Anonine is a VPN app for iOS that encrypts your internet traffic and lets you appear to be in different countries. You can use it on public WiFi without worrying about hackers, and the interface is stripped down to basics—just tap a map, pick a location, and connect. The app offers free VPN servers with no usage limits if you don't want to pay, though that's not explicitly detailed here. It's available on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch running iOS 9.0 or later, though Mac support requires an M1 chip and macOS 11.0.
The paid subscriptions run $9.99 monthly, $20.99 quarterly, or $35.99 annually—though the pricing list at the bottom shows some conflicting numbers, with options listed up to $63.99 for 12 months. All subscriptions auto-renew unless you manually disable that in your account settings at least 24 hours before your renewal date. Once a renewal period starts, Anonine won't cancel or refund it. There's no free trial, and you don't need to create an account to use the free servers.
Here's the catch: the developer (Digit Capital, operating under Edelino Commerce Inc.) hasn't told Apple anything about how it handles your data or what privacy practices it follows. Apple's listing explicitly states "No Details Provided" and notes the developer will have to fill this in when they next update the app. For a VPN service—something specifically designed around privacy—that's a red flag worth investigating before you hand over payment info. You can check their privacy policy directly at their site, but the fact they haven't disclosed this to Apple yet is worth keeping in mind.
