1. It sometimes requires a force stop while running to get it to stop running in VPN mode when it's not on, which has always been an issue, but was escalated with the last update in September.Update, goes dormant a few minutes after you start it.

2. 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.

3. :)Orbot used to be a great free VPN, unfortunately now it either completely interrupts my connection or does not start at all.

4. I'd like to be able to configure the Global option to choose which countries it can connect to.To be honest its all on the processing speed of the user's phone and internet connection.

5. The first start after install goes fine, as long as I leave it running and wifi stays connected.

6. Gooood orbot!!!!Works as a effective option for securing your connection while on wifi.

7. It gets stuck at "Starting..." Every time I try to start after having stopped it or on boot.

8. Slow connection time - The app takes some time to connect at times, but this is acceptable for how well it works.

9. The app itself is great, or it would be if I didn't have to clear the data/cache every time I try to restart my connection to Tor.

10. It does seem to hinder the connection speed/data flow, meaning it slows it somewhat but has never failed to load the page.

11. Random disconnects - At times, the app may randomly disconnect me from it, which cuts my connection to the blocked app/s I'm trying to access.
