Is this a startup idea?

Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use — the fix belongs first to that provider.

    …d this app for years and I’m so disappointed in how it’s turning out. This app used to be reliable and convenient fr me and now it’s just a waste of time.

    Wastes time

    …use it. When I'm also using very poor wifi, the speed is scandalous! It would either continue to disconnect me from that poor wifi UNTIL I turn it off or it won't work well. New note: On poor wifi, it won't connect

    X-VPN: VPN Fast & Secure — Horrible Riddled with ads & pop ups. They over restrict the free version & make it a real struggle to use without subscription. They hand out predatory incentives for 5 star reviews to conflate numbers. Don’t believe them.

  • user·2818App StoreApp Store CA/Security & access·11d ago·Complaintsource ↗

    X-VPN: VPN Fast & Secure — Too many ads Way too forceful about ads, and also kicks you off after like 10-20 mins of usage. I go back to the app to turn the VPN back on just to be introduced to a new ad. Theres an ad to turn the VPN on and an ad when you open the app

Questions about this idea

Is Excessive video ads and frequent unexpected disconnections a startup idea?
Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
How many people have this problem?
6 different people described it independently, in 6 mentions, the earliest from 21 Dec 2025 and the most recent from 14 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
Is this problem getting worse?
Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 2 people raised it in the last 30 days and 0 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.
