Fails to connect

Because of “error” the app cannot allow me connecting in any way. A deviated hacker i guess from cyber sec told me even vpn usage would have not helped my condition and they are calling me with other name in the street since years. Mixed me with an assassin identity while hiding and torturing. Apple says it cannot be possible that iphone got cloned and split while it is not true. Writing from italy. Need help.

Too many errors

Does not connect most of the time. Now a days a get a vpn errror

Отличное приложение.

Не смотря что оно бесплатно, оно продолжает обновляться и заботиться о конфиденциальности. Искренне надеюсь на продолжение проекта.

Can't connect

I cannot connect with the Onion browser using Orbot with either a Direct Connection or Smart Connect. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max with iOS 26.6.1. This happens whether lockdown mode is on or off. Since you have your own VPN, I turned ExpressVPN off.

Can’t change app language

My device language is not my language so apps and websites belive i am in the contry my vpn is set too but in this app you can’t change the language so i can’t understand.

DOES NOT WORK as of 14 August 2026!

An error message popped out

> The VPN session failed because an internal error occurred.

Very private

I love it, it’s the best way to remain private online. Your IP has 4 layers of protection while connected with Orbot.

10 stars

It has not crashed yet but I’m in the USA and I can get on the hub with Out I’d so I am happy 10/10

Disconnect bug

Version 1.12.0 establishes circuits but disconnect after 5 seconds, in a doom loop

Too many errors

Does not connect most of the time

Funziona. Interfaccia da migliorare.

Credo che la leggera lentezza sia giustificata. A me funziona tutto, però ci sono due problemi. Primo: quando vado alla schermata home e poi torno, sparisce tutto. Secondo: l’interfaccia, comprensibile ma da modernizzare.

Should be 18+ rather than 4+, kids shouldn’t have access to this.

Dear Orbot team, this app connects to the dark web and I don’t want my kids to have access to such things especially with all of the sensitive stuff on there. Age up the app please especially when other tor browser apps on the App Store are ages up to 16+.

Don't bother

Installed this app and it made all my other apps constantly crash, tried installing/reinstalling no different. Plus it made my phone very slow, deleted it now my phone is back to normal.

I mean it’s alright

It’s alright, a bit slow but dose work

Funktionierte früher besser (wesentlich schneller)

Manual DNS Resolver feature request❤️

Hi, I'm writing from iran. I was hoping if we could get a second manual multiple dns resolver input or a dns scanner even. During this digital blackout android users have been using clients that support dnstt and multiple dns resolvers, would be great to have it on tor under dnstt tunnel section or as a separate option, thank again!
