User reviews
Numerous issues: 1. App automatically starts EVERY time I unlock my phone and repeatedly thereafter. Please add an option to enable/disable this behaviour. 2. With notifications enabled, it doesn't tell me when it's disconnected. 3. Doesn't play nicely with other VPNs. I only use this one for work. 4. In Windows 11 it uses Internet Explorer for web links.

As many others have mentioned, issues for this Android VPN app are myriad and reiterated here: notifications, multiple failed attempts, app hangs and must be forced closed in Settings, app won't close or back out when not needed except by forced close under Settings, generally does not work reliably, stays on in the background if you forget about it, etc. Impressively bad app that my employer uses and requires (perhaps only required on our PCs). Never left a one-star app review before, FYI.....
