I can't choose on what networks to automatically tunnel, but this used to be the case. (I recently upgraded to Android 9, related?) Instead, TunnelBear tries to connect automatically all the time. This is not what I need. At home my phone should not connect. Furthermore, the ongoing notifications while the app is not connected are annoying. I understand that's necessary for apps to run foreground services, but why do you need a foreground service in the first place? To try and connect all the time? That's not good!

Sometimes, the app doesn't work at all. I mean I can interact with the UI, but it doesn't do anything when I try using the VPN option to turn it on. Clearing cache or forcing the app to stop won't help. Also, for April fools, please make all the countries have transparent bears instead of it being just green. I might change my review to 5 stars because the app updated and it may have fixed that bug, but the 5 stars will be more for extra bears everywhere on April fools.

experiencing the same error and issues as other users. laggy country selection, won't turn on (basically useless at times), map turns gray and stops loading, and i have to keep reinstalling every time i use it. and no, restarting my device does nothing. this has been a reoccurring issue for months now - maybe a year. update: ok devs, it's nice to know a permanent fix is being processed.
