Drains battery fast (by my phone's oem notification - about 50 mah per 20 min). Overall good app but maybe make it more efficient by making vpn mode run only then i need it in certain app and then turning off completely when i close it. Currently it works all the time and also breaks connection of some other trafficked apps, until manually turned off even tho i supposedly excluded everything besides a few specific apps in vpn mode's settings.

*update: Tracked down some info somewhere suggesting to put 8.8.8.8 in remote dns field. Been working since. Not sure it's a shadowsocks issue so giving back some stars. Better help would be nice.* Well it used to work. Now it doesn't. Reinstalled three times now. Failed to detect internet connection. Unable to resolve host. Nonsense. Unstable and unreliable for days. Every once in awhile it works for some reason, then goes back to not working again.

Thanks for this application. It is great when using Internet behind corporate firewalls. However, recently the VPN mode stopped working for Internet connections. It works for local ips in the server location only. Proxy mode still works fine. So I'm using Firefox and foxyproxy. So I'm guessing it's a phone issue, not really an app issue. Phone is a Samsung s21 running android 13

there is a bug in the app that cause blocking internet access after some changes in network state.after turning off the app and turning it on again the problem is gone. I tried the other shadowsocks client with the green icon, which I think is some version behind this app and it's ok.so I guess the issue is related to recent versions of the shadowsocks app ( gray icon )

To users who are complaining about slow speed, this app is only a CLIENT for a PROTOCOL. which means, this app DOES NOT provide services on itself !!!! so if your speed is slow or whatever, contact the person you've bought your service from instead of leaving one star reviews on an app that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the slow servers you're using.

I love it. It's great and I've used it a long time. I wish you would bring back the "stop service" button on the notification though, that was useful. Or at least add the option in settings... Thank you (:

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I have paid for a subscription and have been using this horrible application since July. The application is unstable. I have 7 different servers and all of them don't work with FB, IG, ect. I have a 200mb line at home and I will be lucky to get 2mb when this vpn is connected. In the evenings this app just doesn't work because the servers are to slow.

perhaps the app does have some minor issues on connection establishment, but as far as I can think of, the app provides client services, it does not have any server side things that relate to the servers it connected to.
