Apple TV VPN support

Hi Team, any plans to support Windscribe Vpn on apple TV. Its been a few months that apple has added support for vpn on apple TV.

There are plans for a native AppleTV application. But it will take some time as the mobile operating system have different libraries compared to its TV counterpart.

It’s coming don’t worry. Right now we’re focused on open-sourcing and refactoring the iOS app. The Apple TV app will follow after that.

Sod windscribe if they can’t be arsed I can’t be arsed waiting nord can get my hard earned ya snooze ya lose :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

I keep seeing this lame excuse all the time, that did not stop many vpn services to launch their Apple TV app day 1 or shortly after tvOS 17 was released, from small developers to big name vpn services. so the only reason is that Windscribe are not prioritizing the project.

Any update? It’s been 4 months since your comment.

Their first priority is securing their servers, maintain stability and most importantly ensuring everyone is able to connect.

People in authoritarian countries are struggling, that is Windscribe’s main goal. To allow access to the internet and be free from the censorship and controlled information.

Another thing is, many of the known VPN companies have an army of developers or are rolling in money to work in it.

Those day one are from shady developers that do not focus on security, stability or your well being as they most likely keep logs.

It looks like it is finally here, I’ll test it today :slight_smile:

yeah that’s not necessarily true, NordVPN and ExpressVpn, Ip vanish and Pure Vpn are already there for a while if you don’t want to talk about small developers, not every competitor which released an app are a shady company, and being a not so shady company doesn’t contradict with releasing an app for Apple TV early. in all conditions it shouldn’t take a year or possibly more to release an app other competitors managed to release for a while, I don’t care if takes more developers or more money, Windscribe is a paid service not a free one to take money or developer shortage as an excuse, they need more developers? easy, hire some more like other competitors did. they did not even announce a roadmap or a possible release date. this is not acceptable at all.

I wouldn’t consider NordVPN, ExpressVPN, IP Vanish or even Pure VPN as shady companies.

But they have a larger fleet, and are not actively working « as far as I know » to get a smaller server fleet to work with people in other countries or even developing different features and tools to aid them.

Windscribe is slower at developing, I give you that. But it should not come to a surprise why they are taking longer because of them being a smaller company AND having a different priority.
