Accounts compromised
I’m sure the app is great. It provided me fast access and I was able to watch ads to increase my time. But that’s really where the positives end.
I have spent the last hour securing multiple accounts. I had downloaded the app at 7.37 pm. Connected to it by 7.40 and was happily browsing.
7.41 - I get an email from Pinterest alerting me that someone in Russia has gotten into my Pinterest and they are resetting my passwords.
7.42 - more emails from things connected to my apple keychain telling me that suspicious log-ins are occurring.
Never had this problem until I downloaded this app. I would honestly avoid this App, the compromising of my accounts is a real issue I have reported to apple. It’s pretty easy to correlate the use of a new VPN with software account compromises in Russia. I suggest using manual VPNs you trust, don’t go for a quick fix, this app does not provide a secure service. Just use DuckDuckGo.
I would also like to add that when I attempted to contact the app developer, my app kept crashing when I clicked feedback on something else. Leaving me unable to report this.

Great for watching catch up aboard
Writing this review as may help others. Went abroad. ITV recognised I was abroad and would not let me watch catch up. Googled how to get around this and looked up VPN’s that trick app into thinking you are in UK by connecting you to a UK based server (make sure you manually do this in app when downloaded). Searched AppStore for something free this came up. Yes you have to watch 10 ads to get access for one day but hey nothing’s free and ads can be skipped after a few seconds. Takes no more than a few minutes to get through. Absolute cracking find. Never had buffering issues etc. Thanks to developers for this, top marks

Unexpectedly awesome.
I was looking for a temporary replacement for ProtonVPN until I could afford to subscribe to their premium tier. I have to say I will probably stick with this one, as I appreciate the developers’ honesty and interaction with their users. I really love their “reward based” (my words) business model; yes you can use this for free BUT if you want to use it a little more, you can CHOOSE to support them monetarily by spending a little bit of your time sitting through ads. Barring that, you can also choose to outright subscribe. What an awesome idea that I wish more developers and services offered.
I have not had any issues yet and the connection times seem to always be relatively quick. Public service announcement: just because you’re using this, or any VPN, does not mean you are 100% hidden. Always be aware of what your local connection gateway is, especially if WiFi. Most of the time, a VPN only covers the connection to a point outside the local network, so your packets to and from the gateway (router, what have you) may not be encrypted. However, for the vast majority of people, this usually isn’t a concern :)
Thanks devs! Love your product.

Response from developer
Glad you liked it. Thank you! We are truly happy to know that you are having an enjoyable experience with our app. Feel free to reach out to us anytime @ support@freevpn.org
Only app that works for me, BUT-
I’ve used many vpns on my schools WiFi that have not worked and I have relied on this one for over a year. Never had any problems and it’s been a great app. The only issue is the problems I’ve been having with recent updates. Before, the app constantly crashed, so I had to go into settings to turn it off and then try again. Sometimes ads wouldn’t work for me so I wasn’t able to get the full amount of time. With the most recent update I don’t even know if it crashes, because I can’t get it to connect, because no ads are showing up for me. Every time I click an ad option it says “swipe left to go to next ad.” It swipes but nothing happens. I’m unimpressed with this app and hope measures are taken to improve this update. It should not have been released with the current state its in

Best VPN app
Tried so many VPN app but this app is the best. Loved it simple and straightforward
Doesn’t work anymore
I used to use this all the time in China and elsewhere around the world but it no longer works. I click to watch an ad to gain more time, it loads 15min of time and starts the countdown, I then click the red button that says connect and it says unblocking your network, wait 150 seconds to connect. After the that period to connect, the red button should turn green but it goes back to red. I click the red button that says connect and it says (sound familiar?...try, fail, repeat) unblocking your network wait 150 seconds, meanwhile the time is still counting down and soon is under 8min.
Previously I clicked the red connect button and after a short bit it connected. It never mentioned the 150 seconds thing to unblock the network or whatever. This app is junk now, look elsewhere.

Literally the only good FREE vpn app
I used to have Onavo protect for years because I live out of the USA, in the Caribbean so Netflix especially limits options for what’s available to watch and so I love having a VPN that allows me to watch the shows I like. After searching for so many apps that were free and actually worked, this was the first and only one and it works amazing. Fast connection and doesn’t interfere with my WiFi at all. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great vpn without spending money on one.

It's free and awesome
I think a lot of people expect too much for free, problem with the entitled society of today. Yes if you close the app while not running the VPN your minutes return to zero but since it's like 30 secs for 30 mins I think that's perfectly fine IMHO this app is amazing, it's free, and they are open and honest about what they do and don't do with the your viewing info which most free vpn companies sell on. To the people complaining that your minutes reset, hush up and watch a 30 sec video jeez

Absolutely amazing no bs
This app helped me so much!!! I work 12 hour days and nights and this app allows me to play mobile legends even though they blocked playing games over the server. My boss doesn’t care because we are only needed on call we just couldn’t ever figure out why we couldn’t play games . With this app being loaded i now get more work done because im happy to be here . Thank you so much for not killing us on ads and giving us plenty of time by watching videos ! It was fast to earn time. Once again thank you guys !!!!!!!!!

Amazing !
Tried many other “free” apps before that asked for a subscription but this app actually was free. Wanted it for Netflix and works perfectly. Very happy with this app. :)
