West World SS VPN is a Chinese-based service with a smaller server network. Still, several of the servers are on dedicated, high-speed lines. Despite having a few good features and a multitude of plans, I dealt with connection failures. Not only that, it needs to be more transparent with its logs policy.
It's compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, and routers, and offers apps for iOS and Android. At first glance, it doesn't appear West World SS VPN has an app, but you can find it under SS VPN. It just depends on what country you're in and what app store you are using.
West World SS VPN's server network is extremely small at 70+ servers, that are spread over eight countries. Of those servers, 20+ are standard servers, and 50+ are high-speed servers on dedicated international lines.
Users can choose between Trojan, V2Pay, SS/SSR, IKEv2, and OpenVPN protocols. I recommend using OpenVPN or IKEv2 for security. West World SS VPN says it doesn't keep logs, and I couldn't find the information I needed on its site (or get a response from support).
However, it does say it's government approved. The Chinese government is well-known for its heavy censorship of VPNs and West World SS VPN doesn't have a kill switch, for these reasons I won't recommend it for torrenting. If you need a VPN for torrenting check out these trusted providers.
The interface was clean and it was easy to select a server from the app, connecting took a while and I was kicked from the server at least twice. When I did connect I wasn't able to access Netflix. On the other hand, I was able to watch YouTube uncensored without buffering.

Installation & Apps
5.3
The installation process for PC wasn't the smoothest. I had the option of scanning a QR code or choosing to manually download the client, either way, the result was the same, it wouldn't work on my Windows device.
After several tries, I gave up and installed it on an Android mobile device, which didn't require as much effort. The whole process took about 10 minutes from installation to finding a server. The app interface was clean and it was easy to navigate, choosing settings only took a couple of clicks as well.
Pricing
5.3
West World SS VPN has multiple packages available, 7 to be exact. The monthly plan is pretty straightforward, users receive unlimited access to 3 standard servers, and rate access to 3 high-speed servers. Rate access means data use, West World VPN offers 100GB with its monthly plan.
Next are Yearly Plan A, B, and C, and 3-Year Plan A, B, and C. Each plan gives you unlimited access to 10+ standard servers, and rate access to 50+ high-speed servers on dedicated international lines. The only variation is each A Plan gives you 100GB/mo. data, the B Plan provides 200GB/mo. data and the C Plan comes with 300GB/mo. data.
Westworld VPN resets data every 31 days. Plans are renewed every 31-, 365-, and 1095-days respectively.
Reliability & Support
3.3
The server disconnecting initially was a major issue and I wasn't able to get a hold of support, I just had to wait it out and keep trying.
I was able to connect but I never did receive a response, at least not in the last 72-hours. So I have no way of knowing if it even received my tickets regarding the logs policy or the server connection issues.
