User Reviews

Onion Browser is praised for privacy and Tor-based browsing on iOS, including official/open-source branding and onion-site access without subscriptions. However, many reviews report reliability problems: Orbot often disconnects or loops, connections fail or don’t stay up, and performance can be slow, especially on weaker networks. There are iOS 26 compatibility issues and a removal of bridge support in updates. The app resets its state when backgrounded. Despite these, its privacy protections and Tor integration remain the primary draw.
Pros
  • Strong privacy/anonymity via Tor/Orbot integration
  • Official Tor Project iOS browser / open-source and free
  • Access to onion sites / browse Tor network on iOS
  • No subscription pressure / minimal monetization
  • Privacy-focused security praised by users
Cons
  • Orbot connectivity instability and looping (frequent disconnections)
  • General connection reliability issues / can't stay connected
  • Inconsistent performance / slower speeds on some networks
  • iOS 26 compatibility issues (memory limits / bridge removal)
  • App resets or loses state when backgrounded
