Shadowrocket Reviews

I bought it for 3 months and I wanted to reset it after 26 days for data usage full following the instructions on the website. But the customer support refused first. Then they reset at the day of auto refresh data usage and deleted 30days for me. When I try to talk to the customer support again. They refused to answer and closed the case. So I tried to find them again. Then they deleted my account. So I only used it for 32days and they kept my money for 3 months subscription and with such ugly attitude.

in my opinion, deserves the low rating it has received. Shadowrocket suffers from extremely delayed updates, lack of access to new services such as reality, and no support for SSH tunneling. It doesn't seem like Shadowrocket has any inclination towards providing updates that meet the needs of its users. In other words, it doesn't seem like the developers are putting in much effort to improve Shadowrocket . Therefore, I don't recommend purchasing Shadowrocket. Instead, I suggest looking for other options that prioritize regular updates and keeping up with users' needs. Overall, Shadowrocket seems to lack the necessary focus on user needs and updates, and I wouldn't recommend using it."

Shadowrocket has a great config mode which really helps when you don’t want to pass every url through the proxy. But the problem is when you the config mode, DNS requests are not sent through the proxy and are sent directly through your ISP. This is against any printery advantages that using a proxy might bring. I don’t want my ISP to eavesdrop on my DNS queries.
If you care about DNS queries you should only use “Proxy” mode. Or another app that handles this perfectly like 1.1.1.1

I keep getting an “Unable to load” error on the Today Widget. I think this happens when this app does not quickly reload servers and the old VPN has been blocked by the GFW. I wish this app had an option to more frequently check if servers are being blocked and autorotate faster to keep trying to find one. The autorotate doesn’t seem to work well enough.

This is an awesome app. Worked perfectly before but I’m giving 3 stars because somehow it stopped working with Facebook messenger. Doesn’t mark the conversations read, struggles sending and receiving messages. This is the only complain, but a huge one. Another app that I found, and which is free btw - Potatso Lite, does the job just right btw. I’d love to change the rating as soon as the bug is fixed. Otherwise it’s awesome and the developers are awesome. Long live free internet (in China) 🙌✊

It used to work great on my iPhone SE (2016) and 2 iPads, but when I switched to the new SE problems began to rise. The first time I enabled this app, the phone heated up in my pocket and caused the camera to stop functioning. Every time I opened this app since then, I can feel the temperature rising on the phone back (below the camera, about the CPU area) and don't dare to keep it enabled for more than several minutes.

I also noticed the problem. After the upgrade to iOS 11, it automatically disconnects the phone from WiFi and uses 4g instead. The problem seems to be solved by previous updates but is back again, and the problem doesn’t seem to be present on every WiFi router, I think Shadowrocket works with certain protocol or hardware somehow

I just bought a new iPhone but when I try to download this, it doesn’t recognize my purchase and request me to pay again??!! I’m really confused! I use the same Apple ID for both of my phones, why do I need to pay again since it’s just a different device? please help me fix it thanks

This is really good stuff, and has very few bugs even after one year of use. But it’s been a while, and the interface has not been updated to work with the new iPhones. When viewing on larger devices, Shadowrocket is fuzzy and low resolution, and generally looks terrible. This is not a dealbreaker, but needs to be updated as soon as possible.

Several generations before, the tweak of Shadowrocket this place is real time connection speed, but now there is no such feature. I just updated Shadowrocket last week, I don’t know since when it had disappeared, but it was really intuitive and helpful, please bring it back.

I have been using this app for a month, when I am using it for vpn, the battery is dropping faster than not using it, and when I use certain apps such as instagram and wechat, the phone will get hot. The temperature is even higher than when I play a 3D intense game. Please fix this issue. Thanks. Support for freedom and stand with democracy.

Give me a five point evaluation first, and then let's talk about some questions.
After the latest version of 2.2.20 has just been updated, a problem has occurred, which will lead to the inability to access the Internet directly after the link. The developer hopes to fix this problem as soon as possible after seeing the reply, thank you

Shadowrocket worked very well before I updated it. But when I did it, Shadowrocket don’t work att all and when I connect to my config at Shadowrocket, I can’t open any site. But the same config work at the fair app😕 Thanks alot for your support🌻
I updated Shadowrocket to tha latest version, but it don’t work correctly after update, again😕 please resolve this problem!

This software is indeed quite user-friendly. As a VPN user, I have never encountered any crashes or inability to connect. In fact, the connection status of the software mainly depends on the choice of server nodes rather than the VPN service provider. I have tried both good and bad server nodes, and that's where the brilliance of this software as a stable VPN service shines through.

Tried other free apps to connect to my Shadowsocks server running on a pi, both of which encountered inexplicable authentication errors. Downloaded Shadowrocket because it had a way to log the connection for me to debug, low and behold, the connection worked on the first try so I didn’t even need to debug further.

Thank you for making this work!!!

软件没有完美的，
所以需要不断地更新改进，
看了下版本更新纪录，
每次改进详情也写得很详细，
不像很多糊弄人的软件，
只写一句改进了修复了一些不让你知道的问题，
也没买那些比较懒两三个月才更新一次的，
协议支持最全同时该有的功能都有而且价格良心，
同时信任用户不设置什么远程设备绑定验证功能来限制用户使用，
据说有些通过远程绑定限制设备数量的软件，
甚至能远程在用户手机执行一些命令，
万一作者人品差或者想用用户信息来获利那就危险了，
所以也没选那种类型的软件。

The software is not perfect.
So it needs to be constantly updated and improved.
I've looked at the version update log.
The details of each improvement are written in great detail.
Unlike a lot of software that fools people.
Not like a lot of confusing software, just write a sentence to improve the fix some problems that do not let you know.
I did not buy those lazy two or three months to update once.
The protocol support is the most complete while the features are there and the price is conscientious.
At the same time, trust users do not set up any remote device binding verification function to limit the use of users.
It is said that some software that limits the number of devices by remote binding
The software can even remotely execute some commands on the user's phone.
In case the author is of poor character or wants to use the user's information to profit from it, it is dangerous.
So I didn't choose that type of software.

The best among the several apps used, with the most stable internet experience.
I am also using it on my Mac now.
I set up node sorting on the iPhone a while ago, but now I don't remember it on the Mac. I've been searching for it for a long time but I don't know how to configure it. Is this a problem?

I’m primarily using this app app to connect to my personal Shadowsocks VPS. I find Shadowrocket excellent in performance, it has very comprehensive features satisfying most users and very good UI/UX. But what really impresses me most is the outstanding support from the developer. I had initially problems configuring Shadowrocket to connect to my Shadowsocks server. I believe most of the issues are due to my lack of familiarity with the Shadowsocks + v2ray plugin protocol. But the developer has shown great patience in walking me through the settings in Shadowrocket to finally establish connection. The performant app and wonderful developer support earned my solid recommendation.

It won't work after today's update. The nodes are all useless, the update is still in use one second ago, and the connection cannot be connected after the update.

I've been a loyal user of this app for quite some time, and this software truly excels on the iOS platform. The stable connections, rich customization options, and intuitive interface have consistently met my expectations, earning it a well-deserved 5-star rating.

However, as a frequent Mac user, I am hopeful that this app will be better adapted for the Mac client in the future. It would be fantastic if the development team could extend the functionality to control nodes and proxy methods directly from the Mac menu bar. This enhancement would greatly simplify the process of switching between different nodes and proxy methods, enhancing the overall user experience. This improvement would make this app even more versatile on the Mac, catering to a broader user base.

In summary, I've given this app a 5-star rating because it truly is an outstanding VPN tool. I look forward to future updates that bring more feature enhancements, particularly those aimed at improving the Mac client, ensuring a consistent and high-quality user experience across different devices.
