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.

Evaluating VPNs before subscribing, but TunnelBear made the choice easy. I’m going elsewhere. The app has been saying “Free data refreshes today” for days, yet nothing resets. Tried logging out, reinstalling, clearing cache - no luck. If the free plan can’t even refresh properly, I can’t trust the paid one to be reliable.

seems to be very buggy, loves to disconnect me but more annoyingly it likes to tell me it's connected when it isn't. I'm not expecting much from this app but it's currently failing at almost every step.
