What users are saying

1. I would definitely recommend this and give an extra star for automatic sign inHope in the future they will add more good stable features, for example when you destroy the app from the screen, so it can work in the background.

2. Cactus is great when it works but is litterally unusable on my other device.Overall a good app, excellent wireguard speeds and too-good-ease-of-use.

3. Good luck reconnecting, or even starting the app if your internet connection is interrupted.I have been with Cactus since the start and it's never let me down.

4. I just lost three charging hours because of the app running in the background and I almost suspect they are using clients as part of a botnet.

5. I have tried reinstalling, rebooting, This is not worth your money.It's good, connecting well, but it will bring speed down.

6. This app uses almost 4x as much of my phone battery when running in the background while having significantly fewer servers and a higher price per month.

7. I was able to validate a different ip address easily but unable to use the vpn as I didn't have access to the password t the time.

8. EDIT: IT'S A TOP NOTCH (FIVE STARS) VPN ONCE YOU SPEND TIME WITH IT.Dose not work.

9. I will not be renewing service once it expires.Have used this on laptop for some time now but new to this Android app.

10. Easy to install but wish I could set it to sign me in automatically like I can on the laptop so I don't need to remember my password.

11. P.S. That's what you andwered me, is not the answer, just do what people say, and then you will get more likes and our attentionWorks wonderfully on my phone never disconnected me even though I accidently left it on all night.
