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.

Distinct authors in 90 days. Happy users mostly praise in general terms, unhappy ones name details, so single topics collect more criticism.

Experience reports
Chosen by rule, never by hand: per platform at most 50 detailed reports of the last 12 months that describe a concrete experience, positive and negative in the ratio of the platform's stars. General praise or criticism without details is not shown. Short reviews are quoted in full, longer ones shortened to the passages with the experience (… marks cuts); the full review is behind the link.

Google Play 4 of 5 stars „really decent VPN just isn't the fastest for p2p which is what I've been needing the last year or so (+/- a bit) towards the end of my 1st 3 year sub so I might end up swapping not exactly sure yet“ − Speed + Overall impression

Google Play 5 of 5 stars „Bin zufrieden. Läuft bei mir immer im Hintergrund, gibt ein Gefühl von höherer Sicherheit und entsperrt ggf. Inhalte. Natürlich wird es dann ein bisschen langsamer, aber das ist in Ordnung so. Außerdem schaltet es teils regional beschränkte Inhalte frei.“ + Unblocking & censorship + Overall impression ○ Speed

Dedicated IP doesn't work for most countries you select, general servers work intermittently & only for some countries … Most servers are blacklisted by streaming services (legal ones, of course)“ − Unblocking & censorship − Connection stability − Availability
