## Review summary

Users praise Onion Browser for fast performance and easy, solid VPN/browser experiences. However, the most recurring complaints are about pricing: the app is marketed as free but requires paid subscriptions after a trial, with auto-renewals and high weekly/monthly fees. Additional common issues include occasional disconnects, trouble restoring purchases after updates, and difficulties uninstalling the app. Overall, strong performance is tempered by concerns about the pricing model and several reliability annoyances.

### Pros

- Fast performance and smooth operation
- Easy to use with sufficient features
- Positive overall experience with the browser and VPN (high praise, strong performance)

### Cons

- Pricing model with deceptive free-to-use messaging and auto-renewing subscriptions (weekly/monthly rates)
- Access to core functionality gated behind payment (not free to use)
- Reliability issues like frequent disconnects and trouble restoring purchases after updates
- Difficulty uninstalling/removing the app or intrusive/mersistent prompts
