Not private and works half the time

You can’t find out where the nodes are that you’re going through and the nodes that are shown appear to be tracking what you’re doing amid sites you’re going to, Also this is no where close to be like the real TOR onion browser since you can’t change things which appear to be Apples intrusiveness to gather info about you. When switching back and forth between pages, the pages don’t display right and subsequently one has to quit the application and start all over.. frustrating!!!!

Well, there’s really not much to say about this app. Conducting several Privacy Internet Tests, it’s really good. From the hops to other configurable options, it’s great. It lacks however (for IOS anyway) in capability. There’s 3 tiers of protection. 1 being he most secure. It does say that some videos may not work, however no website, or ANY videos work. At all, some don’t even let you enter do to Captcha, and you can’t fill it out as it never loads. Which, I suppose is what it’s used for, but you can’t access anything to begin with. Tier 2, you can access YouTube, however comply with google’s cookies, with less anonymity. So beats the point of it. I hope this is an IOS thing, and can be updated. However as it stands, it does what it needs to, but it’s utterly and competently useless to try and connect to any website really.
Crashing and not creating secure connections
Douglas "Strange Quark" Reed
The app crashes on a regular basis, generally when opening or when typing text longer than a sentence or two. It is INCREDIBLY annoying to have to rewrite the same paragraph three times because the app keeps crashing, I’ve started Copying what I’ve written each sentence as a backup. In addition, on occasion it will just... decide to not create a TOR circuit, leaving me browsing on my own IP. Clicking “create new circuit” doesn’t seem to help, so I have to forcequit the app and reopen. I haven’t explored the alternatives yet, so I can’t say whether this app is worse or (heaven forbid) BETTER somehow than its competitors, but currently I’m very displeased.
Cannot disable Javascript fully

As others have posted - cannot disable javascript with this app. Some sites dont allow entry without it being off. Bad security.
Security hazard- cannot disable Javascript

Even when JavaScript is disabled in the settings, multiple sites detect JS running anyway. Too risky to use this app.
Wonderful browser
