Onion Browser and VPN 17+

I personally had tried many of the free Tor browsers available on the App Store. None of them really worked and suited my needs as well as this one. Easy access to the Dark web, also known as .onion sites, which is very good, as that is the main purpose of Tor for me. Also works great in combination with my VPN app, no problems. The only reason that it's not 5 stars is because sometimes websites that I know are active and functioning, will not load and the app will tell me that they are not available. This is however, a minor issue. Overall, as I said, the best free Tor app on the App Store, as I cannot speak for the paid ones, for I did not try them.

So, I was chugging along dealing with this app - it’s not the best but I was getting used to it’s bad points and was resigned to it. For instance, the catchpas (sp?) were all jumbled so you can’t really fill them out. The browser back button is badly located if you’re using the keyboard I have cause you cant reach it. The list goes on. But I was all “whatevs, this is entertainig” and then all of a sudden the app stops and demands that I leave a five star review or else I could not continue to use it. Which...OK...I paid MONEY for this???? So....I’m not sure where you guys get off demanding crap from me when I already gave you money?

I have no way to know if that was the only weird demand that the developers were going to hold the app I PAID FOR hostage about because at that point I wanted to never use this app again because I don’t like ppl that lie. And that’s what this is. If you don’t leave them 5 stars you forfeit your money. So, just for the record, this is how they got such a high star rating - by hijacking ppl after they gave them money. So that’s who you’re dealing with here.

Hi, thanks for the time you took to write your review. We'd like to take this opportunity to let you know that we have recently released a completely new, redesigned and improved version of the app. It has a significantly better performance and we believe it has become a pretty great tool to access the internet using either VPN or TOR browser. We really hope that you will consider giving it another try and we'd love to hear your feedback. Feel free to reach us anytime by writing an email to reviews@bendingspoons.com.

I just downloaded the app and the very first screen you get is a subscription screen. For starters, it’s $9.99 a WEEK! $520 a year to use their services, WHAT?! A VPN and Tor on a PC is less than $50 a year, and that’s for pure animosity! Why would I pay $480 more a year to be tracked by the very company claiming to help us not be tracked?
That’s just the start of my issue with this app. The second complaint comes down to the fact that you have to subscribe through Apple ITunes. This poses a massive issue with me about security. The entire purpose of Tor is to be anonymous, which isn’t possible if you are being tracked by Apple. As well as Apple tracking you now, you also have their hosting service tracking you.
For an anti-tracking type of business, this doesn’t seem right. You have to sign up to be tracked by multiple companies in order to not be tracked? One of those companies being APPLE?! I’ll pass, and I recommend anyone who actually cares about privacy to delete this app too. They are NO more secure than Firefox, chrome, or explorer.

Hi, we are really sorry to hear that our app did not live up to your expectation. We would like to reassure you that your information is completely safe, as we don't track it nor use it for any other purpose. Thanks to a new and improved version, you may now have a significantly better experience. We hope you’ll consider giving it a second try!
