It wouldn’t be as bad if I could easily figure out which device is which name. It's not like it lets you choose a name or give a clue. If I knew which device was on the l could temporarily remove it so that I could turn it on on for another device. Many people have many devices at home. The limit should be at least 10 devices, as long as they're originating from the same Home IP. Obviously so that people aren’t sharing with people not in that home. Of course I’m only speaking from the point of view of a home network. I guess there would have to be a different limit for mobile devices ### 3/5 — "Internal Error" *2026-08-15, version 2026.4* Trying to log in on iPhone app and it says login failed - internal error. I don't have more than 1 device in my account currently and yet even after an uninstall and reboot still nothing. Suggestions? ### 3/5 — Really slows your connection *2026-08-12, version 2026.4* Great if you don’t mind 80s dial up speed. It really slows things down: videos stop start and are laggy a lot of the time. So, great privacy if you have a lot of patience. ### 3/5 — Não funciona bem com CarPlay *2026-07-29* O Muvad entra em loop de "reasserting" em dados celulares quando o celular conecta no Carplay, deixando o aparelho sem conexão à internet ### 3/5 — Can we get a free option with watching ads? *2026-07-19, version 2026.3* I’d be up for that. ### 5/5 — best vpn ever yo🥹 *2026-07-10, version 2026.3* whoever made mullvad straight cooked yo🥹🥹 ### 5/5 — Blue bands Larp *2026-07-08, version 2026.3* Best vpn for be anonymous and plus they don’t log which is amazing and there the best vpn out there ### 3/5 — Owner supports alt right groups. But app is Okayish. *2026-07-08, version 2026.3* Overall I like the app. There are issues with latency which is to be expected from a VPN. but sometimes on certain servers packet loss and latency is excessive, also I have difficulty connecting to servers sometimes, so bad I’ll need to restart the phone to connect. ### 5/5 — Better than terrific *2026-07-05, version 2026.3* I held off on getting a VPN for almost a decade. Mainly because I couldn’t decide. After using Mullvad for a few weeks I can honestly say it’s better than terrific. ### 5/5 — Trustworthy *2026-07-05, version 2026.3* Mullvad is trustworthy vpn provider ### 2/5 — Do Not Pay for Hatred *2026-07-01, version 2026.3* I enjoyed the function of this app, and so was deeply disappointed to learn that the CEO of this company is the main financer of Sweden’s far-right political party, Örebro. They have stated this as a “private” donation and another way to “express and access views [people] disagree with,” but extremism is not a matter of opinion, it is an antisocial willingness to ruin the lives of others due to hatred, prejudice, intolerance, all things evil. I will no longer be giving my money to this app, I will not have my finances damage the wellbeing of innocent strangers. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working on iOS *2026-08-15, version 2026.4* Have been a customer for over 3 years and have never had an issue until now. The app has just stopped working completely on both my iOS devices with no explanation or way to recoup the time I’ve paid for. Infinitely loads on every network I’ve tried. ### 1/5 — Payments *2026-08-14, version 2026.4* lack when it comes to payments and does not help there customers fix it ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-10, version 2026.3* This vpn sucks TikTok doesn’t even work when I’m in China so if you’re planning to come to China and want to use TikTok I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone! ### 1/5 — Disconnect when time runs out *2026-08-07, version 2026.3* Either disconnect when time runs out or put up a system notification so that ppl aren't chasing their tail trying to figure out why their connection isn't working ### 1/5 — no longer works! *2026-08-03, version 2026.3* it no longer blocks any ads! please fix this situation ### 1/5 — Great VPN, terrible ownership *2026-07-12, version 2026.3* CEO is the most significant funder of Swedish far-right by a huge margin. It’s a shame this is one of the best VPNs on the market because I will not be renewing. ### 1/5 — solid vpn product but… *2026-07-09, version 2026.3* As the child of a refugee i am unable to support or recommend a product profits from which go towards removing their rights ### 1/5 — Lots of issues. Only buy month by month *2026-07-03, version 2025.8* So mullvad has been advertising so heavily that they have gotten too big for their britches. I deal with constant captchas and human verification bs. Not to mention that the sf servers are so worthless. That when you use them you get flagged by every app. And have to deal with age verification bs. Mullvad has jumped the shark by becoming too big and its just not practical for day to day stuff. Probably won’t buy another month. Whatever you do, dont buy more than one month at a time because i anticipate their service becoming even worse and no amount of yearly discount will make it worth it. If this company cant be clever and be a good vpn. We will take our money elsewhere ### 1/5 — Founder donates to far-right political parties *2026-07-02, version 2026.3* Turns out the guy behind this app absolutely sucks and uses the profits from it to back political parties supporting “remigration” of non-white people. Time to find a new VPN. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-06-30, version 2026.3* I’m not supporting racism ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good speed, quick connections. *2026-08-16, version 2026.4* I’ve been a Surfshark user for 2 years, Proton user for a year prior to that. My cheap Surfshark subscription had come to an end so I thought I’d try something new. Mullvad blows the others out the water. It’s so much faster and more reliable. I do wish Mullvad would create an IOS widget though. ### 5/5 — Fantastic + Private VPN *2026-08-15, version 2026.4* Never had any issues with this VPN, clean UI, heaps of servers and a strict privacy policy. I use it on my iPhone, Mac and PC. Great job Mullvad, very happy. ### 5/5 — Sur iphone *2026-08-04* Rapidement top Bloqueur de pub top Prix top Continué comme sa et je reste chez vous. Mieu que nord vpn!! ### 5/5 — Private *2026-08-02, version 2026.3* Works great and its affordable via monthly payments! ### 5/5 — Un vrais changement positif ! *2026-07-31* J’étais abonné chez Proton VPN que je viens de quitter. Proton était un bon VPN mais Mullvad VPN le surpasse c’est surprenant : plus rapide beaucoup plus léger il ne déconnecte pas et un abonnement carrément moins chers du coup je ne regrette pas le changement. Seul point un peut négatif il n’y a pas de prélèvement mensuel automatique de l’abonnement il faut à chaque fois réaliser le paiement soit même pour la durée de son choix de 1 mois ( 5 euros ) jusqu’à 12 mois ( 60 euros ) ce n’est pas précisé au départ on le découvre en s’abonnant. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-25, version 2026.3* Best there is for me ### 5/5 — Best VPN *2026-07-25, version 2026.3* I very much recommend this app. I have used it for 12 months now, its great ### 5/5 — 买了一个月，还不错 *2026-07-23, version 2026.3* 连接成功率比较高，速度比较快 ### 5/5 — Best vpn *2026-07-16, version 2026.3* Great value, love the simplicity and the anonymity. Much better than all the rest. ### 5/5 — The ONLY one to pass *2026-07-13, version 2026.3* To date, this is the only vpn to pass my own integrity testing and scrutiny. I’ve spent years testing vpns one at a time and this is the only one to do so. I can’t even begin to express how meaningful this is. Thank you guys for making a product that is powerful, accessible, trustworthy, and affordable. I recommend it often. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
