I have tried about 7 different VPN services for Mac and iOS, some work great on Mac but not on iOS, and some the other way around. Now that there are so many varieties of Mac and iOS malware infections that do everything from wipe your device to take it over all together, it is essential to be protected on the road as well as at home. I like that you can simply trust or un-trust networks--any network--and cloak takes it from there without having remember to manually connect, this has become the best app on the market. Cloak warns you the moment you go to a fraudulent site or are on an untrusted network. Their “Over Cloak" adds yet another layer of security. It used to slow down my speeds a bit, but the new version has solved that problem. When I had an issue or simply did not understand something, their support was immediate and outstanding. I traveled to Europe and used Cloak, and felt really good to know I could still connect to my country of choice, or to the US if I wanted to watch HBO abroad. It worked behind the scenes, with a minimal amount of configuration. I highly recommend this application for all your devices, and cannot be happier with their support staff. I whole heartedly second the reviewer who said: “it just works."

We have the worst hackers in our bldg. Because of it we can’t have WiFi or cable because we only have xfinity/Comcast and their routers are apparently quite easy to hack. So we depend on our devices for entertainment. But they get into those too...have been through 15 phones in 4 yrs! I just had gotten yet another one & this time got an “expensive” phone. Yet once again after a few weeks starting showing signs of hacking & could get good reception or even complete most calls. That all changed once I got Encrypt Me!!!! My signal has gotten better,no more dropped calls,no more battery running in the background for no reason, no more strange texts/emails/calls etc. After one day I’ve seen so much improvement I even canceled my service appt at the phone place this weekend. Rating this 5 stars and going to tell everyone about this app. You guys are lifesavers! Thank you for creating this app.

I love that it detects that I’ve connected to a new, potentially untrusted WiFi (like a hotel, coffee shop, or airport), and can automatically secure the connection. Other VPN’s I’ve used required that I manually secure my connection. Over time, the app eventually stops working. The behavior will exhibit as: it won’t auto-connect, or it will connect but the connection will have 100% packet loss, or it won’t connect at all (manually or automatic), or it won’t allow you to designate a new WiFi connection as trusted. Basically it becomes unusable. The resolution as of 4.2.1 is to reinstall the VPN Profile via an in-app action, which saves you from having to remove and reinstall the entire app, which was the old fix. This is awesome because it shows the developer is aware of issues and actually working to improve. Unfortunately as of the last few weeks, the service has become basically unusable. I have to reinstall the VPN Profile almost everyday, and when it does work, the connection speeds are so slow that I have to sacrifice security over productivity and just disconnect so I can get things done. I really want love this app, but it’s in dire need of horsepower and stability. I’ll give it a go again on their next update.

This app was recommended by a friend, expert in cyber security, when was Cloak. Since then, I’ve been using them in all my devices. By my experience, it is one of the most reliable vpn on the market. Simple interface, connects on demand, connections encrypted and secured and works really good on wifi or carrier. It’s a turn it on and forget about it. Good customer service and they response quickly. If you have problem connecting from the mobile app to Xfinity wifi, don’t blame the app. Xfinity blocks a lots of vpn connection on their public wifi. Try their Mac or Windows app insted when connects to Xfinity wifi. Any other wifi works fine.

Ah, there’s the rub. This app frequently decides to just quit working. Other times, it’s just stuck in a non-responsive loop, usually after the phone’s been inactive for several hours. When it keeps trying (but failing) to connect, just deactivate the VPN from the iOS settings app. I find this VPN finally rediscovers its ability to establish a connection after I switch to a different VPN app like Opera for several minutes or hours. Sometimes, though, this VPN app really checks out completely and takes a vacation. I have no idea why or when it’ll completely stop functioning, but when it does, just delete the VPN configuration from the iOS settings app, then log out of this VPN service from its own app. Force quit the VPN app, then restart it, log in to the VPN service, and add the VPN configuration to your phone. It should now be able to connect to the VPN with no problems or delays. This app and its VPN service used to be much more reliable, before the company was sold off to its current outfit. I’m glad the original developers made money, but I wish they had cared more about the lousy service their customers have endured from the buyer ever since.
