User Reviews

Users generally praised TunnelBear for being easy to use and historically reliable, with many noting it helped access geo-restricted content by switching countries. However, a large number of reviews report major stability and usability issues after recent updates: the on/off toggle and disconnect feature often fail, users are frequently signed out and forced to re‑log in, and key features like international country switching have been removed or gated behind payment without warning. Connectivity remains inconsistent or slow, and support or refunds appear lacking. Overall sentiment is mixed: strong past performance but growing reliability and policy concerns today.

Pros

Easy to use / user-friendly interface
Historically reliable and functional over years
Helps access geo-restricted content by switching countries
Positive overall user sentiment / loyalty

Cons

On/off toggle and disconnect often fail after recent updates
Frequent sign-outs and mandatory re-logins
Removal of geo-switching feature and forced paid upgrades without warning
Connectivity is inconsistent or slow; frequent reliability issues
Poor customer support and lack of refunds/clarification

It connects in the same country !

This app has worked consistently for the last few years. Really great overall. Using the iPhone version of the app - I am having an issue since the last update where I actually cannot disconnect the VPN and the only way to do so is logging out. When I click on the little slide bar as usual, instead of toggling off, the whole bottom bar slides up and prompts me to choose or change the selected country. I have tried many different tapping/sliding methods to no avail. I cannot see anywhere else in the app to disconnect the VPN or any easy way to contact customer service. Hoping this issue will be resolved soon 🤞

This app used to be great, but I have nothing but trouble with it now. First it kept logging itself out, now it constantly disconnects and the on/off toggle switch doesn’t work. I’m gonna have to shop for a new one.
