Lately it has had a difficult time connecting with a server when on iPhone or iPad, and when/if ut does, it is randomly deactivated while running in the background without any notice. What good does that do? When running the version for computers, it never connects and just shows “error”. Please update this app!!! ### 4/5 — Great *2021-05-10, version 2.6.3* The app is such a great one and lovely it works perfectly . ### 2/5 — No longer will connect ios14 *2020-09-22, version 2.6.3* No longer connecting with ios14 ### 2/5 — PrivateWifiForAOL *2019-07-22, version 2.6.3* It Just disappeared last week. Can’t get it back, It freezes! It worked for months before that! ### 2/5 — Probably needs an update *2018-03-11, version 2.6* At first this app was great, but lately it has not been working. When I try to open the app it exits back out and the VPN won’t turn on at all. ### 1/5 — Extremely Slow *2017-03-30, version 1.3* Installed on an iPhone 5 running iOS 10.2. On my home network the iPhone broadband speed is about 64 Mbps with VPN disabled. When VPN is enabled the broadband speed is .8 Mbps making it virtually useless. ### 1/5 — Zzzyyyaaaqqq *2016-06-30, version 1.3* This app is terrible Does not load properly. Support is garbage ### 5/5 — WiFi protection *2016-02-29, version 1.3* Cannot get any better than this, thanks ### 1/5 — Doesn't even open *2015-12-13, version 1.3* Once you input your email address, it tries to load and then quickly returns to the email input page. Every time. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-11-07, version 1.3* I tried 15 times deleting and installing and it wouldn't work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Supposed to be free with AOL total advantage platinum plus *2022-04-22, version 2.6.3* The service is supposed to be free and covered under my AOL total advantage platinum plus subscription, but it says my subscription has expired and wants me to pay for it. Why is that? ### 1/5 — Supposed to be free *2022-04-18, version 2.6.3* I have AOL Gold account with benefits. This app is supposed to be free but I can only activate if I pay for the app. Rip off! ### 1/5 — App not working I *2021-01-11, version 2.6.3* I just added this app and I can’t get past the sign on screen. I put my email address like it ask. Then I get an error message saying that the password is invalid. I can’t get past this screen. I was never ask for a password. What is the fix for this issue? ### 1/5 — Only displays horizontal on iPad *2020-04-30, version 2.6.3* This app only displays horizontal on my iPad and does not rotate to display vertically which is very annoying. Please fix this and I will up my rating. ### 1/5 — When call for info, got sold unrelated products by computer *2020-04-07, version 2.6.3* The most poorly explained site I have ever used. I am dropping. Shame on designers. ### 1/5 — Baffled *2020-02-29, version 2.6.3* When I open the mobile app and it asks for my email address...I enter it and hit submit then a box pops up and says the password is incorrect??? I can’t get past this screen...how does this work? ### 1/5 — Needs something *2019-11-20, version 2.6.3* Got a new phone and am unable to reactivate service. Uninstalling and reinstalling did absolutely nothing. Waiting on customer service ### 1/5 — Can’t even log in *2019-07-14, version 2.6* Error message reads account on my account. I’ve had my account for 20 years and I can’t find it?? ### 1/5 — Forgotten *2019-03-31, version 2.6* The app had worked adequately, but AOL discontinued the service. Now that it’s again supported by AOL, I have made countless attempts to reactivate. AOL customer support did not succeed, and never followed up. I no longer desire AOL, but will retain the service until I can archive my email history ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-08-15, version 2.6* Very unreliable, when I need it the most it fails! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-09-22, version 3.0* After being hacked last year , it’s a great feeling knowing my data is protected ### 5/5 — Excellent privacy protection *2023-09-03, version 3.0* The app is easy to use and protects your privacy.
