### 1/5 — Funktioniert seit langem nicht mehr

*2025-05-03, version 4.0.2*

Leider knapp der Verbindungsaufbau schon langem nicht mehr

### 1/5 — Unbedeutender VPN Anbieter der nichts gebacken bekommt.

*2025-01-29, version 4.0.2*

Steganos ist nur interessant da er so irrelevant ist dass dieser VPN bei keinem Anbieter auf dem Schirm ist. Sie sind aber so schlecht dass man sich nicht einmal registrieren kann nach der 7 Tage Testversion.

### 5/5 — Best VPN

*2025-01-25, version 4.0.2*

I have been using it for 2 months. It is very good for me. Very strong and more choice of server.

### 5/5 — Top

*2024-12-29, version 4.0.2*

Verstehe die Beiträge vor mir nicht läuft top alle Länder werden erkannt 🫡

### 1/5 — Absolut Müll

*2024-10-13, version 4.0.2*

Ich habe die Vollversion dieser App gekauft. 
Stelle ich als Land Argentinien ein wird Kanada angezeigt, stelle ich Türkei ein wird das Land nicht erkannt bei Google. 
Richtig lächerlich hätte das Geld auch aus dem Fenster schmeißen können

### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2024-05-07, version 4.0.2*

This app is amazing.

Don't believe me?

That's okay, I didn't believe it either before I tried their free trial.

These guys are the real deal when it comes to internet privacy in the modern cyberworld. I extensively researched the developer, Steganos, and combed through their website before I subscribed monthly for their VPN (this app).

Lastly, I will say the the icing on the cake is evidenced in their Privacy Policy.

I'm not sure if whoever is reading this right now is familiar with the type of Privacy Policies that the majority of companies have these days. They are extremely lengthy, full of completely unnecessary legal jargon, and terribly invasive. 

Steganos' Privacy Policy is one page long. That's it. And not only that, but also I found that I didn't need a dictionary at all to get through reading it, because it was written for normal humans to understand! Imagine that!

I will also add that this app works far better as a VPN than any of the other tens, if not hundreds, of VPN apps that I have tried for my iPhone.

### 1/5 — No permite iniciar sesión

*2024-02-12, version 4.0.0*

Cada vez que trato iniciar sesión a mi cuenta me da error 403

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2023-12-24, version 3.4.1*

Muy rápido, con acceso a servidores en países poco comunes.
Si no logras crear cuenta directamente en la app visita el sitio web.

Es de los mejores que he probado, sin problema compite con surfshark o nordvpn, en serio por el precio es excelente.

### 1/5 — so slowly

*2023-09-15, version 3.4.0*

many location server speeding internet very slowly 😒👎

### 1/5 — bad vpn

*2023-03-12*

some server location connection to vpn way to slowly 😒
