## What users report

Ratings on platforms are not representative and sometimes manipulated; they never count as evidence for facts. People mostly write when something goes wrong: hardly anyone posts “KYC was easy and worked right away”, but ten users with verification problems do, often because a step was missed. So we never weigh criticism on its own, only against other offers in the same category. Only the average ratings on App Store, Google Play and Trustpilot count towards our score, damped and compared within the category. Single reports and community posts do not, so the score cannot be swayed by bought reviews.

- App Store: 4.5 / 5 (8100 ratings, 2026-10-31)
- Google Play: 4.5 / 5 (39100 ratings, 2026-10-31)
- Trustpilot: 4.2 / 5 (1025 ratings, 2026-10-31)

- App Store · 5 of 5 stars · 16 Oct 2026: „United Kingdom not working! United Kingdom doesn't work! I've tried it with ITV, BBC etc and I get the same thing "sorry something went wrong". I've sent them messages but nothing yet, no response and problem still there!…“ [Read on App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id953040671?see-all=reviews)
- Google Play · 5 of 5 stars · 3 Oct 2026: „hide.me VPN's speed is a little bit slower than proton VPN & windscribe, its free servers options are fewer than proton VPN & Windscribe. But it's one of the reliable & trustworthy Free VPNs left in the world. Most VPNs won't work until you're charged with exorbitant subscription fees“ [Read on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hideme.android.vpn&gl=us&hl=en&reviewId=f29232f7-97cf-48f6-9995-8e5f08f79bbb)

- Google Play · 5 of 5 stars · 18 Jul 2026: „App arbeitet ohne Verbindungsabbrüche. Viele Länder stehen zur Auswahl und Sicherheit ist top. … Unternehmen hat seinen Sitz in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) daher erfolgt kein Datenaustausch in die USA. Somit auch keine Schnueffelei durch die 14 Eyes Staaten, da Protokolle der User nämlich nicht aufgzeichnet werden.…“ [Read on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hideme.android.vpn&gl=de&hl=de&reviewId=7b7b3007-5d89-459c-a064-e9a7bc93d7fc)
