I really, really want to like this VPN, but dear god, the bugs are unbearable (no pun intended). Half the time the app will log you out within hours of your last use. Unfortunately, every time you're logged out, your settings (including split VPN) are completely reset. I've logged numerous tickets and their response is non-existent. Update 4 Nov: the connection issue seems to have resolved, but it'd be nice if they changed it so the promo notifications had their own category to turn it off!

Evaluating VPNs before subscribing, but TunnelBear made the choice easy. I’m going elsewhere. The app has been saying ā€œFree data refreshes todayā€ for days, yet nothing resets. Tried logging out, reinstalling, clearing cache - no luck. If the free plan can’t even refresh properly, I can’t trust the paid one to be reliable.

This app is a buggy mess. Has a splash screen that's slow as balls, no dark mode, and the switch is basically useless because the damn thing works whenever it feels like it. When I press on the switch I want it to enable the VPN, not to ignore the tap and not turn it on. This app needs heavy work for it to be properly usable.
