Ratings and reviews

In the old version of the app, as soon as I open the app, I could just press the ENTER button on the keyboard to connect to the VPN (I use a PC keyboard on my Android device). It was very fast and convenient. However, on the latest new version of RiseUp VPN for Android, it no longer connects if I press ENTER as soon as I open the app, instead opens the menu instead. I have to select the DOWN ARROW on the keyboard to select the connect button, then I could press ENTER to connect. Please fix!

Used to work without issue and now unfortunately cannot connect at all. Updating certificate when prompted doesn't actually update, just sends into a loading loop with no resolution. Shows key icon in upper notification bar while in loading loop and prevents any connectivity at all. Will wait up to 20 minutes, still no connection. Haven't been able to connect at all for several months now.

Seems trustworthy, a few times I had some problems and needed to turn off some additional features, or uninstall smd reinstall... there was a security certificate that was expiring sometimes that a reinstall seemed to fix as well. I mostly used it as a general VPN rather than for potentially important activist activities that might sometimes need more security. It seems like a great option for low income people who may have a need.
