[liberationtech] Tor as Onion browser on iPhone/iPad

Saw this article on TechCrunch today:

 If, for whatever reason, you need to cover your tracks while you are

Does anyone have a link to a review of the potential advantages and/or
disadvantages to using the Onion browser app on iOS?

I also believe I read that the author of the app now in the Apple App store
planned to donate 10% of his profits to the Tor foundation, although that
might be hearsay.

Best,
Rohan
