That tells us right there what a scam this company is. They lie in plain site. Just like mongers do ?!? Do you have any dark websites ? I bet you do. Hopefully fbi or more stop you ### 1/5 — 🚨DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR AGREE TO FREE TRIAL‼️ *2024-10-21* 🚨🚨🚨 I downloaded this app and subscribed to a FREE 7 day trial and IMMEDIATELY they tried to charge $24.99! There was no free trial it is a bait and switch! I was charged IMMEDIATELY … Thank God my card was locked because I also IMMEDIATELY got hit with 78(SEVENTY EIGHT) charges from APPLE, GOOGLE PLAY(I have an iPhone), TIK TOK (I’ve never had a TikTok account) TELEGRAM(I don’t have or use telegram), & GOOGLE POPPO LIVE (I have no idea what poppo live is), after subscribing to the “free trial” associated with the app I’m currently writing a review for…I can only presume that these were Spoofed accounts to steal money link to this app🤷🏾‍♀️ DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR AGREE TO FREE TRIAL‼️ **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your concerns. We're deeply sorry for your experience. For any unauthorized charges, we recommend reaching out to your financial institution and app store for assistance. You can always opt out of the trial before your first payment date without paying anything.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. We aim to provide a valuable service and appreciate your input on how we can improve. We offer a free trial. If you have further concerns or suggestions, please let us know. Your satisfaction is important to us. ### 1/5 — Misleading App Price - NOT FREE! *2024-07-30* This app claims to be a free VPN, with "unlimited free connections". It's clearly NOT free, as it starts at $49.99/year. I would rather pay for a decent VPN from a company that doesn't lie in its description. Offer a free VPN with limited connections, perhaps, and then offer more with a paid subscription. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any confusion regarding our pricing. We appreciate your suggestion and are always striving to improve our service. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or need assistance. ### 1/5 — Shelter VPN *2023-06-11* Doesn’t connect on demand I have to manually turn it on multiple times a day:( **Developer response:** Hello! We're too sorry to hear that. Please get in touch with us at info@cooptimizeit.com so we can help! Could you let us know if you're using the free or premium servers? Cheers. ### 1/5 — 🙃 *2022-11-21* dosent work **Developer response:** Hello! We're too sorry to hear that. Please get in touch with us at info@cooptimizeit.com so we can help! Could you let us know if you're using the free or premium servers? Cheers. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t Work w/ Apple’s VPN Button *2024-12-21* Seems to work fine enough, but unfortunately won’t turn on if you click the VPN option from your Apple quick bar. Would be nice for the developer to update this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
