I don’t know if this is even legal. I believe you have the right to stop on continue using their service when you want to. But instead, you are forced to be a reactivation fee, which is sometimes two or three times higher than the subscription fee it’s self ### 3/5 — I don’t know what the heck is going on with this app but it totally blackouted multiple times *2026-08-31, version 2026.22.0* I don’t know what the heck is going on with your Starlink app but it keeps going totally blank and the entire screen of the app is black and you can’t see anything at all and it has done this multiple times now and even after updating the software And I will also just state that people didn’t pay for other subscription to other types of security measures and VPNs so we have to disconnect them and they should work perfectly fine with all other types of applications and services and especially with today’s technologies and the help of artificial intelligence there shouldn’t be any problems with these types of apps and services working in conjunction with each other ### 3/5 — Adequate. Needs Device Controls *2026-08-25, version 2026.21.0* It works as expected. Bad weather affects coverage. As the parent of two teens with their own devices, I would like to be able to put specific devices on a regular sleep schedule. As it is, you have to manually pause and unpause specific devices to restrict their Wi-Fi access. If you pause a device, all the user has to do is “forget” your Wi-Fi network, reconnect, and they’re back on. The other option is to put the entire Starlink system on the same sleep schedule, which would include our wifi enabled security cameras and, for example, my laptop, which I may be working on late into the night for grad school, beyond when my kids devices would be in use. I also want individual devices and their names to be remembered. We enjoyed all these capabilities with our previous internet provider so I’m sure it’s possible for Starlink to achieve as well. ### 2/5 — Pause Feature *2026-08-25, version 2026.21.0* The pause feature has stopped working, I will you would add Mac filtering ### 3/5 — I don’t know what the heck is going on with this app but it totally blackouted multiple times *2026-08-23, version 2026.20.0* I’ve repeatedly told your support team that there is something very wrong going on with this app and the entire app went totally black and wouldn’t do anything at all for ages and I keep showing nothing but repeatedly getting totally disconnected and my antenna has a total clear view of the sky and I’ve got it elevated to a very high position and it is stable position support even told me that they would replace my antenna and router but I’d only just gotten this entire new antenna and router kit setup and then having to go through the entire setup process again is a huge nightmare and I am wondering why all of these different antenna aren’t all performance antennas like your top end kit setups so users don’t experience issues with their satellite signals And I will also just state that people didn’t pay for other subscription to other types of security measures and VPNs so we have to disconnect them and they should work perfectly fine with all other types of applications and services and especially with today’s technologies and the help of artificial intelligence there shouldn’t be any problems with these types of apps and services working in conjunction with each other ### 3/5 — Love it *2026-08-22, version 2026.20.0* I enjoy our Starlink very much. I’m just very disappointed on how the price has gone up so much. You would think if more people use it the price wouldn’t be so much. ### 2/5 — Fake speeds *2026-08-13, version 2026.19.0* I’ve been forced on my area to pay for Starlink. I get the same download speed at the highest tier, as the middle tiers. However they drop your connection way more if you don’t pay for the top tier. It’s a scam as I never get even close to 400MBPS they advertise. ### 3/5 — Potência ruim *2026-08-05* Achei que por ser satélite teria muito mais potencial mas não foi o que mostrou! Caí muito ! ### 1/5 — 8 Attempts to pay my bill! *2026-08-03, version 2026.17.0* The titles tells everything. The website will not accept the deletion of a phone number that does not accept text messages! Hence I am unable to change a credit card and pay my bill! I’ve tried changing the number but nothing! ### 5/5 — WE LOVE STARLINK *2026-07-31, version 2026.17.0* We had bell internet for 10 years and bell ripped us off the whole time for POOR SERVICE thank you STARLINK ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Be careful with billing *2026-09-01, version 2026.22.0* Tried to cancel 8 hours into a new month. Haven’t even turned the device on this month. 0gb usage. Will be getting charged the full $175 for the month, and Grok customer support claims they simply “can’t prorate, refund, or cancel mid-cycle for unused service”. They could, they just don’t want to. Any company with good customer service would give their customer a refund here. ### 1/5 — App and customer support terrible *2026-08-27, version 2026.22.0* Their system lost my account but kept charging and then refunding my bank account and then they deactivated my service and locked me out of my account. What a waste of time for a service that is average at best. They will have to pay me to have their services again. Stay away. There are better options ### 1/5 — Wow *2026-08-27, version 2026.21.0* Ridiculous!!! After spending 3 hours on the phone trying to solve the problem with the router on my RV they fixed nothing at customer service. Tired and searching for another provider. Cannot believe it was that convoluted!!! D o n e! ### 1/5 — Billed after cancellation *2026-08-26, version 2026.21.0* They continued to bill me after I canceled the service. Refused to give a refund. Beware ### 1/5 — WORST Customer service *2026-08-26, version 2026.21.0* We’ve been using starlink for the last year with no issues until this month. Starlink’s AI fagged our account for “violating terms of service due to patterns consistent with business use”. This caused an automatic restriction of our account, reduced internet speeds, and bricked/locked our personally purchased equipment. We obviously immediately reached out to customer service thinking there must be some mistake. Customer service repeatedly stated they could not help us even after escalating the ticket 3x to their “leadership team”. This “leadership team” could not explain why the account was flagged, what metrics they monitor to make this auto-determination, or offer any resolution other than switching to a business plan that would cost $500+ per month for worse service. We have been paying for “unlimited” service for the past year. One customer service rep mentioned that it could be due to increased data consumption over the last month. We are a family of 4 with casual internet use. Had Starlink simply reached out in regard to increased data consumption, we could’ve taken steps to solve the problem. Instead they just to brick our equipment, nerf our speeds, and cancel our service at the end of the billing cycle. TLDR; Unlimited data does not mean unlimited data. Starlink nerfed our speeds to 10mbps 10 days into our billing cycle, bricked our personally bought equipment making it non-transferable, and offered ZERO customer service support. ### 1/5 — Not worth the hype *2026-08-24, version 2026.21.0* Just awful, KIT codes dont work, impossible to activate starlink, get passes around support. Messy, very messy. Unorganised company, and faulty product. ### 1/5 — Reliable internet, horrible service *2026-08-20, version 2026.20.0* Takes days to get ahold of any customer service. The AI groq help tool is completely useless. Gives you instructions for things that don’t exist in the app or website. Very frustrating. Just another corporation making billions with little oversight of its operations. ### 1/5 — Can't Download *2026-08-18, version 2026.19.0* New customer. I tried downloading the app, entered my username and password, app recognized my account and sent an email verification code. I entered this, and the app just spins. Won't download. I've tried 4 times, 4 different verification codes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I called customer support; I opened a ticket on the website. Nothing is working. I hope their Internet service is better than their app. ### 1/5 — 0/5 customer service *2026-08-15, version 2026.19.0* AI bot that struggles to understand anything above basic questions and lacks tools to actually do anything for you. Once you as for a person to talk to they tell you they will call you back but will takes days to actually call and then they still manage to double charge ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2026-08-10, version 2026.18.0* To be totally honest when the service works it's the best. Key word "WHEN"! Service interrupts at least 3 to 5 times per hour and always at the worst time. Absolutely regret the purchase. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good but needs more *2026-08-26, version 2026.21.0* I wish we may turn off STARLINK from app . Also want to see how hot is terminal . So if there is hot I can turned off from my app and I don’t have to step out to my trunk and disconnect from power outlet . ### 5/5 — On the water *2026-08-23, version 2026.20.0* It’s been a lifesaver to have on the boat to keep the security system cameras accessible! I LOVE the pause feature when it’s time to put the boat on the dry for the off season and having the mini allows me to bring it with me when I’m traveling! ### 5/5 — Starlink is easy to set up and lightning fast! *2026-08-21, version 2026.20.0* I can set the mini on the ground in front of my house or use an inverter to plug in to the cigarette lighter in my pickup and use Starlink out in rural areas. Amazing! ### 5/5 — Melhorzinha que está tendo. *2026-08-15* Melhor internet que está tendo aqui no interior do Pará. Obrigado Elon musk. 🫡 ### 5/5 — STARLINK *2026-08-14, version 2026.19.0* Why would you waste your time with NBN for fiber. Outstanding service and value. ### 5/5 — Four years and still going strong *2026-08-10, version 2026.18.0* I have owned this Gen 2 Starlink for over four years and only a few minor glitches along the way. Reliability and speed is excellent. The only complaint is that it’s not a true mesh system. I bought two extra routers thinking that they would link in series but they both connect to the main router. I have the 200 Mbs service and although the speed seldom goes that high it’s plenty for reliable streaming and large downloads. ### 5/5 — 最高 *2026-08-09* 回線の速さは凄い👍 ### 5/5 — So much better than expected *2026-08-07, version 2026.18.0* I’m very into tech stuff and before this have tried other satellite based services out of curiosity. StarLink is so much better than I was expecting! The app is easy to use, updated often, and give you real time statistics so you can monitor your equipment in real time. I use my mini to cover me while traveling through mountains in my area and for all my data usage when I’m not at home. It’s so much faster than expected even when using the built in router, and with the mini mesh router things get even faster. The claim of being “low latency” is also something I was skeptical of but can say is definitely true. My home internet is symmetrical 2 gig and has a basically non existent latency sometimes into single digits. With the mini I’m seeing average latency times around 20ms which paired with 250mbps or more down and 20-30mbps up. To have that kind of service available anywhere and even while moving says it all, this is the next step in satellite based service. ### 5/5 — Great fast internet *2026-08-07, version 2026.17.0* Great service ### 5/5 — Gary Lowder *2026-08-03, version 2026.17.0* I’ve had Starlink now for 2 1/2 months. I switched over from T-Mobile before that I had Viastat. I am more satisfied with Starlink than I have with any other Provider out there. I’ve already set up one of my relatives and working on a couple more. Thank you Sterling. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
