Say hello to ExpressVPN 4.0 for Mac, inspired by user feedback
You asked, we delivered!
We're thrilled to announce the release of ExpressVPN 4.0 for Mac.
Over the years we've received tons of helpful feedback from YOU, our awesome user community. We’ve listened carefully to your feedback, and worked hard to incorporate your insights into ExpressVPN 4.0.
The biggest change you’ll notice is that the new app is more user-friendly than ever. We’ve also improved the look and feel of the interface so that it blends seamlessly into your Mac’s beautiful Yosemite environment.
New features:
- A sleek new design. It's a handsomer, simpler interface that's built to feel native to the operating system. And we think you'll like it.
- Favorite locations. Mark your preferred locations as favorites so they're always right at your fingertips.
- Improved location picker. Now you can find locations faster with new location lists, sorted by region and alphabetically.
- Automatic reconnection. If your connection drops unexpectedly, the app fixes that for you by automatically reconnecting to the same location.
- Seamless in-app help. If you run into any problems, you can easily contact ExpressVPN’s Customer Support team from right inside the app.
- Always know your connection status. The new app indicates your connection status on the Dock and menu bar icons, so you know your connection status at a glance. We've also added desktop notifications so you're alerted if something goes wrong.
- Express connect. Power users can now connect to and switch between locations using the menu bar extra at the top right of the screen. You can now skip the extra step of opening the ExpressVPN window to manage your connection!
We shipped the Mac app to all existing customers running OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) and above yesterday.

I really like this new design and these new features, but what about Windows version? Any updates soon ?
Hi Nikita, Thank you so much for your kind comment! :) We're working hard on a Windows version now. When it's ready, we'll push it out to users, and also update people via Facebook, Twitter, and this blog. Thanks for your support, and hope you have a great day! —ExpressVPN

The last update for MAC OSX is terrible. Please let us to download and install the previous version. -I can't connect to anywhere. -Each time I restart the app, I'm required to write the activation code. -The support is terrible. They told me they knew the problem but can't do anything right now. -When I hit the speed test button, it doesn't stop again. Next month I will pass to another company.
Hi Atilla, let’s get that sorted out. Please contact us via Live Chat Support here on our website and we’ll gladly assist you.
I like the new app, I am just not a huge fan of having a dock icon as well as the Menubar Icon. Everything I need to accomplish or get to I can from the menubar, with out having the express VPN dock icon adding more weight to my dock. If there could be a tick box in preferences that would just allow the menubar to be active while removing the dock icon. I would like that very much. I do like the ability to change my connection city straight from the app that is very helpful and works great other than what I described above. Cheers and thanks for all you all do.
