Progressively worse. Hotspot shield used to be a great free software. There used to be no premium so no limits on maximum speed, connection time, no ads etc. Over the years the app has gotten progressively worse. First they introduced premium and made the free version unnecessarily slower. Now, we are being made to watch 2 ads for every 15 minutes we connect. And if the software fails to load an advert, we’re completely unable to start the VPN. Highly recommend using another free VPN. In addition, I’ve tried the premium and it lacks in comparison to other VPNs. It’s much slower and jankier to use. Streaming services notice when this vpn is turned in much fast than other softwares. Highly recommend downloading something else, if recommend pure VPN or nord. Don’t waste your money on this company.

Deleted and Reinstalled. I’ve been using this app since 2022 and when I first downloaded it I loved it. Ads only when I opened up the app and the VPN would work amazing all day. It felt like using my phone at home. Though a few months ago an update to watch ads in exchange of VPN use lost my interest. It would make you watch an ad of 5-30sec for only 15 minutes of VPN. I was upset and to say the least, I went through maybe 10-15 VPN apps. Either they required a purchase or the connection was horrible. I chose to come back to this VPN as my last resort for a VPN. I loved it again. Even though I still have to watch ads, now it gives 1 hour of VPN use in exchange of one ad. I’m satisfied with its services and one ad for 1 hour seems fair enough for me.

The BEST hotspot. I’m more than happy that I have downloaded this app, and for the free features it has a lot to offer! It’s accurate and doesn’t have any major flaws, practically FLAWLESS. It stays connected and I haven’t had any issues with it. I’m in highschool and as many know it my school blocks data use which forces us to use the school WiFi for even the most basic actions we make on our phones, and of course the WiFi blocks social media or (mostly) anything else that may be a possible distraction in class. I needed social media to keep in contact day to day for more serious situations other than just texting people to text. I needed school information or other important things outside of school and I was desperate for a decent vpn which I went through so many before I found this one and I am nothing other than pleased. If I had the money on pocket all the time I would for sure get premium. One big thumbs up on this one. It’s a keeper👍

Only nice with premium.. I am in high school, and the phone I have I earned my own money to purchase. My family doesn’t have lots of money and we don’t have any payment accounts set up on a credit card. I use this VPN to access the internet at school to check grades and get assignments, but it stopped working for me. I don’t click 7 day trial, just kept clicking the X. Now it’s not working all for me which is horrible. I can’t find a single other VPN that works for me , believe me I’ve tried, and the fact that I have to spend money to get this to work is sad. I need this to help my education and paying it isn’t an option.

DON’T UPDATE APP. Before the new update this app was all I would use for school, because there is a dead spot for my carrier here. But now that there is a new update, it requires you to watch a video to get time to connect to the app, the only problem is to watch the video you have to have some sort of connection. I would use this vpn to connect so I could do something like that, but since I need to watch a video before to connect I can’t watch the video. Which keeps me from connecting to the internet. Please fix this, all of the other vpn apps that I’ve tried are just like this new update.

Doesn’t work even when I bought It. Right so normally it’s good but like lately it hasn’t been working as well like there was this one time I didn’t buy the VPN subscription and like I was reading a comic and every time I have to read another page I had to go turn off and turn on the VPN every single time and it was very frustrating so I decided to buy the VPN subscription which made absolutely no difference because I tried different ones like United States streaming UK gaming and all of them said no connection and I waited and waited I thought if I had bought the subscription it would make a difference but it didn’t. Although it used to normally be good this happens sometimes not a lot but often enough to make me give it 3 stars other than this problem it’s pretty good I suppose since I’ve been using this since the 8th grade.

Good 👍. You have to wait more than a minute for your vpn to connect. Also vpn sometimes works slowly. I am in Russia. This is one of the only major vpn that works in Russia and I would like you to improve the speed of connection and work. I've been using the premium version for over a year now. Upd I reinstalled the vpn profile and everything is much faster, the connection happens in a few seconds. I think you should suggest users from difficult regions to reinstall vpn profile from time to time. Since the last month I have been waiting for a minute for the vpn connection to be completed. I told my friends and at the bottom everything also accelerated a lot. Thank you!

Terrible. Before they updated it, it was a good vpn app. Decent connection and held connection for long times. Now that they updated it, you need to watch ads to add time so you can use your vpn for that much time (it adds 60 minutes per ad.) I wouldn’t care too much if I could actually watch the ad to add time. Every time it says “There are no ads to show, please try again later.” Every TIME. If I had my vpn I could watch an ad. So I have no connection and there’s no ads to watch. Why can’t you just add ads on the bottom of the app menu. Like a rectangle to show ads or include the ads I watch when I open the app to my time. It’s absolutely ridiculous. All my friends and I are uninstalling this vpn and finding a better one. Absolutely terrible. I absolutely don't recommend using this app ever. If they remove the add time feature maybe i’d reinstall. Highly doubt it though.

Used to be Good. It’s trash now. It used to be simple, reliable, and more importantly versatile (able to be used everywhere) with stable connection. Now they added a fancy button that doesn’t turn off when you want it to. Now it’s connection randomly drops. Now I cant even use it at school anymore. It works for a little bit then it does this annoying thing where it says its connected, but when I go on any app it “freezes” Like there’s a little clock thing in the middle of the button and it works when on the app but it clearly stops when you go off of it. On top of that, it has these fits where it won’t connect at all. Customer Support is a no as well. I understand having special features for premium version but denying people customer service for the app as a whole and not just premium is a scummy thing to do. The app is trash now. The ONLY reason I keep this app is cause it’s pretty much the only one that semi-works. As soon as I find a better one you better believe this is getting deleted.

If you value your time, DO NOT BUY Hotspot Shield VPN. If you buy this app, be prepared for CONSTANT INTERRUPTIONS. Every other time you access the app (I’m talking 50% of the time you click it on) it will ask you to give them 5 stars, take a survey, etc, etc, etc. It’s not that great an app, they should spend more time on making it boot faster, better throughput, etc. But they choose to hire someone to solicit 5-star reviews. And there is NO WAY to opt out of it, either. I’ve asked the app developer to maybe cool it with all the interruptions, and basically got a form-letter saying “F.U. we know better and we will continue asking people for 5 star reviews over, and over, and over again”. So. I have a subscription and have already wasted my money. Since you’re reading this, I bet you’re contemplating a subscription. Please, I beg of you, DO NOT DO IT, you will regret it!!!

I paid for subscription and didn’t recieve it.. A few days ago I purchased the monthly subscription for hotspot shield. After buying it I noticed I still didn’t have the perks in the app. I thought it was a bug so I waited a few hours and still nothing. I’ve been waiting until today to see if it was a bug and I still haven’t gotten the perks even though I bought the subscription. Please if any of the developers are reading this please fix this so it doesn’t happen again, I love hotspot shield but this just made me a little disappointed since I wasted money and didn’t recieve what I was promised. Also if I can actually have the perks onto my account that would be great.

Works on my PC, but not on my iPhone and iPad, generally works poor in China. As a student living in China usually, getting a vpn has always been crucial for me, since I need to access some particular websites. For me, I prefer VPNs that have a large number of servers globalwide. When I found out that Hotspot Shield VPN satisfies this, I chose this vpn. Nevertheless, as soon as I started to use it, I found out that there was a critical problem. The VPN works on my Windows PC, but only confined to a small range of servers such as New Zealand, Russia and Thailand. Other servers like Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Norway, and even the US server, were not working all the time. Even though I change the VPN protocol, some servers still work poorly. This issue was displayed on my iPhone and iPad either. On my iPhone and iPad, most servers can't be connected quickly. In the iOS app, I found out that I can't change the VPN protocol, which I could do it on my Windows PC. I didn't test how this vpn works when I am outside of China, but this VPN is definitely not friendly to users in China. I hope the developer team fix the stability of the VPN servers in China. Plus, dear developer team, please add the VPN protocol change on the iOS app.

Drops Connection. When it works this VPN barely hits my performance and I trust their payment model enough to believe they aren’t selling my data. That being said, the VPN itself is so unstable I wonder how much security I’m actually gaining. Two issues here: 1) The VPN randomly drops connection when online, and though it resets, I am obviously losing VPN status which I assume allows the sites I’m visiting to log my IP and activity while it’s down. 2) It’s hard to turn off. There are obviously circumstances where a VPN isn’t needed or desired, especially a free one. However, when I try to turn it off, this VPN often switches back on by itself and I cannot get it to remain off. In fact this is my second download. I deleted it the first time to see if that would fix the issue. However I see that I’m not the only one having that issue. Pro tip: don’t rely on this if you have something truly sensitive flowing over your traffic.

honest review ive been a member for about 7 months. If u scroll down you can see my new review 2024/ to be honest i don’t got a lot to say i think this app it’s probably one of the best ones i’ve had to watch an ad it used to be an hour per ad but as it got bigged they shortened it to 30 then to 15 then back to 30 what i liked but then back to 15 minutes i just wished that y’all would move it back up to 30 minutes like i understand theirs a crap ton of people using this app but at the time y’all can go back to 30 min per ad not just that i’d like to say with the new ads y’all made what advertises ur stuff it barley ever counts for me to have watch it pls fix that n good job to whoever have a made a good app/ hello 2024 it is currently january 9th i only got one problem anytime i try to get 30 minutes or 15 whatever it is it goes to a black screen everytime i once thought to myself “i’ll wait the 30 seconds” still didn’t pop up a X sometimes that used to happen to me when your own ad you guys made would come up but idk if it’s a bug or if my app is just messed up pls fix it thanks for everything y’all have done keep up the good work

Great but not perfect. Premium and ad-driven modes both provide good, effective VPN for overcoming limited internet access and protecting privacy, with respect to the amount invested. Premium especially provides fast internet access and quick connection speed. Would give a higher score if a few problems were solved. The non premium mode often quietly disconnects for no reason, which may be annoying for users relying on a consistent secure connection. My trial period for premium was also turned off early; the app displayed the option to start a 7 day trial, but tapping the associated upgrade option failed to renew premium service for the trial period, regardless of whether I had cancelled or retained the app store subscription. Please solve!

The free plan is super nice. Most freemium VPNs have a sub par free plan so that you are urged to go with a pricey plan but HotspotShield has a super nice free plan. They give you 500MB of data per day which is more than enough for anybody who is not streaming movies or shows on their phone. If you do plan on streaming movies or shows you could just turn off the VPN while you do that and then turn it back on after. If you are looking for privacy or just the basic VPN stuff then this one is for you. However if you plan on using a VPN to mask your location than this is not the one for you. It only gives you one server from America is you are doing the free plan, but despite the lack of free servers it is still quite amazing.

No longer has stable connections (update). UPDATE: 20OCT2023, so the issue with app was it trying to pick the best form of von standard unsuccessfully, between hydra, IPsec and Wireguard. Just manually select wireguard and the app was able to create a vpn connection. Used this app as a premium user for over a year. Worked great! But recently on iOS 16.7.1 the app will not generate a stable VPN connection. Just keeps connecting and then disconnecting. I tried all the trouble shooting tips, to no avail. HotSpot Shield still works on my windows laptop, just iOS is where the connection issues are. Until they get it figured out I would no longer recommend this VPN.

Amazing. I am a senior and throughout my years of terrible service at my school one of my friends told me about this app. He said that i have to connect to the school wifi and use the vpn the app provides you. Once i tried out the vpn it worked, i had no problems whatsoever. the free time limit on the app is alright seeing how you get an extra 15 minutes for a 10 second add. It doesn’t only work on school wifi, it works anywhere. I definitely recommend downloading this app, it’s free. Now my girlfriend won’t get mad at me for not responding because my message wouldn’t load. The only reason she could text me so fast was because she had the app too 😂

China 🇨🇳 and my concern for security.. On my trip to Beijing, China, I prepared a plan for the whole week and enjoy my holidays to the fullest, but I worry about safety in a different country with other customs, culture and laws totally different to what I may be used to, it was in that moment where insecurity took hold of me. In summary China 🇨🇳 is a country that controls the communication and information of its inhabitants and its visitors under strict laws. Here the questions begin; How do I protect my personal identity information? How do I protect the information I have stored on my phone? How do I protect the banking or government information that I may have stored on my phone or through an application installed on my cell phone? How do I prevent someone from accessing my diary, medical information or malicious intent to track down my location? Questions that we ask ourselves every day, but when you are in another country it is very dangerous. Use between 8 to 10 VPN applications to have the experience and without a doubt, HotspotShield was the only VPN that met my expectations 100%.

Was really good…. Similar to a lot of people, I use to use this app at my high school to protect my device from all of the nosy teachers who like to monitor who is on their phones. It worked very well and I had all day protection and could turn it on and off as I pleased. My friends had got the recent update and realized they had taken away the free version and now you have to watch lengthy ads to get 15 whole minutes of VPN. Ah yes, I want to spend an hour of my day watching ads to protect my device at school. I tried not to update the app, but they made it impossible to use it without updating the app. It’s a shame what corporate greed does to people. They should of stayed free, I know many people who would be much more willing to use their VPN again if they switched back to their original service. Very dissatisfied regarding the changes and will be deleting this VPN.

excellent app, annoying to install on new devices. i have been using this app for years. great app, but annoying when you try to install from app store. it wants you to purchase premium even if you are an existing customer. must go to subscription to cancel it. other quirks as well during said installation. but if you don’t have to reinstall this app on a different phone or tablet, you will have a better experience. I wish I could’ve installed it directly from their site. installing on a PC doesn’t have any issues. Otherwise, very nice application. Like I said I’ve been using for at least eight years.

What’s happening?!. I used to use this app all the time to connect to my school wife and do all my tasks, then it made me have to pay $9 a month to keep using it for free, I was uncomfortable with having to pay, but I thought it would be even better than it used to be, so I decided to start a subscription. Soon after I started paying a month, it stoped being able to connected. I tried everything, from restarting the app, to updating it, to checking to see if it was using my mobile internet to be able to connect, to deleting every vpn I had, but nothing works. I don’t understand. Isn’t it supposed to connect and be faster since it now has even more options with the option to find the best vpn to connect with my schools specific Wi-Fi? I guess not, and now I’m stuck paying for an app the doesn’t even wanna connect, please help. The Wi-Fi keeps going away every time I try to turn on the vpn and going to cellular data.

Happy. It’s a vpn. You have to pay for going to another sever like if you’re from the US, you wanna use Asain servers etc. But it comes with its quirkes. You DONT have to pay to use, you can just use it. There’s unlimited data, so don’t worry about that. And NO and I repeat NO ads. The only thing you have to worry about is Netflix. You can’t watch it. And the only thing you have to (if you want to) pay for is their server change. I think a great addition would be you trying to make Netflix compatible with your app. I love it but anytime I wanna watch Netflix I have turn the app off. Anyways I love the app! Nothing REALLY bad about it. Waiting for the updates!

Free VPN: what more could you want. This is assuming you are only going to use the free version. I’m sure the premium one is great too, but I only have the free one so that’s what I’m talking about. Okay so basically the free one will give you an ad you can close in five seconds every once in a while when you turn it on, and you can only connect to an American (or maybe just your nation?) server. Otherwise it works like a normal vpn. I use it to bypass my school’s WiFi restrictions, and it ha worked pretty well. In case you don’t have experience with vpn’s, this will never give you an ad while you are in another app or anything; that would make it malware, and it wouldn’t be on the App Store. But yeah, unless you just want to use a VPN to bypass region-locked content, this is a great vpn. Oh and premium let’s you connect to other regions’ servers.

New Update. Dude the update is so unnecessary. It really shocked everyone and was a random update none of us were able to see ahead of time or prepare for it. I have to watch ads to get 15 minutes but it won’t even give me ads. Saying “ no available ads “ or even when I do get an ad, it won’t let me watch it because my Wi-Fi is bad and to get good Wi-Fi I need the vpn. It really doesn’t make sense or maybe it’s just my experience but I think the update is just gonna make everyone switch to another app because of the update. A lot of people use this app and recommend the app but I honestly think just to leave it how it was before. Everyone enjoyed it and it was reliable and convenient. Now it’s just the opposite. I don’t usually write reviews so hopefully this gives people the idea on how the app is now. It used to be really amazing to use.

Happy I downloaded it.. So I’m not the type of person to review much unless I’m buying it but I def have to for this app. I love it. I downloaded 7 or 8 hotspot apps that were rated good but also had good ratings. However every single app (except for this one) required a membership which I did NOT want to pay for. Although this app has a premium offer as well, it is not required like many of the other apps which was a huge necessity for me. I was a little skeptical at first when I used it but it actually works seamlessly, even without the membership! There is all sorts of country’s to chose from and it doesn’t slow you down at all. I’m happy to recommend this to anyone. And if you do subscribe to the premium you will get even faster speeds and all sorts of other features. Definitely the best hotspot app. Highly recommended!

This VPN is a scam now. The app used to be very good for being a free vpn, but at one point it began adding ads to use any of the servers in order to support themselves. Though I understand this from a business perspective they also began doing shady things with them. The ads became only of the app itself, and the time you would get from apps decreased and began to randomly disappear when you are away. I believe this is purposely to incite you into buying the premium version of the app. They also have a 7 day free trial of it occasionally appear and it sometimes charges you in addition to starting the trial anyway. So you may get an additional 7 days but before the trials were free to start. So be careful starting the trial because if you have enough money in your account it will charge you for a year membership.

Not the same…. I have been an active user of this application for years now, it it’s worked wonders for me. Everything was good at first - if you’re not paying for the subscription, you just have to watch and ad or two to turn the VPN on, which is very fair. But as of recently, this has changed. You not have to watch a 30-40 second, un-skippable ad in return for ONLY 15 minutes of the VPN. I’ve tried to comply and try to use it like that but it’s just annoying having to go back and forth. Not only this, but the feature in itself it broken. Sometimes it’ll display a message such as “No ads available at this time.” Like really? This app has been good to me but after this update, I don’t know if I’ll continue using this app… sorry.

Used it for a long time but it got bad 👹. I have used this vpn since 8th grade to be able to use my phone on the schools wifi. I’m a senior now and I have just deleted it and am looking for something different. It was so good when I would just push the on button for it and be good. But today I opened it to turn it on and it said I could only use it for 15 minutes. So I was like.. ok I guess I can deal with that. Then, I tried to push it and a page that told me to buy premium kept popping up about a million times no matter how many times it tried closing it. So I tried to go to my account to see if it was just a glitch. It kept happening and I got so annoyed I tried to close the app and re open. I still couldnt do anything in the app except watch the next premium page pop up and close it. So I deleted the app because it was just not working and I don’t want to deal with it. It was great before all that when you could just turn it on and go about your day.

I never write reviews but!!. So I never write reviews at all. This is definitely going to be my first and last🤣 but seriously!! I had to write one for this app. So I’ve moved to a place with extremely slow WiFi, and the WiFi is unstable always turned off and on. I was searching for a vpn and I’ve heard about this but never tried it out, and let me tell y’all!!! When I use it my iPhone works 10 times faster , and WiFi doesn’t lag, and it’s not slow AT ALL anymore. I did not know that VPN can do this bc all the other vpn apps I’ve tried in the past has not worked like this AT ALL, other vpn apps made my WiFi slow. HONESTLY thank you so much I’m so happpyyyyy !!!🥰✨ and I %100 Recommend this vpn app

Linked to another Phone on the same data plan. A family member of mine I share a data plan with said that they’ve been experiencing problems on their phone since this month because I’ve been using this vpn a lot lately at school cause the Wi-Fi is terrible there. They had told me today that last their phone went completely white when I shut off my vpn and that they couldn’t get in to their phone even the camera didn’t work also whenever they called my phone it would go to voice mail and ask them to enter their password then the voice mail goes to this medical thing that makes strange noises. They had also claimed that whatever I do on my phone is like using their phone like a mask to do things on the internet but the thing is also when they call me I get the calls and end their texts as well soooo I don’t know if this vpn is completely safe I uninstalled it to see if it has improved their phone I don’t plan to reinstall this vpn and would advise anyone else experiencing this problem to do the same an maybe find a safer vpn that doesn’t do any of this.

Best Terrible App. Great service until now but with this update you need to watch an ad every 15 minutes for free vpn. I used to use the app during school to get around their game blocking. I loved it and enjoyed it with the pervious ads which would run when you turned it on or off. Although it was annoying rant when I wanted to turn of the vpn I can’t just close the app I have to watch an ad it was fair enough. This update however means I will never be using it again and switches services. To the developers: You will lose an unbelievable amount of users from this it was a horrible decision. At least make the time gained form an ad measured in hours not minutes. By trying to force us to watch more ads we will never watch any for you again. 0 stars switching immediately.

wont open. this vpn is one of the best I have used up until now. it has always worked without fail and gives me great connection in places that don't have good connection in the first place. Now however, when I go to open the app it is stuck on the loading screen with the title of the app on it and refuses to open. This wouldn't have bothered me normally because it automatically connects now, but when I am at a place like my home that has good internet it seems to interrupt the connection of my wifi. I am going to reinstall to see if it fixes the problem but right now it just will not work. I hope that this issue gets fixed so I can use it again.

Please please Hotspot shield VPN developers please fix this serious problems with this app soon. Please fix all this issues with this VPN APP please App Developers I am serious Please fix this vpn app I have been using it for a long time and now every time this vpn is turn on for 20 or 30 mins it disconnects and also when my phone is on lock mode it takes time to connect again to the vpn please make this vpn connection much stronger because it keeps on disconnecting and I have tried everything you guys have told me to do Ive tried everything I am serious I’ve tried everything and the problem still persist so please fix this vpn app and make the connection of this vpn app much much stronger and much faster please app developers fix this as soonest possible I would appreciate it so much if it is fix soon also please make this VPN fully encrypted and fully secure with 256 Bit Encryption please make this VPN app fully encrypted with 256 Bit Encryption if you developers fix all this it would be appreciated it a lot

Works phenomenally, Literally the BEST VPN!!. I’ve been using this VPN since 2017 & I am very satisfied with this products featured services. After a handful of occasions of forgetting to pay my subscription or simply not working it into my budget for the month & suffering the paranoia of unshielded online activity, I decided to pony up the annual fee. There was a bit of a learning curve as I presume is common with all VPN’s but once I figured out how, when & where to use it… let’s just say that I’ve provided some very luxurious services for myself & the group that I was traveling with making undesirable circumstances better than than they were. All in all the app works about 95% of the time for me unless I’m having cellular connection issues. I like the fact that I can have up to five devices covered on my premium acct. switching seamlessly from my cell, PC, tablet or laptop is never an issue. If you’re looking for a fully customizable, versatile VPN that’s reliable & secure… HotspotShield is the way to go in my personal opinion.

money hungry update. this app used to be the best vpn, it was the only vpn tht my school couldn’t bypass. but this new update makes it so that where you used to be able to use the vpn for an unlimited amount of time, now you can only use it for 15 minutes for free IF you watch an ad. even then, if you click to watch an ad, it’ll say “no ads available” in an attempt to get you to spend $12-$95 for their overpriced subscriptions. greed will be the downfall of this app and luckily i won’t be around to experience it. hotspot shield doesn’t know their audience, as majority of the ppl who use this app are middle and high schoolers who don’t have the money to pay $65 for an app subscription when there are a surplus of other FREE options out there. hotspot shield will just end up losing more money in the long run with this greedy business move.

Worse than it is. Not only is this new update the worst thing that's happened to this app, my phone's internet has been absolutely horrible ever since I started using this app, anytime I disconnected to the wifi at my house, I had to rely on this app to have a stable internet connection. I'm on a family plan and I have the IPhone 11, though my phones only about 2 years old now, it still runs fairly well all things considered. But my siblings asks me if my internet connection is okay, but I say no obviously because I can't even use the internet without a VPN being connected to my phone now. I only downloaded this app with the intention of getting past all the School wifi restrictions and how limiting schools are even though literally everyone uses a VPN regardless. I feel like I'm one of the only people who's even worse off without this VPN service than before I had it

A constant battle while in China. The VPN worked fine at home in the US, but not while I actually needed it. In Shanghai and Qingdao I needed to use the VPN for accessing any websites, translator apps, etc. that I could normally from home. It took me at least 10 minutes to get it to work every time, closing and restarting the app, trying from different servers *if* it connected, and often being told I had no internet (with three full WiFi bars) or that they were diagnosing problems & to try again later... which still didn’t work after 24 hours. Overall I was lucky if it even worked at all, let alone for longer than 5 minutes. It would often drop me from my WiFi as it “connected”, repeatedly, and caused me to go back through the whole process mentioned above every five minutes (or less!) I had success with this VPN only twice for 30 minutes; but it was hell to get it there. To think I payed $13 for this kind of hassle. What a waste.

Problems resolved thanks. I had to get a new phone Apple 13. When they transferred my stuff from my other phone I just assumed everything was good. The payments for Hotspot have been taken out of my Apple account all along. Today I was going though my phone and my VPN information is missing not only that but a message to renew my subscription. I have the App and I deleted and reinstalled but in General, VPN nothing is filled out. Do I shave VPN or not ? Evidently this has been going on since February. I take my privacy very seriously with all that’s going on in the World today. Maybe it’s something I should have checked 1st thing and it’s partly my fault but now I’m bringing this too your attention and would appreciate this being resolved. The monthly payment is there services has not been up to par.

I must thank all the diligent people from HotspotShield!. I am now in China, city of Beijing January 24, 2020 and am using HotspotShield app basic free plan to connect with success multiple times to google voice, google search engine, google account sign-in. If no VPN, all these connections failed in Beijing. I also tried some other free VPN apps most of which failed to establish connection to their servers, which probably are blocked by China’s great firewall. HotspotShield app connects with success and high degrees of consistency. Before coming to China, I did huge amount research for free VPN apps and their connectivities in China. The information places high regards to HotspotShield, which is proven by my experience now.

Poor Connection Constantly. This app is constantly disconnecting and slowing down my apps when I use it. My apps freeze all the time, even shutting down and I pretty much can’t use any app that requires internet connection when I try to have it on. I’ve been using it for quite awhile and it’s slowly been getting worse, to the point that my connection AT SCHOOL where I’ve always had trouble with connection and apps freezing is better than my connection with the VPN on. Honestly its more than of a bother that it is helpful. I saw good reviews when I downloaded it and for the most part it worked pretty well especially compared to other free VPN apps but once it added the premium feature the quality of regular VPN dropped so if you’re looking for a good free VPN this unfortunately isn’t it. It definitely was at one point but if you’re not paying for premium you might as well not even be using VPN because you’ll have a better chance at being able to use your apps.

App won’t open + vpn won’t turn off. I’ve been using this app for 2 years now and it works well. But sometimes when I’m on a public wifi (or data) with the vpn on and tap to open the app, it stays stuck on the first blue page that just says “Hotspot Shield” on the middle. It doesn’t go past that no matter how long you let it load for. It’s not an issue with my iPhone XR; all my other apps work perfectly fine and open fast too. It only opens normally when I’m on my home wifi or data. Also, when this happens, I can’t turn the vpn off from my settings app either. If I disconnect it from there, it automatically connects again in a few seconds regardless of whether I turn the “connect on demand” option on or off. This is so annoying. What do I do?

Amazing vpn for fighting off tyrannical school wifi. My school has this weird wifi barrier and you can’t use your cellular data because they’re weird and the other vpn that I used to use before (rest in piece) stopped working so now I use this one and it works just as good. I can’t really think of any complaints for this vpn. I don’t get ads, it works consistently although sometimes it will disconnect if I turn my phone off and I’m not sure if that’s the school wifi’s fault or the vpn’s fault. Pretty good for counteracting the school’s evil anti cellular data barrier except I have to use this vpn and another vpn to counteract the school wifi. This works for now although I might need another vpn soon. Very good vpn, I have and would recommend to others.

old download still available. unfortunately I was able to register for a free seven day trial and download an older version of the hotspot VPN shield. This version did not have updated locations associated within the United States for their IP addresses. I selected Seattle and the IP address had located in New Jersey. Completely f'd up a project I was working on because of location setting. I contacted customer support and they immediately sent me the updated version of the app, however, why was I able to download an old version in the first place.?? Not only was I able to download it but I was able to subscribe to it. Sounds like there needs to be some maintenance and janitorial work done ASAP so this doesn’t happen to other people. Other than this it’s been a great VPN and it does work very fast and I’m pleased with it since downloading the updated version.

very good app 😁. It is a really good app to get into things that have been blocked like my school WiFi blocks snap, tik tok and all of that stuff and for me before I got this I couldn’t do anything because I don’t have a SIM card well I wanted to try my luck and get this and to my surprise it actually worked! It doesn’t really help connect you to WiFi more but it unblocks stuff and does help with internet traffic the only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because it’s pretty slow most of the time and it makes me watch a good bit of adds like 4 in a row every once in a while. But I recommend this if you need WiFi access to something and almost everything’s blocked like at school or if you want to at least take more caution in being safe while using others WiFi or hotspots!

Really nice all around (with ads). Although I didn’t pay for the premium vpn, I can say without a doubt this vpn is worth the ads. Currently, 1 ad is 60 minutes of vpn time and it feels very worth it, I can usually just watch 10 ads and get a few days worth of vpn time at my school. The connection is secure and very fast but I do have some complaints. The vpn auto disconnects after some time so I usually have to open the app again just to re-establish a connection. The app isn’t filled with ads which is a plus, but sometimes when I try to load a ad to get vpn time no ads will be available which I find a little strange. Other then that, the vpn works as intended and doesn’t require payment to still be fast and secure.

Girl, I kid you not. I am writing this review from an airplane.. Guys, 30,000 feet in the air and I am still able to use my social media apps & every single app on my phone. I can even take FACETIME calls BECAUSE of this app. I usually use this app to get through school, but traveling is always especially hard for me. I’m not one to make reviews but girl, if you haven’t already PLEASE PURCHASE THIS. I am on my Delta Airlines flight, using the in-flight wifi, sitting in seat 15D. I have no complaints. Do yourself a favor and download this app rn. If I could upload an image to prove how LEGIT this app is, I would do it.

BAD Design!. What used to be a simple and fairly reliable app is now nothing but an annoying headache. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF, if for example the connection is slow and you’d rather just connect to the net without a VPN for speeds sake. Even if you turn the vpn button in the ipad setting to off, it will automatically TURN ITSELF BACK ON, without user permission. This has always been a problem but I use to consider it minor because one could delete the app and re-download it from the app store as needed. EXCEPT, now instead of giving the option of logging in after downloading it is ONLY set up to force you to subscribe—if you already have an account, resubscribe. Even if you ALREADY PAID for a multi-device plan through your computer. I got charged twice basically because the app designers are too stupid to give the user the option to turn the VPN ON and OFF at will!

New Update Is Terrible. Been using the app for a while and appreciating the free service it offered, because in all honesty; who wants to pay for a vpn? But it’s been a top tier vpn app until recently they added new features like needing to watch ads for time using the app, and even after that the time would keep pausing by itself due to an ad offscreen or saying that the app will pause even though you have 30 mins left of usage. It’s obnoxious and frustrating having to hop back and forth just to use the vpn and keep up with it like it’s watch duty. Please go back to the old version, I understand that money needs to start coming in but you need to find a new way or else people will stop using this app and find one to replace it.

ruined. i have been using hotspot shield for the past 4-5 years and it was the best vpn out in the app store until recently they decided to give their non-premium members limited time to use it. you have to watch an add to have only 15 minutes of “free time” which it’s absurd. for the past years the free option never had a time limit of usage until now and its honestly disappointing because i travel a lot to foreign countries for work and i had always used this vpn to stay connected to the US servers. what way to ruin a great vpn app. i can already hear the “we put the adds so its free for our users.” for the past 5 years i never had an issue with this app until now. i recommend you to go find a better vpn app now cause thats what i’ll be doing.

Worth every cent!. Couldn’t of asked for a better vpn app! There were no distributions to my network speed on my devices and the developer has always done everything they can to troubleshoot any issues, making you feel like you definitely didn’t waste a cent!

Too Much ‘Premium’ Focus. A reliable service that is overall good to use. When I first found it I had the desktop application, then after got the phone app, but over time its quality has degraded. Since getting it, I’ve seen them put more and more concentration on their paid plan to the point it’s annoying. They were pushing ads a lot, including ones that you had to sit through after pressing the connect button before actually letting you connect (when I think banner ads would suit a lot better and do just fine), as well as pushy ‘Premium’ advertisement every few times you open it where I have to swipe through six cards of info just to let me press ‘proceed to basic’ — which, by the way, if I don’t use the VPN enough to just enjoy the basic, then please let me. I obviously understand that they need money and they are giving a service, but it was just dumb - in my opinion, anyway. And there are much better VPN services that are more generous in their subscription plan. Takeaway: Good VPN to use, annoying app.

Used to be good - turned bad. This app was so good before, easy and quick to use I never had issues with it. But now I either have to pay or watch ad to actually use the thing is ridiculous. The ads don’t even work it just keeps saying “no ads available at this time” if I could give this new update 0 stars I would. Safe to say I am immediately installing this app and finding a vpn that actually works.

Excellent, so far…. Have been using the app through Dashlane, which was a smooth transition. Still very early days but so far HotspotShield Premium has been excellent. Nice dashboard and many good country/server options for (hopefully) a safer environment. Very fast and not laggy at all, compared with other VPNs. Thanks guys! Update April 2022: fast VPN with lots of country choices=opportunities to protect your data. Lag hardly noticeable. Excellent value. Revised 9Jul:Much faster than most VPNs. Really appreciate multiple locations for single country. More later.

Good app but doesn’t work sometimes.. This app is good, however it won’t connect to the auto and is very slow and laggy for me when I want to use it for some games, although it is free to use, I still don’t recommend to use this for some things I don’t know why it won’t work but it is still an ok thing to use. Thank you.

.. This app is so good when i first head about it i downloaded ut and within one press of a button i was instantly connected the vpn works so good and im so upset that i didnt hear of this earlier the only bad thing is that the notifications from social media dont pop up when im just usi g vpn no data n wifi byt overall this app is great

Works well. Perfect for accessing sites like Instagram & Tiktok on school wifi and to turn it on each time all you do is click one button and watch a short ad. You don’t have to watch additional ads for use over long periods of time. Default VPN is set as USA, but you can pay for other places such as the UK. Default works well still on public/school wifi and I’ve recommended it to friends who use it to watch TikToks at school using the DEO (department of education) wifi ——————-——*Update*———————————- With a recent update they changed it so you only get 30mins of use with each ad you watch unless you pay premium, so I’ve change my rating from 5-3. This is very annoying as often I’ll use this during my free periods and lunch which together can be 30mins to 2hrs 40 meaning I’d have to return to the app just to watch an ad up to 5 times in a single use.

Free version is a scam. I was recommended to use this app because it was a reputable and safe hotspot shield. That being said, the free version of this app simply does not work. The system where it gets you to watch ads for time doesn’t work because it comes up with a prompt along the lines of “there are not ads at this time. Please try again later”. This is especially frustrating when the app advertises its free side. Hope this helps the devs but I will not be using this app again.

Free, no time limit, works for school wifi <3. I’ve been downloading and deleting almost every VPN on the app store just trying to find one that works. This one is great and unblocks everything on my school’s wifi- literally the only one that works for me right now. It also doesn’t have a time limit so you don’t need to come back to the app after a few minutes or so just to reconnect it- and you don’t need to watch ads to extend the time unlike some apps *cough cough*. 5/5 <3

recommended it. it works so well like for my school wifi like u could never send any snaps or go on insta but when i Downloaded this omg i can send snaps and go on social media and when i downloaded this i cam send snaps and go on social media without data/Credit

this app is alright. now this app is like really good except you should make it be so every ad gives you an hour again, instead of 15 minutes cause i was excited today to finally be able to add more hours (cause i was runnig low and had only 30 minutes left) and i watched an ad to get another hour (or so i thought) and once it was done i thought ‘hmm thats strange, im only at 45 minutes, i should be at 1 hour 30 left’ and then i realised it was only 15 minutes added now, and yesterday it was still adding 1 hour cause i watched 2 ads for while i was out and now i got really disappointed when you originally added the videos for time, but i understand it also you need to add a server in australia for free, because i wanted to watch a show i was watching, but i couldnt because it is obly available where i live (australia) however on urban vpn i can connect to australua for free. so if you want me to change my mind and give it a 5 star, then make ads give 1 hour again and add an australian vpn server :D many thanks, nftrkk

Best ever!. I’ve never had any problem at all with this app. I use it daily, and it has always been reliable, easy to use, and I definitely feel more protected when I use it.

The best free VPN ever. I’m a gamer boy and I love to play my games with no lag and I love to play with my little brother. I tried a few other free VPNS but then out of the blue I found hotspot shield and I was amazed at how fast my games where going hotspot shield is the best free VPN in the hole world keep up the good work 😁

Issues. The app is good but sometimes laggy, and what's worse is that every time I try to connect using the Philippines location, the location that it shows is Singapore and not the Philippines, which makes buying premium useless.

Awesome app!. This is the only vpn I could find that is free, it works without slowing down internet too much and it doesn’t even push purchases on you! I now have a lot more options for anime to watch which is great. absolute top tier app

Mu. It’s a piece of work and I’m sorry for your loss and I’m not going on that anymore I’m not sure I will call but I’m sorry I’m just trying not reply but I’m not sure if you are not working today I don’t want you in my phone but I don’t know why you are so so

No more Prime -update. My recent review about no Prime access and the IP address issue... Just so you know, my reinstalling the profile for a new IP didn’t work (I tried over and over again). But tech support did some kind of magic at their end and got me connected again. Thanks HotspotVPN for paying attention!

Free trial is not free. I signed up for a year subscription which said it had a 7 day free trial. I canceled after a week but I had already been charged. I think in order to get a refund you had to cancel it in the app however I didn’t know this was an option because I didn’t have an account on the app. I have messaged support for a refund and they have been useless and are ignoring me. So I just spent $150 on a VPN I don’t need.

Hospital shield is the best. It is really good it is one of the only ones out there that work. I totally recommend this app. It is completely free and doesn’t keep asking you for premium it only does it once at the start when you first download unlike the other ones that constantly bug you to buy premium there are rarely adds on this app as well I have had this for one year and there has only been four or five adds out of the thirty to fourty times I have yoused this if edu which is you’re school wifi if it is blocking you from social media you just on this it is amazing and efficient.

I’m not enjoying it. I recently downloaded this app a week ago. Arranging it for my own daughter for when there was no internet she wouldn’t have to connect to my hotspot and personal data. However there’s a twist, Because technically in order for this app to work, You need pacific internet access for it to work. This is a dumb idea. Not only because she has to connect to my iPhone’s personal data, but you need internet to connect to internet. What’s the point of that? Now I’m knowing that she needs to connect to my iPhone ain order to connect to internet accesses. This app was created in pacific order to misplace the use of using wifi and chewing data to ground level, I’m not amazed with this app. When my daughter is connected to the app it still uses my data. It fills up my storage. You could do better.

Scam/fraud do not use. purchased 1 month subscription in October last year and cancelled straight away and haven’t had any access or active subscription to the app and they have been still charging me each month for subscription but not even giving me access to use the app have tried contacting twice and was told I can’t have refund as outside of the 45 day “purchase period” ? I only got to use for the month of October yet I’m Still being charged each month for a subscription I don’t even have or can use. Do not recommend this app at all.

Connor Murphy. This app was so great, I needed it for only about 2 months but worked perfectly while I had it, I then needed help cancelling my subscription in which Alberto helped me along every step. Such a fantastic app and would strongly recommend 👍🏽👍🏽

Get rid of ads!!!. I got recommended this VPN app in high school three years ago and I’ve been using it ever since. I even recommended it to a bunch of other people because our school Wi-Fi blocked a bunch of websites and with this app we could access them. But with the new update that only allows you 60 minutes of VPN when you watch an ad is frankly ridiculous and it doesn’t make me want to go premium. All it did was make me choose a different app. Like… if I want to use a VPN to protect me from public Wi-Fi and I can’t connect to public Wi-Fi without a VPN.. but I need Wi-Fi to watch the ad.. it’s just dumb

Great app, but.... I believe it is as good as VPN gets. However, having an option to turn on/off to automatically connect to the best (or last known connected) server would be beneficial instead of connecting manually.

Hotspot Shield Review. Overall, hotpot shield has a very good connection but there is a time limit which is annoying. Please delete the time limit to get better reviews from the community.

Super convenient, so surprised at how easy it was. I always thought having a vpn was nerdy and a long process, i just got the app. Said no to having to buy premium. Pressed 1 button and i was connected, it was so easy i was so surprised and mad at myself that i didnt do this earlier. Before i had to take out my phone and connect to the phones hotspot but now i can connect to a vpn from my ipad instead of having to whip out my phone every time. It also just auto connects when it notices you dont have the vpn on right now and whenever u switch h wifi networks it just turns on. Its just so simple your grandma could do it.

Very Fast!. When i was recently spammed and prevented from accessing the Internet, the Hotspot Shield provided a fast and secure alternative. Now i just leave it on all the time with no degradation in service!

Hostel shield is great. I use it everyday since I only get around 1 g in my data plan each month, it is perfect for school WiFi and is faster than any other Free VPN on the app/google play store and is easy to use with stunning results

Used to be good, now horrible.. VPN saved my life when it came to using special websites in school that the schools network wouldn’t allow you to use. Then it started messing up my iPad and I was fine with that. Now it makes you watch ads to secure an hour of hotspot? Excuse me? First of all there has never been a time where ads actually convinced me to do something so stop wasting my time!!! Highly recommend do not download!

Really great!!. This is such a good app to help your enter net. If your wifi is bad, just turn it on when u need it, and off when u don’t. It can literally last forever if u don’t use it that’s much, even though there is only a seven day trial.

Feedback. I found this app to work wonderfully and speed is good. It is important to understand how stuff works and why we need them security is a priority in the digital age. Thank you for the free basic service I hope to upgrade as soon as I can.

Uh it’s ok. It’s not really great because I deleted it multiple times because it never said I was connected to the internet when I was and it’s basically taken over my phone and my internet doesn’t work without it which is very irritating because you can’t do anything until you get it back it’s just a pain in the bum but it works on networks that have blocked specific apps which is good if you go to school and they block Snapchat you can use it and it’s actually really fast

It’s good. It’s very fun to use but only problem I have with it is while using the “basic” mode it has a hard time adjusting speeds of the internet, otherwise it’s very fun and easy to use

Why do we have to watch so much ads. This app was really good and I used it for years now but with this recent update where we would have to watch an ad for 15 minutes of vpn? Like cmon. I remember connecting to the vpn even without internet connection but now they have made this impossible! This was definitely the best free vpn app out there before this update but now its really bad. It was good while it lasted and I’ll atleast give you 3 stars. Thank you for the experience we’ve had over the last few years and months tho

Review. Thank you Hotspot shield for being the most reliable, easy to use and free VPN for me to use, it has helped a lot with accessing websites that are disabled on certain internet connections so thank you for the great service and I wish to continue to keep using your product because of its ease of use and fare treatment to people who do not buy the premium.

This is unexpected. I’ve had this for around a year now and I’ve stayed on the free plan and it’s worked amazingly other then a few times it was a little slow. I haven’t been hacked yet in any public places and the creators haven’t hacked me either I love this VPN it’s very good for me being a poor high school student. I recommend this app.

Pls fix. I paid for the vpn after my 7 days free and whenever I try to use it, it glitches my phone and I’m no longer to use any app that needs wifi, it was fine when I had the 7 days free and now it messes with my phone and can’t use it. It also disables my 5G and the wifi I’m on when I use it

Don’t use Basically useless. This VPN app once provided a simple and secure way of connecting to the internet, allowing users in countries with limited access to bypass censorship. Unfortunately, its latest update changed its course, which no longer provides a free service, it restricts users with time-limited usage and bombards them with annoying advertisements. Another issue is that it is no longer possible to connect to the VPN without data, whereas, prior to this update, it was possible. Simply put this app is heading in the wrong direction. This goes to show that the "free users" of the app are not important enough, and the app's main objective is to increase subscribers rather than improving. It seems they were unable to keep up with the rising competition and chose to prioritize their profits rather than the consumer’s privacy and security. It is disappointing to witness how a groundbreaking app has deviated from its initial mission, and as a result, I cannot recommend it to anyone. Users looking for a truly reliable, straightforward, and free VPN option should keep looking elsewhere. 0 Stars👎👎👎

EXTREMELY HELPFUL. this app is very helpful for me to use and it makes my connection load things so much faster and it’s just really great. I recommend this to anyone who has bad connection because a tap of a button can change everything :D

Hotspot Shield. This is a very good App. It does not slow my Internet connection to my PC, iPhone or iPad. When I checked my IP address location via Google search, it confirmed my chosen country. When I did have a minor issue — receiving updates for one PC, but not the other — Hotspot Shield tech support responded within 12 hours. The simple solution was to un-install then re-install the App.

Great app, don't pay for premium!. On all the pop up ads there is always a little X's, make sure to click them so you can use it for free. If you have any issues in the future of using this app just delete and reinstall it and the issues will be fixed.

The best Hotspot app EVER!. This app is really good, whenever i’m at school and the school wifi isn’t working on my favourite social apps, i can just quickly connect to Hotspot shield and that’s it. My social apps are working perfectly fine. i don’t even have to pay for premium and there’s no adds where as different hotspot apps, they all have ads and it just really annoys me. Tysm for this app.

Servers no longer reliable. I posted a review earlier this year mentioning several servers no longer work. AnchorFree posted a reply saying to reach out to their tech support. So I did. They confirmed the issue was at their end and… nothing has changed. I had to manually change servers in order to post this review as I couldn’t access the App Store via one of the HotSpot servers. I’ve paid for the premium service for years and, until this year, was very pleased. However, since it no longer works reliably and AnchorFree seem unable or unwilling to fix it, I’m sad to say I can no longer recommend HotSpot Shield. Look for a more reliable VPN service that will fix issues raised.

Very very good. Good for all things especially work making sure the networks you join aren’t going to destroy your phone. Definitely recommend

Ads galore. This vpn was good until you had to watch an ad to increase your timer and now when you activate the vpn you have to watch an ad. Originally you would watch an ad for 40 or so mins of use then they upped it to 1 hour and now have lowered it to 15 mins obviously this company doesn’t care and has just become greedy and doesn’t care for its free users one bit. May as well find a new vpn that actually cares about its users

Hotspot VPN. I think this is a very good app that had a lot of benefits for others and personally myself because it gives me access to wifi when I’m at school and every other public area

I had this app. I tried this app thought it would help protect my phone or run better on hot spots but I don’t like it and give it no starts! Firstly it ask you to pay for it when setting up location! Secondly it bugged up my phone when on 4g and personal wifi interfere with my internet connection for no reason and when I tried to turn it off it would not let me! App has been deleted.

Time limit. The app is amazing and all but one thing which was great which u guys changed was the ad time which was 60 mins but changed to 15 minutes which is really inconvenient since I have watch 4 adds just to get an hour of time which takes really but the app is great.

Doesn’t work. This app usually use in dictatorship country that filtering all the time, so they just make it unusable for users, actually has filtered. You have to be one step faster than them. Fix this issue if possible. (Iran)

Fast and easy to use. Hotspot Shield is amazing! It’s really fast and rarely disconnects, I have access to loads of websites and I’m able to browse freely. It was recommended to me by my friend and now I’m going to recommend it to anyone considering downloading a VPN.

M. this app use to be good, but they added a update where you need to watch a ad every 15 mins. Wasted potential. Who has time to watch an ad every 15 minutes

Nord Vpn. Nord Vpn is better, you pay for it but worth it, you can watch Netflix anytime anywhere

.. switched up on ur day ones, money changed y’all 🤦🏾‍♂️

Hotspot sucks. It Blocks my Sports Channel & Netflix I find I can’t watch my sports Channel & Netflix because I had The Hotspot On I had to get rid of The app to make Netflix & the sports Channel to work better.

Shart. Ever since the new update it doesnt work, it used to be amazing but now u can pnly use it for 15 minutes before u have to watch an ad, not to mention it disconnects all the time now

Doesn’t deserve a 4.3. It sucks. You cannot get around the buying trial part. I love tried only to get free Spotify but it does not work at all

Eh, sure. Only doing this for a game called ROBLOX to get Robux but i like this ;D

Absolute Garbage. This is singlehandedly the worst vpn i’ve ever used, id rather have no phone then a phone with this app on it

Pay. Not really a free trial if u have to pay

Update. The new update is horrible, you have to watch an ad every time you want an extra 15 minutes of VPN time or else you cant use the VPN. If anyones looking for a free VPN there are much better options out there.

Used to be good. Used to be able to use the VPN without a premium subscription now I can’t use it anymore because you can’t get around not buying it.

1 star. Doesn’t work for Netflix, I don’t recommend if that’s the reason you got it

Disgraceful. They had an option where you can get a 7day free trial and then pay 12.99 every month after. Not knowing if the app would work i did the 7 day free thing. Cone to find out i got immediately charged for $19 and some cents and didn't even get 7 days free. On top of that even though they have a 45 day refund policy I CANNOT GET ONE!!! Save your money and find another app.

VPN. VPN is so good I rate it so much like omgggg get it everyone

Rate. Littt

Slow af. Subscribed to premium for a month but it’s slow af. Doesn’t work for 90% of time. It’s a waste of money. Avoid at all cost.

Was good. New upset sucksssss

Garbage. Makes my wifi 10x worse and barely work and when I turn it off my wifi works great

This app is a scam. One year later and it’s still incredibly dysfunctional and nothing short of subpar. Whenever it tries to connect, it kills whatever wifi connection you have. Somehow this app is on the store while being a “free” scam that literally does nothing but tell you to buy their crappy service. Horrible app, 1/5. Do not download.

Horrible. They kidnapped my family and sent them to China

Lol. Its so funny how they made fake coments there were some like litt, amazing, omg get this everone.

Seriously. I got here from an ad on pornhub.... like... seriously. Pornhub for a vpn, that desesperate?

Misleading Advertisement. False advertising. You can tell that the positive reviews are fake, because they all reference using the free features that don’t exist. You need a monthly subscription to even use the app. It’s one thing if that’s how the app was advertised. However, that’s not the case. The description clearly says you can use the app for free.

SCAM. After you download the app and get the free trial, it charged my account $18, after I had can canceled the subscription.. I want my money back!! 😡😡

No changes whatsoever. The app still keeps freezing up, meaning it still won't let me open up the app

Good. Good

It’s bad. As a paid customer, all I want to say is take ur lame app off the store please

Doesn’t work with Netflix (US). I subscribed to premium, it worked for few days then all the sudden Netflix US catch on it and they couldn’t fix it. The only answer they had was “we are working on it”. I ended up canceling.

Doesn’t work 90% of the time. Whenever I’d use this app it work only work for 50 MB of data then stop and I’d have to turn it on and off again to get it to work.

Works. Works at my school

It won’t work. The vpn used to be amazing for school because I am in highschool and many applications can’t be used without vpn and also you have to watch ads for it to work without paying if you had it without ads for so long why now ?

Barely works. It barely works

Don’t get it. The new update in 2023 is crap don’t get it it’s waste of your time because you have 15 minutes off using it and then you have to pay. Hey creators make the app the way it was a while ago when you had unlimited right away you stupid idiots

Tf am I watching an add for 15 minutes for¿. This app is witless

Works well. Sometimes takes a while to connect but it works well, the only thing it doesn't work on is Netflix.

Does not manage transition from WiFi to LTE. Does not work on LTE (tested on 3 devices and a handful of mobile providers). What’s worse is that when you are no longer within WiFi reach, the VPN keeps trying to connect in the background BUT you cannot connect get a connection to the network until you manually disable VPN. It’s a real pain to do multiple times a day, especially when you are driving and cant get to the phone hands free. That means you do not get iMessages, notifications, maps/ navigation until you manually disable VPN.

Do not download, won’t work after deletion. I used the app for a day or two. Worked perfectly! I was impressed with how it functioned but nonetheless I decided that it was unnecessary and deleted the app; that’s when the problems started. I can no longer connect to my data servers. I’m with Koodo and I can’t get any sort of data services when I am away from my wifi. Wifi works perfectly but data does not. I tried to troubleshoot through google and Apple but no such luck. There is no profile left installed and my VPN is turned off but still I cannot even get on google when I am away from my wifi. Yes, I have data on my account. Yes, it always worked before. I’m not impressed. If I have to reset my phone to factory settings to get mobile data again I will be furious. Not impressed in the least. Do not download. I still have 4 days left to my premium trial. If my credit card gets charged even though I’ve unsubscribed through the website and deleted the app I will pursue any avenue available to make it right. I will spend $10,000 just to recover the fees from this app. Mark my words.

Good App. Always dependable

too many ads. They added an update that makes you watch an ad for every 15 minutes that you want to be connected for. The ads are 30 second unstoppable ads too. Unlucky I guess. L app.

Feeling so bad. everything is mandatary in this app

Bad. It is really bad because you have to pay for everything. What I mean by that is you have to buy the premium. So it’s a thumbs down from me.

Horrible. It says it's free then asks for money and it doesn't even work half the time

Satisfied...... well a little bit. It’s okay but it’s useless when it’s comes to watching Netflix i a different server

Was a great free VPN until the recent update. Now that this feature where you have to watch an ad every 15 minutes has come out the app is completely unusable. I click watch an ad and it tells me there is no ads available to watch but whenever I try and connect it tries to get me to watch an ad despite none being available thus rendering the app unusable.

Remove the ads. The new add for 15 minutes of VPN is a horrible addition sometimes you can’t even get a ad and are stuck with no VPN please remove this horrible change

Go for another option. Expensive and never connects; troubleshooting isn’t helpful. I want a refund

Sucks donkey weiner. Can’t play Mario kart, it’s as simple as that

Subsciption. I cancelled the subscription, now it says I have a huge bill to pay before installing anything on my phone. Thank you very much for the issue.

Unsatisfactory. Says you can watch American Netflix if living in per say Canada, I got premium and changed my location to America and turned it on. Yup you guessed it does not work.

Terrible. Me and my friend almost got our emails stolen while using it.

Great VPN, fast speeds and secure. I’ve been using hotspot shield for over 6 months and it’s been one of the best VPNS I’ve tried. Others tended to lose connection or keep switching on/off but hotspot stays on for as long as you want it. I purchased the premium subscription and although a bit pricy, it’s worth it and good for needing a secure stable browsing experience in public locations. It also offers many virtual locations in various countries so you can use it in conjunction with streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ and and others. Good VPN overall!

Wifi disconnects when screen is off. Not sure why Hotspot does that. But every time my screen goes off or I lock it, my wifi turns off. Which means I can’t receive any notifications unless I unlock my phone and stay on it. I tried multiple VPNs and they don’t have this issue. I wanted to get the premium but knowing this is an occurrence I decided not to. Other than that I would give it a 5 star. And just to note I do not have any issues with my phone or wifi. It just happens when after you turn on the VPN and you lock your screen. It does turn back on after unlocking the phone.

I LOVE THIS VPN APP. This app is by far the easiest and most user friendly!! I have been reading up on VPN’s and was not looking forward to using any of them. I do have some tech savvy experience, but the security side is my weakness. I decided it is time to get more serious and get started. I am so glad I did!! This VPN came with my Dashlane subscription. I recommend it hands down 100%. It’s a no brainer to use. I am so glad I have it because we go to a lot of campgrounds that do provide free WiFi but it’s not password protected. This will help out so much. Thank you so much!!!!

As a FREE VPN it works just fine.. I've bounced between a handful of other VPN apps and frankly this is my favorite so far. I'm a free user, so I'm not getting ultra high premium speeds, but for making things work properly on my school network, it's just fine. I also super appreciate the way it shows how much data I've downloaded/uploaded each session; this seems to reset a lot when it's in the background but it's still nifty, and I haven't seen other apps that do this yet. Is it perfect? No, but it has a great free tier that has handled everything I've thrown at it, when other VPNs have failed it just keeps trucking.

Horrible Update. I never rate apps let alone rate them but I feel the need for this app in specific because this update is absolutely horrible. The new update has made it that to use the hotspot you must watch an add that would only last you fifteen minutes before having to repeat the process along side many pop up adds. Which some people might think is okay and in some cases it might be but the fact that up till now every time I press the button to watch an add it always says there are no adds available. I have used this app for many years with excellent results but ever since this update I am unable of using the app and unsure if I will ever use it again.

Is it trustworthy?. I am pretty cautious with my online info even though im just a highschooler, but i use multiple vpns, and i can say for sure that this is trustworthy. I looked it up on multiple webpages and sites, and i can gurantee that it is good. the vpn basic version is better than most too, it works even without wifi connection and bypasses content filters. Great vpn and cant wait for new features, although i cant say i like that ads, they aren’t overwhelming though.

Great. Easy. Super fast. 5 stars for sure. I have had this for a few weeks and it’s been fantastic. I’ve used several other big name VPN’s and I’ve found that this one is one of the easiest to use, it’s also definitely been the most reliable, and it’s without a doubt the fastest. I’ve been connected for days at a time and never once been disconnected. It has a lot of different server location options as well as different bandwidth usage options. Definitely a well deserved 5 stars.

WHY???!. I would’ve given this VPN a straight 5 stars. It’s the only VPN that works to make the crappy school wifi less crappy, and I didn’t mind the short ads that came when you opened the app. The VPN was able to use unlimited for free and connection to several locations. Right until this new update where now you have to watch an ad just for 15 minutes of access. How annoying! And most of the time after I want to add more minutes it says “No ad available.” Bruhh. I will continue to use this app as its the only one that works at school to allow for faster connection but I will not be recommending it to anyone as I previously had been. Seriously…..

Hate the new update. If I were to have write a review a few months ago, I would've put 5 stars. But now- ehhhh.. the app now has a time limit. Not to mention to use it for free you have to watch ads. But most of the time there is no ads to watch. I'd rather how it was before, where you can use it for however long and it'll just randomly disconnect you, making you go to reconnect but being forced to watch ads. I'd rather that. Yes i know that it's to promote getting a subscription, but some people aren't allowed to buy a subscription. And the whole "free" system makes it impossible to use past 15 mins

Solid, but stop the pop-ups for Premium users. I really do like this VPN, it’s a great protection since I use public WiFi quite often in the week and full-time when traveling. It works as advertised. The only complaint is the almost-daily pop-ups that you have to swipe away to get into the app to enable/disable the VPN connection. In some cases I’ve had to get past two pop-ups asking to rate the program which wastes time when you want to quickly enable the VPN. As a Premium paying customer this is an annoyance and needs to be avoided and make the process as quick as possible.

Used to be great. I’ve used this VPN for years but after the recent update, it requires me to watch an ad before I can use it and as if that wasn’t enough they added a 1hr timer, u either die a hero or live long enough to see urself become a villain, I regret ever updating this app, if u haven’t updated don’t update and if ur planning on downloading, just know u have to watch ads in order to use the VPN plus there’s a 1hr timer on top of tht... this used to be my favorite VPN I could enable it in settings and use it for months without disabling it... it’s sad tht now I have to open the app and watch an ad just to use it for an hour... went from 5 stars to 1 star for me... Greed finally consumed them

Clunky but doable. Ive had hotspot VPN for over 4 year. I had purchased while i was living abroad to watch streaming services from the us. It has worked, but every once in a while the VPN wont successfully connect. leaving me disappointed and my day ruined. But besides that I'm thankful for having it. Without it i may have never watched all of the studio Ghibli movies with Australian connection. I may have never finished the office before it us. In the end i hope hotspot can continue its good work the the lazy people of this planet who just want to watch tv.

A few better options. This VPN is amazing, you can get passed many connections/wifi restrictions, However there’s one thing I would like for them to add. They’ve made it so that it impossible to connect the VPN to another country without paying, I’m no saying they should make it all for free, but let us have at least 3 countries. I use the VPN to bypass restrictions and other reasons, and I would obviously like to connect to other countries and such, so I think it’d be better if you at least have us 2 or 3 countries that we can connect the VPN to without paying. Besides that, everything else is amazing!

Not exactly a review but a question for the devs. Hello! The VPN is great and all, but why doesn’t it allow me to use wifi? My phone has unlimited data, but for some apps that I have, wifi is required. So when I go to turn it on and return to the app that requires wifi, it just doesn’t load as if it can’t even connect to the wifi. Is there a way of still having the VPN and the wifi on simultaneously? Or do I have to keep my wifi off in order to use the VPN? Is there a kill switch for internet connection? I’m just confused to why that is. Thanks.

Works most of the time. The app and vpn work well most of the time but there are occasional disconnects and packet loss issues that are caused when switching to a different routing device even if they are on the same network and then it needs to be disconnected then reconnected and can be annoying there are a couple more issues although I don’t care to explain. this vpn is not restricted by administrators or ran by another larger vpn service which are also good thing that I wish other vpns would disclose.

10/10. I’ve been using this app for over a year now and it’s been one of the only vpn apps where you don’t have to sit through a 5-10 second ad upon opening the app to either enable or disable the vpn. Connecting is always quick and the connection they provide has proven to be fast and reliable. I’ve downloaded a lot of VPN apps and this has been the best I’ve found. If you’re reading this I definitely would use this application versus a different vpn application. I hope this quick review helped you decide which vpn app to use.

Great for the whole year until now. It was a great app. Super convenient and I trusted it. I recommend it to all my friends and they all downloaded it because the school’s wifi blocks everything on our phones. All of us have been using it since the beginning of the year and all of the sudden they added timers on all of us. None of us can use it for more than 10-15 minutes and we cant watch the ads because our school wifi blocks it. Y’all need to fix this because we all love this vpn. No other vpns have been as good as this one WAS. Not anymore it just won’t let us use it anymore.

Horrible Update. This app used to be great before, but now it has plummeted and became just like the other apps on this store. Adding an Ad timer is absolutely stupid, making it hard for me to connect to service while also in fear of losing connection because my time had ran out. It was much better when you would temporarily see ads before connecting to your vpn, and thats what made the app unique, but after this update, this app is basically unusable. Not to mention whenever I try to watch an ad, it tells me there are no ads available, making it even more difficult to connect to anything. Fix your app, because paying half my allowance for half a years worth of a Virtual Private Network is absolutely absurd.

Terrible app don’t install unless you like struggling and useless apps. This app Is GARBAGE if I can rate it negative stars I would please don’t install this is soo bad you will spend 6 months trying to get it to work and it works for about 12 seconds and after that you have to spend another 17 years to try and find out how to make it work and then the same thing will happen again. If you even try playing games make sure your ready for it to crash in the middle of your game or when you need it the most and don’t even try doing anything actually important terrible experience never will download again unless they fix a trillion of the problems don’t install please it’ll be a waste of time and (if you buy the membership) money.

VPN for gaming isn’t that fair. I have a couple complaints about the gaming option in the VPN, you have to pay just to open an Gaming VPN?, I have to delete this VPN I would recommend using VPN - Super unlimited Proxy VPN cause why do you need to pay in order to get an Gaming VPN and why Do 4 year olds need to pay for an subscription I know if their mom/dad was black or white ( not trying to be racist cause I’m black my self) the black moms wouldn’t Want to do that kind Of stuff just for an VPN for 4-any age year olds! This is all I have to complain about also theirs a lot of High prices. ( I would highly recommended to change the subscription for the month/year dollars to an lower price the cost is way too much money! )

Not bad!. I started using this app on my phone a lot during school and now I use it all the time! But it used to have 1 hour per ad and they changed it to 15 mins. My only problem with the app is that they change the 1 hour to 15 mins per commercial. If they would change it back it would be perfect! I use the app on my iPad and phone when I’m going to school, on trips, just when I’m low on Wi-Fi I use this and it works amazingly! Love this app just wish it would go back to a hour :(

Does not work with hotstar. I got a full version but if I select India’s a country and open Hotstar application on my iPad, it detects that hotspot shield is enabled and displays a message that VPN is switched on. Defeats the entire purpose of having a VPN. Customer service has not been able to resolve the issue, I have 2+ years license still remaining and they are not kidding a refund as well. Pathetic! I've already reached out to Hotspot Shield. Every message to them takes two weeks to get a response and then the reply to that again takes two weeks They were not able to resolve the issue and theru accepted to refund only 50% of my remaining 2 years of subscription though! I'm still waiting to get a response from them on when they'll refund it

Not enough time per ad - ridiculous!. The VPN itself works wonderful and always makes my wifi faster, however, you have to watch an ad for only 15 minutes of "free time" using the VPN. Who has time to sit and watch ads for long enough to make a difference? Four ads for one hour of VPN use, it's just ridiculous. Maybe if you could keep the time that you don't use it would be a little better, but the unused time does not roll over and it completely resets which means you're watching all those ads over and over every single day you want to use the VPN and it's not even worth it at that point.

💔. I’ve been using this vpn for awhile now bcs of school and it’s been working perfectly until now….Today when I logged into to turn on my vpn it told me that I need to get free time so I had to watch an ad (something that’s never happened before) so I watched the ad but still didn’t get any time when I tried to watch another it wouldn’t let me. I don’t what y’all did to the app or what update happened but it’s horrible. I’m not even mad about the fact that I have to watch an ad jus to use the app but the fact that it’s acting like it doesn’t work anymore at all.

DONT GET. When I got this app back in 2021 it was amazing. Just had to watch two adds and I get unlimited VPN usage. For free. I recommend this VPN to all my friends. And they all thought and knew that this was the best VPN on the App Store. Until the recent up date. The one thing we all loved with joy and passion was taken away. My heart is aching from the update. We went from having unlimited time to only having 15 minutes. When I saw this I fell on my knees and started crying. It felt like my closet loved one just died. Now I am on my own. With no VPN. On a search for a new one to love. Every one loved hotspot shield but good things all must come to an end. Thanks for letting me brows on the web free of viruses and smooth internet.

Great for IPhone!. I’m in the UAE and they block all VOIP services essentially so you’ll pay to use their state run service. I originally used Express VPN because it was highly rated. Well it was awful, very difficult to establish and then maintain a connection and the calls sounded robotic and there were massive delays. Was able to download and install HotspotShield and man it’s great! Connects fast, calls are clear with out delays in speech and the call doesn’t drop. Thank you guys for developing this awesome app and the great service it provides! Get this app you won’t regret it!

You will get copyright infringements. App doesn’t work!. I have the paid version of this app. Hotspot Shield did not even bother to reply to my emails until I threatened to write a bad review. So this review will be truthful. I got 5 copyright infringements while using hotspot Shield. When I told hotspot Shield their app doesn’t work and I want my money back, they said it’s been passed the 45 days and they cannot refund me and that their app isn’t meant to download copyrighted movies. If the app can’t protect against downloading a movie how is it going to keep your financial information or emails secure? Bottom line the app doesn’t work, they won’t respond to you unless you threaten them and they won’t refund your money. If I could give zero stars I would

Amazing. I primarily downloaded this VPN to bypass my schools WiFi restrictions, and I have to say it doesn’t disappoint! For a 30 second ad, you can use 1 hour of free VPN access. It also times accordingly to when it’s on, not the time so you don’t have to waste time. Even the free version works internationally, it just takes longer to connect. I used it to watch Fox and Netflix in Morocco, and it actually worked! All in all great VPN, whether you use free or premium.

Teen user. I love how I can use this at school and be able to go on my social and other apps that help me with my work, and I like how as soon as I get home I can turn it off with zero struggle and minimum of ads. And also you don’t worry about not having money because ITS FREE!! Ofc that’s if you want to pay, which they have many different plans to choose from when it comes to prices. I love this app it’s easy, free especially for a student that’s goes to school with a wood lock and my phone doesn’t have service.

good but annoying. Everyone at my school has been using Hotspot VPN since Freshman year, and at first I didn’t understand the hype. A week ago, I downloaded it and finally understood the buzz. It allowed fast and easy connection, and I could access certain apps that I couldn’t before in school. But, not even a whole 24 hours after using it, it started acting crazy. It starts randomly connecting and disconnecting and it’s really annoying to have to open the app just to connect again, only to have it disconnect five seconds later. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good app, but the disconnecting thing is definitely a problem.

(MDG)€13 MY RATING AND EXPERIENCE.

Does not work as it used too. I am unable to use the service for days and some times weeks. The speed is less than 2% of my actual connection speed, which make streaming and watching service like Disney+, HBO Max and Paramount impossible at times. This was once a wonderful application and services, but in resent months has not provided the quality I am used too. Lastly, customer support can only assist with basic troubleshooting, so if your issue needs escalating you wait days before getting a response or an actual solution to the issue. I still use the service on a few occasions that it does work, however, I am seeking alternatives. I wish they would resolve this issues they are having so I can go back to using the app and service without an issue.

If i could give them 0 stars i would.. This app was great before the update that requires you to watch an ad to get “freetime”. this update essentially makes this app a waste of space. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. it is not worth it. there are so many other better free vpn apps to use. this new update has completely ruined the app. you must watch an ad to gain 15 minutes of horrible vpn use but every time you try to watch an ad you are told there are none available. meaning you cannot use the app. this update was a disgusting cash grab by the developers. i cannot believe that the developers of this app who make a living through this app would make such a horrible decision and destroy their app and their credibility with their consumers.

Company turned money hungry. At one point this was a great free VPN. You would get an ad every once in a while - sometimes a 30 second video, sometimes a ad you could close out of. As of late, upon opening the app there has been a 30second video + a mandatory game sample that you have to play & can close after 15-30 more seconds. After you pass through these ads & hit connect, you are met with another ad before connecting. When you go to disconnect, you sometimes get hit with another 30 second ad. All in all, be prepared to spend a minute watching trash ads before any VPN connection is made. This company has turned into Betternet VPN. All about money, not their consumers.

Does What A VPN Is Supposed To Do. If your looking for an easy way to get around simple WiFi blocks like schools, airports, and hotels. The virtual private network (VPN) helps you do just that. You just go into the app and literally press a button and *poof* unlocked, protected, free access WiFi! They do offer upgrades to have guaranteed access, but I’m not a avid user of the app. (If I was, I would totally consider it) So in summary, if you want to have access to “locked WiFi”, both freely and securely, get this VPN. And if you also want better advantages and if your an avid user of public internet get this VPN.

App changed, got pretty bad.. I used to love this app I would use it every single day because of school Wi-Fi and it help me out a lot then one day after 3 or so years now I have to watch ads to get time when the time used to be unlimited after you watch the first add and now even if I wanted to use it for the 60 minutes they give us I can’t because all it says is no app to show I just find it pretty irritating that after all this time now you guys finally start forcing premium on people if I knew this was coming I would’ve never used this app to begin with I still appreciate this app for what it got me through the past couple years when it was at its prime but now it’s just not even worth a download so save your time.

Not bad but not great either. Tbh this app was great when a first got it last year on my other phone but still had some bugs now it still works for me but it still gives me problems such as it not connecting or taking me off the WiFi but when things as such start happening I reinstall the profile and it works also I can only activate it via settings instead of the app itself otherwise it starts connecting on its own But all in all it’s the best vpn that I’ve found that’s actually free and doesn’t require a subscription (although it does offer a premium subscription) it doesn’t give me any ads except from time to time when a connect it via app

ruined. i have been using hotspot shield for the past 4-5 years and it was the best vpn out in the app store until recently they decided to give their non-premium members limited time to use it. you have to watch an add to have only 15 minutes of “free time” which it’s absurd. for the past years the free option never had a time limit of usage until now and its honestly disappointing because i travel a lot to foreign countries for work and i had always used this vpn to stay connected to the US servers. what way to ruin a great vpn app. i can already hear the “we put the adds so its free for our users.” for the past 5 years i never had an issue with this app until now. i recommend you to go find a better vpn app now cause thats what i’ll be doing.

Awful👎. Why would I have to pay for a VPN? There are better VPN’s in the world that are for free. Just because this is faster and has more countries, doesn’t mean it’s better. Now I have to pay for Netflix and this! And I bet I will forget about this later in time. So what’s the point? And also, there’s a basic option, but it can only connect to 2 COUNTRIES! 2 COUNTRIES! That’s disappointing, I can’t even use this. This is awful. Pls make it so you can have atleast 20 free locations. Cause the basic is nothing. And one more thing, why do I need a account? What’s the point? I’m just connecting to a country. I hate this so much, pls fix this, cause this is 2 stars for now.

Luvey s. See it was a good vpn I LOVEDD this app. ive been using it since the 6th grade always was great and ive recommended it to so many people. it wasnt like the rest of the vpn apps where u had to watch adds to get a certain time amount it was perfect. Until like today i think, they updated the app where u just have to pay pretty much and there are now stupid time limits smh. whoever thought of the update is an literal idiot, did u really need to be that greedy? that desperate for money? like its so lame now and i have to find another vpn app because theyre being so extra now. Its honestly sad having to see the down fall of this app unfortunately. L upgrade bye

Awesome VPN app and it is fairly. I set it up and use it all the time. You can set it to show your location wherever you want to. It can take some getting used to, however, as I set it up to show my location as Brisbane, Australia. Browsing for restaurants based on your current location automatically default to restaurants in Brisbane, duh! (It’s just doing what I told it to!) Other than that little inconvenience (self-induced) it does what it says it will do.

Cycling VPN connection prevents data connect. I have the paid subscription of Hotspot VPN. Sometimes when I transition between WiFi to cellular connection, the VPN starts cycling connect/disconnect. This prevents me from getting a data connection. In this situation, I could not get a GPS app /server connection when I really needed it, even though I had a strong cellular signal. After troubleshooting, I figured out it was the VPN, so was able to turn it off and connect. This happened again this past week. The only problem this time was that I was unable to turn Hotspot VPN off. Every time I tried to do this in settings, including “connect on demand”, it would come back on within a few seconds. I finally had to delete the app so I could connect to a server and use my GPS app.

von deleted 150 hours of free time. honestly the vpn itself works great however this might have been just a me thing but i worked to get around 150 hours of free time and i woke up the next day and it was all gone i check every time i leave the app to be sure i didn’t leave it on so the only left assumption is that there’s a bug that needs to be fixed in the app because this is the second time this has happened to me and it’s lowkey starting to make me mad. there are a few other issues such it constantly disconnects when your connected, it takes a long time to both connect and disconnect, it doesn’t turn in if you aren’t connected to wifi, and this one might be just me complaining too much but i really hate how you only get 15 minutes per ad especially since the old vpn i used give me 24 hours for 4 ads. this is a major reason why i am getting mad over my 150 hours being deleted because of how ling it took me to get my hours up that high.

Take a close look at all the other reviews.... Take time to read the reviews! Trust me! You’ll understand why they have a 4.5 rating! I downloaded this app thinking it would be helpful. Before I even really used it I just read a bunch of the reviews. I’m pretty sure most of the recent ones are fake. Usually that’s a sign that the developers are having issues and want to bump up their iTunes rating, or at least that’s what I understand. Because of that reason and that reason alone, you received a one star rating and I am deleting your app from my all of our iPhones and iPads immediately. If the developers or the people working for them are the ones behind the fake reviews I might suggest you take care of the issue immediately or other people will take notice, just like I did.

It’s ok?. I notice a lot of people are having trouble discounting from the VPN, there most likely are going though the settings app. You actually have to go in the app to then disconnect it. But I also noticed that sometimes when I do turn it off and then back on, it keeps saying that I’m on my data plan and even when it’s connected, it doesn’t pop up VPN next to my WiFi! Also during this it also keeps saying on my settings that my WiFi is connected, but it doesn’t pop up and it doesn’t work! But when the VPN does work, it pretty chill.

Great VPN but it has a few problems. The VPN works great! But if you’re using the free version like me you would notice the annoying ads that only give you 15 minutes of use. Sure you can watch multiple ads but it’s annoying when you go to turn on your VPN and all the time you “saved up” by watching ads is gone. I think the app should go back to giving you an hour of time after watching an ad, this still give the app money (because I know that’s all their worried about) but it also makes the app more useable and enjoyable for the free user.

I love it!. I went with this company because they have a lifetime subscription. It turns out it’s only about 50 years. But worst comes to worst I’ll buy the subscription again. It does not work with Adblock on the iPhone. I believe it does on the computer. I haven’t run into any problems it’s pretty solid for whatever platform you’re running this on. Also you can cover multiple devices (5) in one account. I also have peace of mind with this app. That’s worth the subscription cost.

Smooth and Reliable ! Best Customer Support. I am using this VPN for many years since 2018, I used it in lots of my travels. It is reliable, works smooth, and fast. Can use it with multiple devices at the same time. Their customer support team goes above and beyond to assist in solving any problems related to their application performance. I was able to use it all across the USA, in Europe as France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Iceland, and Italy, while can use it in the Middle East as Turkey, Lebanon, KSA, Qatar, Dubai - UAE, and any country in the world.

Great service 5 - ⭐️’s. 💁‍♂️ I love this app! My privacy and personal information is important to me. By using this service you can always have that piece of mind, that your dada is protected. With all the data miners, hackers, these days... these tools have become essential. I’d also like to add that there are numerous VPN apps on the market. But this one is by far the the best I’ve used. Also the interface is super easy to navigate, and runs smoothly. Customer service is always there to help and with a kindly manor. I would recommend this app to anyone for your VPN needs. Keep up the good work guys 👍👍

Whitepenny. Two of us are using this app with two cell phones and an iPad as Dashlane premium customers traveling in Spain. The coverage takes awhile to connect and will drop off if we leave one locale for another within Spain. Routinely we power off & reboot once reconnected in order for the WiFi to open pages consistently. VPN is a critical component to using our devices safely so we have been diligent at working with it. Would be happier if the process was a little smoother.
