The best, but be wary

By Shufei (Pcmac user)

When the app upgraded to version 3.0.0, it simply did not work on either iOS 11.4.1 nor 12. I tested several strategies for attempting to load profiles, including several clean installs. Version 3.0.2 now works cleanly with iOS 12.1. However, given the apparently rash rollout of 3, users should be cautious about future updates. Without the ability to roll back a version, apple leaves one exposed. That said, the new version is now working with much needed changes to the UI and ways to load a profile. There is a simple graph for data rates, helping to confirm the handy IP address indicators. All in all, looking good, and so far holding a stable connection. This user thanks the devs of the app for this global service. But likewise hopes that update rollouts to mobile devices will be more circumspect in the future.
Poor since version 3

By R4ND0MN!CKN4M3 (Pcmac user)

This app was reliable. No more. Since the new graphical interface came, it acts so poorly. I often encounter issues when the app can’t connect to the VPN server at all. Mostly happens when I’ve turned off cellular data and using wifi, when I activate cellular again I’m unable to connect to the VPN server through cellular. Recently it also happens when I turn off airplane mode in the morning when I wake up, again can’t connect. I need to reboot my iPhone, sometimes even twice. When I check the logs it just freezes at some point after sending the tunnel encryption algorithms to be used. I check the same server on my laptop and it connects without issues. It doesn’t even matter if it’s on TCP 443 or UDP 1194. The previous version used to work great for so many years, then suddenly this update came out, looks like just a change for the sake of changing. The tunnel is disconnected few seconds after the phone screen is off. It’s annoying. And with this new graphical interface the amount of info given on the screen has been reduced. We no longer see the amount of data sent or received live. I use the app every single day for most of the time I am using the internet. It’s very, very disappointing.
Second Failed Update in a row

By Mikedams (Pcmac user)

I updated the app from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5 a while ago and I started having connection dropping issue. It will still shows the vpn icon, and even after checking the event log I do not see any disconnect event. Sometimes, it will tell me authentication failed, but when I hit connect again it gets connected without any issue. I updated to the recent version 1.2.6, hoping all issues will be sorted out, but still having same issues. When I was on 1.2.4 I had no issues at all except the seamless connection. Example: I am on wifi at someplace, then I leave it, get it in my car, drive, vpn re-established connection while on cellular, I arrive home, my phone gets on home wifi automatically, the vpn then re-establishe connection again. Anyone, would assume that vpn connection now is over wifi...but this is wrong, it re-established the connection to my cellular provider. I found about this accidentally. I have a shared family data plan. One month my data usage was 16gb, my average is like 1-2 gb. I had to check my data usage before and after work until I spotted the issue.

3.0.2 Good work 👍🏼 1.2.6 When going to sleep and coming back it will connect but no flow from the internet The problem when the Seamless tunnel (iOS8+) is ON Please fix this ————————————— After updating to the latest version 1.2.5 it so buggy, cant edit names , disconnects from wifi to cellular always , if adding new scripts it will not work! 😳 It will block FaceTime from calling or receiving a call audio or video 😳 Please fix this It drains the battery like a hell , 24% ,first in the list in 24 hour NEEDS AN UPDATE... Needs an iPhone X screen size support. --- Finally an update after 2 years, with an optimization for iPhone 6 or 6 plus screen size Pause Solution 👇🏼 -To Solve the pause issue in iOS8 when switching between WiFi and Cellular : You have to choose both option Seamless tunnel (iOS8+) And Layer 2 Reachability And it will work fine
