User Reviews

Users largely praise Betternet for reliable performance and easy use, along with strong privacy features. However, many reviews criticize the app’s monetization model: intrusive, long ads; time-based limits and paywalls that force purchases; and ad-related glitches that disrupt usage (redirects, reset times, inability to watch ads). A few users note improvements over time, though negative experiences with ads and gating dominate the common concerns.

Betternet has gone from one of the best VPNs I've used, and had installed for years, to an absolute p!ss take. It went from watch one or two ads for 30 minutes of free time to watch three non-skipable minute long ads to get a mere 15 minutes. I'm finding another vpn. Don't bother with this one.
