SpeedVPN Best Free VPN 1.3.6
However, some VPN apps are difficult to manage or don't provide users with reliable connections. Still SpeedVPN is one of the popular such apps on the internet and well worth a try.
Simplistic app that lacks features
The app opens with the main page. There's no tutorial or instructions to help you get accustomed faster with the interface, but you'll soon notice that it's quite simplistic and doesn't come with an intricate layout. SpeedVPN is only available in English, the app wasn't translated into any other languages.
In addition, it doesn't come with a menu or the option of making changes to the interface. Another thing that it lacks is a widget for the home screen to connect faster and avoid launching the app for establishing VPN connections to servers in remote locations.
Connect to servers in various countries
The app doesn't provide users with information on their current internet connection or a map that would pinpoint their location and display the IP address. It's quite simplistic but offers instant connection with the tap of one finger.
Simply tap on the text to disable auto selection and connect to a server in a country from the list of just four available, France, Canada, United States and Germany. Moreover, it doesn't display the number of people connected to said server. Developers clearly focused on functionality, in the detriment of an appealing interface.
Filled with ads
Such an app lets you unblock geographically restricted websites and provides access to content which is otherwise blocked in certain locations. Free connections last for up to 60 minutes, there's a timer to count how many minutes have passed and before the time runs out tap on extend to get another hour of safe browsing.
The app prevents websites from tracking behavioral information and data on your internet searches. In addition, it doesn't require registration and it's completely free of charge. However, there are many popup full screen ads that would surely annoy you since they appear every a couple of minutes.

Function7
Connections are made instantly, but there are just a few countries to choose from. Also the IP address isn't displayed. |

It does manage to unblock some websites, but needs a lot of permissions from your phone. Still, users don't need to register with an account. |

Consumption is high even for a VPN app, so keep a charger nearby. |
Price8
Completely free of charge, but displays annoying full screen ads every couple of minutes and each time you tap on the connect icon. |
