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 confirm they also offered tech support (which I didn't use because I mistakenly believed the issue to be a standard limitation of their service, but it wasn't). So, again, great service and everything works fine.

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 a single YouTube short. I've had a Nord subscription for around a year now (if memory serves me right) but I feel like it has gotten FAR worse as of recent. I hope they can fix the disconnecting.

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 same account. This is the 3rd time this has happened in the last few months, after never having any previous issues with it. Their support was also completely useless and just repeated the same thing.

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 number of issues on my desktop with reports of a file with multiple file extensions, but it will not assist me in locating and dealing with that issue. I would recommend Nord VPN if you have security issues.

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, not yet another way that companies bombard me with ads. I am paying $99/year for this service. It is not free. It should not be ad-supported.

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 anywhere else. It was good while it lasted...

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 I turn on NordVPN, the speed immediately drops significantly. After a year of use, I canceled the subscription

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 to the phone app. I can't speak for PCs

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 this service again. not even during the year I was charged for.

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 it right.
