### 3/5 — cannot Vless

*2023-07-01, version 2.3.6*

hope to update

### 4/5 — need updates

*2021-05-31*

Thanks for this wonderful app, but there are many new features and protocols that are not supported as v2ray core updates.

Could you please update the v2ray core (or Xray core) to its newest version?

### 1/5 — 好久不更新了

*2020-11-02*

停更了？

### 4/5 — Please update v2ray-core version

*2020-10-30*

This is the best v2ray client on iOS except for some issues:
1. json configuration does not work when using dokodemo-door as inbound, this is useful when using some apps like rdp or when a local dns service is preferred, please fix.
2. v2ray-core version is outdated now, latest version add some breaking new features, please update.
Still this is the best client for those who need customizable proxy

### 1/5 — 快点更新内核版本啊，现在的内核不支持tls1.3

*2020-08-23*

vless也出了一段时间了，还是没更新……

### 3/5 — vlessサポートできない

*2020-08-23*

4.27バージョンのvless協議を使用できない、いつ更新するか

### 1/5 — idea share

*2020-07-01, version 2.3.6*

有点后悔买这个软件，钱不少，更新慢，使用率低；而且添加更新链接也不方便；基本在手机里现在排到第三个才使用它！
希望作者能用心；买的时候评分4.2，现在已经跌到3.9了；唉；

### 1/5 — Unstable and performance really bad

*2020-06-03*

I tested at least 10 times for vmess connection, the connection crashes under high throughput every time during Speedtest.

Performance was poor. I only got less than 100Mbps (most of the time only 40Mbps), with exactly the same settings I can get more than 280Mbps with other vmess tool on iOS.

unusable piece of garbage.

### 1/5 — 嗚嗚嗚

*2020-06-02, version 2.3.6*

### 1/5 — Can not work on tcp

*2020-02-15, version 2.3.6*

### 1/5 — 打水漂了

*2022-04-21, version 2.3.6*

长期没有更新
不支持trojan 
已经跟不上时代了
加上价格贵
千万别买

### 1/5 — it is a waste of money using a never-update app

*2021-10-31*

The app has been abandoned more than a year, and the app stopped working as proxy for long time. 

So save your money and go for other proxy software.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Wait for the Apple TV app to appear.

*2024-04-06*

Wait for the Apple TV app to appear.

### 5/5 — Good but need local share

*2022-11-08*

I couldn’t find local share or enable LAN share to help other devices such as TV use internet without filtering.

### 5/5 — 作者为什么不更新了？

*2022-03-02, version 2.3.6*

不更新了还是咋回事儿

### 5/5 — 快更新

*2021-01-24, version 2.3.6*

### 5/5 — Very good, but hope adding more nodes from USA and Canada

*2020-11-11*

### 5/5 — 支持作者  良心APP

*2020-08-09, version 2.3.6*

非常喜欢的一款APP，就是不知道作者今后会不会继续更新v2ray内核呢，2020年8月6日v2ray已经预告4.28版本后将彻底不再支持老的内核，如果作者今后不更新的话，就真的用不了了，目前最新版内核是4.27版。

### 5/5 — Great app but should be updated

*2020-06-12*

It is really helpful for connecting to internet. But it should be updatated because of bugs of core

### 5/5 — 好久没更新了呀

*2020-06-07, version 2.3.6*

如标题！！！

### 5/5 — 这么久都没更新了！而且你们限速是真的吗？

*2019-12-06*

刚刚在YouTube看到一个视频博主测试翻墙软件速度，结果是这个kitsunebi速度垫底，速度只有小火箭的1/5，他说这显然是限速了。 不知是真是假，看看视频https://youtu.be/s7vw3Rcd75c

### 5/5 — 哥，能升下内核吗？

*2019-10-12*

5个月没更新过了，能升下内核和加个黑暗模式吗？
TF申请邮件发出一周有多也没见回复…
