NetColors Support

NetColors shows, as a colour, how much of the internet is reachable from your iPhone right now.

Contact: netcolors@artemlosev.com — or in the app, Settings → Write to the Developer. The message then includes the app and iOS versions, which helps to sort out a problem.

Questions

What do the colours mean?

• Green — Full Access: all checked sites respond.
• Orange — Some Sites Unavailable: most sites work, some international services don’t.
• Red — Only Selected Services: only some Russian services respond.
• Black — No Internet: no site responds.

Does it work on Wi-Fi?
Yes, it checks any connection. The Only Selected Services mode usually appears on mobile networks.

Is NetColors a VPN? Does it change my settings?
No. It only checks availability: it does not change network settings and does not route your traffic.

How often does it check in the background?
When iOS allows it, roughly every 10–60 minutes. A notification comes only when access drops; turning a VPN on or off doesn’t trigger one.

What data does it collect?
None. History stays on your iPhone. See the privacy policy.

How do I delete my data?
Settings → Erase All Data, or delete the app.

Requirements: iPhone with iOS 18 or later. English and Russian.
