User reviews

This app sucks,misleading,and useless. I paid 30 USD, for what I thought was a 1 yr subscription. Why should I be forced to pay another fee, too enable the useful services of the application? I think the product packaging is very misleading. And the fonts are way to small too read. So basically I paid for a direct link too their servers. And if I wanted the service, I thought I paid for, I would need to pay an additional 79 USD? Also, I would need too grant full permissions for the app. Why?

A lack of technical transparency, in favor of usability, only obfuscates the consumer's ability to discern whether of not the "safe browsing" functionality is sufficient for their needs. If I'm using this app, I'm forced to decide whether or not this app should replace my VPN (which I've already paid for and am confident in its functionality meeting my needs). Since I can't use both at the same time (this software & ANY VPN), it leaves me concerned but mostly disappointed. UX is missing focus!

Joseph Johnson (Joe), 2024-02-15

I am having a problem with this app not showing that I am protected. I used to have a notification at all times that this app is constantly running. This started happening after I got a notification the other day from this app that "I paused my notifications," which I never did this. All I know is that the recent updates from Samsung Galaxy changed some of the preferred settings I like! I understand that this happens a lot, but really? I want this notification. Please fix this!
