The app is great its very simple to use its not like the other browsers that have all bunch of fancy things one thing only would love if you added the sound haptic on the keyboard and also suggestions as you write!!
99% perfect I just have one nitpick that maybe no one else notices or cares about.
The app icon is really dark. I get the whole dark mode and everything and I like that a lot. However, the app icon seems to ignore the brightness of my phone and appears to be dimmed down on the home screen. It looks really strange next to my other apps and it’s a nice looking icon, I just wish it was bright enough to see. Okay enough said I know it sounds weird and it’s not really a problem. More of a minor annoyance that I hope someone will agree with and decide to change :/
Thanks for making a great app!!
It should have new icons to pick inside the app, just like “apollo” and the white screen when u go back or forward it’s really annoying, it should be black.
The concept of the application is great and if you’re looking for an app That can invert a website you’ve came to the right page but it’s such a hassle to actually use it from day to day.
- The swipe from the edge of the display to go forward/back a page only works sometimes
-text editing in a text box on a website doesn’t work (this is extremely frustrating)
-the triple tap text to select all doesn’t work
There could be much more as well but in my opinion these necessities are the only things screaming at me while I use this app.
It’s a shame, I’ve had very high hope for this app.
I am happy to report that this is not one of those barely functional, cash grabs that sometimes finds its way onto the App Store. It really does feel like a regular browser so I do not think anyone would have difficulty adapting should they switch over.
The three finger night slider is probably the coolest functionality because even the lowest iPhone brightness can be a bit of a strain. You can go from literally complete blackness all the way up the original white light of blinding death.
There are only a few additions I would like to suggest. One would be to add a thin gray outline on the bookmark tiles and tab outlines to make them a bit more distinguishable. In regards to the bookmark tiles specifically, they kind of blend into the background too well. It is difficult to define how big the tile really is. The other addition would be a way to import Safari bookmarks, but that is because I am lazy AF.
Anyways thanks for the great app.
Guys, sent u an email about a month ago....still no reply. That just say that u don't have a good response team.
I asked about exporting bookmarks saved from safari, also when opening new tabs but staying in the first one, then u go again to the previously tab u opened and u have to wait it finally loads!!! That's just unacceptable.
When browsing on Google and searching for anything and the drop suggestions pop u can't tap on any of them! So it can search for it...also unacceptable.
And last....if u don't write www and.com the browser will take u to a Google search....also unacceptable.
excellent darkness
If I could give this app negative stars I would! It simply DOES NOT WORK! Absolute crap! They wanted money for this too!
Thanks to the quick developer response, I was able to get desktop mode working on my iPad by long-pressing the refresh button. Now the only thing left to make this perfect is a gray mode. At the moment, I can set it to normal white background mode and black mode with different levels of brightness, which is great for bedtime reading. A gray mode would be a nice balance for when I’m reading on the train or in the coffee shop.

Hi JesseRPI,
Thanks for writing in and sorry for the inconvenience. Berry does support Request Desktop Mode when you press and hold the refresh button and tap "Request Desktop Version". However, I should update it so that it does this automatically for more sites on bigger screens like the iPad. I'll put that update in this week. Thanks for the suggestion!
You can contact hello@berrybrowser.com and get that sorted out right away. As you can tell from the other reviews, I respond super-quickly and hope I can make things better for you!
Cheers,
JohnnyWas really looking forward to making a browser switch. I gave it three stars because it seems to work well on my iPad Pro 10.5...But not so much on my iPhone X. No matter how hard I try, I cannot switch between light and dark mode. In addition, not all sites are truly showing in “dark” mode...It’s more like an ‘inverted colors’ mode. Once these things are corrected, this browser will be dope!
UPDATE:
That did it! Thanks for the response! Seems that the Zoom feature in Accessibility Settings was on and prevented me from using the Dark Mode in Berry. Turned Zoom off and it works like a charm.

HI fotogenix,
Thanks for writing in and sorry about the issue. I've seen this issue before, and it might be because you have an accessibility feature turned on on your iPhone X which overrides Berry's triple touch drag. Try going to Settings -> General -> Accessibility and turning off anything that might be triple touch there. If this doesn't work, I'm happy to continue assisting you further at hello@berrybrowser.com.
As for the inverted colors, we're working all the time on improving the rendering. Please email me with the site in question and I'll fix it for you right away.
Cheers,
Johnny
