Said that it doesn’t support my region ### 2/5 — App works but is misleading *2018-10-04, version 1.3.1* On the main settings page, they let you select the city or country that you want to connect to. I tried different locations but all kept connecting to the same IP address in a different country than the one I selected. The app misleads you into believing it’s connecting to other places but each time, my IP was a provider in the UK. ### 1/5 — Mediocre at best *2018-10-01, version 1.3.1* Didn’t work in my location and won’t let me restore purchase, I don’t know if I am still paying or not. ### 3/5 — The optimal location feature is glitching. *2018-09-24, version 1.3.1* Dear Wuijibang Technology and the moderators of the VPN servers, I have a problem. When I connect to the server, it automatically disconnects after an hour. But most importantly on the free version, THE IP ADDRESS USED FOR YOUR VPN IS A CANADIAN VPN instead of the US server. By that, optimal location is set by default, and I feel like this is an error. I try to connect to the US server in my optimal location (of course it’s America,) but it gives me a Canadian VPN. Sure it does work fine, but I just want you to connect a server that is INDEED near the optimal location. Sorry if I overemphasized that much, but please fix this. - THOMAS LIND ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-09-23, version 1.3.1* Recomended only for iPhone.. i like this 😘 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — disgusting *2023-01-06, version 1.6.3* We Iranians are heavily filtered and I downloaded this vpn with great difficulty, but this vpn has also banned my country!
