RostamVPN now does two jobs. It carries your traffic through a private tunnel, and it checks where that traffic is going. PROTECT MODE While the VPN is on, Protect Mode checks the places your phone connects to against our threat list. Known malware and phishing destinations are blocked before your phone reaches them. It looks at network destinations. It does not scan your phone, your photos or your files. - See every blocked destination, when it happened, and why it was flagged. - Turn on block profiles for ads and trackers, adult content, or whole countries and regions. - A traffic view shows where your phone connects, busiest first. - Ask a plain question about your own traffic and get a plain answer. - One switch on the Home screen turns all of it off. YOU AGREE BEFORE ANYTHING IS CHECKED Protect Mode explains what leaves your phone before it leaves. While the VPN is on, the destinations your phone connects to and a device identifier are sent to RostamVPN so they can be checked. They are used for that check. We keep no browsing history. You can decline and keep using the VPN, and you can turn Protect Mode off at any time on the Home screen. THE VPN - One tap. No account, no email address, no password. - Connects on Wi-Fi, cellular and public networks. - Recovers on its own when a connection drops, and finds another route if one stops working. - Choose which region you come out in, or let the app pick the fastest one that works. - No ads, anywhere in the app. WHAT IT COSTS Your first three days are free. After that, RostamVPN Premium is a subscription billed monthly or yearly, at the price shown in the app in your own currency before you confirm anything. In Iran, Russia, Cuba and Syria the app is free. No payment screen is shown, nothing is counted, and there is nothing to decline or dismiss. The app works this out by itself — you do not have to ask, prove anything, or enter a code. That is a standing decision rather than a promotion; subscribers elsewhere cover it. If the app is meant to be free where you are and it asks you to pay, tell us. We would rather fix it than take the money. NOTHING TO HAND OVER No account, no email, no phone number, no name. We do not keep a record of the sites you visit. There is no sign-up to undo and no profile to delete. Removing the app removes everything on your phone. Privacy Policy: https://www.rostam.app/en/privacy/ SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. The Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy are both inside the app, on the subscription screen, so you can read them without leaving the app and without waiting for a website to load. Lost Premium after changing phone? An account code restores it. It creates no account and asks nothing else about you. iPhone and iPad. Requires iOS 15.6 or later.

PDFShift Pro is a flexible PDF workspace that lets you manage documents from the first scan to the final share on a single device. You can capture paper pages with your camera and instantly turn them into crisp, readable PDF files, without needing a desktop scanner. The app also allows you to create PDFs from images in your gallery, making it ideal for organizing notes, receipts, and other important photos into structured documents. You can merge multiple files into one, rearrange the page order, and rotate individual pages so every document stays neat and easy to follow. PDFShift Pro includes intuitive page editing tools that help you clean up layouts and keep your content clear and professional. A built‑in signature feature lets you sign contracts, agreements, and other official documents directly on your phone or tablet, eliminating print‑and‑scan routines. When your document is ready, you can export it in various formats and share it with teammates, clients, or save it straight to your favorite cloud service. The free version gives you a limited number of scans and editing actions so you can get familiar with the core workflow before committing. Upgrading removes these restrictions and unlocks more advanced editing, merging, and export options, allowing PDFShift Pro to handle both everyday paperwork and more demanding professional tasks with ease.
