HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (102 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Bugs, things not working26%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Also, every single time I try to open the app I encounter a different bug or a glitch and it just gets really annoying.

★★★★★ States that VPN can slow or limit connection.
★★★★★ The app is decent but needs an update. When I call 1800 numbers from abroad, the app disables the phone dialer section. This prevents me from interacting with phone menus.

Fast10%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Easy and intuitive. Really need a Mac iOS version. I have a separate vpn for this but man it would be good to just have it all consolidated. I encourage everyone to look at where other vpns are based out of and who…

Please make it so I can also download this on my computer not just my phone. Thanks!

$15 per month for?

I am confused by all the hype. It is just basically a VPN. Much cheaper and even free options around that have been tested proven. If Shawn Ryan wasn’t pushing this, it would be $4.99 at most.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Selling Privacy While Profiting From Surveillance

The hypocrisy here is staggering. Glacier markets itself as a company protecting Americans from surveillance, yet its co-founder, Shawn Ryan, publicly acknowledges investing in Anduril, a company that supplies AI-powered surveillance technology to government agencies, and Shield AI, a military drone technology company. Meanwhile, Glacier Security’s Guardian platform offers organizational location tracking and monitoring capabilities, and the company has documented business relationships in the government and defense sector. So which is it? Is privacy a fundamental right, or just another business opportunity? Ryan has publicly stated that he has zero trust in government agencies, yet he financially backs companies developing technology for those same institutions. The concern isn’t that Glacier has been proven to share customer data with surveillance companies. There is no verified evidence of that. The concern is the glaring conflict between the privacy principles being marketed to consumers and the financial interests of the person promoting them. Consumers deserve full transparency about ownership, financial relationships, data collection, and exactly who can access their information. You cannot expect Americans to blindly trust you with their privacy while asking no questions about your investments in surveillance technology.

Israeli Plant

Shawn Ryan is owned by Peter theil. Avoid him and his apps

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026
Thankful for a harden option in a world where I’m leaking private data like a gun shot wound

Is there a reason the numbers don’t allow for text messaging but just calls only?

What's new in 1.2.1

This update includes a few fixes to smooth out common snags: clearer handling when you move to a plan with fewer phone lines (you’ll see which number will be removed and when, plus any scheduled change on your Subscription screen), calling back from history now dials the number that actually called you, and password reset now guides Google/Apple logins to the correct sign-in instead of trying to send an email that never arrives. Thanks for the great feedback!

Released Jul 13, 2026. Current version shipped Oct 16, 2026.
