Normally I would give this 5 stars, but recently I've been having a couple problems. First off, sometimes my settings will be reset so I have to check first every time. But the main problem is that the app won't work a lot of times when I try connecting. I'll toggle the connect button and it will turn grenade but the sheep icon and map stays exactly how it was and never connects. I usually have to restart my phone before it will actually work right.

This app has recurring amnesia. Every time I update it on my Android, and even sometimes when I don't, it logs me out and forgets all about me. Even if I'm logged in, sometimes it arbitrarily decides I don't really have a paid account, and scolds me. It seems like a VPN service is a relatively simple thing, or at least the app that provides it ought to be simple, but somehow this app just gets worse over time. It's great when it works, but that's all too seldom.

This app worked great. Until it didn't. Now it won't turn on and I get a perpetual 'Oops, something went wrong. Please try again later'. I'm stuck in UK, and can't even connect there. Addendum: IDK what you did on your last app update, but now it works great for my Android. No more interfere with my truck interface and no more having to Uninstall and re-install to get it to work. Well done!
