Comments on Orbot: Tor for Android for Android

★★★★★ Pedram · May 30, 2026

Seriously, this is the best VPN working in Iran right now, especially considering how the internet situation is here, as you all know. It's working perfectly! Thank you so much for continuing to provide such an amazing service.

★★★★★ Evyn Gray · Jun 9, 2026

Great app for keeping you p to private and safe while browsing

★★★★☆ B · May 14, 2026

It's okay. Like others have said, this app seemingly stops mid-use and the flow of bandwidth is usually slow. I think there needs to be some obvious bug fixes, a user guide built into the app with some basics know-hows and a rebranding. How about "Orbit: Tor VPN" it tells users it's a VPN immediately. Until then, there are better, free VPN apps to use. Hopefully people start updating this app. EDIT: Thanks for listening! Descriptions are in app, and it streams 720 video with minimal buffering! 4/5

★★★★★ Spot ꔷ͜ꔷ · May 28, 2026

Connected on Iran Tehran Wrangell, but slow speed!.

★☆☆☆☆ Alex Chimorozo · Mar 1, 2026

Not working. Samsung s25 ultra before was compatible with VPN, but now not working.

★★☆☆☆ Aryan Abdolahi Serajzadeh · Apr 26, 2026

Dns tunnel doesn't work in Iran. You need to develop it much further!!!

★★☆☆☆ Sly Ace · May 20, 2026

Can't connect to the server not confirmation validated it worked before now don't work

★★☆☆☆ Petr Pervy · May 7, 2026

It says "Connect to internet", but Wireguard goes through just fine. We need an option to disable this check

★★☆☆☆ Eric Jonathan Martin · Feb 13, 2026

Kindness mode absolutely drained my battery. Background usage over 9 hours ate through 70% of my battery. Love the idea of it, but I can't always have my phone attached to a charger all day.
