Worst app ever
This might be worst app I ever used. It used up over 2.5 GB of my data plan on iPad within 5 days. It also identified virtually every site including major news organizations as bad sites so worthless as far as actually identifying risks. App effectively cost me $30 in data use. They should identify themselves as one of the highest risk sites on the internet.

Misleading
Ive used the WOT desktop extensions for my browsers for a long time and valued the added peace of mind that WOT has provided. I was happy to see they now have an iOS release of the extension
But for this iOS app I’m very disappointed to say the least.
Installed the app on my iPhone and upon launching it, it wants to install a VPN with no explanation at all! Absolutely NOWHERE in the “how does WOT work?” description does it tell you it will need to install a VPN!!! This part alarmed me.
When a “security related” app fails to provide FULL, CLEAR and TRANSPARENT details about their methodology of how their software works Im not interested, in fact, I become very suspicious of just what are they’re really up to?
Nowhere on the WOT website could I find an explanation for the mechanisms of “filtering” my web activity, except for their users feedback system.
Nowhere on the WOT website could I find anything about the need to install a VPN on my phone!
In my mind, the omission of these details creates suspicions of just what is WOT actually up to…?
Maybe these omissions are just an oversight, but these days where companies are out right stealing personal data from users and lack transparency you can’t be too careful. In fact I’m removing their MacOS Safari extensions from my Mac’s as well. Very disappointed. My trust in the WOT has been broken.
If WOT decides to become fully transparent and clearly explain their extensions/apps mechanisms for “protecting” my browsing experience and personal data then I’ll reconsider this review. For now ZERO stars :(

Thanks for your comment, we appreciate your feedback. We would love to improve your experience with us so please contact us directly via support.mywot.com for further assistance. As for your note, WOT VPN is a local VPN, means the outgoing traffic is not being routed through any remote server, we'll add it to the description to make it more clear.
Wanted security not political opinions
This app should give out warnings only when malware is present, not when someone is offended by a website’s contents. Deleted the app.
