What users are saying

1. It seems to especially struggle with staying connected when going from wifi to data and vice versa.Please fix the issue of not getting any phone notifications when the VPN is on.

2. I have recommended ExpressVPN to so many people and now I feel bad since they can no longer solve the problem with spending time in China! VERY DISSAPPOINTED!Whenever I try to login to the app I get an error message saying 'Check connection and try again later'.

3. I'm supposedly connected to an East Coast USA server (tried different ones), but I get search results and newsfeeds for Australia.This app is a waste of money.

4. I did notice at times it seems I'm connected to a location different from what I selected, but that hasn't caused any major problem.

5. When I do the process to turn off auto renew, I still end up getting charged later for the next month and have to contact customer support to get a reduced.

6. What I discovered (and if you are a user check yourself!) was inconsistency with the location of the server you are connecting to actually being in that location.

7. When I turn the VPN off I get a whole flood of notifications on my phone.

8. I know connection and account is good because everything else on phone works and account works fine on PC.

9. Not to mention virtually every Google search requires a captcha these days, and many sites will not even allow access with ExpressVPN turned on.

10. In addition, the Google search results location and newsfeed are messed up.

11. Notifications have been severely delayed for a week now, which I noticed because I received zero notifications overnight, which is highly unusual.
