with this app, i noticed that even after you uninstall it, and install it anew, it remembers your user name and password and that you used their 7 day free trial. does anyone know what files are left behind that it still remembers you used the app if you reinstall it? how can you fully delete this thing?
 
/data/data/com.vpnintouch/databases/purchase.db

Maybe its this file - seems to have been created when I started my trial

I cant see that file or dirctory on my s3. I enabled shw hidden files. I can only see /sdcard0/storage/data but there are no subfolders in data folder. Sdcard is the root folder and there is nothing else

Thanks for the assistance

Edit: I installed a file manager but I still cant see the referenced directory and file
 
You could:

Uninstall the app, but I think you already did that.
Unmount and remove your SD card.
Put in a different, blank SD.
Check its ‘clean’ inventory.
Install the app.
See what showed up as a result.
Unmount that SD and remount the original.
Now that you know what you’re looking for, find that file and destroy it.
 
Hmm I dont have a blank sd card. This is very frustrating. I cant seem to find any trace of this app in the directories but it is installed.
 
is so you can use the trial multiple times? id always thought the limit would be based on your gmail account?
Be nice and buy the app lol :beer:
 
Lol yeah but I tried different email accounts and it doesnt work after the seven days. U register the accout through the app and if your time is up according to the app's memory, the vpn wont connect. The app's memory stays even after uninstalls
 
Hi again

The file is saved in an area which is only visible if you have root access. It's the developers way of stopping you using it free for ever. I think a factory reset would delete it but it seems a bit extreme. If your phone was rooted you could just delete the file.

Why not just create your own VPN server. Free, but requires a bit of work and a compatible router. Lots of resources and guides out there to rummage through.
