If your main goal is streaming and travel, it is incredibly tough to beat. It is one of the few VPNs that can consistently outsmart Netflix and Amazon Prime's VPN blockers without requiring you to constantly switch servers. If you frequently use public Wi-Fi at coffee shops or airports, its connection speeds are so fast (thanks to its NordLynx protocol) that you genuinely forget it is running in the background. It is an excellent "set-and-forget" tool for the average user.

What reviewers on Google Play say
Many servers to choose from and now faster connections with NordLynx! Definately faster in my testing. (Just be aware, the subscription renewal process can be confusing. The better deals are 2 year subscriptions but don't auto-renewal except for a 1 year renewal at the higher price. To retain the better 2 year pricing, this must be done manually.)
Read the original on Google PlayExcellent VPN service, I've been using Nord for a long while now as it's included with Revolut and it serves its purpose brilliantly. Good speeds, low latency and I like to mess with the nerdy settings. The UI on the app is really easy to navigate and use, I just wish the map was easier to navigate and had location names. I also think less adverts for other Nord products should be shown as Nord isn't a free product and adverts shouldn't be all over, even if it's for your own products.
Read the original on Google PlayI've never had a connection issue or anything. It stays automatically connected and if it somehow gets disconnected it hooks right back up. I assume it does that, becuse i have never been disconnected. It has a thing telling how long you've stayed connected, I never really pay attention to that but usually saids a month or more. Has an Option for mesh netting where you can link other devices too. Had another app, but it went out of service and atuo linked me to this one.
Read the original on Google PlayJust 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.
Read the original on Google PlayExcellent service for this VPN provider. Many different options available for location & settings. With that said it's also easy to use for the user. Install & go. I've had this service a long time and I won't be changing it. Very happy. π
Read the original on Google PlayReliable. The main thing I'm looking for in a VPN. If settings are right, it will always run and cut off connection if not on - allowing me the opportunity to close out whatever downloads I might have running. I would love more time length options for pausing, and a timer to see how long is left. 5 mins is short, and 30 too long for quick things like app updates that require Google login and location access. Setting it to turn on on a schedule, or by common location/Wi-Fi (work) would be sweeet.
Read the original on Google PlaySo despite all the recent updates after my complaint about not being able to play videos on some websites because Nordvpn keeps blocking them. I found out the phishing scam option was on and that was the reason a lot of links don't open including application forms that legal documents and everything good. i turned it off and all the sites can play videos and i can do other things. the idea is good but it doesn't know the difference between fake sites with links and genuine sites it blocks all
Read the original on Google PlayThere is a reason they are number one. There are things I didn't like, such as, instead of reminding me I needed to renew, the VPN just shut off without warning. A paid service in another country was permanently blocked. You can't choose a favorite city to connect to when the program restarts or loses a server. The server that Nord chooses is absolutely the worst for permissions on sites. If I fail to check to be sure I'm not on that server, I can be barred from other subscriptions.
Read the original on Google PlayTried several, Nord was fastest Surfshark has some features I would like to have with Nord ...Cleanweb ad and tracker blocker, alias email/identity and bypasser. Nord's split tunneling lets you add apps but you can't set up individual websites like with Surfshark bypasser. I would recommend Surf over Nord if you get good speed with them. edit.. Unfortunately, the PC version frequently loses connection and has issues. If you're only needing it for your phone, π but for me... still testing.
Read the original on Google PlayEDIT: 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 than my Google Play so I can't use the features I paid for, when I AM on the correct account. It's just randomly decided that it wants to stop working now.
Read the original on Google Playgreat for IPTV,that's all I really use it for.had no issues with VPN speeds.runs 4k streams easily.Used express VPN but my experience was mainly slow,dropouts and constant loss of connection.Also struggled with anything above HD play.
Read the original on Google PlayI like the value of the annual plan and the overall experience. People don't seem to understand that you can turn off marketing notifications in the app settings if they wanted to. My only complaint is that after this recent UI update, I've been having issues with it trying to reconnect randomly. I'll be trying to do something and won't have connection because it's trying to connect to the vpn. Then I can't access the Internet unless I turn it off. It's not set to block internet without vpn.
Response from NordVPN
Hi Ian, thanks for the thoughtful feedback and for sticking with us. Weβre sorry about the random reconnects. Could you try switching to NordLynx in the app settings? If it keeps happening, please message our team at https://support.nordvpn.com so they can dig into it with you. - K.S.
Told me it was a 3 day free trial, still wanted me to subscribe with a debit card. Yeah I had a free trial over a year ago and completely forgot it was this vpn, regardless it said nothing about previous free trials. Said cancel in 3 days and I wouldn't be charged, that I'd get an email in 2 days to warn me. So I got it, next thing I know I get an email telling me I've been charged 110$! absolutely not acceptable. Update: They refunded $ and have great customer service!
Read the original on Google PlayUpdate, no changes. time to find a new provider I have been a paid member for a long time. I have used the premium version on multiple devices for years, and the last year has been a nightmare of connection issues. I have to manually reconnect every hour, sometimes more. it will disconnect or just say "loading IP" and you won't be secured until you open the app and reconnect manually. I'm now shopping for a new VPN since it's a "known issue" and the updates don't fix it.
Response from NordVPN
Hello, thank you for the update. We are truly sorry to hear that the issue persists. Could you please share your support ticket ID with us? We would like to look into your case directly and review it. - A.M.
The product worked well, then it stopped being usable and refused to connect to servers and required constant reconnection. After troubleshooting with tech support, I was told essentially, "Too bad it's been more than 30 days; you can't have a refund (I paid full year upfront), so you're stuck with a broken product." I get if I was just asking for a refund. but the product doesn't work. if it doesn't work I shouldn't pay for the service.
Response from NordVPN
Hello. Our apologies for the inconvenience you had with our service and customer support team. Could you please update your review with the Ticket ID you received so we could double-check the situation? We'd be happy to help! -G.M.
Stop asking for notifications! A recent update has made using the app a pain due to the constant requests to allow for notifications every time I open the app. They have made it more difficult to disconnect from an active VPN by burying the disconnect button under the pause menu. I will not be renewing after this recent update of intrusiveness, and lack of UI experts on their team. Do not ask me to contact support for the notifications. This is not an issue on my end at all, and you know it.
Response from NordVPN
Hi Jesse! We're truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by notification prompts and UI changes. Your feedback is invaluable and we're forwarding it to the team for review. For now, if you have other concerns, feel free to reach out to us at support.nordvpn.com anytime. -E.G.
Lying Thieves. They advertise their one year subscription as being cancelable within the first three days for free, but there is absolutely no option on their website, or on the app to cancel the subscription within that three day timeframe. I even deleted my account completely after only two days of use, and there is a one year charge on my credit card. NEVER USE THIS APP, they are liars and thieves.
Response from NordVPN
Hello there. That should not be the case! You may always cancel your trial subscription via the Google Play store or NordAccount dashboard. Could you please make sure to contact our support team for them to look closer into your account? Weβd be happy to help! Our team is available 24/7 at support.nordvpn.com. -G.M.
I used to love NordVPN, and I recommended it to several people, but no more! Since the latest update on July 8th, it disconnects constantly, and I do not feel safe any longer. It literally NEVER disconnected, prior to the update! Please fix this NordVPN, or it's not worth having.
Response from NordVPN
