VPN issue

I loved the idea of earning rewards for this app for doing basically nothing. I've had this app for about 3 months. About a month ago i slowly started experiencing internet connectivity issues when I leave WiFi. I have basically come to conclusion i have to restart my phone upon leaving WiFi every single time for my
Phone to connect to internet due to the VPN issue it has. Great app but not worth the hassle.

Hello, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ve been listening to all our feedback and are working on a new VPN that will be released in the next app update. We appreciate your patience and thank you for being part of the Pulse Panel.

VPN issues

This app was great for about a week and then my phone started acting so crazy, wouldn’t ever connect even when I had data or was around Wi-Fi. I got a hunch it could be this VPN thing (I didn’t even realize that this had been out on my phone until I saw it in my settings ) as soon as I disconnected it the phone worked fine. I really wanted to get the rewards but dealing with the VPN issue ans having to cut it off before even using the phone for anything was horribly annoying. The worst part is even though I would cut it off, it would constantly reconnect
Itself. It got to the point I was having to cut it off every 10 minutes just to use my phone and that was it. I couldn’t do it anymore. It’s a great app in theory, and I hope they can fix this issue. If they do I’ll be back.

Too many issues

I cashed out once for 5. Was easy to get there. However had to delete the app, was messing too much with my phone connection to the internet and messing up all of my other apps. Hopefully that will be fixed. Since deleting it my phone has not been having issues with the connection. Sucked to delete it, I was close to a minimum for another cash out

Don’t do it

Can’t disconnect the VPN because it automatically reconnects. Honestly don’t even remember why I downloaded the app, but it isn’t worth the headache.

Weird and misleading

I’ve had this app for probably two months now and when I hit the threshold to cash out I did. I chose PayPal and they sent me a PayPal voucher. There is nothing in their FAQs that addresses how to deal with this. WTH is a PayPal voucher? Is that just another scam way of avoiding paying people what you said you would? I cashed out over a month ago and I still have not received any thing or any response to my questions. I took a screenshot for evidence.
