  • Latest update completely locks out cellular data and WiFi connections - log out and log back in

    6/11/2025: everything was fine until the latest update. I had to delete this app in order to be able to connect to the cellular network and WiFi! After almost having a heart attack, I re-installed it, logged out and in and it works fine. 🤞 7/6/23 update: Everything started working fine again once I logged out of the app and back in again and also re-booted my iPad. Thanks, Developers, for the response! 6/28/23 update: service is laggy again especially when using apps like Substack. 2/15/23 It had been working fine for weeks but now can’t send texts in iPhone with app enabled.
  • Requires 16.0? No choice!

    If the app won’t work with any iOS other than 16.0 or newer, just say that. Don’t tell me I can download an unsupported version that will work with my iOS, because I’ve tried that and it still doesn’t work. It continues to tell me to update to the latest version, no matter what I do. I cannot use ProtonVPN at all now. I understand not wanting to support countless versions, but the version I used worked fine. It didn’t seem to require any support, but now it’s dead and I can’t use it. There are reasons why people can’t always update their iOS. Please rethink this. I like ProtonVPN and have used it for years, but will be forced to look for another solution if I cannot use a version that works with an older iOS. EDIT: holy smokes, read the latest reviews (filter by most critical or most recent). A LOT of negative feedback from the last update, followed by the developer response of “That doesn’t sound right.....” Maybe you should test your software thoroughly before uploading it to the App Store?

  • Constantly drops off

    I like proton but but it constantly drops off. I use public WiFi a lot when traveling and it’s irritating to think you’re protected just to find out your VPN dropped off and you’ve been using the WiFi unprotected. ExpressVPN never had drop off issues. Now I’m going to give NordVPN a try.
  • Needs split tunneling!

    By arachn0taurus
    I love Proton, I use it for email, drive, password manager, and VPN, but the iOS VPN app is WAY behind other VPNs because it lacks split tunneling! This is a must-have if I’m going to renew my subscription.

    60% off popup blocks app Update: Developer thinks I’m their secretary Update: Developer is proud of their spam. Will not fix app. Update: Developer is still very proud of spamming paying customers. Developer thinks I want to play with their spam. Try the Proton VPN widget. Try the Proton VPN widget. Try the Proton VPN widget. Try the Proton VPN widget.
  • Poor customer service

    They don’t have a chat feature or any way to contact them other than slow mo message. It took me ten minutes to get my username since they don’t tell you what it is and so I couldn’t use my vpn wasting time. Simple things like this are a miss with me. It doesn’t take good service to do basic things like chat and usernames. The kill switch doesn’t work. There is virtually no point to using a VPN without a Killswitch.
  • Fraudsters

    By JermTool
    They offer a 30 day refund but good luck getting them to act upon it or honor it. Their iOS App requires that it be “always-on” so when you try to disable VPN through Control Center, it won’t work. This feature alone makes it useless for me so I requested a refund and they keep ignoring my request. They are purposely trying to drag it out past the 30-days. Be warned that these people are a joke.
