User Reviews

NetShade is valued for strong privacy on public Wi‑Fi, easy setup, cross‑platform use, and generally fast performance, with many users able to access geo‑restricted content and rely on the app for security. However, reviews repeatedly cite problems on iOS: a limited, unreliable server list (UK servers often down), post‑update connection errors, and some devices (older iPhones) failing to connect. Support is seen as slow or unresponsive, and some users miss iOS features like a kill switch. Overall, security and speed are praised, but iOS server reliability and support need attention.

Pros

Strong privacy and security on public Wi-Fi, with location masking (appears as the US).
Easy setup and user-friendly experience across devices.
Cross-platform reliability: works well on Mac and iOS, with ongoing updates and support for older systems.
Fast VPN performance and efficient routing; often faster than local networks.
Responsive developer support and regular improvements.

Cons

iOS server list is limited and hard to manage; UK servers often down and some servers won’t connect.
Post-update VPN instability: new versions frequently cause connection errors.
Poor or slow customer support; slow responses to inquiries.
Incompatibility with older devices (e.g., iPhone 4S) and occasional connectivity issues on old hardware.
Missing iOS-specific features like a kill switch and related drop-notifications.

Had this VPN over 5 years and all of a sudden says expired. I’ve been emailing them a week to resolve and going around in circles-very frustrating and still no VPN.

Good luck trying to change the server listing on iOS. I've edited the server list on my MacBook Pro but I'll be damned if I can work out how to do it for my iPhone. I'd figure it out from the User Manual but for the fact there isn't one and the online Help offers no clues. It's frustrating as Netshade is excellent when the server you want is up and running.
