Onion Browser is the original free and open-source Tor-powered web browser for iOS. Onion Browser helps you access the internet with more safety and privacy, and no extra cost to you.

“The best Tor-related offering on iOS right now is Onion Browser” - The Daily Dot, October 14, 2015.

Featured in: The New York Times, The Guardian, Salon, TechCrunch, Gizmodo, Boing Boing, Lifehacker, Macworld, The Daily Dot, & others.

FEATURES:
• Browse the internet over Tor:
- Protect your privacy from website tracking
- Secure your traffic from insecure wireless networks and ISPs
- Access .onion sites that are only accessible over Tor.

• Fight online tracking: block scripts and automatically clear cookies and tabs, based on your preferences.

• And more privacy-enhancing features!

DISCLAIMERS:
- Web browsing is much slower than through a normal web browser or a VPN because your traffic is encrypted and relayed through the Tor network.

- Onion Browser might not work on networks with advanced network restrictions. If the app does not connect, try using bridges (or a different type of bridge), force-quit, and then restart the app.

- Use of Onion Browser is at your own risk; remember that sensitive data does not always belong on a mobile device.

Pros and cons of Onion Browser app for iPhone and iPad

Onion Browser app good for

!!!! A short warning to all iOS 9.3.5 users. The new Onion Browser 1.7.0 crashes on my iPad 3 with the latest available iOS version 9.3.5. !!!! I have contacted the developer to get a fix. Beside this Onion Browser is a great app and for me the most trustable TorBrowser on iOS.

Works pretty fast and solid. Some (certain) sites cannot be accessed, though.

Bought it used it...result is i use Tor just on my iPad and Never again on my Laptop.... Kaufen kaufen kaufen kaufen

I love everything that the TOR team and EFF do to maintain the peoples right to privacy. Sometimes you need to look up medical information for yourself or a loved one and you just dont want companies tracking that kind of info. So it is so nice to see the TOR browser come to iOS devices. One caveat: It takes time to establish an encrypted connection. its worth the wait. read an article while waiting! Thank you TOR team!

Id give it a 5stars rating but there is mo way to save picture or any documents for that matter.Same as covert browser :( Update anytime soon?!

This is an amazing app that allows simply latching onto the tor network which I use exclusively on my laptop so being able to use it on my iPad is amazing. The speed of the app is very quick an usually connects faster then the tor bundle itself.

Some bad moments

The browser crashes on ios10 before it will even load. What a waste of money

Running on iOS6 and doesnt work at all, useless and waste of money.

This app does not want to go to any website no matter what I do it will just stay on the main page.

Any post submitting data ends with POSTFIX error. So this app is totally useless. I dont mind to pay for apps, i am programmer too, i know how much work app needs to be written. But when i have to pay for app which doesnt work i feel cheated.

Ive used tor before on my computer but this doesnt seem to load a single page. iPod Touch 4th gen, didnt work under iOS 5 or 6...

Nothing happens. No pages load. I can surf anything. A complete fail.
