Comments on NordVPN – fast VPN for privacy for Android

★★★★★ Michael Cordery · Oct 28, 2026
I have used Nord VPN for a number of years, and it is the best. It has added features in addition to being a VPN. A dedicated IP address, an excellent password manager and real protection from the Dark Web. Numerous packages offer VPNs as part of their software, but they are not a dedicated VPN offering as many external servers as Nord VPN. The cost is also modest for the protection given and can cover a number of devices.
★★★★☆ Neon Stack · Oct 29, 2026
Hiding the Disconnect button behind Pause is a terrible UI decision. The widget no longer has a Disconnect option either. Now I have to open the app, tap Pause, then Disconnect every time. This adds unnecessary steps to a simple action. Connecting and disconnecting should be equally easy. Please bring back a dedicated Disconnect button in both the app and the widget. The current design is much less user-friendly. Edit - Putting back 3 more stars as the disconnect buttons are finally back.
★★★★★ Donna Bishop · Oct 28, 2026
Husband set it up for my protection. Like that it works automatically in the background.
★★★★★ Andrew Shortland · Oct 17, 2026
I am very satisfied with the service, I have many options, and I'm educating myself on how to use them.
★★★★★ Simon o Riley (Simon o Riley) · Nov 6, 2026
Definitely one of the best VPN ever used, but I have something to say. When I run a video game while 'secured connection' is active, the ping skyrockets and goes abou 90ms ~199ms. Yes, it was a secured connection in my own country. Is it an error or is it something that I can fix? Let me know
★☆☆☆☆ Mohamed Saber · Oct 11, 2026
Worst VPN I’ve ever used! I paid for a 1-year subscription, yet NordVPN fails to connect 80–90% of the time on both mobile data and Wi-Fi. It constantly gets stuck on “Connecting.” Customer support only sends troubleshooting steps that don’t fix anything. Even free VPNs work better! I paid for a premium service and got a terrible experience. NordVPN Support: Please contact me directly and provide a real solution.
★☆☆☆☆ R W · Oct 11, 2026
Every single time I go to use this I am logged out. I can never remember my password and have to go through the whole reset process. What a useless app why can't it just save my credentials and never keep logging me out?

📱Why should you download NordVPN for your Android smartphone?📱

✔ Connect. Protect. Monitor.

Connect and browse the web freely, protect yourself from scams and phishing online, and monitor your personal information for leaks.

✔ Safer online

When you’re connected to a VPN, no one can see what websites you visit or files you download. Not even us — we have a no-log policy approved by independent practitioners.

✔ Enjoy a high-speed connection with NordLynx

It’s our special VPN protocol built on the backbone of WireGuard® to bring you blazing speeds and increased security.

✔ Shield yourself from malicious websites

Surf the web with confidence with NordVPN’s real-time protection. It blocks your access to malicious websites so you can read your daily news in peace — there’s less of a chance you’ll accidentally end up on a dangerous website.

✔ Part of your daily routine

Set up the auto-connect feature and never worry about forgetting your digital security. You can keep it always enabled or set it to connect to a VPN server only when you’re on an unknown Wi-Fi network.

📺Additional benefits for Android TV users! 📺

✔ Secure your movie nights

Enjoy the shows you love on your Android TV while protected by advanced encryption.

✔ Avoid interruptions

NordVPN protects you from traffic-based bandwidth throttling — your ISP won’t know where your internet traffic is going, so it won’t be able to slow you down based on it!

✔ Amazing VPN speeds

Thanks to our extensive server network and advanced VPN protocols, your security won’t interrupt your movies.

✔ Access your Android TV while away

Work trips have you longing for your TV back home? Use NordVPN’s Meshnet feature and connect to your devices wherever you are! It’s safe, fast, and reliable.
