Very bad

Paid for the PRO but not credited to the account. The service is auto-reply email.

IOS26.4 can't use

I can't use this service at IOS26.4, I can't see the vpn label at my phone when I touch the button of lantern and It will be loss at few seconds. Maybe It occurs because of the new IOS26.4, but I hope this problem can be fixed as soon as possible

Lamb dumb

Ain’t work after the newest update, and after four days still no one fix it? Got a GitHub page so called “Chinese users forum” and none of the programmers in it(btw I even have to use other vpn to get on that GitHub page), better call yourself “lame dumb”rather than lantern

诱导消费不肯退款

一开始是无法使用，以为套餐过期，购买后仍无法使用，问客服回复说要更新软件。
软件版本低却无清楚提示，只有买套餐的界面最快捷。
重复购买套餐后申请退款，从2025年11月提交申请，到2026年2月才回复。先要求我提供付款订单截屏，提供后又告知我他们自己只能查到2026年的记录，也就是说我提供的付款记录没用。
最后客服说没办法，让我自己去支付宝申请退款。我去申请后退了我1元钱。没错，我买了613元的套餐，退了我1元钱。
然后客服要我理解他们。我理解什么？你们拖延了三个月而查不到付款记录，这个责任要消费者自己承担，还要消费者理解你们的错误？

另外，我退款还有一个原因，蓝灯现在是自动选择服务器，而每次都只选新加坡服务器，但是这个服务器根本翻不了墙。太垃圾了。

一个被坑的消费者D
