Great but needs work

This is a great app, but it needs the ability to configure tor bridges. When that day comes I’ll up my rating to 5 stars.
Too good to be true- except it is true

I was searching the App Store for a Tor browser app with VPN, yet only finding reviews on each app all containing similar stories- apps that had you rate them before you can use them, apps that were once good but introduced adds which gave away your VPN (and were extremely frequent and annoying to boot), apps that are too slow to be justified, and apps that did not provide the protection that they initially promised. So when I saw that this free app was meant to be an improved version of the older version of Red Onion, I was cautiously hopeful. Could a free app really be so good? The answer, as I soon found out, was yes. This app passed the tests on security-checking websites, uses Touch ID, can toggle Flash for security vs. function, and much more. It even blurs the display when not open, preventing anyone from taking an internal screenshot of the browser. Would give this a much higher rating if I could.
Barely functions, and not well, at that. Terrific VPN, though.

After having use the Red Browser for quite a long time, I figured I could expect from this app something similar but improved. I could not have anticipated just how poorly this app functions. It often just does not reach the destination, where as Red Browser does. It has massive troubles with a variety of site complexities and densities. My advice would be try it out, see how awful it performs, and then just use the VPN and switch to Red Browser for your actual needs. Good luck!
Was great at first, but...

At first, things were splendid. The app worked just fine, functioning as a tor browser. However that all came to an end when it slowly started to get - well, slower. I expect tor browsers to be a bit slow so that isn’t much of a problem BUT I do have a major problem with the download function. Like with the speed, at first it was excellent. All at once the download function stopped working, as every time I tried to download a file the notation would pop up where the download button is and then quickly go away, and the file would just be stuck at 0 mb and 0 mb/s. Next to whatever file it is I tried downloading there are two buttons stacked vertically: a red X and a button that looks like a download arrow. If I press the latter of the two the app crashes, which happened multiple times in a row from multiple sites, hence my lengthy yet stern comment concerning this app. Please fix it :(
New identity

Their is a bug After you close browser. VPN stays connected. Also can you add new identity option like in red browser
Garbage

Straight garbage, honestly like come On guys why would you even charge 1.99 for a product that doesn’t work.
App is completely useless

Unable to connect to any sites and after trying to use it once, now the app continually crashes or gets stuck on the bootstrap screen. Most of the time it doesn’t even begin the process, staying at 0%. On very rare occasions it makes it to 85% but stalls at the handshake. If I attempt to close and reopen it gets stuck in an infinite loop of opening and crashing. Really poor performance in general.
