I can’t use it. ### 1/5 — NO SUPPORT *2021-08-10, version 1.1.5* When you try to contact them, your email are undeliverable and there is no phone number. ### 1/5 — No detsil *2021-08-08, version 1.1.5* No detail in how to cancel race or end subscription. ### 1/5 — Help *2021-07-30, version 1.1.5* How do I get this off my phone. I haven’t even opened it yet. Can’t even open safari. It goes straight there . ### 1/5 — Don’t use *2021-07-30, version 1.1.5* Was sent a link from a company I was corresponding with so I could view some secure documents. They lie and say it’s free then make you pay money to even use the so called free app. I couldn’t even open the documents. I was eventually able to unsubscribe successfully though. App took over my phone and made it almost impossible to use even after I deleted the app and unsubscribe. Being as they don’t have how they use your private information, I’m suspecting this is malware of some sort. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not happy *2022-08-02, version 1.1.5* Never purchased this app…probably means my phone got hacked or acting weird due to a virus from this app ### 1/5 — it’s not free *2021-11-05, version 1.1.5* if you want a free vpn don’t choose this one. you get a 3 day free trial but then makes you pay for it later on. ### 1/5 — Monat *2021-11-05, version 1.1.5* Deceptive ### 1/5 — Please cancel *2021-11-02, version 1.1.5* It doesn't work on my phone. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2021-11-01, version 1.1.5* Tried to activate many times, downloaded app and reinstalled running an IPhone VPN continues to charge me 9.99 month. Trying to cancel subscription can’t get to it under settings on app or any other menu! Hope no one else has this experience ### 1/5 — Fake *2021-10-25, version 1.1.5* Literally all of these reviews say it’s free but once you go to turn on the VPN, it makes you choose a premium choice. Nothing for free. ### 1/5 — Cancel *2021-10-19, version 1.1.5* Have no idea what this app is or does? ### 1/5 — SCAM *2021-10-16, version 1.1.5* This app automatically sets up recurring automatic weekly payments and there’s no way to turn it off! Can’t contact them either.
