## Review summary

Reviewers praise Stash for a clean UI, ease of setup, and strong performance in restricted networks. However, recurring concerns include subscription-link handling limitations, UI reliability on certain devices, and update-related issues affecting connectivity or battery use. Overall, it’s seen as powerful and valuable, but with notable edge-case problems that updates should address.

### Pros

- Clean, attractive UI with a minimal, uncluttered feel
- Reliable performance in restricted networks (notably China and under strong censorship)
- Easy setup and quick rule creation
- Generally positive sentiment and perceived value for money

### Cons

- Subscription-link management limitations: cannot edit added links and cannot set a custom User-Agent
- UI launch bugs on Mac and iPad (start button missing or misbehaving)
- Device-specific issues: some users report connectivity problems (e.g., iPad cannot connect to server) and occasional battery drain after updates
- Some update/install issues on iOS (e.g., 17.x install/update problems)
