In dark mode, the appearance of the widget button is not clear
When dark mode is enabled, the on/off buttons of widgets 4/5/6 (🚀 in a circle) appear very unclear after being connected. In light mode, the entire button turns green, making it highly visible; however, in dark mode, the button color remains unchanged—only the thinnest outline of the small rocket turns green, which is especially hard to notice. If bright green appears too jarring, an alternative color that better complements dark mode could be used for the entire button. As it stands, simply changing the outline color is far too subtle.

Excellent Shadowrocket, Looking Forward to Improved Mac Client Compatibility
I've been a loyal user of Shadowrocket for quite some time, and this software truly excels on the iOS platform. The stable connections, rich customization options, and intuitive interface have consistently met my expectations, earning it a well-deserved 5-star rating. However, as a frequent Mac user, I am hopeful that Shadowrocket will be better adapted for the Mac client in the future. It would be fantastic if the development team could extend the functionality to control nodes and proxy methods directly from the Mac menu bar. This enhancement would greatly simplify the process of switching between different nodes and proxy methods, enhancing the overall user experience. This improvement would make Shadowrocket even more versatile on the Mac, catering to a broader user base. In summary, I've given Shadowrocket a 5-star rating because it truly is an outstanding VPN tool. I look forward to future updates that bring more feature enhancements, particularly those aimed at improving the Mac client, ensuring a consistent and high-quality user experience across different devices.

Auto-disconnect after screen off/idle on iPhone 11 Pro iOS 16.7.2 – FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY!
Extremely disappointed with this paid app’s terrible stability issue that has not been fixed for a long time. Device: iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16.7.2 My node works perfectly fine when the screen is on, but the proxy connection automatically drops after the phone goes idle for a while or the screen locks. I have to manually reconnect every single time I unlock my device, which completely ruins daily usage. I’ve fully enabled all background refresh, battery and connection-related permissions as instructed, so this is definitely a native compatibility flaw of Shadowrocket for older iOS 16 builds, not a user setup error or node problem. It is unacceptable that a paid tool cannot maintain stable background connection, a core basic function dozens of users have reported repeatedly. The development team ignores widespread complaints and delays relevant updates. I demand the dev team release an urgent patch to resolve this screen-off disconnect bug as soon as possible. If no effective fix comes out soon, I will keep posting negative reviews to warn other buyers away from this unreliable software.
