★★★★★
I've used this app for at least 10 years and paid only $10 to get the activation code to be able to view https sites. If you don't pay for the app you can only access http sites which is getting to be very few. You should have an above average knowledge about setting up a network connection and be able to follow instruction to use this app, or you will be one of the ones that write a review saying it doesn't work. They give very good instruction on how to get it to work. I think I had to disable one saved network to get it to work once and I either missed that in the instructions or it didn't say anything about it, but that part was just common sense. With the version I bought I have to contact them for a new activation code if I change phones, and it usually took a couple of days for a reply. This time it has been 5 days and no reply. I hope they didn't abandon giving support to the app because of all the dumbasses that were too stupid to own a computer. (That last sentence was a joke because a friend of mine use to own a computer store and when making repairs to software related issues there were many times when he wanted to tell the customer to take the computer back to where you bought it and tell them you want your money back because you're too stupid to own a computer.)

After a decade of struggling on Windows os and so on, I love how linux save my money, thank God, may the Devs live happily ever after :)

Great app! Only few apps like these work anymore and this app still works great to this day. I hope this app doesn't get abandoned!! It’s true it costs 9.99 but then your internet opens to the whole websites with https in it. I've used the app on different phones and never had to contact the devs. Always worked and ive been using this since 2019 and few phones... It pretty much sticks to tour google account for reinstalls
★★☆☆☆
Totally useless if you block https. I can't even test it properly to see if I want to buy the full version.
★★☆☆☆
I could not get it to work in Ubuntu 15.04 (linux) so I wrote to its support team twice and never received an answer and I still cannot get it to work! I tried it again with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS... It still does NOT work! I did at least get a response from support telling me the play store instructions are a few years out of date (why?) and that I should follow the instructions on the website. I tried them and they did not work. The installation file ends in an error and says to compile the node.js file first. I checked with Ubuntu about compiling the node.js file, and they say it does not need compiling because it is a JavaScript file and about 20 years out of date. They recommend the developer of the app to update it or better yet trash it and completely start over with up-to-date code.
★★☆☆☆
Works ok, but support is awful. Emailed 5 times to get new activation code when I replaced my phone, but no response. Supposed to have lifetime support.
