Orbot: Tor for Android Description
Orbot is a free VPN and proxy app that empowers other apps to use the internet more securely. Orbot uses Tor to encrypt your Internet traffic and then hides it by bouncing through a series of computers around the world. Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.
★ Traffic Privacy
Encrypted traffic from any app, through the Tor network, gives you the highest standard of security and privacy.
★ Stop Snooping
No extra eyes know what apps you are using, and when, or can stop you from using them.
★ No History
No central logging of your traffic history or IP address by your network operator and app servers.
Orbot is the only app that creates a truly private internet connection. As the New York Times writes, “when a communication arrives from Tor, you can never know where or whom it’s from.”
Tor won the 2012 Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Pioneer Award.
★ ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES: Orbot is the official Tor VPN for Android. Orbot bounces your encrypted traffic several times through computers around the world, instead of connecting you directly like traditional VPNs and proxies. This process takes a little longer, but the strongest privacy and identity protection available is worth the wait.
★ PRIVACY FOR APPS: Any installed app can use Tor via the Orbot VPN feature, or if it has a proxy feature, using the settings found here: https://goo.gl/2OA1y Use Orbot with Twitter, or try private web searching with DuckDuckGo: https://goo.gl/lgh1p
★ PRIVACY FOR EVERYONE: Orbot prevents someone watching your connection from knowing what apps you are using or websites you visit. All anyone monitoring your network traffic can see is that you're using Tor.

Comments about Orbot: Tor for Android Android Version
It says that it has connected when it actually hasn't. Also, even when turned off, it keeps showing a permanent notification. If you click on it, including by accident, it will open the app AND KICK whichever other VPN that was active at the time. And the only way to dispose of that dang notification is to force-stop the app. Also, you cannot see the bridges settings without first turning them off... At the same time, Tor Browser works for me fairly well.
The app works fairly well, I don't have many issues with it. It does have a couple problems like failing to start sometimes and needing to stop it starting and start it again or needing to force stop the app to get it to work. I mean, it's a little bit of hassle but it's not that bad and it does work consistently for me when troubleshooting it how I said, but I do have to troubleshoot quite often. I'd like to be able to configure the Global option to choose which countries it can connect to.
The front-end is not so good (which is all I can really test). For example, instead of "cancel" and "ok" in the settings, there is "khansela", "kulungile". That doesn't make you look very professional. Also, it takes some time to get used to the interface. However, since shortly, I haven't been able to connect (it just keeps showing "connecting" forever, I also tried bridges). Whenever I change the bridge setting, it says "connection successful" but it still doesn't connect.
