like it connects, but my IP address stays the same. I tried the suggestions but nothing works.. there’s no conflicting VPNs, none of the other protocols work, and there is no “connect on demand” toggle that I can see.
🤨
вечная загрузка на регистрации😐
Declined quality
The app works worse and worse. They take my money but don’t provide the service promised. I pay for vpn with Russian IP, but none of three spots works properly for months.
Throttles my network
More often than not, and no matter what location I choose, Windscribe throttles my connection so bad that I have constant buffering
