Unblock-US has an app but it's 99p.
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/unbl...689783500?mt=8
It might be worth getting. I don't think it's an official app but Unblock-US do inform people about the app on Twitter.

I use Unotelly so for me it's just a simple case of using the app on my phone and changing the region.

I use a free application. I mentioned it on here once and about a days worth of comments got deleted Probably best we leave it at that. I don't think there is any appetite, from the site owners, for internet region circumvention to be explained or promoted.

Apple charge a yearly fee to be on the App Store regardless of the price of your apps (I believe about £80) whereas for Google Play its only a £25 set up fee.
Apple App Devs use paid apps to fund their yearly fee.

Unblock-Us requires a subscription of a few quid a month. You need to go to their site and set it up.

You can trial unblockus free for 7 days without entering credit card details (just an email address). It's 5.99 Canadian Dollars p/m so around £3 p/m

It depends.
VPNs (as I understand it) can reduce your broadband speed as it goes via their servers and BB links.
Unblockus, is a smart DNS service rather than a traditional VPN and does not reduce your broadband speed.
And at £3 p/m, unblockus is hardly bad value IMHO.

Plus with Unblock-Us you can switch between the various Netflix regions at the press of a button. You can't do that with a VPN.

It is but it differs in the respect that it will only work with sites that they make it work with; I guess that's part of the Smart DNS aspect of it? One of their selling points is that it doesn't affect bandwidth, whereas some 'standard' VPN's do.
For some people, the limited number of sites that it works with may not suit them compared to a standard VPN, but it covers the ones I'm interested in and it has been completely reliable.

You can use it anywhere. I have a mate in Australia who occasionally logs into mine to watch their exclusives like House of Cards. Their only limit is how many devices can be logged in at the exact same time.
