DO NOT GIVE THEM A PAYMENT METHOD

THIS APP IS A SCAM. IF YOU CANCEL DURING THE TRIAL PERIOD THEY WILL STILL BILL YOU WITH NO WAY TO CANCEL THE SUBSCRIPTION AND THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY FORM OF CONTACT

PLEASE BE AWARE THEY ARE HOLDING MY FINANCIAL INFORMATION HOSTAGE THERE IS NO WHERE FOR ME TO SEE IT AND TO REMOVE IT FROM THEIR PLATFORM

Update:
They’ll comment to email them but will never respond to the multiple emails you send that email address. I’ve been billed outside of Apple subscriptions it was the first place I checked and it doesn’t exist. BEWARE THEY ARE HOLDING YOUR CARD DETAILS ON FILE. I was forced to cancel my card and file a chargeback as it’s impossible to reach them and again, they’ve billed me outside of Apple subscriptions and outside of their own website.

Read the other reviews the story is the same one on repeat.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear about this experience. Please note that for App Store subscriptions, billing, cancellation, and payment methods are managed by Apple through your Apple ID settings, not directly within our app, so your financial information is not stored on our platform. To review or remove your payment method and manage or cancel subscriptions, please check your iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions and Payment & Shipping. If you were charged after a trial cancellation or need a refund review, please contact us at support@guruvpn.com with the email linked to your subscription, the purchase date, and any screenshots of the charge so we can investigate promptly.

no cancellation/refund tab in this app

i got the free trial on accident via the website and it never showed up on my subscription tab, i thought it would be the free trial and that's it since i never really used it but i check my banking app and it said that there was a pending transaction from this app, i checked the app to say that i do in fact have a premium subscription in which i have not known about, and when i wanted to refund it i couldn't find any cancellation/refunding option anywhere on the app, i have contacted the support team though i have not gotten any response yet and i had to freeze my card to prevent the transaction from going through since i couldn't turn off e-commerce due to the pending transaction, and i have yet to receive any response to my emails.

Continuing charges to bank card with out the app downloaded

installed the app as i needed a vpn and i delete it about 10minutes after, however 2months on from this, it has continued to try to charge my card for £10 each time.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this, 866685675. Deleting the app does not automatically cancel an active subscription, so it is possible for renewal attempts to continue unless the subscription is canceled in your Apple ID settings. Please check Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions to confirm whether VPN Guru is still active and cancel it there if needed. If you believe these charges or payment attempts are incorrect, please contact us at support@guruvpn.com with the details of the charge dates and any relevant screenshots so we can review this further and assist you with the next steps, including refund guidance if applicable.

Scam

Does not work, extremely poor experience and despite deleting my account I am a still being charged and my customer helps messages have been completely ignored

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. If the app is not working and you are still being charged after deleting your account, please contact our support team directly at support@guruvpn.com so we can urgently review your subscription and assist with the billing issue. If you have already sent messages, please resend them with the email linked to your purchase, the charge details, and any relevant screenshots so we can investigate why your request was missed. We would also appreciate any specific details about what did not work in the app, as this will help us look into the problem more effectively. VPN Guru Support Team

Scammers

I signed up to this with a misleading pop up. Deleted my account 15/07 and have confirmation email. On 22/7 they charged my card through Apple Pay. I requested refund 24/7 and after so much back and forth they have said I didn’t ask for the refund in “good time”. I have challenged this with the evidence and they’ve still failed to refund. I will raise with my Amex and also trading standards. But beware of bad practices

We’re sorry to read about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation must be. Charges for iOS subscriptions are processed by Apple, but we take your concerns about the sign-up flow, account deletion confirmation, and refund handling very seriously. Please contact our support team at support@guruvpn.com with your account details, the deletion confirmation dated 15/07, the charge information from 22/7, and your previous refund correspondence so we can review the case carefully and provide further assistance. We also appreciate any additional details you can share about the misleading pop-up you mentioned, as this feedback helps us investigate and improve. VPN Guru Support Team

I’ve had a smooth experience using Guru VPN. Connecting to a server is quick and reliable.

So good

Great app for protecting my connection when I use public Wi-Fi. Very convenient and easy to manage.

Nice app

Great overall experience. Love it!

Charged me even after I canceled !

I have been trying to contact the team for 6 days now about a refund I canceled it the day after getting it and was still charged. I keep email them but have been received any help in 6 days I can’t follow the instruction to cancel it for a refund because I already did ! Worst customer help ! If you can even call it that because they don’t help !

Response from developer

We understand how frustrating this must be, especially after canceling promptly and then waiting 6 days without a resolution. Please contact us again at support@guruvpn.com with the subject line “Refund Request – Charged After Cancellation” and include the date you canceled, the date you were charged, your subscription screenshot from Apple, and any previous email correspondence so we can review your case more quickly. We also welcome any additional details about the issue you faced with the cancellation instructions, as that will help us investigate what went wrong. VPN Guru Support Team

Not easy to cancel

Does not show up in my Apple account so no way to cancel and unclear how to do so in app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. If the subscription does not appear in your Apple account, it may have been activated through a different Apple ID or another payment method. Please also check under iPhone Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. If you do not see it there and the cancellation steps in the app are unclear, please contact us at support@guruvpn.com with more details so we can help you identify the subscription source and guide you through the correct cancellation process. VPN Guru Support Team

The best app

Fast, simple, and reliable.

helpful

Very nice app. Highly recommend!

Amazing

Great app! Really easy to use.

Strict Policy

The strict no-logs policy is what sold me. Many VPN providers don't offer that, and I don't just want to hide my traffic from hackers on a network; I want to ensure the VPN provider itself isn't watching. Thank you!

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your thoughtful review. We are pleased to hear that our strict no-logs policy gave you the confidence you were looking for. Protecting your privacy means not only helping secure your traffic on public networks, but also respecting your trust in how your data is handled. Your feedback means a great deal to us, and if VPN Guru has been a good fit for you, we would truly appreciate you spreading the word.

bad

its very bad and they hide the unsubscribe

Response from developer

Hi, we’re sorry to hear you had this experience. We take concerns about subscription transparency seriously, and the unsubscribe option is not intended to be hidden. On iPhone, subscriptions can be managed directly in your Apple ID settings: Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. If you had trouble finding it or noticed anything confusing in the app, please send us the details at support@guruvpn.com so we can investigate and improve the experience. If you have not yet tried the trial option, we also invite you to try the free trial first. VPN Guru Support Team
