It works ok and speeds are fine but you have to babysit it constantly as it constantly disconnects and won't reconnect automatically regardless of what settings you have configured. Seems to do better if you don't jump access points so fine if you don't wander or travel the floor of a building. At the end of the day you can't trust it to protect your data since it can't reliably stay connected. I will not be re-upping my sub, despite using it for a long time.

I love the desktop version so I thought I'd try the app and it is awful. You're limited by time (30 min) instead of data usage and with an ad popping up every time I do anything or don't do anything (ad would pop up everytime I receive a notification from Facebook, email, etc then take two additional seconds to tell me I can go back to browsing, and then giving me yet another ad when I go to check said notification), it is literally unusable. Such a shame since the desktop version is awesome.

Seems to work well most of the time. Sometimes the connection is slow requiring a quick reset by disconnecting and then reconnecting. Some apps will not work with Hotspot shield ON. If you disconnect, it will reconnect automatically. There needs to be a fix to this other than going into your App manager to force stop the App. Just recently with the latest update, there are a lot more disruptive adds every time you open an app.

Sorry to hear you're having connection issues. Have you tried these things yet?: Open Hotspot Shield's menu - Tap Quit, then Yes. Go to your device Settings, then Applications - HotspotShield and tap Storage and "Clear Data" then Delete. Start Hotspot Shield again. Contact us if you need more help: https://goo.gl/NS9bDF
