Ratings and reviews

Drains battery fast (by my phone's oem notification - about 50 mah per 20 min). Overall good app but maybe make it more efficient by making vpn mode run only then i need it in certain app and then turning off completely when i close it. Currently it works all the time and also breaks connection of some other trafficked apps, until manually turned off even tho i supposedly excluded everything besides a few specific apps in vpn mode's settings.

*update: Tracked down some info somewhere suggesting to put 8.8.8.8 in remote dns field. Been working since. Not sure it's a shadowsocks issue so giving back some stars. Better help would be nice.* Well it used to work. Now it doesn't. Reinstalled three times now. Failed to detect internet connection. Unable to resolve host. Nonsense. Unstable and unreliable for days. Every once in awhile it works for some reason, then goes back to not working again.

To users who are complaining about slow speed, this app is only a CLIENT for a PROTOCOL. which means, this app DOES NOT provide services on itself !!!! so if your speed is slow or whatever, contact the person you've bought your service from instead of leaving one star reviews on an app that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the slow servers you're using.
