Good App

Absolutely free VPN. BTW just click the exit button to close the free-trial box. It will continue to run without it. I don't experience any ads that I am aware of but I have an ad-blocker and a no-script installed on my browser which may account for that. I get a better connection on public WiFi generally. Their Terms and Conditions state they do not keep log files of your actual IP address or sites accessed; and they do not sell your information for money. They are supposed to be paid by premium accounts and the ads generated which, like I previously stated I haven't really seen much of. Lastly, they allow p2p and torrenting, though they will collect your data if they get subpoenaed to for illegal downloads. Overall, excellent VPN app in my opinion.

Used it for a Month - Perfect

I've been using hotspot shield for about a month now. Very easy to connect and speed is amazing, Doesn't slow down any of my streaming, I used different vpns in the past and they all slowed down my internet speed.

Been using it for couple of years. I have an unlimited plan.

Bought the VPN Unlimited lifetime plan with some big discount. At first I thought that there's nothing to loose with a proposed price and it is always good to have a spare VPN at hand when needed. But I was really surprised about the service. Connection speeds, user support (although I don't need much of it but used it couple of times), choice of server's location. Everything is good and better than average VPN providers. I have tried a lot of them like CyberGhoust, BlackVPN, ibVPN (this one is good too), NordVPN. To my humble opinion VPN Unlimited is one of the best! I use several slots on different devices (mobile phone, PC, router, pfSense) and they can work for months without the need of rebooting and connection losing. The privacy concerns? Well, there are no VPN providers that will keep your data safe if they have a warrant. I'm absolutely sure that EVERY VPN provider keeps all the logs of all your connections. So you can't get 100% privacy while using bought VPN. You just have to keep that in mind. With time VPN Unlimited dramatically improves their application with new features added. So I can't say anything bad about that company.

Worst customer service, would not remove my card from their records.

Great for free beginners but don’t buy premium, you can get free version online as good or better than their premium. Also awful customer support, as they would not remove my card when I wanted to cancel my premium trial. DO NOT GET BETTERNET PREMIUM

This program sucks. App store wouldn't let it open.

Absolute failure to launch. I spent time downloading, offering my credit card info for this 'free' app, and it wouldn't even open despite repeated clicks. I am looking for a free VPN that actually functions. This one didn't.

Terrible VPN--don't take the bait

40.00 for a lifetime subscription may seem like a great deal, but not if it's a useless VPN. No indication when you ask for a refund after constant problems that they work through stack commerce--a no-refund policy company. Messed up my laptop and very very slow. I'd give 0 stars if I could. Stay away!!!
