### 2/5 — Flawed

*2026-08-23, version 1.0.8*

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.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-08-22, version 1.0.8*

I have been very pleased so far with this app. One cool thing that I would like to see available is the option to see the websites that have been detected as tracking. I think it would be beneficial, if it’s coming from specific apps, etc, I would like to get rid of them if possible.

### 3/5 — Huge supporter by the way

*2026-08-20, version 1.0.6*

I’ve had the app for about two months now pretty much as soon as it was released, was working really solid until about 5 or 6 days ago. Lately it seems like I can’t even get through a full song on iTunes, or a single YouTube short without my phone having to buffer or load, thinking it was my phone I’ve restarted, ensured it was up to date, even on WiFi I’d have disconnected issues where texts wouldn’t go through or wouldn’t load a simple webpage. Well the very second I disconnected the vpn magically everything started working lightning fast again and service is back to normal. Not 100% sure if that was the issue but I’d say it’s a pretty solid process of elimination. I’ll continue to pay for app to support but idk what the true root cause is just yet. I connected to NordVPN and phone continued to work smooth, I’ll check back with glacier to see if it was just a bug that needs to be updated or what soon.

### 4/5 — VPN

*2026-08-14, version 1.0.6*

Add more locations to change to

### 3/5 — Good but regular small issues

*2026-08-14, version 1.0.6*

It’s a great idea from a trusted source and the app does function, but I have to turn the DNS/VPN off and back on multiple times a day to get my internet to work and it’s keeps giving errors when I try to switch my VPN location.

### 5/5 — Effective and reliable

*2026-08-13, version 1.0.6*

The app does everything it promises. The burner number feature is awesome too. Thanks Shawn Ryan and team.

### 5/5 — Been recommending to all my friends and family

*2026-08-11, version 1.0.5*

On my daughters phones and wifes phone with a burner for her as well as mine to use with all transactions that aren’t friends and family.

### 5/5 — Need Canadian IP’s

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.5*

Love the app easy to use and love I can had my dns on trusted networks to help with speed.  Would love Canadian locations also if at all possible

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.5*

Fast and private. Super easy to use. Love the tracker count.

### 2/5 — Interferes with Starlink WiFi!

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.5*

Installed app. Started messing with other apps like Paylocity and my home Starlink WiFi . Deleted Glacier and immediately had access to Starlink again. What’s up with that?!?!?

### 2/5 — Limited Capabilities

*2026-08-06, version 1.0.5*

The app is decent but needs an update. When I call 1800 numbers from abroad, the app disables the phone dialer section. This prevents me from interacting with phone menus.

### 4/5 — I don’t have to throw flippers away anymore

*2026-08-05, version 1.0.5*

This app is great super easy to use. I wish it had messaging capabilities.

### 3/5 — No free trial period

*2026-08-03, version 1.0.5*

At least provide a trial to test it out.  Here because of Shawn Ryan

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-08-29, version 1.0.8*

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

### 1/5 — Scammy

*2026-08-17, version 1.0.6*

I feel like Sean Ryan got us on this one.  Everything he talks about is his video about this app is behind a paywall.  This is a VPN.  That’s all.

### 1/5 — So many issues

*2026-08-11, version 1.0.5*

Have been looking forward to this app since Shawn talked about it a year ago. States that VPN can slow or limit connection. When it is turned on, my phone connection completely vaults. Cannot use any other application or data when connected to the VPN. Big flaw for a security app where a major use for it is VPN. Also using DNS completely shuts down all internet use when on cellular. Absolutely drains phone battery when anything is connected in the app. Contacted support and they said data was flowing through DNS, but never loading for me. No recommendations on how to fix it or have the app work properly. Overall, this app could not be more disappointing.

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2026-08-10, version 1.0.5*

I downloaded this app after hearing about it on SRS. Wanted to demo it. No demo. You must subscribe to even see what you are buying. Based on the description looks like a pretty basic VPN to me. You want DNS protection just use OpenDNS for free. Having been forced to create an account only to be met with a pay wall and no ability to even see how the app works, I then tried to delete my account. Guess what? Error deleting account. Shocker. Data collection much? Shawn should have asked some one before he put his name on this.

### 1/5 — SLOW/No refunds

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.5*

Be cautious. Super slow my phone wouldn’t download photos in iMessage or stream anything. Contacted support for refund and was denied due to it being more than 7 days of use. Now I have a useless 1 year subscription lesson learned.

### 1/5 — Overpriced vpn

*2026-08-06, version 1.0.5*

This is basically a vpn service with dns which is a decent vpn so long as you don't want lots of location options to choose from and only want the usa as your location. The burner numbers are calls only no txt and since that's how nearly all companies that you give your number out to verify with txt this feature is somewhat lackluster for the price-you can get burner call only numbers for free. If it had the option to txt and particularly blue bubble txting it would be worth it in my opinion but it doesn't.

### 1/5 — Purposefully Difficult To Cancel

*2026-08-02, version 1.0.5*

You can’t cancel the subscription through the iOS App Store, and the login button on the glacier website does not work, at least on mobile iOS. You need to navigate to a difficult to find login button and then confirm on multiple pages you’d like to cancel. Switching to another vpn option.

### 1/5 — Not what I expected

*2026-08-02, version 1.0.5*

VPN was never able to connect to my phone. I also paid for one line subscription and I kept getting a something went wrong message and never got to use the burner phone number.. I am quite disappointed.

### 1/5 — Required to provide an email before pricing is disclosed

*2026-08-01, version 1.0.4*

No, this is one of my biggest pet peeves of apps

### 1/5 — Phone Unsuable

*2026-07-31, version 1.0.4*

If you want to turn your phone into a brick, this is the perfect app for you! Google maps and many other programs won't work when this program is active.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-26, version 1.0.8*

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.

### 5/5 — Speed

*2026-08-25, version 1.0.8*

The last update, BLAZING speed change! So EXCELLENT.

### 5/5 — When Will There Be A MacBook Version ?

*2026-08-24, version 1.0.8*

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?

### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-08-21, version 1.0.7*

Great work guys 😎🇺🇸👍

### 5/5 — Ignore the bad ratings from haters

*2026-08-20, version 1.0.7*

Trust the process

### 5/5 — Auto VPN

*2026-08-20, version 1.0.7*

Loving the app so far. Very impressed! Would love to have an auto VPN feature so I don’t have to go in and turn it on every single time. Other than that, no gripes thus far! Most likely will be signing up for the annual subscription once this month is up. Never thought I would get an app like this but it’s making a difference that’s for sure!!

Also anyway we can see the data for the trackers that were blocked?

### 5/5 — Glacier for MacOS

*2026-08-20, version 1.0.7*

I think it would be amazing if you could have the app for MacOS. If you think about what the app does on your phone you can perform all the same things from your MacBook. I think it would be worth investigating if it is possible and it could be an additional revenue stream.

### 5/5 — Simply the Best

*2026-08-19, version 1.0.6*

Once Shawn Ryan announced this app was available, subscribing was a no brainer. Privacy is expected. Glacier has enabled us to reclaim our privacy.

### 5/5 — Very Pleased!

*2026-08-14, version 1.0.6*

Thankfully Shawn Ryan is a trustworthy man which is rare these days! Very pleased with the performance and ease of use! Looking forward to updates and expanded capabilities! Thanks again to SRS and the team for their diligence and hard work! Highly Recommend this app! Continued Success-J

### 5/5 — Really fast, no lag, and secure

*2026-08-13, version 1.0.6*

Easy and intuitive. Really need a Mac iOS version. I have a separate vpn for this but man it would be good to just have it all consolidated. I encourage everyone to look at where other vpns are based out of and who owns them. At least with this, i have some relative peace of mind on origin and why it was created.
