Not cool at all ### 3/5 — ? *2020-04-04, version 3.4.1* The app used to let me watch a add for the steaming but now it doesn’t I don’t understand why it was better that way please change but overall great app! ### 2/5 — um *2020-02-16, version 3.3.8* I used to love this app last year but when i try use it again I noticed that now you have to pay to use the netflix vpns so now I have no use for this app ### 3/5 — US VPN isn't working *2020-02-14, version 3.3.7* A few days ago the VPN for US Netflix was working just fine. But now when I try to connect it just says it connecting and doesn't work and when I try to connect to Canada VPN it says that there is on internet connection. Please fix the issue I really like this VPN. **Developer response:** Hey, We fixed the US VPN this morning - sorry about this. We will investigate the issue with the Canada VPN too. Thanks Stealth Shield ### 3/5 — Can’t connect *2020-02-04, version 3.3.6* I can’t connect to the vpn. Every time I press on it, it takes me to an ad about vpn24. ### 4/5 — Unnecessary updates *2020-01-24, version 3.3.4* unnecessary updates, without which the program stops working **Developer response:** Hey, We update our app regularly to give the best experience to our users. If you are unhappy with the updates you can find another service that won’t update as often and won’t give you the best experience. Thanks Stealth Shield ### 4/5 — Disconnects *2019-11-20, version 3.2.0* Excellent but disconnects too often and that’s not good at all since internet security is what we’re all about ### 2/5 — Was really good, but...... *2019-10-15, version 3.1.9* This app worked perfectly. Then they updated it, and it stopped working. Then they updated it again promising to fix the last update and take it back to how it was before. It STILL will not work anymore. Whatever got changed, the app won’t do anything now. Otherwise would be 5 stars. **Developer response:** Hey, the app still works - it just takes longer to connect. The app still does quite a lot - if you wanted this resolved you should contact support. If not, sorry we may not be the VPN provider for you. ### 4/5 — Loved it but then… *2019-10-03, version 3.1.6* It was working for quite a while but out of nowhere it stops working and I keep on trying to get uk streaming for Netflix and it just says “connecting…” and once I wait for it to connect it goes back to saying”VPN off “ **Developer response:** Hey! We are working on a permanent fix but for the meantime it’s working! ### 4/5 — not working anymore *2019-09-13, version 3.1.6* ok so i downloaded this app yesterday and used it to stream UK netflix shows and it worked perfectly. i’m trying to do that now, but it doesn’t connect and keeps saying “user authentication failed.” it works with every other server but the netflix ones. what am i supposed to do? i really like this app but now it just doesn’t work anymore. **Developer response:** Hi, please let us know through the contact button in the app. We have fixed this issue and you should be able to use the UK Streaming server again. ### 2/5 — . *2019-09-10, version 3.1.6* It was working at first but than it just didn’t connect it would say connecting then it would say vpn off and it keeps doing this. ### 4/5 — proxies don’t connect *2019-07-19, version 3.1.3* whenever I click on another countries proxy to connect to, it doesn’t connect to my phone. however the netflix streaming DOES in fact connect **Developer response:** Hey, We are adding new proxies which are faster, thus we had to remove the old proxies. UK Netflix servers get blocked from time to time, please send a support email through the app and we will get this fixed. Thanks Stealth VPN Edit: As we mentioned in the email, we provide the most servers for any free VPN. In order to stay free we may need to reduce the amount of servers. We apologise if you are unhappy with the service. ### 3/5 — great for a while but.. *2019-07-16, version 3.1.3* i was so happy when i found this app. i was so excited when i could watch all the shows i wanted to watch on netflix and it worked for a couple months. now, it says ‘user authentication failed’. i’ve deleted it and downloaded it multiple times and yet it doesn’t work. i’m always up to date with this app because i love it so much but i’m so sad it doesn’t work anymore. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Add-Ridden and disconnects *2021-11-23, version 3.4.6* Randomly disconnects every 30 seconds… probaly wants me to watch another ad ### 1/5 — Absolute trash *2021-03-16, version 3.4.6* Only stays connected to the server for around 30 seconds at which point I have to go into the app and toggle it for another 30 seconds ### 1/5 — The worst VPN ever! Don't download! *2020-12-17, version 3.4.5* This used to be my favorite VPN because of all of the different locations available, but now the only thing it does is not connect to any server and play 30 ads in 5 minutes. I would recommend literally any of VPN instead of this one, it refuses to connect no matter how many times I click the connect button and watch ad after ad after ad. Seriously! Say yourself the trouble and skip downloading this one! **Developer response:** Hey, We would have appreciated if you contact support. We have ad free options available with a free trial. We are sorry to hear you think our VPN is the “worst ever”. We wish you luck finding another free VPN with the same amount of servers we provide. Thanks ### 1/5 — Trick *2020-07-18, version 3.4.5* I paid for pro features when this app first came out but now I’m being told I don’t have them if that’s the case I want my money back👍🏿 ### 1/5 — Extremely expensive *2020-03-28, version 3.4.0* Definitely one star app ### 1/5 — So bad *2020-01-30, version 3.3.6* It’s horrible! It’s not even connecting and showing me so many ad! ### 1/5 — Not for iPhone11 *2020-01-25, version 3.3.4* Currently impossible to use on iPhone 11. The close ad option can’t be reached because of screen borders so you’re left endlessly watching ads. Simple fix and should be addressed immediately. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t even turn on *2020-01-01, version 3.2.6* Every time I tried to start all it did was play another ad. After 5th AD I just deleted the whole thing ### 1/5 — And just like that they’ve completely ruined the app *2019-11-21, version 3.2.0* I figured it was just a matter of time before they remove options. The india vpn is now worthless. Proxies were better. UK streaming gone, hydra is useless. ### 2/5 — Good when connected *2020-02-21, version 3.3.9* It’s kind of hard to connect when every time you press a button it gives an ad and doesn’t connect ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the app but here’s a recommendation *2021-06-29, version 3.4.6* This app works great and I love it bought the lifetime subscription. I would love an option for the shared proxy and that would be for it to stay on even after you turn your phone on. I like using the proxy on my PlayStation but i dont like I have to keep my phone on all the time. Please allow us to stay connected even when our phone is locked. Thank you still love that app though ### 5/5 — Undetectable *2020-12-28, version 3.4.5* I can’t be detected with the vpn if I go use the hydra, which is all I was looking for with a free vpn, the ability to be undetected, thank you all so much (sometimes it doesn’t let me connect to the hydra through, please fix that, other then that thank you so much, I watch your ads without skipping once as gratitude) ### 5/5 — Thx *2020-08-02, version 3.4.5* This app is the best never had a such thing as a virus no more ### 5/5 — So far no hidden fees I love it *2019-12-04, version 3.2.0* Easy to use works GREAT! ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER period *2019-08-20, version 3.1.5* This is the best app I can watch UK NETFLIX That’s the best thing ever created ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can watch teen wolf and Jane the virgin season five ### 5/5 — Excellent but had issues *2019-06-22, version 3.1.1* The connection is interrupted several times during browsing ### 5/5 — Best App *2019-06-22, version 3.1.1* There are many ads that pop up. And the Netflix servers don’t work at all. Other than these issues, the app is the best. Really love it. ✌️ **Developer response:** Thanks for your review - the Netflix servers will not work if port 500 is in use. For most users this is not an issue. On restrictive networks you can go to the countries tab and search for streaming. You may connect to one of those servers in order to stream Netflix. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-06-21, version 3.1.1* Simple, minimal UI, and easy to use ### 5/5 — BEST FREE VPN *2019-06-21, version 3.1.1* The app is so amazing. I don’t even notice the ads. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-06-21, version 3.1.1* Works Nice and Smooth Connection --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
