The app constantly logs me out so that my "VPN on" shortcut in my drop down doesn't work until manually go back and log in. Also, usually when I do go back to log in, I find find it's stuck on the "Disconnecting..." page and never moves. I have to force stop the app through the Android app settings (and usually clear the cache) to get it to start up from a usable page. Otherwise, the VPN locations seem to work as intended, but overall it's more clunky than I'd like at times.

the ads make this unusable. why does a paid subscription based service have ads? make it make sense. Edit: So it turns out i was logged out of my premium account without me knowing. The free version will give you multiple lengthy ads before you can get to the actual app. Thanks to the support team for the response.

Don't waste your time installing this useless app, unless you plan on purchasing it! The first couple of times I used this app, it worked great! I haven't been able to connect since! I honestly believe, once they realize you're not gonna pay for this app, they basically cut you off. Besides, the free basic version is loaded with numerous adds! You watch this minute long add and then you close it and another add automatically appears. WHAT A JOKE!!! I'll be uninstalling this useless app, ASAP!
