### 3/5 — slow connection

*2026-08-11, version 6.1.4*

works good but connecting to the area is sloooow.

### 2/5 — It’s terrible

*2026-08-10, version 6.1.4*

A lot of the nodes simply won’t connect! What a waste of time.

### 2/5 — Works but slow

*2026-07-19, version 6.1.4*

It was working just fine some days, except always randomly disconnecting me but it’s not that big an issue considering it’s free. HOWEVER other days, it just breaks the whole WiFi? Like I’d connect to WiFi without the VPN and it would work but then I connect to VPN and NOTHING loads.

### 4/5 — Slider

*2026-07-17, version 6.1.4*

The button should be a slider, the state isn’t always clear

### 4/5 — Ok

*2026-07-12, version 6.1.4*

Breaks a lot of pages.

### 2/5 — Awful throttling

*2026-07-11, version 6.1.4*

The throttling for free members makes it pretty much unusable. Sooooooo…. I’m out.

### 3/5 — Cool

*2026-06-23, version 6.1.4*

Decent free plan

### 4/5 — VPN hide.me

*2026-06-22, version 6.1.4*

This app did work for one app but two other apps with geographically sensitive content did not work in the country I was in. If it is really free then all well and good but hide.me VPN needs to work consistently.

### 5/5 — 牛

*2026-06-11, version 6.1.3*

这是我用过最牛叉的软件

### 5/5 — VPN

*2026-06-11, version 6.1.3*

Best free vpn I ever seen

### 5/5 — Ok

*2026-06-08, version 6.1.3*

Working

### 4/5 — 無料でありがたいが…

*2026-06-02*

無料枠で日本サーバも使えたら星5だった。

### 3/5 — Personal experience.

*2026-05-31, version 6.1.3*

After my last experience with their customer. Support team I was, having a really hard time. With their service I tried everything, under the sun and then some. And when I asked one. Of their customer support representatives if I was screwed. And he said yes I was. His name was Patrick.

### 3/5 — Okayyy

*2026-05-30, version 6.1.3*

There are times it takes a long time to connect, and when I connect, it’s super slow. For example, if I’m watching a news clip, the video would stop and not play , then I disconnect and reconnect to try to get to play. Sometimes it woks but more often, not.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-21, version 6.1.4*

Says connected but things still don’t work

### 1/5 — awful

*2026-07-21, version 6.1.4*

this is stupid it barely works the VPN sucks in free mode and is the worst and first vpn ive tried

### 1/5 — .

*2026-07-15, version 6.1.4*

This vpn not open on iPhone 6 fix please

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-07-13, version 6.1.4*

Not worth downloading it’s not allowing me to access the pages I want

### 1/5 — Nah

*2026-07-09, version 6.1.4*

After update no free plan anymore and there are way too many better paid options than this vpn. Deleting.

### 1/5 — World’s fastest?! HA!!!

*2026-06-26, version 6.1.4*

They don’t have the infrastructure to handle the work. Their servers are choking on the traffic. I can’t load a single webpage on any manual protocol selection, and even automatic protocol takes several tries to connect, and overrides my DNS settings.

I’d rate it one star for grossly subpar performance if I didn’t need a custom DNS. As is, this garbage deserves zero stars, as it shouldn’t even be on the App Store.

### 1/5 — Freezes my whole phone

*2026-05-26, version 6.1.3*

This thing is a scam you use it and it just freezes all out of your phone

### 1/5 — iOS 12

*2026-05-11, version 6.1.3*

It seem that it can't work on iOS 12!

### 1/5 — VPN is a VPN

*2026-05-03, version 6.1.2*

I found that there was a problem of not connecting in the latest version. I can't connect whether I'm using SSTP or any protocol. And this situation happened only to me. I hope you can give me an explanation. Can't connect to any node

### 1/5 — Roblox doesn’t work with this vpn

*2026-04-23, version 6.1.1*

### 5/5 — Nice job

*2026-08-16, version 6.1.4*

Nice job

### 5/5 — W

*2026-08-09, version 6.1.4*

Finally I can goon

### 5/5 — Works in China, but only on 1 out 3 devices…

*2026-08-08, version 6.1.4*

Hide Me VPN works in China on an Apple I8 through hotel WiFi

Samsung Note 10 connects to WiFi but has no access, so can not test VPN

Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 connects to WiFi with limited access, but Hide Me VPN does not connect…

### 5/5 — nice

*2026-08-01, version 6.1.4*

nice

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-23, version 6.1.4*

This is the best VPN I have found (shadow rocket maybe faster but not free) I use it cause I’m in China right now. It works great for like YouTube and Google. But I can’t play Roblox? It lets me go into the app and stuff but I can’t join any games. I’m currently using forestVPN for that but I have to make a new credit card often. Other than that it’s great.

### 5/5 — Fast, Reliable, and Easy to Use

*2026-07-14, version 6.1.4*

I've been using this VPN for a while now, and it's been reliable. The connection is fast, streaming works without buffering, and it's easy to use across multiple devices. I also like the extra privacy it provides when using public Wi-Fi. Overall, it's a solid VPN that does exactly what I need without any hassle.

### 5/5 — fire

*2026-07-14, version 6.1.4*

fire asf use this alot and it free W

### 5/5 — Thought it was fake but it’s genuine

*2026-07-11, version 6.1.4*

5 star deserved

### 5/5 — Best free vpn

*2026-06-28, version 6.1.4*

Not only a good vpn but it’s also free

### 5/5 — Definitely Recommend

*2026-06-20, version 6.1.4*

Hide.me VPN is not like the other VPNs that advertise so on so “free” service. They actually give you free, unlimited service with some limited access to different countries, but it should be ok as the speeds are fast even with the free plan.
