You can route clearnet URLs over Tor but not tor onion urls ovee clearnet essentially. Mobile apps and desktop apps could probably pack a tor daemon in the app to route any onion url over Tor automatically. IIRC, Amethyst did this? Is that correct @Vitor Pamplona?

No, Amethyst relies on the Tor proxy provided by Orbot. Routes throigh Tor allor nothing. I find websockets working over Tor surprisingly well. Once the connections are established with a few seconds delay the speed is acceptable. Amethyst is well usable over Tor of needed.
