User Reviews for Phone Guardian Safe Mobile VPN

Conflict discovered

With all the mobile security issues out there, I decided to install Phone Guardian and was very pleased with its performance until I tried to access my TD Bank mobile app. It appeared that the app wasn’t working, returning an error message stating “we’re working on their problem”. Having experienced a glitch or 2 with TD before, I wasn’t terribly concerned, figuring the problem would be rectified shortly. After about a week with the same issue, I thought to turn off the VPN in settings … TD still didn’t work. I called my local branch and the TD main CS number, but no issue had been reported. At that point, I decided to delete the VPN app, and when I did, the TD app started working again!I don’t know if there’s a conflict with any other VPN app, but I can state that Phone Guardian won’t work with TD Mobile. I’ve sent a secure message to TDCS… let’s see if there’s a fix! Now I’m reporting the issue to you. I was really liking this app until I found this conflict. Any ideas developers? My dog is named Max too! Fix it and I’ll give you 5 stars!

Has caused me some problems

It’s a great app, for giving you a free VPN. However, after I got the app, I began having issues with my WiFi. I would go into my settings to join the network, it would say I’m connected, but I wasn’t actually connected. (And yes, I did tell the app that it was a network I could trust.) The first time this happened, I ended up having to do something to my WiFi box, forcing the whole house to disconnect and I got into an argument with my brother over Fortnite. It kept happening, so I ended up looking it up. It told me to try disconnecting from my VPN, so I went into the app. I tried searching everywhere I could think to disconnect; I was pretty much forced to delete the app. And wouldn’t you know it, I went into my settings, tried to connect to WiFi, and bam! Not sure if it was an issue with the app itself, or I just unknowingly did something inside the app that caused that to happen. Wanted to share this either way, in the case that someone else was experiencing the same problem as me.

It’s a good vpn I guess?

Like many others I’m not 100% on this app. Downloaded it a few years ago and tbh didn’t see a change or anything. Now that I’m older yeah ok it helped. Younger me didn’t not know that pop ads on a random website you went too were viruses and phone guardian made sure my phone was protected so yeah. My only thing is that I’m not even sure if this actually a vpn sence you don’t have to subscribe or anything or if who tooo care if that virus was apples ani virus protection. Another thing witch I don’t think it’s this app it may have been my wifi sence this week has been good was my wifi, last week and the week before it wasn’t working good. Mind you I didn’t check phone guardian so there’s that. I also wanna say my tablet was acting weird so I downloaded phone guardian and will see how much it helped. I will stay with phone guardian doing for now as I can’t pay for a vpn. Great app just needs some minor work but overall if your looking for a vpn that will help block out virus and stuff I would get this. Dosnt not run down the battery so that’s good. Ty for reading

Wifi problems

Alright, don’t get me wrong I really like this app! It always tells me what it’s protecting, and it’s very easy and useful to use. However, I do have one problem. I understand why it would do this, but it took me a bit to figure out that this app was the problem. So I connected to a wifi router, and it wasn’t very secured, so this app wouldn’t let me use it. I was a little freaked out, seeming as I now had no way to check emails or anything because the cell service was really awful at the time. I opened this app and clicked the stop protection, and the wifi suddenly worked again. I see why this problem happened, but maybe if it asked me to disable the wifi, it would’ve been better. Instead I spent 30 minutes trying to restart my router when I realized it was working fine for the rest of my family, so I stopped protection for a little and my phone let me connect to the wifi. A way to about this problem would be to just have it ask you if you want to risk your phone instead of just disabling the WiFi. Thank you for your time!

VPN isn’t even a VPN, Bugs and it Crashed my IPad

Alright let’s get this out of the way, First, this isn’t a VPN a VPN Masks your IP. My IP was the exact Same thing when I checked it during the VPN. Second, Only thing it did was Make my Internet Slow when connected to it. Third, After Messing around with it and touching the Wolf Repeatedly out of Boredom knowing the app doesn’t work, my IPad Reset itself Twice, and it Crashed. This is the only app that made my tablet do such a thing. There are Better VPNs, (Ones that actually are VPNs) out there don’t let the Fake Reviews and Bots tell you this VPN is Working. Also the UI Reminds me of Bonzi Buddy for some Reason, not anything negative but just a side note. To Developers: Be Honest with your Product Next Time Please. If you can make this a REAL VPN and Fix the Bugs and Crashes that would be nice but I know developers won’t take notice from a Person like me. No I won’t email you guys about my Issue because I’m not going to waste my time. I said everything here for you guys to investigate it.

Hmmmm..fine print

So, nothing against this app or its developer/owner, but I am seeking a security app to ensure my information isn't collected and shared with 3rd parties. Like many, I don't want the websites I visit, apps I use or the location I am at, readily available to anyone other than myself. If you read the fine print, you will learn that while they are upfront about it, The company Distimo, who makes this app, owns any information you give them, including the primary 3 listed in a previous sentence of this review. More than likely not a big thing, but they're offering an app at no cost, with no ads. There had to be a catch. So if you're truly looking to be " under the radar", read the fine print and then make the call....As for me, I have deleted the app and don't plan to use it. But I gave them a 3, because the reviews are all Favorable and I didn't want to bring them down too much for something I am bothered by. Form your own beliefs.

Some issues

Overall I like the app especially for free but it does have a few annoying issues. Mostly when I'm online trying to look things up. It won't allow pages to open even from previously visited sites and ones that are associated with my accounts so they are protected anyway. Sometimes it works fine other times it won't work at all until I shut the app off. I've also had a slowness issue. My wifi has been noticeably slower since adding this app and my battery drains extremely rapidly. Now since I'm typically in an area easily accessible to charging it hasn't caused me too much of a problem. The lagging is however annoying and I do find myself turning the app off a lot, at home especially. Overall from what I can tell the app is serving it's purpose and when I'm not using my phone or only using it for texting and calling, it is still a good piece of mind to have.

It’s fine

I mean this is an OK App but I felt we would still stick with ProtonVPN Just because I feel like it’s more safer fan this app because I don’t know if this is a scam app or if it’s. Really a VPN app because usually if you go to VPN did you have to pay for a subscription And usually you would have to choose a country but in this app you don’t do that and it doesn’t block ads However I am getting faster speed at least so that’s something I’m not going to complain about Do I recommend this I will probably say in the middle just because I don’t know if this app is really safe scam or if it’s just a normal VPN just like any other but I will probably stick with ProtonVPN Just because I feel like it’s more safer not saying this app is not saved I just don’t know if it’s a scam or not but will have to see Thanks for reading :)

Tracker Ads Return After Latest Update

I’ve submitted 3 recent emails to Phone Guardian to discuss my dismay over their decision to no longer block ads or tracker ads. Since the latest update, every app I use has ads galore “everywhere” and I was a once HUGE FAN that referred family & friends to use the Phone Guardian app. All of my recent emails have not been responded yet from Phone Guardian, although I received automated sent emails stating they would contact me to discuss my questions. I have loved this wonderful free app, until their decision to allow ads/tracker ads to return. It’s a blooming nightmare the amount of phishing emails I’ve received the past couple of weeks, including blackmailers demanding bitcoin payment to not hack my accounts, after they provided one of my private computer passwords & warnings that changing my password will not help. PLEASE PHONE GUARDIAN PUT THE AD/TRACKER AD BLOCKER BACK. If not, then I will have to resort to finding an alternative app to protect my phone and get rid of these numerous hideous ads.

Great free app that gives you peace of mind

On average this app will block at least, (and I strongly emphasize the at least) 10,000 intrusion attempts in a week. This week is a little higher because I’ve been outta the house more than usual, so right now I’m right around 19,700 blocked attempts. My only gripe with the app is this, (and it’s not even that major of a gripe), when restarting the iPhone X the app won’t reconnect/reactivate the VPN and get back on your local WiFi. So if you aren’t paying attention at home/work, or wherever you usually rely on a WiFi signal, you will chew through your data. You have to go into settings, scroll down to the VPN slider/button, tap it, it attempts to turn off and then turns right back on and connects to the WiFi immediately. It’s my home network, I’ve told it to trust it many, many, many times to see if it takes care of it...but, it does not. That’s really it. Haven’t had any other issues, no issues with the app interfering as far as blocking websites, app’s accessing the net, etc. Great app all around. And like I said, it gives you a little peace of mind while out n about searching the web for anything.
