It’s feature rich and easy to use. My only request is that there be better in app information about various settings and icons. ### 5/5 — Five Star *2026-10-03, version 3.14.2* One of my most used apps, for going on seven years now. Maybe more! I love the flags, if they EVER remove those, well, I for one won’t be happy. Happy to be a paid subscriber to this fab app. Five star! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-10-01, version 3.14.1* Kinda found the best vpn ### 5/5 — Love *2026-09-30, version 3.14.1* My go to for 5+ years ### 5/5 — Most have VPN if you live in dictatorships *2026-09-30, version 3.14.1* If you live in Iran, russia, china and such. This is the best vpn. They keep updating protocols and adding new features to patch governments’ tweaking to block VPNs. ### 5/5 — Happy with it! *2026-09-30, version 3.14.1* I never heard about them before and when looking for a VPN that I didn’t have to use Paddle to pay it I found them. The price is good and I feel they protect my information. I recommend them. ### 5/5 — Spot on *2026-09-26* The chat bot, GARRY, is beyond the best imagination of anything gone before. This type of company ‘message’ to not be some faceless answering text service is so user led that it takes a new form all of itself: GARRY was joking with me about labor division, government coups & PayPal billing, you couldn’t make this level of hilarious up. Great job you lot over there ➡️ ### 5/5 — Great VPN *2026-09-24, version 3.14.1* Great VPN ### 5/5 — Best and Cheapest *2026-09-24, version 3.14.1* You can get $3 per month with unlimited data even with P2P. Honestly best VPN I’ve ever used. Even the support AI is helpful. ### 1/5 — not good anymore *2026-09-23, version 3.14.1* with the recent updates i cant connect with windscribe but when i install older versions on pc i can connect! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Отвратительное приложение *2026-10-13, version 3.14.2* При выключении VPN кнопкой в Центре управления он сразу же сам включается обратно. Никакие изменения настроек не помогают. Категорически не рекомендую. ### 1/5 — No more $3.99 Plan?? *2026-10-11, version 3.14.2* I got a message saying my card couldn’t be charged. Went to my account to see what’s the deal but I only see an option to upgrade pro for $8.99 / month??? Jfc this app has been so buggy lately it’s not worth $70 every year cmon! ### 1/5 — Lost subscription with no warning forced to pay more *2026-10-11* No humans to help only a bot with no solutions **Developer response:** Subscriptions do not vanish for fun. If the App Store receipt or account changed, support needs account details we cannot handle in a review. Contact windscribe.com/support with your username and Apple receipt, and ask the bot to escalate if it is not solving it. ### 1/5 — Worst update experience after iOS upgrade *2026-10-05, version 3.14.2* Can’t wait for subscription to expire in December so I can move to another VPN. After you update iOS you have to delete this piece of garbage snd download it again otherwise the app hangs when updating itself and BLOCKS ALL INTERNET connectivity! When you finally get it downloaded and working - it constantly give you Safari cannot open site because address is invalid when you click on a link. Same link works perfectly when on Proton or PIA VPN! ### 1/5 — Definitely do not buy *2026-10-04, version 3.14.2* Support is unresponsive; even when you provide professional evidence-such as logs-showing the issue lies on their end, they don't acknowledge it. Do not buy this product; it is unsuitable for Iranians, especially gamers. ### 1/5 — If I could give 0 stars I would *2026-09-30* If I could give 0 stars I would **Developer response:** Powerful review. Very specific. If there is an actual issue hiding behind the zero-star energy, tell us what broke at windscribe.com/support and we can help. ### 1/5 — фу *2026-09-30, version 3.14.1* не работает, раньше работал, а теперь когда я включаю его, начинает инет лагать👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — VPN kept turning itself back on in iOS Settings *2026-09-29, version 3.14.1* Windscribe made my phone essentially unusable after data ran out. Even after I repeatedly turned the VPN off in iOS Settings, it kept turning itself back on, blocking internet access on both Wi-Fi and cellular. This was incredibly difficult to troubleshoot as I didn’t realize Windscribe was on. A manual disconnect should override auto-connect, especially when the VPN can no longer pass traffic. ### 1/5 — Worst thing ever *2026-09-27* Does not connect. I bought a paid plan, tried everything their “support” told me and nothing is working and it won’t issue a refund because I “cannot login” as their “rate is limited”. Literally the worst vpn ever, I use a free one that is working no problem. Do not waste your time and money **Developer response:** That sounds properly broken, especially on a paid plan. App Store reviews do not expose account details, so we can't fix or refund it from here. Please hit windscribe.com/support again and mention the login rate-limit loop. Give us the account email or username and we'll sort the connection issue or refund path. ### 1/5 — Terrible support *2026-09-24, version 3.14.1* Received a failed payment and cannot get past the annoying AI chat bot as it seems to be coded to never hand over to an actual human. Frustrating seeing as the issue is not even with my bank and the chat bot is useless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — WindScribe app can be free (up to 10Gb/month) *2026-10-26* I have used this app for a couple of years and so far it works in the U.K. The real test will be to stream tv channels abroad without any problems. This VPN app is free on certain servers but to access all servers you have to pay. Other VPNs claim to work abroad but either cause buffering and shut off after 30 minutes (no use for something which is a minimum of 45 or 90 minutes long) or are blocked because of geographical restrictions (i.e. the VPN doesn’t work). Does not work with all tv apps but does on some. This is not the cheapest paid service available. Once set up it is fairly simple to use when you have selected favourites in the location you use most. I have never run out of data (10Gb) yet. ### 5/5 — O melhor! *2026-10-17* Olha, eu dificilmente encontro um serviço que me satisfaz de forma tão completa como a Windscribe! Meus parabéns! 👏🏻 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-10-16, version 3.14.2* Excellent and easy to use every single time. ### 5/5 — Technically prowess and an advanced sense of humor *2026-10-13, version 3.14.2* I’ve used this VPN for over a decade on 6 continents. It works as well as or better than more popular or better known products, which I’ve also used. The only thing they need is a better marketing campaign because they’re a well kept secret. ### 5/5 — Fast *2026-10-10, version 3.14.2* Very fast and reliable. I love you❤️ ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2026-10-10* I’ve used it for years. Cannot imagine my life without it. I travel a lot and this software is brilliant. Worth every penny **Developer response:** Thanks for the continued support. ### 5/5 — Best VPN to have *2026-10-09, version 3.14.2* In my opinion Windscribe is the best hands down. It’s easy to use and gets the job done. It even has a free version with a good amount of vpn security each month. But it’s worth the price to get more control and security.This can be used it would wide to keep your data secure. Choose where you want your location to be simple and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-10-08, version 3.14.2* Always reliable ### 5/5 — عالی *2026-10-04, version 3.14.2* بسیار عالی ### 5/5 — Absolute best *2026-10-03, version 3.14.2* Have been using this for the last few years and this is the absolute best --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
