Leave a Review Opera
Useful in a Noble and Creative Way
I didn’t have a high expectation in the beginning since there is already too many outstanding browsers for iOS. However, Opera proved me wrong with their unique way of letting users browse the Internet. As I got used to it’s settings, I found this browser much easier to search on the internet and the security setting is on par with any other heavily security focused browsers. However there is still some room for improvements, as it is a bit slow and laggy sometimes on iPhone 6s Plus. Also, it does not have an option for the browser to automatically start in an incognito mode. Other than that, most of the times, I found the browser easy and smooth to use with minimum worries on privacy and security. I thank everyone who worked hard to build this browser for the users. This is a great start and an alternative option to the Safari Browser. 👍🏼🙏🏼😁Show lessBPa2c
Just gorgeous. Thank you.
This browsing experience, crafted by the Opera team, is so impeccable and impressive. I believe that the new version of Opera marks its return. Some may remember the days of Opera and Netscape Navigator. I have watched this browser evolve over the years knowing that it would be an outlier (and also using it on Linux), but it's always been difficult for it to gain traction. However, I always held a place for it in my heart, and I love the brand and name. So simplistic and elegant. I enjoy seeing the unique take on browsing, and I feel Opera is pushing browser UI/UX forward. I am very proud to be using this browser on my Mac and iPhone. Please keep up the good work, designers and developers. You certainly have fans left!Show lessjaredroussel
NOT FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH iPad OS-13
It is fast. BUT, Lots of “new features”, are all dubious benefit or usefulness, or functionality. And, these appear to be at expense of core functions that have become mediocre at best. Problems are:
1, Saving to PDF or iBooks causes it to freeze. 2, Too limited options to save web page . 3, Open link in new tab inconsistently works. 4, Will not open or copy web pages to iBooks. 5, IMPOSSIBLE TO BOOKMARK and categorize bookmarks, as every other browser easily does, 6, frequently , it freezes and must be restarted. 7, Way too difficult to print web pages let alone print them accurately as WYSIWYG. 8, Needs more viewing options and ability to limit videos or resize them, 9, inconsistent spell check. 10, Navigation is needlessly difficult, inconsistent and non-intuitive, 11, Where is the ‘go back’ or ‘previous page, button? 12, What moron decided to put a screen blocking purple circle in middle of screen that doesn’t go away??.
IN SUMMARY, IT IS NOT FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH iPad OS-13.Show lessoutdcjrcgjk6
Yo, it’s easy!
This browser is super fast and I like the fact that the ad blocker works on SO MANY THINGS. I’m in love with it. It works when I’m trying to see previews of videos without clicking on them. It works with privacy and bypasses asking if I accept cookies if I select it.
TWO COMPLAINTS! There is no way to easy access bookmarks. I need them because sometimes I don’t visit those websites but I need to remember them just in case I need them for work or playing a game. And there is no way to open links directly from mail or text messages even after disabling Safari. I think once those issue are resolved, this will be the number one browser for sure.
Thank you for what you do, Opera! You’re the real VIP!Show lesschezsuis
Almost great..
The app’s UI is very pleasing to look at and rewarding to use. I especially love that the home screen automatically sets focus to the search bar. It’s disappointing that most of the big names (Firefox, Chrome, among others) require a second tap before allowing you to type your URL or search query after launching the app or a new tab.
The “My Flow” feature is a bit of a mystery to me, as I’m not exactly sure how often most users need to send themselves a link or a text, when a synced bookmark is usually just as easy. For my basic workflow I can’t really find a place for it.
This brings me to the reason my review is only 4 stars. BOOKMARKS. Or should I say, the lack thereof. Please oh please add bookmarks to iOS. The desktop Mac app supports bookmarks so I can’t quite figure out what the downside of syncing them between devices would be. It’s really the only thing holding me back from using Opera on all my devices. Until Opera Touch has my bookmarks I can’t really use it, and Firefox will have to be the old dog I stick with.
Anyhow, well done developers. Aside from the gaping hole that is ‘bookmarks’ — it’s a beautiful app.Show lesstrentmorris
Preferrable to Safari, but could be better
Like: It’s pretty fast (even on a slow network), it has a dark mode, and it helps save data (how much is unclear, it doesn’t show you like Opera Mini does).
To Be Changed: It frequently freezes, it would be nice to have the option to choose when and how to save more data (in some browsers you can choose the quality of photos and videos when you’re using mobile data), Flow should be functional between phones and tablets (a desktop/laptop should not be required), and it would be helpful to be able to save sets of tabs (so you don’t have to keep as many open, and so you can open them in other devices quickly and easily).Show lessFynnagle
I’m a convert!
I have been an avid Chrome user but decided to try out Opera on my iMac due, mainly to the VPN feature that’s free of charge for unlimited data usage via the VPN that is set up for you to use should you desire to activate it. No! I’m not affiliated with Opera but am just dang happy with using it. Now that I’ve found I can use it on my iPhone AND transfer just as seamlessly and easy as I could with Chrome. I’m absolutely NOT putting Chrime down and would recommend them just as quickly as I will these folks. The difference FOR ME is the ease and lack of cost for running through a VPN with a simple click. Well done!

Best Browser in the Game for Apple Products
This is by far my favorite browser available to date. That says a lot, considering it’s competition consists of Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Vivaldi. What separates it from the competition isn’t its aesthetically pleasing themes but rather it’s all the features Opera provides. Now, I’m not gonna go into all the details, if any, as I encourage you to check it out for yourself, but I am gonna name the features, so you have an idea of what to look forward to once you install it on your phone and computer. I’m talking about the Battery Saver, My Flow, Password Sync, and Video Pop-up (to name a few); these are the few features I can recall at the top of my head which truly separates Opera from all other web browsers. But hey, don’t take my word for it, I encourage you to download the program and see for yourself as I guarantee you won’t regret it.
Enjoy!Show lesstallbosnian
Where’s the data saver?
I only downloaded Opera because Apple forced the closure of Puffin. I did a lot of searching to find another browser with a ‘data saver’ and Opera was the only other one I could find. However when I spent the very little data I have with my wireless plan, there is no data saver?! I don’t get real internet where I live thus I only have the option of my 4G LTE with my wireless provider in which I only get 20 gig/mo data which isn’t enough gigs to do anything. Which is WHY I need a data saver option. I can’t afford paying $15 per gig I go over. I can’t use a browser with a VPN because sites in which I hold an account with have banned me for it. I was saving 80% data a month with Puffin. Where did your data saver option go? Thanks for causing me to spend a bunch of data just to download this to find that you took away the data saving mode. Ridiculous. I’m deleting this useless app.Show lessEm Pathetic
Love it!
I love Opera on desktop and Opera Touch on my phone. Chrome is too interested in my privacy and Firefox is too slow. Using Opera, I get the speed and privacy. Opera Touch is just quick and I have the confidence that my data isn’t being sold.
The only issue I have is outside the control of Opera. Other apps do not recognize Opera Touch as a browser option. I’ve been reaching out to app developers requesting the feature. For example, Readdle for support in Spark to open Opera Touch for the browser.
If you use Opera Touch, please put in requests with other developers to support it. Thank you.Show lessOddlyVague
