With this App you are able to browse from over 600 different IP-Addresses in over 100 countries !

As your connection is routed over 3 different Servers before reaching its destination (Website) there is no way for the other end to find out where you are.
To secure your data along the path it is fully encrypted with strong 128bit AES Encryption.

► You need the best Anonymity you can get ?
Just select "Random" from the menu,
and the Software will automatically change to a new IP-Address every few minutes.

► You need to connect to a website from a specific country ?
No problem, just select a Server from a Country you want to pretend browsing from. To do so, just tap on the IP-Address in the upper right of the screen.

► You need to access content which is blocked by your ISP ?
No problem, as your ISP can not see what sites you are accessing there is no way to block them either.

Pros and cons of Covert Browser app for iPhone and iPad

Covert Browser app good for

Not worth spending a penny for it. i am extremely disappointed with this app. i dont think ive ever come across such a slow browser. Boring, boring, boring. An advice: Do Not Buy.
Runs great on 4Gs / 5.0.1 Not perfect, but there is no alternative at the moment if using an i-device. Well thought out and usually functional. Keep in mind ToR is often slow and flaky, this is not the fault of the browser Please continue development! Needs update to the version of TOR being used, built in search function (scroogle?), and landing page should be TOR browser check.
Works as expected. Would like a few more features with it. Identify as a desktop browser would be nice, I hate being forced to mobile pages. A great start for iPad privacy! How about an update some time? A competition browser was just released today that will identify as a desktop browser. This is a huge feature that needs to be in this browser I already love!
App works exactly as expected. Not the fastest browser but very secure! Use safari if you need speed...use this when you need anonymity.
It works pretty well, the only thing that is missing is a possibility of changing User-Agent browser header or simple predefined list of automatically changeable ones. Id like to see it after update.
Right now works not absolutely stable but definitely provide privacy. Dont have support for Cyrillic win1251 (at least), so there are major limitations for Russian users. Не поддерживает русскую кодировку, сайты каракулями. Но ребзя - красавчики! Немного нестабилен, но приватность того стоит.

Some bad moments

Will be more than happy to leave a 5-star review if the app is updated to do what is promising.
We need another update. It still freezes and i can not connect to the irc. (and i do not have tor)
Too slow cant view anything to make it worth your time. Should be free I feel completely jipped
The developer made something with so much potential but yet no updates it needs cookie support it needs to quit crashing and freezing ect ect ect if the dev would just update in regards to concerns all would be good but even email support is a no go
Does not work as advertised. First app purchase and my last. Slow (which I expected) but keeps bouncing me from any onion or normal website back to the homepage. Do not buy until recitfied!
All i can seem to view with this browser is Googles captcha page and a subsequent 404 error. Will there be a fix soon?
