Contact Onion Browser and VPN Support

by Ellie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

First off they started charging, not a little, a lot. I liked the app enough that i subscribed. But not only did they start charging, they messed with the whole app. The browser with a fluently encoded vpn is not the first screen you see, now you sign in to the vpn, and transfer to a browser, and hopefully by that point app hasn’t crashed yet. The new update also has problems running the browser in landscape mode. I’ve only gotten it to turn sideways once in the two days I’ve been using it.
I cancelled my subscription before being charged luckily they gave a free week. Unfortunately, i will never try the paid version of this app again, and now need to find a new TOR browser.

Dudes. How do you sleep releasing a flawed update at the same time that you start charging for your product? You had the best browser, and I’m sure many of us would consider paying your extraordinary $40 a year subscription, but not after this. really shot yourselves in the foot here.
