Review summary

User reviews split into positives about speed, reliability, and free access, but reveal frequent stability problems. The top negatives include: repeated crashes and inability to connect across devices, CAPTCHA/ad interruptions, device-specific compatibility issues (notably iOS 15 and certain iPhone/Android TV setups), and free-tier limitations plus confusing subscriptions. Overall, some users enjoy long-term use, while many report intermittent outages and friction from ads and CAPTCHA workflows.

Pros

Fast speeds and smooth performance (low lag, good bandwidth)
Free-to-use option with decent performance and accessibility
Reliable for some users over long periods (stable operation for years)

Cons

Frequent crashes and connection failures across devices/OS (iPhone, Android TV, etc.) and after relogin
Captcha checks and ads disrupt usage (robot tests, multiple CAPTCHAs, ad prompts)
Platform compatibility issues on iOS versions/devices (e.g., iOS 15 incompatibility, iPhone 13 Pro Max crashes) and Android TV issues
Free tier limitations and subscription problems (time limits on free usage, VIP upgrade/removal confusion)
General unreliability/outages reported by multiple users (inconsistent connectivity, not working at times)

2026-02-10	sh*****	I downloaded this software using the US ID app and it worked fine. However, when I logged out of the US IDapp and logged into the Chinese IDapp, the software kept crashing! However, I'll still give you a 5-star rating, since it's free to use!
