Welcome to Mobolize for iOS! Try out our newest features and help provide feedback on the cutting edge technology coming out of the Mobolize labs. All-in one Mobile Data Protection app built on our SmartVPN® technology that looks like a VPN but has the smarts that other VPN solutions lack, to deliver you the fastest, most secure and efficient mobile data experience possible. Three awesome features to protect and enhance mobile data on your device: PROTECT • Blocks malware and phishing sites in the browser/apps/email/texts to always keep you safe and secure. ENCRYPT • Protects your data privacy when using Wi-Fi by automatically encrypting unsecured content and ensuring your Wi-Fi connection is safe. • Works without breaking most VPN sensitive apps like streaming video services. BOND • Provides the best possible data connection by leveraging both the Wi-Fi and cellular data networks to keep your apps and services running continuously. • By intelligently augmenting poor performing Wi-Fi with cellular data, Wi-Fi dead zones are eliminated. Congested Wi-Fi is unclogged with load-balancing of Wi-Fi and cellular which provides seamless transitions when moving from Wi-Fi to cellular coverage for most apps and services. HOW IT WORKS • SmartVPN® technology automatically and intelligently applies threat protection, encryption and wifi+cell bonding only when necessary to ensure the fastest possible performance and most efficient battery usage of any VPN. • The "VPN" will be visible on the Status Bar while any of features are running. You will also see occasional notifications when status changes in the app and as you connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi. • Automatically encrypts your data when you connect to Wi-Fi networks. Avoids re-encrypting of HTTPS for faster performance, less battery usage and compatibility with all apps and video services. IMPORTANT NOTES • The Wi-Fi logo may disappear when the VPN is running, even though you are still connected to Wi-Fi. This is a known occurrence for all VPNs. To check you are still on Wi-Fi tap on your iPhone settings app and look at the Wi-Fi status. • Please note that if you check the data or battery usage on your phone, it may appear as though this app is using a lot of data and battery. However, this app isn’t actually using all that data/battery. Reporting for the data/battery usage has been shifted from your other apps to this one, because your data now passes through this app so it can manage your security and connectivity. Actual battery usage will be minimal – on average 0.1%. • Reporting an issue with the application is performed by tapping the Menu (upper right corner of the app) and then tapping ‘Report problem.’ When reporting a problem, please be as specific as you can.

Meridian is a set of privacy and network tools with a built-in VPN. The tools are free and need no account; Meridian Premium adds the VPN. AI NETWORK CHECK One tap checks your connection for leaks, protection and latency, then explains in plain words what to improve. On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence the verdict is written on the device. MY IP See what websites see about you: your public IP address, the network operator behind it, your approximate location and whether your connection is protected. PASSWORD CHECK Find out whether a password has turned up in known data breaches, and how strong it is. The password never leaves your device — only the first five characters of its hash are sent. PASSWORD GENERATOR A strong password in seconds: choose the length and character types, leave out look-alike characters, copy with one tap. Generated on the device and never sent anywhere. EMAIL BREACH CHECK Check whether your email address appeared in public breaches, which ones, when, and what leaked with it. The address goes straight to the XposedOrNot breach database; we never store it. SECRET NOTE Write a note and share a one-time link. The note is encrypted on your device and deleted after it is read or when the timer runs out. VPN Connect with one tap and choose a location from the list. MERIDIAN PREMIUM An optional auto-renewable subscription that turns on the VPN: Start (3 devices), Pro (5 devices) or Plus (7 devices), monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings. No sign-up is needed to subscribe, and Restore Purchases brings it back on a new device. PRIVACY The tools work without an account. Your traffic, the sites you visit and when you connect are not collected, sold or shared. Before first use the app shows exactly what it collects, and an account can be deleted in Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mobolize at none against Meridian's 6. Mobolize also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Meridian's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
