"Good when it works"
Not gonna lie, it’s fast when it’s working, but the app keeps dropping on my laptop and the kill switch acts kind of weird sometimes. It’s frustrating because I want to like it, but it’s not as reliable as I hoped...

"Pretty good, just a bit expensive"
It works fine, no real complaints there. I just wasn’t expecting it to cost as much as it did, I guess. Like, it does what it’s supposed to, but yeah... feels a little pricey for what it is.
"Support tried, but it still felt like my fault"
I kept having expressvpn drop the connection on my laptop every few hours, which got annoying fast. I went through their help page first and tried the usual fixes before finally reaching out to support.
They did reply quickly, so I’ll give them that, but most of the suggestions were basic — reinstall the app, switch protocols, restart the router, that kind of thing. I’d already done a lot of it, and at times it kind of felt like they were implying the problem was something I was doing wrong instead of an actual issue with the app.
After a few days, it still wasn’t fully fixed. The drops happened less often, but they didn’t completely stop. I wouldn’t say the support was awful, just that it felt very copy-and-paste and a bit frustrating when I already felt like I’d tried everything on my end

"Good security, but I’m not buying all the marketing"
I’ve been using expressvpn mostly for privacy, and so far it feels solid. I’m always a little suspicious of the super polished “military-grade security” kind of wording companies throw around, but the actual app has been straightforward and easy to set up.
The kill switch has worked fine for me, which is the main thing I care about. I had one or two connection drops, but it blocked traffic like it was supposed to, and the app makes it clear when I’m connected, which is simple but useful.
I’m giving it 4 stars because it’s definitely on the pricey side. I don’t trust every shiny claim they make, but based on actually using it, I do feel safer having it on.

"Wish I’d Felt More Confident About the Privacy"
I signed up for ExpressVPN because I really wanted better privacy, but I kind of regret jumping in without looking closer first. The app itself was fine, but the privacy settings and policy details felt confusing and a little too vague for my liking. Maybe it does what it’s supposed to do, but I was hoping for something that made me feel more clearly protected. After trying it for a bit, I ended up canceling
"Decent for torrents, but I don’t know why it’s not more consistent"
I’ve used it for torrenting and it’s been okay overall. I don’t know why, but sometimes it feels like it works fine one minute and then slows down more than I expected. It gets the job done, but I wouldn’t call it perfect

"Finally, a connection that just stays on"
I’ve been using ExpressVPN for a few months now, the connection has been really steady. I can leave it on all day without it randomly dropping like some of the others I tried. Speeds have been fine too, but the thing I appreciate most is that it just works when I need it. After dealing with VPNs that constantly cut out, I feel like I’m owed an apology for all the frustration I put up with before

"pretty decent servers, but a few gaps"
i’ve had a okay experience overall. the server coverage is decent, but i did notice a few countries i wanted still aren’t available, so it’s not perfect if you need specific locations.

"I had some luck with it while..."
I had some luck with it while traveling, but Netflix still blocked me more often than I expected. If you’re planning to use it mainly for streaming shows abroad, I’d say don’t count on it 100%, maybe test it before your trip or have a backup option just in case.

"Simple app that does the job"
I was in a relaxed mood when I first tried it, and the app was easy to figure out right away. It usually connects quickly, which is nice. Switching servers can take a bit sometimes, but nothing too annoying. For everyday use, it’s been mostly smooth and works fine for me

"Couldn’t get it to work reliably"
I bought this hoping it would help me get around censorship, but it just kept failing or timing out. Compared to other tools I’ve tried, this one felt way less dependable. I reached out to support and they sent over some basic suggestions, but nothing actually fixed the issue. In the end, it felt like I paid for something that didn’t really do what I needed

"Seems to work on everything I tried"
I wasn’t totally sure it would work across all my devices, but yeah, I got it running on my phone, laptop, and Fire TV without much hassle at all.

"Refund was quick, no drama"
I got expressvpn for a trip. Just to test it out, really. Then plans changed and I barely ended up using it. After a few days, I figured I’d try asking for a refund through chat. thought it might turn into a whole thing.
But no. Straightforward. The agent looked up my account, confirmed everything, and that was basically it. The money showed back up a few days later. Simple enough, and no hassle...

"Feels safe enough for what I need"
I’m always a little skeptical when companies say they don’t keep logs, because you never really know what’s going on behind the scenes or what they’d rather not spell out too clearly. That said, from what I’ve seen, this one feels trustworthy enough for me. I haven’t noticed anything sketchy, and I feel safe using it.

"Support got back to me quickly"
I had this annoying login issue on expressvpn.com, so I ended up trying the chat support, and it was decent. It took a few minutes before I got connected to an actual person, which is always that little waiting-around moment, but once someone jumped in they were quick and explained things clearly. They got it sorted without a ton of back and forth, which I appreciated. I’m giving 4 stars because the very first reply felt kind of copy-pasted, like the usual support script, but after that it was smooth enough and overall a good experience.

"It does work with Netflix, but it buffers..."
It does work with Netflix, but it buffers way too often, and that gets frustrating, especially when I’m just trying to watch something without interruptions.

"Changing my plan was painless"
I needed to switch my plan recently, so I logged into my account expecting it to be a whole thing, but it was actually straightforward. The plan options were easy to find, and I liked that the renewal date was clearly shown before I made any changes. The only small hiccup was that the receipt email didn’t come through right away, so I had to wait a bit and double-check later. Not a big deal though, overall, the billing side of things went smoothly

"I been using expressvpn.com for a few..."
I been using expressvpn.com for a few months now and the speed been really good. I thought it was gonna slow everything down a lot, but pages still load fast and streaming barely buffers for me. Even when I’m on wifi it connects in just a few seconds. So far I’m happy with it.
"Pretty easy setup overall"
I got it set up on my laptop and phone without too much trouble. The app itself was straightforward, which I appreciated, although for some reason I had to restart it once before everything started working right. Not a huge deal, just one of those little annoying things. Overall it was fine, just not completely smooth from start to finish.
