Orbot: Tor for Android

❤️

I love it! Thanks for still keeping the app supported for Android 7.0. You guys rock!

Ili ( I love it!)

nice

👌👌👌

one of the best VPN I ever seen

can't connect now

permission and pii requests for tor is absolutely wild. what the hell are you thinking???

please provide Pakistan IP addresses...

Good app. Highly recommend.

working perfectly good 😊👍

It is using too much ram.

very very good.. thank you

honestly, can anybody explain to me what's the point of this app?

👌

Every single day it crashes lately so I have to check it every day and half the time it's after disconnecting. I like it but if the issue is not fixed I will remove it from my device, it's not protecting us online if it keeps dropping.

great VPN

the best mobile application ever.

useless in Iran 👎

عالی ولی باید بلد باشی باهاش کار کنی بخصوص لینک های بات تلگرام عالی بود

Didn't work at all!! 👎👎👎

خیلی خفنه حریف نداره👏👏👏👏💥💥💥💥🌠🌠🌠🌠🎆🎆🎆🎆🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜💜

it could not work for more than a week

sorry, i dont allow notifications, and i dont allow apps that require notifications

"Exit" button doesn't quit app. You have to go all the way by yourself: Android settings, Apps, Orbot, Force close. Also, it would be nice to have an option "Connect upon application start". I use the app in "power user mode" as localhost proxy.

easy to use and they have simplified the tor bridge process

nice 👍

Connected on Iran Tehran irancell, but slow speed!.

current update not working on my samsung tablet.

good security apps

when it does not work in Iran its useless 👎

Lag has increased significantly after updating to the latest version.

Installed it on October 09, 2026, and it least with Snowflake AMP transport it works perfectly. Thank you

Crashing after update

ok

Since update app constantly crashing upon hitting tbe connect button, the same happens with kindness mode. App is effectively useless now.

My issues have been fixed.

Good

keeps crashing with new update

The latest updates with the removed start (!) intent is beyond comprehension. I cannot use it with macrodroid anymore. My security is my responsibility, and the developers could keep an option to re-enable IPC, but alas... And the connection stability is dropped significantly with the latest 17.9 - it keeps idling sending nothing, or just writes "ready to connect" on button activation without a connection. Series of forced stops and clearing the cache helps, but it is very inconvenient

it works but some times this app is litarly rage baiting me i was sitting there for 7 miniuts nothing happend

awesome

very very good

idk man I want that photo in kindness mode back

bad

Good if you know what your doing

I have used and loved tor for many, many years and will contimue to love and and support it as long as we.both shall live!

Привет роскомпозору

خوبه

no ads just tor VPN it's peak

ok. last update made the app better

overall it's great but i would say they also have to launch a desktop version of this app for Linux users !

Auto launches and I can't find any settings to disable the unwanted feature. This is needlessly slowing my connection while at trusted locations and makes the app more of a frustrating headache than anything. Uninstalling as I refuse to hand over control of my device to an app that lacks any reasonable settings. It's 2026 and options are standard, figure it out.

bloody ripper mate.

need to be fast and so much improvement form past 8 years

Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

This app keeps hijacking my phone. If I want to turn on my VPN, I'll turn it on. My phone runs slow. The internet is slow when I use it, which I don't even turn it on. It just hijacked my phone. I nearly had Facebook deactivate me because of my suspicious behavior by using the app which I never turned on.

Share this app with others.

It runs like a chicken, but at least Iranian people who are filtered even for movies and cartoons can use it for free because we don't have international paying card like Visa or Mastercard, hope the speeds gets better in the next century 😡

this app is not secure this is collect your all data history location phone number Whatsapp two step verification code even everything control your system please leave this app this is not secure 🙏

very good

Orbot keep stopping.

savior of freedom

new update sucks,crashed everytime,no stability

good browser for you 🤝😘

it's awesome

movies universe best max local minimum global max may max local max log_pn× infinity all logs blessing heckingson jumbo

Most of the time, getting it to connect is a total pain in the neck 🤦‍♀️

عالی خیلی خوبه

it was geeat at first,but now it doesn't get connected.

tnx this app need update for iran not connecting in iran

awesome little program

Впн не работает. Толку от этого приложения нет никакого, но после каждого перезапуска телефона запускается стабильно

very nice 👍👍👍

Sometimes slows your data down when using certain apps like chrome.

nice

Thank you for providing a safe vpn service for both browsing the internet but also providing a system wide vpn service for android including the apps, reducing the way of getting attacked, exploited by malicious actors and fraudsters who want to cause nothing but harm. We can't thank you enough. The open source community is the most important safe space for all of us.

How can I exclude some apps?

best vpn

I rate most every app way to low, this app is beyond amazing! This is the app you want and have been looking for! Literally THE BEST at keeping your privacy private. Why settle for less? Download the best.

Props to you Tor, love the work you're doing. Wish I knew about this earlier.

Sometimes a little bit of ق و فر و ناز کردن 😅

This application didn't make any difference and failed to work. Despite claims about proxy and VPN, it didn't function, and checking the IP address on the portal showed no change.

Sapotage privacy

No longer connects. Not sure if it is the app or my recent phone update, but Tor VPN works and this doesn't.

Even though Facebook is blocked in Myanmar, people can still use it. 🙂👌🫶

fast vpn with tor

this is a good app

exelent connection I have with Tor

Excelantay x

best

🫶🏻♥️

Combine this with other apps, mainly the tor browswr and things. Also, it's kinda broken :(

Doesn't connect anymore, consensus not signed by sufficient authorities. And I don't want to update because now they want camera and other unnecessary permissions for some reason.

light at the end of the tunnel

app is now vulnerable in Canada and can be tracked to your original IP. do not use.

I found I would block/slow down my wifi while removing it made the wifi faster

Like It 😉

ok

Had to uninstall. Doesn't allow most apps or Firefox to connect. *After update, most apps don't work when using the VPN while most did with the previous version. Can't see what country the relay is in, which is absolutely needed since several countries don't allow connected apps to work and I would simply change the identity. This update really just doesn't work.

App says connected but in actual it is not connected. It reveals the identity to everyone. If its connected it should not show results from my location and in my local language. While searching, I'm seeing several search results in my local language and that too from my current city. Not safe anymore. Also there is no update to this app in last 1 year. Are there no developers?

The tor project as a whole is amazing, and the fact that they offer all their privacy solutions for free is amazing. This app is also great, that is when it decides to stay on. It randomly shuts off CONSTANTLY. My cell provider ruthlessly throttles media streaming and this app apparently works to hide what type of data I am using from the provider, but sometimes the app will get in a cycle of stopping like every half hour or sometimes even immediately after restarting. It's so annoying.

Highly recommend (ORBOT) simplified functionality and ease of use for a VPN protection App. Definitely a winner in my opinion overall. Tho i didn't download the App here. i downloaded from uptown) this version is a mirror) of the original. install then (top right) 3 dots. Setting's proxy and ports) to fill in http & s , socks4 & 5 , copy what is there already .. numbers n stuff , so it isn't on auto default. Bottom right click on (the cog) tick all the box's for VPN security. Also slide VPN

False sense of security, highly unreliable. Orbot overrides its own settings and does whatever it wants. It automatically starts after reboot despite the setting not to do so. When running, the IP address stays the same. Apps linked to Orbot in its settings disappear again. Orbot randomly starts itself out of nowhere. Uninstall.

Tor-Enabled Apps don't have search option on app selection page, and not working at all! tried to first connect the VPN and turn it off, still not working. was great if we could only activate that without connecting the whole phone to VPN. please work on it, it's crucial!

It needs a possibility to proxy all apps on a phone with just hitting one single button. Orbot needs a cache and data delete several times a week and a fresh restart set-in to keep it running. And to always set in 600 apps manually one by one is (understandably) a bit annoying. Which is the reason for me to go with one of the old 15er versions, and never the latest version. But nonetheless it's a good app together with a good VPN app hand-in-hand to camouflage your real IP address.

This app almost never works, whenever I try to vpn it slows down internet to the point it just doesn't work anymore. It rarely actually does anything right and mostly just doesn't ever load sites, it's been like this for years and they seem to never even bother fixing it, if this keeps up ppl won't want this app anymore so do something already, I mean geeze u have so many bridges that don't work.

Works as a effective option for securing your connection while on wifi. I couldn't stand the idea of someone plundering through to keep tabs on my browser history. Allow bridging (for when necessary) and it performs flawlessly. It does seem to hinder the connection speed/data flow, meaning it slows it somewhat but has never failed to load the page. Settings/control options are very basic so I would recommend to entry level tech. Otherwise performs as it should.

2022 update - App crashes multiple times a week causing orbot app and servers to shutdown and needing to open app to restart 2017 -Best app, but please make the VPN work on all internet server's. Ie: make a tunnel to make the VPN bypass to be able to be used no matter what. I have to switch it off on some server's because it is blocked or too slow. Especially with this new repeal. All updates are appreciated. Keep up the good work!

The app used to work perfectly for me and now I can't use it! I had the app running for 9+ hours while asleep and still wouldn't connect! It said something about 2% strapped? Anyways it needs a update to fix this issue. I can't look up anything or watch anything that I want anymore because of it not wanting to work. Devs if you're reading this then please fix this issue for me ASAP.

Why does this app now give me a constant notification when orbot is "deactive". I deactivated and exited the app on purpose because i don't want to use it and therefore don't want notifications. Stop strong arming and bothering people with this new notification that stays on your phone when orbit isn't in use. The fact that I have to now go out of my way to turn off notifications from this app, just makes me rather delete it. Especially when this app hardly works as is.

This app has become unusable. What a shame. Edit: Another year passes by and still it is unusable. Sad. Edit again: It seems to be working better than before but I need to restart it regularly as it doesn't stay on when I have no internet (obviously) and when I turn it on again I have to shut it down first.

It works for a bit, and after a couple of weeks, messaging apps stop connecting, the app stalls saying it's connecting but nothing happens. I try refresh, switch to global-auto, nothing helps. I add apps to list. No change. Remove from list, no change. Solution? Uninstall and reinstall? I'll try that.

I have used Orbot for a while now and it WAS all good but recently it has really been a let down with POOR/NON EXISTING speeds, constantly breaking circuits every minute or so. 👎 I will most likely be looking elsewhere unless there is a hot fix ASAP ! (Can't see that happening) also a lack of updates I noticed which is probably causing these constant breaks.

2021.8.15: Works, I just have to periodically clear its data and settings (typically when its cache gets over 15MB in size), or uninstall it and reinstall. It doesn't always respond well to being put to sleep by power management, or changing from one network to another.

It's pretty good, though Orbot keeps disconnecting with no warning for no reason. Battery saving settings are off for the app. It usually happens when I play games, so it probably is battery saving settings that bypasses the user's, sometimes at random for no reason. To solve this I created a macro on Macrodroid that alerts me when Orbot disconnects. Besides that, the app works flawlessly

Used Orbot for yrs w/few probs. Lately tho it crashes constantly, takes forever to completely launch - if it ever does - & until it finishes launching, it won't let me get a new ID no matter how many times I hit the new identity button. And then only once. Suspect local hackers, which are a big prob here. But it cld be a glitch. Either way, makes it useless for the purpose I use it for - which is to thwart hackers. BTW this is the 2nd time posting this review. Last one got deleted somehow. Hm.

I have Samsung J3 (2016) and my mom has Redmi 6A. In both phones I installed this app and works properly for the first time but when I disconnect it and try to reconnect it, get stuck....and cancels connection or sometimes just stays like : ''Orbot is starting...''. So everytime I need to clear cache and data of this app from settings then it connects without problems. It is a great app, but it only needs that improvement. I would be glad if you consider my report, and would rate with 5 stars!

The app is actually very goodo for the purpose it's made. I have a issue though, after I used the app for about I don't know, 1 or 2 hours? It stopped working. It worked but it didn't work. The buttons could be turned on and off (power on and vpn) but they weren't working like they used to. The vpn button was turned on but the vpn itself didn't work and I went to a tor checker which said that my tor was turned off. And I did have my web browser checked.

Update 12 Mar 2020: Seems to be starting normally now. Hi. Love this app and worked great until about a month or two ago when it stopped opening on start up. I downloaded the updated version a week or so ago but it made no difference. Turned the auto start option in settings on and off and ran a Malwarebytes scan but no luck. Android 6.0.1. Also noticing some sites like Brighteon appear to have black listed your servers or detect it's a vpn and gives a network error message on any media you try.

At first i really liked the app, however after only 2 days it bugs me. I need to stop it for some services otherwise i am not able reach my accounts. So i basically just click the "stop" button in orbot. But today no matter what i do it does not stop. The only option is deleting it.

Unfortunately had to uninstall as it drained my battery in just over six hours. I had 95% reduced to 10%. No other app was running but I had been using this one. Obviously disconnected when I finished using but must have been running in background. This is a worryingly high level of battery consumption and I've never experienced anything like this prior to installing it. Googled the issue and I'm not alone !

It's great when it works, but its getting it to work that's annoying. I either have to remove all data of the app from my phone or delete then reinstall all together for it to work. That really isn't a huge problem for me though but I can imagine it is for others

Great app. But Whenever I stop the onion button and click the start again it wont start and no connection. I tried clearing the data and reopening the app and it works. But I am upset of selecting the apps again and I hope you could add "Select All" and "Deselect All" Button so that we wont waste our time selecting all of the app again. Thank you

I really appreciate that there are methods to escape from the elitists movement of personal info theft and trades as well as the Propagandists and liars that run most of the big names search engines and the like of. However it is a huge data and battery consumer so be sure if you don't need it running at all times to shut it down and spare the phone or computer you use some hard work. Fantastic at what the Tor project is meant to be for though and I hear it's always improving. Thanks to you all.

I do have one serious issue with this app. Other than this it is awesome but I can go into the "Tor-enabled app" screen and I will uncheck several apps that I do not want to run inside of here. I'll close the screen open it back up and they all have green checks under them again! Can you please explain this to me because maybe I should uninstall it and reinstall it from another source I don't know it's very odd?!

Personally, I absolutely love this app, as it lets me access anything with free reign. A perfect app, but it has some flaws, which, while minor, affect the experience ever so slightly. 1. Slow connection time - The app takes some time to connect at times, but this is acceptable for how well it works. 2. Random disconnects - At times, the app may randomly disconnect me from it, which cuts my connection to the blocked app/s I'm trying to access. Other than these flaws, this app is perfect. :)

Great anonymizer, less great for anti-censorship. I appreciate the time, effort and expenses that the developers and the relays are putting into this software. However, for the sole purpose of anti-censorship when streaming or downloading -in order to get a faster and more reliable connection and also to avoid putting a heavy load on the Tor network- I strongly recommend using some alternative tool (a VPN or a premium proxy app).

It used to work before the update. Now it's just a waste of time and effort. You guys completely ruined this app. It was great before hand. Now it doesn't want to connect half the time, can't dowload anything, and then it downloads partial files that just clutter up my dowloads file.

Doesn't work. I wanted to change the ip adres in order to access and download some games , and an app like Ria to send money but it doesn't work . It said you cannot access, or download from your country. I tried many times changing many parameters in settings but nope, same stuff. And this is the second time I tried this app as many recommended this app but I don't think it does what it's advertising to do. I don't think the VPN/IP masking works so is totally useless.

App comms still keeps stopping... When I restart OR request a bridge (if NOT active) usually fixes it... But lately, it's not been helping... Also, could you try to do something about bridge requests... I get the Gatcha is to rule out bots, but lately when I run it, either I can barely make out the code or I get told NO BRIDGES are available by the time I get the correct code entered... Any chance of streamlining bridge rqsts?? TOR s/b the gold standard for VPN apps

Roomate showed me everything i searched through the router. After using this app properly it no longer showed my history and (as easy) You must delete and reinstall once a week. Thats because hackers will slow your speeds down to the point of reinstall is mandotory. Fyi there are no secrets on the internet. Just know your phone is your diary and it remebers everything.

Update, goes dormant a few minutes after you start it. Can I just have an older version that works properly. It'll start, but once you close the app it just doesn't work. This is what happens when devs continually tweak apps. Why can't we leave well enough alone. And have working apps Works once, then it needs to be Uninstalled then reinstalled. Works great when you use it once, rather bothersome if you want to use it more. Developer's really need to fix what they broke.

App is nice delivers high speed than before, but I'm unable to use this app as it has 2 major issues:- 1). It automatically closes frequently. 2). After every successful connection the connection get's scrubbed and I'm unable to use the internet. My device info:- Redmi note 8 pro (RAM 6GB/ROM 128GB) MIUI 12 based on Android 10 I hope this issue will be solved by you soon. I'm waiting for the fix

Like many here, it worked the first time. I could choose my apps to put under the VPN mode, booted up the connection and it worked the first time. Now on subsequent attempts it just stays on Orbot is starting, also VPN mode button when turned on just immediately turns off and never works. Disappointing and hope it's fixed soon

Same comments as 4/20/20 review: Very flaky app. If 100% bootstrapped and I have to stop it for some reason (e.g., can't access a website or don't want any hindrances), then can't start it again (message will read "orbit is starting" for a LONG time.). If I uninstall & reintall, orbit will bootstrap in a couple seconds. Is there some clean way of stopping & easily restarting orbit ? (I have tried clearing cache and/or force stopping orbit to no avail -- thus leading to un/re-installing the app.

It's great for keeping your identity secret, but when I try to stop it, it never seems to stop.i wait and wait for it to shut down but it never does. I don't know if it's just a glitch or if it needs the time but it just takes forever... I have to restart my phone each time I use it. Other than that it's a great app.

I tried a browser threat test on my non-Tor browsers. When I use Orbot, both my WiFi triangulated and IP-derived location changed to the onion location I selected in the app. When I don't, both locations show a place near to where I actually am. Great job! Looking forward to more improvments.

It was okay in the beginning, and by that I mean for the first day only. Then my phone started to lag incredibly. My night mode shuts down randomly making my eyes hurt from the sudden brightness, and even after I restart my phone it still lags. Internet was slower (as expected) but I didn't expect everything else on my phone to slow down too. Overall I think it could work better, just not on my phone. It's a pretty old model (Samsung J5 Prime) so maybe that's why. Good luck to y'all I suppose.

This app is fantastic for bypassing firewalls but requires a lot of redownloading almost Everytime you turn it off. Aside from the self explanatory flaw you can easily bypass firewalls by turning on "share proxy interface with WiFi peers" and connecting the device to your phone with a hotspot. Overall a fantastic but can certainly use improvements.

Its great for getting around firewalls but the issue is that it doesn't bootstrap the client after you turn it off and turn on later. I have to either leave it on all day which slows my searches when I don't need to use krbot or access Tor. Either that or I have to uninstall and reinstall everytime I want to use it. I like this because it makes rerouting past firewalls so easy but the app leaves some to be desired.

Last few releases no longer connect. I have to keep rolling back to an older version: 16.1.0-RC-2-tor-0.4.0.4-rc Please fix the issue. Why the hell is Orbot asking for my phone identification numbers? It's supposed to be a privacy app. Minus two more stars for that, and now you're down to only one star. Used to be a decent product I thought, but it's gone to the dark side and is no longer trust worthy.

I'd like to give a 5 star, but is very annoying to have to reinstall the app every time the Orbot can't connect. It isn't because of bridges, it just don't reconnect, and with this I mean that it works once, twice, or even a little more when you stop and begins it, but after it it just keep showing that it is starting... Maybe I haven't waited enough, or maybe it does have a problem, and I would love that working... BTW, it works propperly as it should, that's why I still try it.

I really love ToR. I use it on my home desktop all the time. My problem is that I downloaded this app on two phones, and both times it worked amazingly for about 10 minutes and then dropped all connections / refused to reconnect to ToR. I tried uninstalling, clearing cache, phone restart, etc but nothing is bringing this app back to life. Get it working and I'll give 6/5 stars.

Useless. After pressing 'Connect' nothing happens apart from an option to swipe left and reveal data that means nothing to me. Reinstalled but no further forward. There seems to be no way of using this app to browse the internet which defeats the object of having it in the first place. Bring back the old Tor browser - a bit slow, but it did work.

Very disappointing. Even with 'sleep when no wifi' selected it hangs up or won't connect at all once I'm back in range. Also periodically disconnects for no apparent reason, hangs on 'starting' and I find I'm having to jump through a million captcha hoops to browse pages that were never an issue before. In all instances I'm forced to uninstall/reinstall to fix. I really expected a better quality product.

Love TOR, works great, sometimes a little slow, but with no ads, and because i can use it and select the apps that it works with, its VERY convenient (I can still access stuff that works on a local network, or things that don't nee a proxy with fast internet, and not have to switch when I want something through tor)! And so far seems to BARELY drain the battery even though its on most of the time.

The front-end is not so good (which is all I can really test). For example, instead of "cancel" and "ok" in the settings, there is "khansela", "kulungile". That doesn't make you look very professional. Also, it takes some time to get used to the interface. However, since shortly, I haven't been able to connect (it just keeps showing "connecting" forever, I also tried bridges). Whenever I change the bridge setting, it says "connection successful" but it still doesn't connect.

I really like this app, but lately it's been crashing a lot. It will say I'm connected to tor while it's still trying to connect. This is an issue because when i use .onion, it will say I'm not connected to tor. I can't use the app for what it's made for, please update it or something.

To be honest its all on the processing speed of the user's phone and internet connection. The moment I purchased a good phone with reliable service I've never had an issue. You should always delete it when your done, including anything you downloaded while using it. It's a great experience if you know what your doing. Most people dont even use all the setting properly. I love this and love how it doesn't even have to be a third party app. Gooood orbot!!!!

Orbot used to be a great free VPN, unfortunately now it either completely interrupts my connection or does not start at all. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I have also cleared the cache several times. Nothing seems to work. I hate to do it, but I am uninstalling this app. I will try it again in a few months. Maybe the bugs will be worked out by then.

When it works, its great. The first start after install goes fine, as long as I leave it running and wifi stays connected. As soon as it stops or drops the wifi signal, it hangs at the "starting" screen. The only thing I've found to fix it is reinstalling. Have tried force stopping and restarting the phone to no avail. Have also tried switching identities and servers.

Still has issues. Fails to start sometimes and gets stuck. Normally requires a force stotlp, or a restart of the device to work right. Same goes for shutting it down. Fails to stop properly, and when it does, it crashes. It sometimes requires a force stop while running to get it to stop running in VPN mode when it's not on, which has always been an issue, but was escalated with the last update in September.

I hate it ,I have to uninstal and install it back everytime I use it and sometimes when i start it up it brakes, so then I have to reapeat the process till it works, I tried to download the old version but there was to much extra stuff and ads in the way and it said you had to download a whole bunch of stuff which is really annoying.

Great app! I use it a lot! What's not great is I have to reinstall it/clear the cache every time I want to use it, otherwise it won't connect after the first use. Even with the use of bridges. I've never had this problem on desktop and I believe it is a fundamental issue unique to the app alone.

I feel confident whenever i'm trying to use orbot now because i know the security features and how they work. But the problem lies when i try to connect again when i disconnected and it just got stuck on connecting couldn't do anything at all and it just got stuck can you fix this? Anyway this app is pretty good would definitely have given it a five star if the bug or problem didn't exist.

Until you restore the functionality to orfox I will review this as one star. Nobody wanted to stop using Orfox, nobody wanted anything new (especially something that is obviously not as stable or as developed as orfox). I thought downloading the .apk would allow me to continue using it for awhile, but it seems that orbot is now actively rejecting orfox requests to go through tor. Citing "application request when functionality has not been used in sometime" or some nonsense. I want orfox back.

Im still learning about this app, theres alotta stuff u can use it for, & different ways to usr it as well. Like, ex.: U can let the app control ur routes, ports, proxy, sockets, etc., or u can choose some or all of them urself. It all depends on u, what ur capable of, n how u wanna do it at the time. I'm still learning it, but yeah. I like it. So far, so good..

This new version does not perform anywhere as well as the previous version. I've tried several ways and times to get it working. Takes too long to bootstrap, and at 100% always displays that 'Orbot Is Starting'. There are bugs that must be addressed. I erased the new version and reinstalled the previous version which works fine.

The concept is great. Set'n'forget Tor. The app itself is great, or it would be if I didn't have to clear the data/cache every time I try to restart my connection to Tor. It gets stuck at "Starting..." Every time I try to start after having stopped it or on boot. If you all fix this it'll be a definite 5-star rating from me.

Keep having to reinstall it for two reasons. First reason is the when I try to disconnect from for or the VPN it just won't, I try to disconnect from either of them, it disconnects for a few seconds then just reconnects even though it appears the buttons are not active. The second reason is that sometimes I cannot connect to tor, I click the big circle button and it just gets stuck saying "connecting." Other than that it works fine but it's really annoying having to reinstall it all the time.

Was a great app use to work no problem but then they change it and now don't work at all shame really as I put on YouTube how to use this site but since changing there programming of the site this is now obserlit so will be removed from you tube losing you users. You may as will c Remove the app as it no longer works and is a waste of much needed space on mobile phones.

A great way to secure your browsing and works especially well with OrFox and other privacy oriented browsers (when they're working). Unfortunately, as of today (9/3/19) the key browsers are non-functional, which seems to be a periodic problem... Privacy is still a bit of work.

It functions fine, but eternally has this "orbot is connecting" notification that cannot be removed whether orbot is running or not, which is completely infuriating. /Edit/ Alright, this is ludicrous, as soon as I posted this review orbot decided to start itself. I shut it off, left the app, and now the "orbot is starting" notification won't leave again. And yes, I'm aware of the background connection and notification settings; they flat out don't change anything. Uninstalled.

The VPN is good but how to fully control what apps are allowed to have internet. Like Netguard. Their VPN has a lockdown mode which blocks any connection requests and then one can select specifically what app can get online with either wifi or cell network. How can i do that.. or can orbot do that?

The VPN works amazing, but there's some issues: a VPN connection is sometimes established when the app isn't running, I get a notification that Orbot is starting when the app isn't running and when Orfox is connected, and I can't make the notification go away even when I force the app to stop. Please fix these issues. Thank you.

So I usually don't write reviews and especially not bad ones, but...my...GOD!! You gotta have the patience of a Buddhist Monk to deal with this browser. I feel old and a lil nostalgic because it reminds so much of dial up cable without the annoying, and reminiscent sounds of it connecting to the internet. As I type this my page is still loading, so it's kinda like I'm killing two birds with one stone. So I guess I will stick with slow as molasses thing til it gets better or find something better.

It worked okay for a while, kinda, but then it decided to start trying to force start itself. Over and over again. I'd stop the connection, close the app, and it'd just start back up on its own and reconnect. A little weird.

the app works for orfox it's vpn is really slow its the slowest i have used I have an s8+ and fiber optic my phone always fast but wene I power my phone off and on (and randomly) the internet suddenly gets really slow or doesn't work when i slide down the notification panel it says "orfox 0mbs thouch to disable" app decided to fcn turn itself on. when u press on disable it only turns it off for a few minutes. if u need the app for orfox I suggest deleting it when you are done

I love Orbot. I always prefer this whenever I want to access something which is not working in my country. But recently I read about this app that Hacker can steal your private data using this app. Is it true? Please reply me. If this app is secure and don't leak any kind of personal data then I'll definitely use this app longer and recommend it to others also, increase my google play ratings too.

Holy moly this is frustrating. Orbot protects ylur privacy for sure, but not well. It lagged my phone so bad that I can't do simple Google searches, much less more resource heavy internet tasks. The software refused to turn off, even when using "exit." It just turns itself back on after a moment. I've unchecked every option and it does nothing. The issues ended when I uninstalled the app. Privacy shouldn't come at the expense of usability.

Whilst it took me a while to set this up, now going very well. I love the anonymity seen in the advertising changes on browser and YouTube. clearly my usage is no longer being accurately tracked. I have nothing to hide but it's all one big data warehouse out there.

This is the only app which provides us privacy to the fullest. Don't complain about less speeds because when you switch it on, it connects to different computers located somewhere in the world providing maximum privacy without leaving any trace of your data. I loved it and would definitely recommend it for everyone. ♥️

When I can get it to work it fulfils its job well, however I find that orbot will occasionally after turning my device off completely or on data it will go for periods when i cant get any upload or download from the app and the vpn system doesn't do anything. I dont know if theres something I'm missing but then it should provide information for those not familiar with it.

It works very, very well on the first try for me, but after that, it doesn't want to work correctly at all until I clear the app data and restart it. Once some bugs get fixed, this rating will go higher, as *WHEN* it works, it really works well. It's just a matter of getting it to work most of the time at this point.

There is some Serious Bug in the app, I think. VPN mode gets stuck almost everytime and even after I close it, it still remains that way. I've to uninstall app to close it forcefully. When it gets stuck, I'm unable to make or receive any calls or message, not even on whatsapp. My network speed falls drastically during that period. Help me out Please. Overall, I love your App.

this app I stuck in start up. It keeps going through different connections and saying connection has failed. I have had this app for 2 hours now and still not working. I think it is time to go to another app. if you can fix this. Let me know and I will try it again.

for those of you like me and just trying this out without a lot of knowledge of these types of apps. IM WARNING YOU NOW! Do NOT log into any Google accounts while using this! Google will make you change your password! They see it as a possible attempt at hacking your account. Also notification s still pop up when setting for it is turned off.

I have been using orbit together with orfox for a few years now for a safer and more private way of using the internet it is easy to set up and use the only downside is that it can be slightly slower that using a normal browser but it is worth it for the security it provides.

it works. but when you switch it off, it prevents from using internet. have to reload the phone. but unlike other free programs it doesn't track or monitor your activity, at least that was in terms and conditions.

the app worked really well the first few times, but then it suddenly dropped down to 0 kbps download and upload speed. no change in my internet at all during this time. this doesn't change with what WiFi i use, whether i use wi-fi or data, or whether I'm close to or far from the router. i even tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't work. if this is fixed, though, it will definitely be much better.

I like the idea and was able to use the app with Orfox just fine. However when I close the app I find it constantly running in the background and am unable to stop it despite multiple attempts to do just that. As I don't want to see my battery getting chewed up I had to uninstall. will check it out again in a few months to see if an updated version is better.

It was excellent till the recent update when despite switching it off it continued to connect. Checked repeatedly but the icon showed it was off though in actual fact it was operational and VPN mode was on. Please revert to the previous version which did not have a mind of it's own. I'd have given this 5 rating had you not updated it. Plz address this issue as no one likes Apps with an automatic operating capability. This AI stuff with a mind of it's own is not acceptable. Uninstalled it now.

It worked perfect the 1st and 2nd time I used it. After that it didn't work at all and actually prevented me from connecting to the internet. This was all done on the same internet connection within the span of 2 days. Nothing changed, no settings or configurations. It just randomly stopped working

I have left a few reviews about apps that I use, but only the most essential apps I use get a "high five". I use a very elite list of apps on what I call my "toolbox" list. The Guardian Project has been developing some of the most robust and effective security tools, for a while now. I use Orbot and Tor on a regular basis on all my devices. Folks, your every action, every post and your most intimate information is being gathered up by lord only knows who, Change a few habits use Orbot and Tor to fight back

This app always worked perfectly for me, I've been using it for about 2 years but after I uninstalled it today and installed it again something called connection request shows up and it gives me the option to cancel or OK. It won't let me tap OK no matter what and if I tap cancel it will be blank until I uninstall and install it again. So pretty much I cannot use this app anymore.

This is the thing I searched for, It can actually connect you to the tor net from your phone, you can even change your IP in between your browsing that gives an extra level of security while roaming in the roads of devil. I only have one problem, it somehow closes itself sometimes and also it never appears in the recent apps tray. Any legit cause?

As soon as I enabled this app both my emails told me they had unsuccessful sign in attempts and then my passwords were promptly changed. I don't have definitive proof that it was orbot, and I've even used tor on my computer with no issues. It was quite SUSPICIOUS however...

No app is perfect, and orbit definitely has a few bumbs. But when it comes to something as serious as personal anonymity on the internet, this app is my go to. Its super easy to set up and use, making web privacy a practical reality if you actually use the service. Thank you Orbit and thank you also Tor.

Good app for browsing securely. Works best with a compatible browser. You will notice a slower connection, but this is manageable and this allows viewing of content, even video. It would be better if it allowed the user to switch off default settings when required as does the Windows version of the Tor Browser to help with accessing some Web pages
