Time limit was turned off. iPad Air iOS 12.5.7 2) Page of categories of websites. Ellipses on top right always causes a crash. On this iPad and a newer one too. The premise is good, but the constant crashing is a bummer. 3) Needs a landscape view orientation. ### 3/5 — Developers *2023-08-21* Need more attention from developers to track and find open ports and … thing’s for vpn companies and make internet more free of filtering ### 3/5 — Nice job guys *2020-05-28* Why did you neuter the app by removing the middle box test? ### 4/5 — Great opportunity to volunteer! *2019-10-18* This is a great way to contribute to helping internet freedom! ### 4/5 — Not a fan of the new update *2019-01-16* I’m not a fan of this new update. It takes several minutes of actively waiting on your phone in order to run the tests. I can’t just hit run a few times and execute all the tests ### 4/5 — Speed rates need to be corrected *2018-01-28* Misleading rate of speed in tests reporting speed. Given the numbers being reported, speed should be mbs (megabits per second) not MBs (Mega Bytes per second). To get MBs you would need to divide the reported number by 8. **Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this. We have implemented a fix for this (https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-wui/commit/ddb2739623a9333ad77cf4c6515926011f8b6c52) and it's going to be included in the upcoming 1.3.1 release. ### 4/5 — Outdated tests *2018-01-23* Your web connectivity test includes ExtraTorrent.cc, which has not existed since last year, when the admins surprisingly decided to shut the doors without warning. I don't know how many other non-existant sites are listed in your tests but, you should update the lists to make the tests accurate. ### 3/5 — Nice for international travel *2018-01-18* Not very useful in the states. (Might be in the future, Ajit Pai, etc... #SAVETHEINTERNETFROMATALKINGPOTATOWITHAFIDGETSPINNER ### 4/5 — Love the app but *2017-02-28* It gets stuck on the "loading" page after you run a test and go to the past test section and hit "view"nothing is showing but " view log" works ### 5/5 — Finally ! Welcome tool that is much needed! *2017-02-09* I'd like to thank the Tor Project and its team of developpers for finally coming up with a mobile version of ooniprobe. This is much needed, and very much welcome. The app looks great. It takes what is a complex tool and makes it easy to deploy tests and find out results. Kudos to all! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Risky app you don’t really know where it takes your phone. *2026-08-05* .Chat gpt suggested this app to me I think AI is trying to frame me 😊 ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-04-20* The app only exits when run. iPad Mini 5 ### 1/5 — Dangerous app *2026-01-02* I had used this app many times over the last year, but after today I will not use it again! A hacker or hackers accessed my personal information in my phone including location, camera, phone calls, text, pictures, etc. it appears this happened while using the application tThe hacker(s) gave 3 messages in the Ooni app bragging about the hack. I have sent the information to OONI in hopes that they can resolve this issue snd put my mind at ease. ### 1/5 — Horrendously slow *2025-11-12* Nothing more to say. Takes minimum 30 mins to run all tests at once ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-02-06* Still crashing on 12.5.1 ### 1/5 — Feedback *2021-02-03, version 2.9.1* Iphone 6 . Ios 12.5.1 . Force closes ### 1/5 — Question *2019-03-04* Does it show apps used or popular apps. This is what confuses me on the scan ### 1/5 — Keeps reinstalling *2019-02-13, version 2.0.2* This app keeps reinstalling itself. AGAIN AND AGAIN! PLEASE STOP! ### 1/5 — New version crashes non stop *2019-01-14, version 2.0.0* iOS 12.1.2. iPhone X ### 3/5 — Needs sites update *2025-11-03* Multiple sites need update. Ex:feedtheminds [.] org is now defunct and has been hacked so scanning it is pointless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App works well *2024-04-01* You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work. Full transparency is great in a digital age. Useful utility for debugging Dev projects. Domo arigatou! ### 5/5 — Works well *2022-06-27, version 3.6.1* Works well on iOS. Great design good UX. Good for accessibility. ### 5/5 — Highly Valuable & Essential *2020-11-20, version 2.7.1* A must-have app for anyone who values Internet freedom. Very well designed & constantly evolving. A super simple way for everyone, from the novice to the black belt, to contribute to creating a safer online experience in these increasingly censorious times. 100% recommend. ### 5/5 — Freedom *2019-10-22* I use every app made from this developer I can. This app’s developer goes through great lengths for our freedoms not just with this one application. ### 5/5 — A must for everyone!! *2019-02-09, version 2.0.2* Top app in store for security + censorship. Hats off to the developers🙌 ### 5/5 — A must have !!! *2019-01-14* Incredible UI bravo!!! ### 5/5 — Great Internet Connectivity Tool *2018-01-25* I am very impressed with this free tool. I have paid apps like Net Analyzer but this free tool offers a bunch of great Internet related data for no charge and the information is easy to understand for the layman. ### 5/5 — I like it!!!!! *2017-03-15* Interesting app. Didnt even know that anybody was checking up on internet censorship, i'm glad to know about this project. It runs just fine for me, except, yes, like the one guy said, the page is blank sometimes, when i try to observe results of the last tests, but the show logs will work.it only lasts a short period and has caused me no distress. I think it just says test is completed before it is or its still compiling results or something silly. ### 5/5 — Good app *2017-02-25, version 1.1.2* This is a good app, does everything it says it does and its by the tor project ### 5/5 — Informed and assessed. Clear. *2017-02-12* Thank you gurus at the Tor Project. Very clear declaration of user risks and legal implications. I especially appreciated the quiz you have to take to prove you understand the risks. By the way, users don't have to run the Web Connectivity test if risks are too high. The Middle Box test and speed test are also useful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
