1. 5/5Ads Version

   At first you see thus believe the only way to use is to gain access to there Free Trial Offer, Afterwhich if you don’t unsubscribe by the allotted time you get put on the hook for the fee for service. However, I finally decided to swipe right/left all the way to the end of the 3 sliding screens (••• = 3 Screens; Dots located at bottom of each slide but above the bottom non moving margin/ banner that dictates use of there trial/fee service ) once you arrive at the end aka the last screen aka dot #3 there’s the option to use an ads based variation to there alternate fee based version. Just in case anyone thought you had only one option, now you’ll know you don’t. I just happened to stumble upon the access section for the ads version of which is of course FREE 24/7 but yet limited as to what I assume the fee based version provides.

2. 1/5DO NOT TRY FREE TRIAL!

   My husband downloaded this app for me while traveling abroad this past Aug. We agreed to the 7 day free trial. We decided it wasn’t worth it and cancelled the service BEFORE the free trial ended and just realized they have been charging my card monthly. Even though the Apple subscription page AND the their app both say I cancelled Aug 6th. They have charged me for 4 months. They refunded me for Oct and Nov but said their records show we just cancelled the service this week! LIES. I have screen shotted the cancellation and provided it for them 4 times and they still claim that the APPLE store messed up. Ummmm no. The Apple Store didn’t continue to charge my card. They also say there is nothing they can do because it’s 45 days past the other charges so I can not dispute them!!! It’s not the money, it’s the fact that they are calling us liars when we have proof of cancelation and they do not have proof that we agreed to continue the service! I logged onto the app for the first time this week to figure out what in the world was going on with the charges!!! There is no telephone number to call, no direct resource to a person, just repeated email correspondences from different people telling me that this is my fault and not theirs. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP OR TRY THE FREE TRIAL. They just want your credit card number to illegally charge you.

3. 1/5Not even good as the free VPN app

   I subscribed this app and paid the monthly fee after the 7-day free trial. It works ok (sometimes not working) for less than three weeks. And then not able to connecting at all. Every time it said “something went wrong” or just connecting for a while then gave up (appeared like I never clicked the connect), or some other words but no be able to connect. So I tried to contact the support team but it insisted asked me to set up a “mail account”??? I have my email address registered already. What does that supposed to mean? So I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. Funny thing is that it won’t allow me to “install profile” in setting. When I clicked “install profile”, it jumped to the VPN setting page and no matter what I chose, the app stayed the same, at the “install profile” page. After more than fifty times of this repeating process, I gave up. I was not be able to contact the support team nor be able to connect or set up the VPN configuration. Worst part is I’m paying for this “not working” service. I tried a free VPN. It works just fine. Not sure why I purchased this app in first place. 1 star is a compliment to its function. It should earn no star at all.

4. 2/5Needs improvement...

   Okay so the only reason I use this app is because our school’s WiFi blocked basically every social media app that TEENS USE EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES. Here’s the deal. Sometimes whenever I open Snapchat the Betternet app just randomly disconnects and then every time I try to send my streaks or even so much as one snap, the VPN app tears up my service and my streaks take decades to send. Sometimes I even have to turn off both the app and the WiFi in order for my snaps to be able to send more quickly. Yeah that doesn’t help either, because sometimes the app reconnects itself even when I’m using data and just makes the service even worse. I’ve also tried deleting and reinstalling the app several times, and it only works on occasion or when I’m on any other WiFi other than the school’s WiFi. The general gravity of this situation is that this app just ruins my service and I hate it. Every time I’m somewhere where Snapchat is blocked on their WiFi, BETTERNET WORSENS THE SERVICE! IT’S SUPPOSED TO IMPROVE THE SERVICE NOT DETERIORATE IT! It’s called BETTERnet for a reason! This app needs a lot of adjustments.

5. 1/5A few problems

   I’ve noticed some problems. For example, the majority of the time I need to turn it off when searching something and then turn it back on after it loads. Something about not having permission to the server, even if it’s just a simple google search. Also, it gets annoying how every two hours it gives me the “turn betties into free time” page even if I’m supposed to get fifteen hours of free time, and that time hasn’t even run out yet. It’s just annoying at this point, and unnecessary. I do however like the fact how it gives you free time every day, but seeing the page for it every two hours isn’t ideal. Another problem I’ve noticed, is that it tends to make things take forever to load. If I want to use Pandora, but have it on, it takes forever to load. This is for both WiFi and data usage. There’s also certain WiFis I’ve noticed it has some major issues with. Long story short, this VPN isn’t very useful and has a lot of problems. If you want semi-good, free VPN, then this is great if you’re willing to deal with everything mentioned above. I understand free VPNs aren’t as good as paid ones, but this one is just ridiculous.
