Onion Browser is free iOS app published by Mike Tigas
Great but still need some improvement
Unlucky God
App works great. In my opinion, dev can even make it better by adding “Open in new tab” option like in Safari.
Battery killer
josevnz
This application managed to kill my battery phone in a few hours, even without using it. I noticed than the browsing got very slow and then my battery utilization went from 95% to %7 for two days in a row. Something is left running on the background even after you kill the app, I had to shutdown the phone and uninstall to restore my battery usage back to normal. Please avoid until this is solved.
Best iOS alternative
Msbarnes87
Onion Browser has been the best Tor Browser alternative for iOS. From what I have seen, it behaves the same way that the PC Tor Browser does, offering many of the same features, security and anonymity. Of the many Tor browsers for iOS I have tried, Onion Browser tales the cake. Knowing that The Tor Project endorses Onion Browser is a huge step forward for Tor use on iOS and mobile platforms I general. Until The Tor Project is able to develop and release the real Tor Browser for iOS and mobile, Onion Browser certainly does the trick. These days, in an extremely mobile world, Tor on mobile is much more important than Tor on a computer, and I believe that most people believe the same. Literally the only issue I have with this browser, is the fact that if the app spends longer than a few seconds in the background, it will lose its connection to the Tor Network, forcing us to force quit the app and re-launch it. I understand the limitations and the technical stuff with iOS, and that is the reason for this, but if there were a workaround that could be implemented, that would be fantastic. Because of the app losing its Tor connection, and requiring a force quit to reconnect, it causes me to lose anything and everything I am doing online, which is a real set back. Other than that, it is the best Tor Browser I have used.

Update?

Why hasn’t this app been updated for 8 months. I believe this would cause a security risk.
Just updated and gives error on start

Don’t you test your app before releasing any major updates?

Well designed, works great for me - i like having the option to have windows close on screen lock, or when the app is suspended
Captchas not working anymore

With your most recent update it broke captchas, embedded images, and proper spacing between the search bar and iOS info such as time and date.
