User Reviews

Users appreciate Gear VPN for its open-source model, decent speed, affordability, and support for various server protocols. However, multiple users report app instability, including crashes on certain servers (notably Asian), auto-closing behavior, and connectivity issues. Some servers are slow or missing after updates. UI issues on small screens and occasional authentication failures also affect usability. Overall, while functional and promising, the app needs improvements in stability, server availability, and interface design.
