I have been using NORD VPN for about a year now - the price is absolutely wonderful for a three year sub, with 5 devices that can be used at the same time. You can even use this on your WW-DRT router and protect everything to which it connects! Servers all around the world - and they are FAST! I barely see ANY lag when using the VPN. Some sites will not allow me to use it and still log in (T-Mobile, My Bank, etc.). However…

The desktop version allows me to specify apps for which the VPN does not protect - called split tunneling. The app for iOS has NO such feature. When I contacted them to ask about it I got a terse response telling me that NordVPN does not use split tunneling at all. Obviously someone does not know there own product and needs to be retrained by management! If they would add the split tunneling option to the iOS app it would be a perfect 5 star rating. I have to disconnect the VPN so that I can check my email simply because the email servers at Spectrum (Charter) will not allow a connection through a VPN - at least not somewhere out of country (I have not tried anything here in the US). This is a real PITA - especially if I forget to disconnect first, then have to go BACK and try again, then reconnect again… and if under a severe time crunch it just holds me back.

Hello. Apologies for the inconvenience. In the future Split Tunneling might be available on iOS devices as well but unfortunately we don't have an ETA For this. As for your email issue, we can still try troubleshooting it, please contact our customer support team at support.nordvpn.com and we will check what we can do. -A.Z

I downloaded this app about a Month ago after I realized that I’m being tracked a lot and that freaked me out. It does not work if you get banned on Omegle though which was a let down for me but it is still useful for other things like just changing your IP address which is good for when trolls try to read out your ip to freak you out. It definitely makes me feel safer and fits my needs. It is definitely not needed if you don’t care about being tracked or having your information encrypted. Overall this app is very easy to use and easy to change your location which you can just tap and it changes. It has hundreds of servers all over the world which is nice. I have one account and have it on my phone and my pc and they aren’t synced so you can connect to one server on my phone and another on my pc and have different ip’s on different devices. I recommend
This app to paranoid people like me or people who are sick of letting people get ahold of their ip. One other reason I gave this 4 stars is because it is slow at times, most of the time it isn’t a issue but sometimes my browser wont load and I have to restart it. Not a huge issue as it is rare but I’m sure that they are working to make it faster.

TLDR: recommend this app to people who talk online to strangers a lot and don’t want people finding your address or if you have extra money and want a vpn for whatever reason

I paid for a year subscription bc I read reviews on this being one of the best vpn so I was willing to pay the enormously expensive price of $100 a year but I am already annoyed. The interface is not as user friendly. There is no kill switch. There definitely should be a signal header to show customers that the vpn is active bc all others that aren't even close to this price has a notification header that shows it to be active so I don't have to check while streaming. Going forward I now expect to lose my money but I have a website that I will post a worldwide review of the claims and finding after testing the effectiveness of this vpn for 90 days. Our office was recommended to try this vpn out and so far I am not seeing how this can charge so much without a kill switch or icon headers next to the connection to notify users that the software is doing its job. If updates are made or anything is found I will keep updating my review for potential customers to be aware all the while preparing the review that will go viral if this vpn service is not what is claimed to be. I have already taken all names of websites and their articles claiming this vpn is the best. Hopefully I don't have to prove them wrong but however I would have to make my money back outing Nordvpn if necessary.
Update: I change my review to up two stars bc I did see the vpn notification icon up top. I want to give it four stars so far.

Hello! The kill switch is simply “Connect on demand” iOS feature implemented into the application. Connect on Demand feature can be enabled by applying the following instructions:


1) Open the Settings menu.
2) Open the General menu.
3) Select the VPN cell.
4) Tap on the blue “i” icon next to your VPN name.
5) Turn on the Connect On Demand toggle switch.
What is more, you should see the “VPN” icon on the top left part of the Control Center if you're connected to a server of ours. Let us know if this information helps! -L.L.
