Tapping into input fields won’t bring up keyboard! Up till now, it’s been pretty good and selection of different servers are good for free tier. ### 5/5 — Very Active *2026-08-05, version 3.13.1* Excellent ### 5/5 — exceptional *2026-08-03, version 3.13.1* Best vpn i’ve found 10gb for free is actually crazy yall are doing a service bless you ### 5/5 — Work in Russia! *2026-08-03, version 3.13.1* Thanks! ### 5/5 — Privacy is sexy *2026-08-03, version 3.13.1* This vpn is a trust worthy sexy beast of a vpn ### 5/5 — I love you *2026-08-03, version 3.13.1* Windscribe has saved my behind more times than I'm willing to admit. This VPN does everything and the team that run it are phenomenal. Very fair pricing and exceptional service ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-02, version 3.13.1* I don’t even pay for anything and this vpn is amazing. The speed is very fast and there alot of free options. Best part it works! Amazing app!! (And you can select what country but some are paid not all) ### 5/5 — Trust the app *2026-08-02, version 3.13.1* Very good app, with a sharp working! ### 5/5 — Windscribe *2026-08-01, version 3.13.1* Very good 👍 ### 5/5 — The best VPN and maybe my favorite piece of software ever *2026-07-31, version 3.13.1* These guys are the best. I’ve been a paid user for at least a decade and the team is so transparent and open. The apps (both this and the desktop and browser versions) keep getting better in both performance and look. Keep up the great work. ### 4/5 — Give more detail when I connect *2026-07-30, version 3.13.1* This will help me tell the progress of the connection being made. Sometimes I'm just waiting and watching the animation spin. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Windscribe please fix this *2026-08-21, version 3.13.1* I’ll be honest, this app is amazing when it comes to using vpn to watch Netflix shows outside of USA and i would recommend to people who need a few free vpns, however there’s major cons about this app that i need to address about and should be fixed. ~~Connection issues~~ - this is one the major issues with Windscribe, connecting to wifi with the vpn on is difficult and only works (sometimes) with streaming services and a few social media apps, but recently the connection has been disconnecting and not connecting to anything at all(to mention i have good wifi and usually connect to anything). ~~ 2FA login/automatically set it up for me~~ - i know this isn’t a major issue but i feel like i should mention this. If you have 2FA login on (meaning if they ask you for a 2FA verification code) and you don’t not have Pro or paid anything, you CANNOT login into your account at all!! The only issue that can fix this is to pay for the services they offer you + you cannot make a new account on your device at all because they do NOT allow it and it can lead to restrictions, which means if your already logged in on one devices you cannot login in to another one ( which is actually pretty frustrating ). These issues at least needs to be fixed because im aware i did not set up any 2FA verification and won’t allow me to disable it and causes me frustration and annoyance. Im not sure why this feature is not free to ones who don’t want to waste money. The “Garry” support helped me out me out bit and made me realize the root of the issues so good job for good support. ~~Another side note the “email optional” feature is not optional if on computer and not on mobile so its required if you want to make a new account (on a different device) ~~To summarize this review up this app is great if you want to use it to watch shows without pay and you can use some vpn, however it has connection issues + wanted to login on a another device is not possible (if you pay). Windscribe your app is great but these issues are affecting the experience of this app, & making users pay for subscriptions on this app. Please fix these issues ### 1/5 — Does not work do not waste your time *2026-08-21, version 3.13.1* No connections at all even when I used mobile data ### 1/5 — Ужас *2026-08-19, version 3.13.1* Впн не работает. Даже включить не могу. Зря потратил время. Ставлю заслуженную одну звезду, а хотя даже одной не заслужил. Но тут 0 звезд ставить нельзя. Поэтому это ужас полнейший не кому не советую. ### 1/5 — Never Connects *2026-08-15, version 3.13.1* Windscribe was working on my iPhone and not my iPad, but now it isn’t working on either, and nothing changed.. it acts like it connects, but my IP address and hometown stay the same. I tried the suggestions but nothing works.. there’s no conflicting VPNs, none of the other protocols work, and there is no “connect on demand” toggle that I can see. This is useless. Other VPNs work fine, so I’ll stick with those. ### 1/5 — Don’t work in Russia( *2026-08-14, version 3.13.1* :( ### 1/5 — “Kill switch” broken *2026-08-13, version 3.13.1* The VPN randomly stopped being connected but didn’t notify me, and despite having kill switch on, nothing stopped connected so my ip address was leaked for hours. ### 1/5 — The worst update *2026-08-10, version 3.13.1* Please update it again, the last update has so many issues and keeps closing ### 1/5 — Frequent Crashes Make the App Unusable *2026-08-03, version 3.13.1* The app crashes far too often on iPhone. It randomly closes while connecting or even during normal use, making it unreliable when I actually need a VPN. Please improve the stability and fix these frequent crashes. A VPN should be dependable, but this app is frustrating to use in its current state. ### 1/5 — Stopped being free randomly *2026-07-26, version 3.12.1* Never got the trial and it randomly stopped working wouldn't waste your time with the app nord VPN is better if your gonna spend money ### 1/5 — can't connect *2026-07-22, version 3.12.1* useless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best VPN ever *2026-08-25, version 3.13.1* After three years of using This fabulous VPN I recommend you if you’re leaving Iran, use this ### 5/5 — Best VPN *2026-08-25, version 3.13.1* I’ve tried several VPN’s but this one is by far the best and I’ve tried it to the many places that I’ve traveled and never had any problems with connection issues or speed. ### 5/5 — Top Drawer VPN *2026-08-23, version 3.13.1* I haven't seen anything like this VPN that has kept to their word and all the bases covered the way the developers for Windscribe have. Probably the most underrated application available for Apple products that can access the internet. THANK-YOU for keeping me informed and protected, Windscribe! ### 5/5 — Good News *2026-08-23, version 3.13.1* Windscribe is the best ### 5/5 — My review: *2026-08-20, version 3.13.1* The best VPN ever. ### 5/5 — BRUDDER *2026-08-19, version 3.13.1* LET ME TELL YOU SUMTHIN ABOUT THIS COMPANY BRUDDER. THESE HOSSES ARE LEGIT AS IT GETS. IF YOU WANT SMALL LETTER SISSY VPN APP THEN THIS AINT IT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO GIVE UR MONEY TO NOT ONLY A GREAT COMPANY BUT A GREAT COMPANY THAT OFFERS BIG LETTER PROTECTION WITH NON OF THE DATA LOGGINS THEN TIS ID PLACE FUR YOU. DEB PLEASE COME HOME. GOBBLESS ### 5/5 — Best VPN *2026-08-17, version 3.13.1* Windscribe is definitely the best vpn I’ve ever used ### 5/5 — I haven’t wanted to use any other VPN *2026-08-15, version 3.13.1* I bought a license with Windscribe about 8 or 9 years ago. I have used it extensively and it is an excellent service. In fact, the only problem I’ve had was when I set up my router to connect directly to Windscribe, left it connected and forgot about it. Over the next six? months or so I had trouble buying tickets online and noticed when I had to connect to Windscribe using a desktop client, I had to connect using TCP. Streaming services would occasionally get weird and not let me log in. When I thought my ISP had been sold (speed tests showed an ISP I had never heard of), I checked some settings and realized what I’d done and turned the VPN off on the router and everything worked normally. My point of the story is: I forgot I was piping ALL my traffic through a VPN b/c it was so fast! (And even the double tunnel worked OK, but not recommended) ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2026-08-06, version 3.13.1* Like the features. Easy to use. Use it a lot when traveling and even when not. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-05, version 3.13.1* Great app and service --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
