For example, they can inform ChatGPT that the context of the translation task is computer network technology. Based on the Chinese translation, they can develop an app update that supports Chinese in future versions. ### 3/5 — DC after device standby *2024-03-26* After device wakes from standby the app wont work unless i manually reconnect it ! This happens after 1.8.10, my config file is working on SFA and SFW without this DC issue ### 3/5 — Slow!!! *2024-03-26* Very slow at finding the best connection ### 3/5 — Error! *2024-03-24* Just updated to 1.8.10 then it didn’t work. ### 3/5 — It consumes a lot of electricity to use *2024-03-21* It is very battery intensive to use, and although it is mostly done in the background or during events, the battery usage is very highIt is very battery intensive to use ### 3/5 — Can not import *2024-02-25* The iPad vision do not ask for notifications so it can not import profiles since it can not confirm at all. Maybe the iPhone vision is different? It just can not syncing to TV. ### 4/5 — Wish it have a widget , that’s convenient toggle *2024-06-01* Wish it have a widget , that’s convenient toggle ### 4/5 — Unable to connect after phone wakes up from standby *2024-03-17* If i put the phone into standby(turn off screen), then turn it on after a while, this still shows "vpn connected" but wont connect. Disable it then re-enable the app solves the problem. This bug is not a big issue but i does irritate me from time to time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-06-07* Gorgeous app, awesome experience. The well-defined rules are the best in the market. ### 5/5 — language *2024-04-18* Can you add a language pack for simplified Chinese? ### 5/5 — Minimalistic *2024-04-17* Minimalistic design, yet highly configurable, friendly to Devs ### 5/5 — Perfect proxy software, pure core experience *2024-04-16* If you are looking for a proxy software that allows flexible control of both inbound DNS routing and outbound traffic with just one configuration file, and offers rich protocol support as well as excellent cross-platform compatibility, sing-box is the best choice. ### 5/5 — amazing *2024-02-18* This is a very excellent software, but there are still some issues that need to be addressed. For example, when I toggle off or exit the sing-box, what I want is to switch back to the original network of macOS. However, if I do this, I find that all websites cannot be accessed when using the browser. I need to disable the proxy settings in the Wi-Fi in order to access them. These are some minor experiential issues. I hope they can help you optimize. Wishing you all the best and continued improvement. ### 5/5 — iOS17.3.1 doesn't work *2024-02-12* It does not work under iOS17.3.1, and there is no vpn icon after connection. ### 5/5 — Can you support the Chinese UI interface? *2024-01-21* Can you support the Chinese UI interface? ### 5/5 — Error Duplicated *2024-01-06* please fix error service duplicated outbound tag no problem in another apps ### 5/5 — Cannot working with VPN *2023-11-20* Start a vpn connection on MacOS, so it cannot work with another VPN connection at the same time. ### 5/5 — crash *2023-10-07* app disconnect unexpectedly after several updates the issue still remains --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
