(The way Tor is is implemented in this app can conflict with the way iOS handles "sleeping" apps. This problem sometimes happens when the phone goes to sleep or if you go to another app and then come back.)
Try force-quitting the app and opening it again.
(Your network provider may be blocking connections to Tor. If you are an advanced Tor user and would like to try using "bridge" nodes to access Tor: see the "Using Bridges" section below.)
No. These services generally require using a dedicated app (instead of a web browser) to access streaming content on mobile devices. Using Onion Browser to access these streams is not currently supported.
Due to the secrecy of these sites and the semi-random “.onion” domain name, it is often hard to know the address of the site you’re looking for and if the site you’re going to is the real deal or if it’s a fake.
But I’m not a qualified directory for “.onion’ websites and likely don’t use the hidden website you are asking about. For what it’s worth, Onion Browser does come with several built-in bookmarks that I’ve selected and some of these do contain links to a variety of ".onion" sites, curated by folks around the internet. “The Cleaned Hidden Wiki” and “Reddit /r/onions” are both good places to start.
Searching the internet (via DuckDuckGo or Google) or checking Wikipedia (for more prominent sites) will be your best bet.
First make sure your iOS device is updating it's time automatically (Settings→General→Date & Time→Set Automatically), since connections to .onion sites require accurate system time.
Second, try accessing another hidden service — such as the hidden service for the Onion Browser website (tigas3l7uusztiqu.onion/onionbrowser
) or the hidden service for the Tor Project website (idnxcnkne4qt76tg.onion
) — to see if it's an issue with the hidden service you're trying to use. If you can connect to other services, the one you are trying to access may be down. As mentioned the Tor Help Desk Roundup in this post, "Hidden services are solely under the responsibility of their operators and they are the only one that can do something when a hidden service goes offline."
A list of known issues and “work in progress” future features can be found on the GitHub bug tracker. If you have a GitHub account, you can report issues over there, too.

Apple can give you a refund if the app isn’t working for you. Open this URL in another web browser for info on how to request a refund:

There's no guarantee that Apple will provide a refund in every case, but it’s still worth trying if you’ve tried everything else. Other issues with the App Store or your Apple ID should go to Apple iTunes Support.
