### 4/5 — No internet access

*2024-01-28*

Hello, 

 I was absolutely loving this application. And out of no where, my internet completely stopped working all together every time I turn it on. 

I also noticed last night that even tho I have it on, I have major dns leaks. 

It’s been a year since anyone has updated this. Can we fix this please.

### 4/5 — Hi

*2023-04-29*

Inglés: Why not have updated the application more?

**Developer response:** Hello, many thanks for using the app. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately our latest update has been bouncing back and forth in the approval process for the past 6 months - it seems that the powers that be, do not want to approve it.

### 3/5 — Need more info on company, developers

*2022-09-09, version 3.0.6*

The concept and purpose of the app sounds great for anyone concerned about online privacy. However, for me to personally trust it, I need more information about the company. Who is TylaByte? Where are they located? What are the names of the CEO and developers? Has an independent and reputable auditing firm verified the company and reviewed the app’s source code?  Such information is currently not published on their website.  Until this information is provided, I’m not sure I can trust this app and its local, on-device VPN to “see” all my network and internet activity. I’ll have no problem paying the subscription fee or even more than it currently is if I can trust the app and company behind it.

**Developer response:** Hi, many thanks for trying out our app and for your review. 

Finally, someone who takes their privacy seriously and is asking the right questions. We're amazed its taken someone so long to finally ask this. So here goes -

1. We're a company incorporated in Australia. Owned and run by Australians. The company's details can be obtained directly from the Australian Business Register.
2. We're just 2 guys doing this in our spare time - CEO, Developers, Designers etc - yes just us.
3. Names - sorry, no can do - that's the whole point of the privacy - works both ways, for you and us.
4. Code - is posted on github (and always has been) and is open source - it can be verified by anyone.
5. Code verified by an independent and reputable auditing firm - sorry, we can't afford that right now. But if you are / or work for a reputable auditing firm and would like to donate your time/ or your firm's time, please feel free to contact us using the contact form and we'll be happy to take up the offer.
6. Some of this information is available on our website, but we'll ensure that it's made clearer and available more easily.

Trust - has to be earned and we're happy to help with anything else that lets us earn yours.

You might want to give our new update a try (remember there is a 3 day free trial with both subscriptions). We are phase releasing it as I write this and it should be available worldwide by tomorrow. 

Hopefully, the bevy of added features will help to sway you to trust us.

Cheers
TulaByte team

### 5/5 — Unique Outstanding Design App!

*2022-05-26, version 2.2*

Believe it or not it’s Raining where I am located so I would like to take the time to get my ole Bones in out of the Rain for a moment to talk about this Unique 5 Star Design App! I truly appreciate and Thank the Developer’s for their time hard work and love they put into the coding of this software to protect you myself and our family! They made it simple to set up, but trust me it works! Why do you myself and our family need this? The words that have been invented in today’s Technology Scam Fraud and so on are made by Crooks who want our money and identity if they get that far! So if you take the Time to Read this Download this app give it a try I don’t believe you will be disappointed or sorry!! ( really ) Yes the app cost money but Technology is not free or cheap! So give it a try what do you have to loose? ( maybe more than the price of this app ) well time for me to move my ole Bones back into the Rain! But I really want to Thank the Developer , or Developer’s for such a great Idea and a truly unique outstanding amazing 5 Star App!! So with that I say Thanks and I Tip my Hat to you!! Yup a very Special App! Thanks
