Comments on Private Internet Access VPN for Android

★★★★★ Silas Richardson · Jun 12, 2026

It works great as of today. The only real issue I have is that I always have to check to make sure it's turned on. I prefer as soon as I turn my phone on or my computer that automatically sign in, and it doesn't always do that. Thanks. I had to turn on the automation tab. I will check when I get home from work today for my computer.

★★★★☆ danielcraig · Jun 22, 2026

I'm removing one star from by review because PIA never warns the account holder (the user with the email who created the account) that someone else has logged into PIA with your account details. PIA should add this and there needs to be a way to see how many devices you have on a plan, either through the app or website. Those are my issues with the VPN service, and I hope they will fix them. Aside from that, the VPN works as intended with lots of locations to choose from, and high speeds.

★★★★☆ W T · Jun 12, 2026

The bug was fixed. The connection seems to be more stable now.

★★★★★ DAVY EDINBURGH · Jun 13, 2026

Does what it says on the tin. Easy to install, easy to use, easy to customize. VPN that simply works.

★☆☆☆☆ Neal Hario · Jun 20, 2026

Won't stay connected. I'm on the latest version, and this has been a problem for the last several versions. At least 9/10 times I hit connect, it won't. If it does connect, 9/10 times it disconnects within 10 seconds. I've tried different locations and assisting settings, but it doesn't make a difference.

★★☆☆☆ Kevin Gardner · Jun 14, 2026

This app used to be amazing. For the last few months I have noticed I am unable to consistently get a VPN IP assigned, resulting in a dead connection. This is happening even after clearing storage and logging back in.

★★☆☆☆ Bart Mankiewicz · Jun 18, 2026

Horrible streaming lag. Tried different VPN locations. All poor performance. If you're planning on using this for streaming, don't bother.

★☆☆☆☆ Cole N · Jun 1, 2026

99% of my connection issues are from PIA, and it happens all the time
