User reviews
Didn't need to use a VPN for long, but when I did I got recommended TunnelBear. There were some hiccups here and there, but in the end of it all, I leave pleasently satisfied with the service. Would definitely recommend others and come back when I need a VPN again. P.S. There is a secret 'bear noises' feature in the settings menu that is off by default. I recommend switching it on for the full experience.

Great when it works, but it's an extremely inconsistent service. My biggest issue is the lack of feedback when it's having trouble connecting Some form of error message would make that easier to deal with. I've also run into issues where it will tell me I'm connected to a server, yet my IP information remains the same. Paid for a month, but cancelled the subscription not long after signing up.

Used to work great, now it doesn't work more than it does. Constantly disconnects. I shouldn't have to uninstall and reinstall the app as many times as I've had to get it to start working again. Many websites recognize the VPNs and won't let you connect to the site. I'll be glad when my subscription is up and I can be done with this app.
