Pundit added a comment to T163747: Add support for Tor or other proxy support to the Wikipedia Android App.
I'd be all for implementing Orbot to our app, ideally in a way that would by default route through Tor if content does not load normally (so, by default - automatic second attempt at loading), and also give a choice to default to Orbot. Still, automatic second attempt is important, as users are often not technically conscious, and this solution would effectively work around e.g. country-specific blocks.
Pundit added a comment to T168218: Tor hidden service for WMF websites.
As discussed before, I think it is worth exploring whether we could add Orbot traffic channeling for our mobile apps. If performance is an issue, as an option (clearly marked during set up), and if possible - by default.
