Let down

Was excited at first, until zero networks were available and the secure phone lines are all a monthly add on as well. Wasted $15 bucks on it deleted and went back to Mullvad

Too expensive for Aussie

Wayyy too expensive. I know they spent a lot of money to build but there are billions of people and if they charge even $10 a year,I am sure at least 100 million ppl will sign up because of SR ! You’ll earn billion in a year

The Ferrari of privacy apps

Beautifully designed and built. This is the gold standard of privacy apps.

Must Have

Easy to use, gives me peace of mind, and makes phone security feel simple instead of complicated. If bad actors are trying to cause havoc on my privacy, Glacier is basically daddy stepping in and shutting it down. Highly recommend.

Please put texting on the app pleaseee

Excellent!!

Worked for a couple weeks then disconnected…

Glacier app work great for about 2 weeks. The app prompted me to reboot my iPhone, I did this and glacier had disconnected. I’ve followed prompts saying go to settings - VPN & Device Management - DNS - Glacier. There is no option for DNS. Looking to contact support, I got sent to an Ai assistant, and got no answer. It asked me if I wanted to speak to a human, I said yes, and it just kept looping back to would you like to speak to a human. I’m guessing there is no human tech support for this app I’ve been paying now 2 months with no protection?

Good app

Happy the jews aren't running the app

"Very close to being Sublime" .. just one final tweak is required ..

Hey Guys!

Terrific App. No Question. Just one final tweak is required to give it a full 5* rating. Not sure if this is something that you can do at your end, but if it is, then it would exceed anyone's expectations.

It's not to say that it isn't extremely advanced now, because it is. Unfortunately however, it's been my personal experience that since installing this App, there have been people copying the App. This appears to be an attempt to try and maintain control of a phone that they were once able to hack very easily [prior to the installation].

Unfortunately, I am unable to send you a screenshot on here to allow you to see what they've managed to do. But essentially, they're using "The Backdoor" to find their way in and duplicate what's already been cloned on the phone.

I appreciate that the average person will not have experienced this (thank god). However, if the aim is to eliminate "would-be attackers/hackers," then it would be great if you could develop a code that could stop "Game Centre" access. Even if it's completed on a rotary-basis as opposed to static. i.e. Fixed IP. But I will leave that to your incredible skillset.

Other than that, [believe it or not]; it's "A Ruddy Great App."

Good but could use some work

This works great and I’m happy with it. It would be nice if they could expand on it. Maybe with texting from the burner numbers. I just feel like there could be more here.

No Texting

There’s a lot of other apps that allow texting through the burner number. It’s 2026, I don’t want to have to call someone every time I want to communicate, sometimes texting is more convenient. They need to add a texting feature, until then, this app is sub par.

Doesn’t work

Tried to set it up. Says user not confirmed then next sentence says user is confirmed. Can’t get past verification. Stuck in a loop.

Horrible!

They only give you a 7 day window to cancel. Unfortunately I canceled at 14 days and ended up having to pay for the entire year. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anybody! It would either disconnect and I couldn’t access apps and sites or it would kick me off and I didn’t realize I wasn’t on a VPN until I went to an app or site that I needed one due to my location. If I could rate 0 stars, I would.

Very buggy.

I was really excited to try this, but I was a bit disgruntled having to pay full price just to try it. Had I been able to try at least at a discounted rate for about seven days or so, I would have known very quickly that I would have no use for this app. It’s the most marketed features are very subpar when you compare compared to other similar apps. I had high hopes that this one would be superior to those other ones, but it fell short. Also, every single time I try to open the app I encounter a different bug or a glitch and it just gets really annoying. So the full price for one month subscription just to try it for a day or two was a complete waste of money in time.

Makes your phone unusable

Love the concept but it destroyed my data speed and battery life.

Does nothing new nor unique

I fail to see the value of this app. It does nothing that any of the dozen or so well-established apps have been doing for years.

Disappointed

My review is based upon the fact that there are very limited VPN choices and it’s a nightmare trying to cancel the service through the app. I decided that it wasn’t a good fit and when I went to go cancel because I used a prepaid card (as I always do with most apps) the payment did not go through for the next month. So when you’re using the app, it won’t allow you to go to settings. It automatically pops up a renew your subscription, and there’s no choice to back out of that to cancel your membership through the app unless you renew your membership.. Extremely inconvenient really frustrating and very disappointing because if you don’t remember your login information, you have to jump through hoops in order to cancel the service. It’s little things like that that just speak volumes about a company. In my opinion when they don’t, don’t make anything easy.

Response from developer

We're sorry about this. You should be able to access your settings without renewing, and what you're describing shouldn't be happening. Please reach out to our amazing support team at support.theglacierapp.com so they can investigate and get this sorted out.

Glitchy/didn’t take my Gmail/tad overpriced

I wanted to so badly like this app, it took 4 try’s and 6 resends of codes to log in. I used my Gmail and it took a bunch of times to work. Then finally got access and just realized that it’s just not going to be worth the purchase at this time. Hopefully the bugs will be fixed, and it’s cheaper or reasonable.

Just one more thing you gotta pay for?

You already have Apple you already have most of these securities that this app is offering I mean honestly is it the reason you have an iPhone for the security? I know it is for me one more thing to pay for no thanks

Use caution - causes website errors and no refund is possible.

The ease of use and burner lines seem really good, but if you try going on normal websites such as yahoo, yahoo finance and aol there is a bug that makes the site constantly refresh. After doing all options support just says to turn it off while on these sites.

So it’s obviously not as built out as it should be at this point. They should offer a trial or some type of refund if it does not work.

The phone numbers also do not have text capabilities even though several places indicate it’s possible.

Look for something else.
