Sorry for the inconvenience! The issue you mentioned should not have happened. However, our app does not affect any app and neither it hacks the device. You can contact support at support@freevpnapp.org and we will help you troubleshoot it.

Wasted my time watching ads for zero VPN minutes

I 1st selected the 24 hour VPN with 12 ads, watched 3 or so ads and then the ads stopped playing, kept me in the same screen with the same ad with no prompt to click next or “X” to close the ad. Had me waiting for like 15 minutes, but I kept clicking all over the screen to see if maybe something would work and trigger the next ad, but NOPE, nothing till I click at the bottom of the screen where it says to skip ads and pay real money for their subscription service. It kicked me out of the frozen ad screen and gave me nothing in exchange for my lost time.

Then I tried the 30 minute VIP ad pack which supposedly contained 1 minute worth of ads, same result, gave me like 3 or 4 ads and then it just got me stuck on an ad with no way to leave and redeem my invested time. Got out of the screen the same way - by clicking on their “ad free” button at the bottom of the screen. What a letdown and waste of my time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, the issue you mentioned should not have happened. Sometimes ad networks have faults and do not notify us correctly when you watch an ad. You could try again. However, if this persists please reach out to us at support@freevpnapp.org and we will help you fix it.

The Holy Trinity of Free VPNs

Okay so I typically don’t write reviews but this VPN is A LIFE SAVER!! Im a high-school student (11th grade) and, as high schools do nowadays, they block certain sites. Nonetheless, some of these sites we actually need to use! I especially use Pinterest so I can draw for my art class and Pinterest has been blocked, not only is this VPN free (though - you do have to watch a lot of ads) it is so far the ONLY VPN to give me access to Pinterest which imo is makes it an automatic winner. It will make your loading time slow but honestly you’ll get used to it after a while. Once you’re on the VPN it should appear in a box where your battery and connection is at (for iOS, I’m not sure about other devices) but once you’re on you can access pretty much anywhere!! Including discord, instagram, twitter, etc… for me!!

All the time stop working, support fail to help

After message support to tell them about issues with the app, they respond after a week and I’ve replied, with more information, but they never respond anymore. I’m deleting this app as many times not work and need to re-connect multiple times and also not work in data mode, just in Wi-Fi. Obviously it’s free, but in the same time it’s not as we pay by watching ads. This is exactly what I mentioned to the support and probably they get mad because I’m telling them the truth and then they just closed my case.

Update after the developer resoponse.
I was re-connecting many times and I’ve email the developer.
Also I don’t mind watching the adds, but that mean that I’ve paid for the service with my time that I’ve spend to watching them so my issue it’s that the developer closed my case without resolving it and disregard my email to them.

Posting this update as nobody to be misled from their response to think they are ok.
I’ve already took another one that I’ve paid £65 all to get with VAT for 2 years and it’s briliant. Free VPN not even work when I’m not on Wi-Fi in Uk. With my current one (I don’t say the name so don’t get interpreted as I’m making false review) I don’t have such issue and work with hours without stop (in fact unless I change region never stop working)

Hello! We are sincerely upset to know that your experience with us did not meet your expectation and was unsatisfactory. Addressing a few concerns here - our free version is ad enabled because that helps us generate the revenue to keep our servers running in pristine condition for you. We are not hiding that information in any way. Regarding the connection issues, that should not have happened, however sometimes it takes a short while to find an unblocked server. To address this issue, you can either switch to a different location or try Alternate IP. We hope you consider giving us a chance again and reach out to us via support if you have any query. Be assured your query (like all others) with be addressed with utmost importance.

Free app doesn’t consistently work.

I liked this app because I could try it out before I put any money into it. I paid a year subscription for an old vpn app and it quit working after a few months and I was stuck with it for a full year. So I thought that I would try this app. The adds that you have to watch for free vpn time is not a problem and totally worth it. The problem comes when I can’t access my content. It worked for a while. Sometimes I would have to try and try many times (like 10-20 times) but with a little patience and perseverance it would work. Now I can’t get it to work at all-very frustrating! That being said at least I am not out any money!

It will not connect

when it dose connect its wonderful but when it won’t it may as well be a unicorn themed paper weight I’ve been trying to connect the vpn for at least an hour now and it will not connect I’ve tried everything I changed servers I’ve changed IP’s I’ve restarted my device etc... but I can’t get it to start and I’m worried because I’ve had the app before and it did the same thing back then were it will work for a while but then gradually stop starting and become useless even though it’s (when it starts anyway) probably the best free vpn on the market and I don’t now what to do

Date of edited: oct 13 thus 8:22 AM 2022
Edit: I’ve gotten it to start again and it’s working now but I did have to uninstall and reinstall witch was a little annoying but hopefully it won’t stop again but if I dose I will update this

That should not have happened and we thank you for drawing our attention to this. We will look into it at the earliest.

The best free VPN

Every other “free” VPN are almost always a scam. They either make you pay for a subscription which you get a free 7 days, or they give you a very limited about of minutes a day. This VPN has a great system, which allows you to use it as much as you want, as long as you watch some ads. The ads aren’t long, and only takes about 12 to get a full 24 hours. The VPN it’s self is also really good, and I notice very little connection issues or quality. Overall, a perfect free VPN.

holds your computer hostage

Okay, so when I downloaded this, and opened it, it put me in a screen where I could do nothing. I could still access other apps, but I couldnt get rid of the app or anything. There was also a large red unlocked lock on my menu bar. Im not sure what that means, but maybe dont download this app because it seems to be not secure. If you want to get it off your screen, force quit it by clicking on your apple icon in the top left corner and going down to 'force quit' then select the app and click force quit. After that, delete the app because its likely for the best. But for people thinking of downloading this app, or they havent used it yet,

DONT GET THIS APP/DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY

Hello! We are sorry you did not have a pleasant experience with the app but to make it better we would like to address few concerns. Firstly, the red lock icon on your menu bar helps indicate that you are not connected to the VPN. Once you turn on the VPN, the lock turns into green telling you that your connection is now secure. Secondly, regarding the freezing of the app dashboard, that should not have happened and we will look into it, however, simply restarting your device will help get rid of that. Hope we were able to address your concerns and for any future assistance, we are available at support@freevpnapp.org

Do not bother

If I could give 0 I would. Was reading reviews and saw that you do need to purchase the subscription to be able to choose your location. I decided I would give this a go so that I could watch a streaming service while I am away on holidays. I changed my location and on the app it shows that it is selected however when trying to watch the streaming service it does not allow me to. I refreshed it 100 times and every time was unsuccessful not to mention every single time everything was extremely slow. I understand you try to run a free service but don’t offer a paid service if you can’t deliver. I have also tried to contact support and am yet to receive a reply over 24 hours later. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS APP
