Rotten Onion

When I try to open the app the home screen reappears. The app does not open. Junk. Don’t bother with it.

Software Bug!!

Ever since the update this App doesn't load with mobile network!! I only work on fix WiFi which is no use for a mobile App! Also video doesn't play like the old version! Please fix this App

Can’t use the browser

I can’t select anything at the top of the browser, I can’t open tabs or click the search bar….how am I supposed to use a browser if I can’t use the browsing options?
It looks nice, but I can’t use it….

Java does not actually turn off

I checked on several websites with Java testers, and Java remains ON even though I toggled the switch in the app settings. What is going on?! Please fix this

Doesn't work with mobile, WiFi only

This Apps didn't work on mobile phones! It freezes and refuses to launch! It will only launch with WiFi, which is useless when you are out & about .

Without any support

Just get the money and live us alone with app problems.

Good

If YouTube shuts a video down, you can make a copy on Red Onion

It’s slow but it does save videos on here and accesses websites normally not found on safari
