"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.

Major calling issue

Cannot make any calls while connected to Bluetooth

Desire to See What Web Trackers are Being Blocked

4 stars because can’t see what web trackers are being blocked. Otherwise no disruption tospeed of service seen, and no interruptions to usage yet. Will update review to 5 stars when blocked trackers will be visible.

Only connects to VPN servers in the USA ONLY. Lack of Transparency

Although I like the idea of what glacier is said to be doing. There’s a lack of transparency regarding what Glacier is actually doing. I subscribed to this app a month ago. It says it’s blocking trackers and ads. I’m still seeing all of the ads I usually see. The app says it’s blocking trackers but doesn’t show me what trackers it’s blocking like most other apps do. As far as the VPN is concerned, I can only select from 4 different VPN server locations all of which are in the USA. If you’re looking for a VPN that has a global selection of servers, this isn’t it. Because of that, I have to cancel my subscription and go back to my old VPN.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. Correct we provide VPN locations within the USA. We do not keep logs of these trackers by design for your privacy. If you're interested, we have a full technical write up on solution at theglacierapp.com.

Does not work

App continuously kicks me out, will not restore purchases. Going back to previous vpn.

Fantastic

Also here from Australia and fan of SRS. app works great. AU burner numbers would be great but early days. I don’t have a lot of experience in this area but the app is simple to use, Does what it says and in my opinion is priced very well for the service you’re getting. Great work. Thanks for bringing out an app like this that we can actually trust.

Speed

The last update, BLAZING speed change! So EXCELLENT.

When Will There Be A MacBook Version ?

I love this app for my iPhone. When will you be releasing this on the App Store on MacBook computers to protect my laptop and data while I’m traveling?

Flawed

Been using the VPN which is ok thus far. Purchased a burner number and after multiple attempts it’s not worked or allowed me to utilize what I’ve payed for. And for that reason I give it 2 stars. Needs more work, isn’t a finished product.
