Reviews for NordVPN – fast VPN for privacy

Just updating my previous rating of 3 stars back to 5 as I’ve found the previous issue I had had nothing to do with the app nor with Nord’s VPN service at all (and I managed to fix it separately). Not sure if their previous reply offering help remains after the review update, so I’d […]

Well… it’s a VPN. On the bright side, it’s protected me from lots of trackers and sketchy sites. On the not-so-bright side, I constantly have to go into the app to reconnect to a new server since I constantly get disconnected. For context, on really bad days, I’ll need to refresh it multiple times in […]

Every time the app needs an update, its shuts off my connection and I get an error message saying that my “account limit was reached” and that I need 2 sign in thru my Google Play account. I never made 2 separate accounts: my email and Google Play subscription should all be associated to the […]

I run NORD on a variety of devices including my Android phone, a Chrome Book, several Fire Sticks and 2 Windows computers. I have found the security it provides comforting. I have had to open a number access points for a number apps that do not work through a VPN. I have also had a […]

This app will shove ad notifications down your throat. Literally every day I get emails (not a big deal) and notifications (a deal-breaker) soliciting services and products I am not interested in. I have very few notifications on my phone and only want to receive them if they are actually things that require my attention, […]

It was a 4* app. Worked for what I needed, even though it slowed down my connection 20% and is not the easiest to set up on multiple devices. Now that they are getting rid of meshnet I won’t have use for the app as those were the best features that were hard to find […]

I live in Germany most of the time; when I turn on VPN there, Frankfurt is selected for me—that’s understandable. But if I’m in another country, Finland, Spain, or even the USA or Vietnam, and I turn on a quick connection, then for some reason Germany is selected; that’s definitely not the best option. If […]

this app is horrible!! it did not perform as intended. it was significantly slow no matter what I tried. & they DO NOT reimburse you if you request refund, unless bought from actual site. if downloaded from Google play store they’ll tell you you don’t not fall under the refund policy. this is in regards […]

I was offered a 3 day free trial with a discounted yearly rate. after accepting the trial it immediately charged my account for the full year at the full price. I tried getting a refund when I noticed a $100 transaction hit my account 2 minutes later but it was denied. I will never use […]

Truth be told, this app SUCKS! Works nothing like the PC version. It won’t allow connectings to anything from Amazon, bank apps, store apps, or games. You have to constantly pause to gain access. White listing these apps defeats the purpose of masking my IP address. Needs a lot of work. Unstalling until they get […]

Nord has removed their “Report a problem” link from the app and I have spent the last 10 MINUTES on their Help site trying to find out how to open a case! “Contact Us” just leads back to Help Center! Enter email to start chat gets “(ErrorPrefix) This doesn’t look quite right” but it’s my […]

It will randomly get stuck “connecting”, blocking all notifications and, occasionally, even texts. The VPN connections are hit or miss. They’ll randomly slow down, and I’ll have to refresh my connection. The mobile version is garbage, honestly. It works fine on my computers. I would have switched providers a long time ago if I hadn’t […]

Easy to use but the phone app doesn’t allow or show which state is in use. That addition would be great. Thanks. This is an update on the desktop interface. I do not like it because you can’t open the different regions and countries. Please back the old interface it was better thank you. Another […]

I’m leaving feedback here for the desktop app because there’s no feedback option anywhere on it or on the webpage. The UX of the desktop app keeps getting worse. The map was way more useful than a search bar. The new drop down to pause the connection which HIDES the disconnect button is the last […]

EDIT: To those who end up with the same problem, go straight to the Help Center LIVE CHAT, skip going to the other stuff, and they’ll settle it quickly. They handled my issue in like five minutes. OLD REVIEW: It took my payment but it is saying I am logged in on a different account […]

Really annoying that I have to turn on notifications to get my connection status to show in my notification bar, but then i get constant obnoxious marketing notifications that I do not want to receive, and I can’t enable one without the other. edit: down to 1 star, every time I open the app it […]

“Voicemail error”. What a doozy, I’ve not received any voicemails for the past week once I installed this. I put two and two together and realized this started once I installed the app. It works great on laptop, but a big NO on my mobile device. I turned it off and all my voicemails came […]

This service does what it says. My ISP was randomly blocking stuff I normally use or access for NO REASON and with no warning. The only issue I have with the app is that it gets stuck on connecting and stays there. This is a common known issue that Reddit forums have been talking about. […]

Excellent fast connections the vast majority of the time. On the rare occasions you connect to a dragger, it’s quick and easy to reconnect for a better speed. But you should be able to turn on automatically when you connect to any wifi BUT my home network. I know *my* wifi is secure, any others […]

It definitely slows your connection down. Also… You want the notifications on so you know what’s going on… But they take advantage of that by bombarding you with promotional ads via app notification. Every day I get 2-4 notifications about promotional pricing (I already signed up for a year), dedicated IP, whatever else they want […]
