Comments on Shadowsocks for Android

★★★★★ Ilia Baryshnikov · Apr 10, 2024

Great app, would be great if you could change the notification icon -- it looks almost exactly as telegram

To users who are complaining about slow speed, this app is only a CLIENT for a PROTOCOL. Which means, this app DOES NOT provide services on itself !!!! So if your speed is slow or whatever, contact the person you've bought your service from instead of leaving one-star reviews on an app that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the slow servers you're using.

Thanks for this application. It is great when using Internet behind corporate firewalls. However, recently the VPN mode stopped working for Internet connections. It works for local ips in the server location only. Proxy mode still works fine. So I'm using Firefox and foxy proxy. So I'm guessing it's a phone issue, not really an app issue. Phone is a Samsung s21 running android 13

Never good And when you turn it on The internet never works truly And The one it provides does not work well I used to play it while watching YouTube He never worked He told me there is no connection I am really sad And I really hoped it would turn out to be good But I hope to respond to an evaluation that I may not know how to use And this is necessary Please I will travel soon, and I want a solution as soon as possible. Or should I open it, and I do not use the mobile I hope for the rent 💗✨💗
