It has native apps for Windows (Vista, XP, 7, 8, 10), Mac (Sierra, High Sierra, Yosemite, El Capitan, and more), Android (Jelly Bean, KitKat, Nougat, Marshmallow, Oreo, and more), and iOS (iPhone 7, 8, X, and other models). Hotspot Shield does not feature a wide platform coverage compared to some of the most popular VPN services out there. Our lowest speed was recorded on the Melbourne server, which managed to retain only 33.42% of our benchmark download speed.
Our speed tests usually show subpar results in India, but Hotspot Shield managed to retain 65.51% of our original speed on its server in Chennai. We also had excellent results on servers in Mexico, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Stockholm, Auckland, and Hong Kong. VPN services that enhance your speed instead of lowering it are definitely rare nowadays, which makes Hotspot Shield all the more impressive. Oddly enough, we recorded the best results in New York, which augmented our original download speed by 4.06%. Our testing team located in Belgrade, Serbia (Europe) tested 18 Hotspot Shield servers over a period of one week to determine the discrepancies between our benchmark speeds and said server locations. Having said that, certain servers did exhibit diminished performance on occasion, probably due to overcrowding. We were able to connect to any server in a matter of seconds and did not experience any disconnects or huge performance issues. During our testing phase, Hotspot Shield definitely confirmed its status as one of the fastest VPN services out there.
