* Access .onion websites ("hidden services" only available with TOR)

### 1/5 — No good

*2025-04-23, version 3.5*

It crashes before it opens

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately.

*2024-05-30, version 3.5*

Crashes immediately.

### 1/5 — Will not open

*2023-01-21, version 3.5*

Why is this faulty app still in the store? 
All it does is crash on iPhone 14 pro max.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2022-12-17, version 3.5*

I won’t eve start any more. Just crashes

### 2/5 — good app, bad bundled vpn

*2022-11-26, version 3.5*

the app doesn't collect any data while using it but if you want VPN correctly configured to work with Tor then you are stuck with the one preconfigured choice (stark vpn i think) which does in fact collect a bunch of your data. DOH!!! try again...

### 1/5 — Not worth my time

*2022-10-15, version 3.5*

Please cancel my subscription because I thought it would be a one time thing and then I would be covered for at least a year and that was not the case. I didn’t like the app so I deleted it. It wasn’t good at all. It’s a waste of time and money! I shouldn’t have to pay for something that I’m not going to use. It’s the worst app I’ve had ever downloaded and I wish I hadn’t!!!! Please let me know when you cancel my subscription and thank you for your time and help. Crystal Farmer

### 1/5 — dont waste ur time 🙏🙏💀

*2022-10-15, version 3.5*

### 1/5 — -

*2022-06-07, version 3.5*

The app doesn't connect to network

### 2/5 — $6.49 per week?! Highway robbery.

*2021-12-16, version 3.5*

The VPN subscription costs $6.49 CAD a week. It also asks for the charge up front so it isn’t clear the charge is for their built in VPN service and not the TOR browser.

### 1/5 — Robbed

*2021-10-23, version 3.5*

Took money on first click to view the app details APPLE  please stop this NOW
