Summary

This mobile app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to persistent connection issues and frequent demands for re-authentication. Users report critical bugs, including the "missing required input parameters" error, especially on MacBooks, and complete VPN blockage following the 6.1.10 update. While some users praise the core VPN functionality when it works and appreciate a clean interface, common complaints highlight poor device compatibility and a frustrating login process. Many users also express a strong preference for older, more stable legacy versions of the application.
