Disappointed

Once came with a choice of countries now you have only fastest which for Australia is Australia the MOST shut down country in the world. Impossible to get anything now. Great decision guys. Would not get a sub bc of this move. 🙁

Doesn’t work in Russia

Love TunnelBear - lovely design, easy to use. Just a note to those who might be planning to use it in Russia - it gets blocked there. Lucky android users can turn Ghost Bear and this helps apparently, but iPhone users better look for other solutions

I used to like it.

I had the free version because I only used it when my fav band dropped new music. New songs and albums always hit the US 24 hours after Europe, Australia etc. and it ends up getting spoiled so I used the vpn to hear it when the rest of the world did. That option is now gone so I don’t really need the app anymore. I honestly can’t see paying for something I might only use a few times a year or not at all. It’s prob worth it if you are using it daily for other things though. It was good while it lasted.

Used to Love TunnelBear

I’ve had a paid subscription for years. This year I’ve had nothing but problems. It continually drops the connection & sometimes I can’t connect at all. I won’t be renewing my subscription.

Cannot verify

When I try to open the link to verify, it doesn’t load at all and therefore I can’t even login properly. I tried to open the link from all websites available (chrome, google, safari- all the same: just a blank loading page)

Used to be Free

Used to be able to connect to other countries for free with 2gb of data. No longer an option. Uninstalling.

TunnelBear

It keeps dropping off all by itself, especially when I am banking. It is useless and I want a refund!

These recent updates…

I’ve used TunneBear for lots of years now, but the recent updates made it a almost full paid service, so i couldn’t use an ip from another country now…So yeah, now this app is just space lost in disk, one star.

Rawr! 🐻 We’re sorry to hear the recent changes have left you feeling this way. We understand how disappointing it can be when a service you’ve used for years no longer provides the experience you enjoyed, especially when connecting through other countries was an important feature for you. 💛 We truly appreciate your long-time support and your honest feedback about feature access and overall value. Your comments will be shared with our bear team 🐻 as we continue working to improve the experience. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. 🌲✨

Thank you!!!

Update: The free version no longer allows connection to other countries. What a bummer. I loved using this app for album releases.

Previous: I’ve used this app twice to listen to a few songs on YouTube that are not available in my country. Anywho, thanks to the developers for making this app!!! The free version is very easy to use.
