User Reviews

Athena offers a powerful firewall + DNS ad blocker with strong traffic control, non-root support, security features, and attractive pricing, plus DNS customization. However, multiple reviews note reliability and stability problems—disconnects, crashes, and inconsistent operation—that can render it unusable on some devices. When it runs smoothly, it’s regarded as one of the best in its category, but stability and cross-device consistency are recurring drawbacks.

Pros

Powerful feature set: firewall, DNS ad blocker, with granular control over network traffic.
Non-root support (Shizuku) and security protections for edits (fingerprint/pin/pattern).
Free version has no ads; paid version is reasonably priced.
DNS customization options (custom DNS lists and DNS selection).

Cons

Reliability issues: frequent disconnects and instability that interrupt core functionality.
Crashes and bugs, including when enabling logs or in rooted configurations.
Some users report the app does not work at all or feels useless on their device.
