  • Very Stable, when not Synced?!

    Even on my older IOS & multiple older devices Opera makes it easy to use no matter the sites visit or the videos or downloads pulled, I navigate within the app flawlessly!!! The only issue I have is when I want to sync my desktop with my mobile devices, it has freeze issues (on mobile device apps only) and I can’t navigate & have to remove and reinstall.. but to no avail?! That’s okay though for me cause I can just as easily customize each device’s Opera as I like, and it actually makes it more versatile and fun to use each device since I have multiple app builds that are uniquely different to each device, it’s better this way for me!! But, I rarely use for work so this may be a problem for those who need it?!

  • My favorite browser

    It took me some time to figure out that the most basic functions are accessed by holding down the purple button, but once I figured that out, I was up and running. Offers all of the best features of other browsers and then some. Fast. Only two problems: 1) more people should use it so webmasters start coding their websites for Opera instead of Chrome (Google collects and sells data), and 2) I do wish saved login/password info would be synced between desktop and Opera Touch. Opera team does a great job of cranking out improvements every time you turn around (keep up the good work!).

  • The only reason this app doesn’t have five stars...

    The only reason this app doesn’t have five stars, is because the old reviews are talking about a different app entirely. Sorry to restate the title but it wouldn’t let me post it with a title that long. Opera may have been lesser in the past, but now it is the perfect app for anyone who can navigate the internet without getting distracted every five seconds, because that’s another problem entirely. Opera has the feed feature which can send webpages or text to this chat that is between you and a computer that you can attach to your account, but the computer isn’t even needed. The computer is only if you sign into your account on Opera on your computer and link the devices. Opera also protects your devices like google, but can block ads and pop-ups on default. It can also remember your sign-ins, it has a cryptocurrency mining protection setting, it can also keep account of your payment methods like an online wallet, so shopping sites that save them can’t keep them and you don’t have to re-enter them all the time. There is also a private mode, that makes it so non of the sign-ins or browsing history is saved, which most browsers do the second part but skip the first. To round out, Opera keeps you browsing the internet efficiently and protected so long as you tell it to (just turn on the settings once and they will stay on). Oh, and one more thing.. you can erase the cookies your device keeps from sites with it as well.

  • 10/10 when you pair with Opera

    I'm IT staff for a school district. I've been using Opera on all my windows machines for longer than my career.. all because of the security and resource drain when in background. Try running chrome on a linux/windows 2011 thinkpad. It's a nightmare. Even manages more idle power draw when I clamshell my laptop. Chrome is meant for chromebooks. Opera for any pc. That being said. Opera Touch is literally everything I never knew I wanted in a mobile browser. It's amazing. Real legitimate tab management and built in ad-blocking on an iOS platform is insanely convenient. I use my secured Opera account and my iCloud keychain as my only password managers. They outright and upfront choose user privacy and security over data collection and targeted advertisement. Switch to Opera. Switch to Opera Touch. The seamless integration with your accounts, info, browsing data, all stored securely for you and only you. Also seriously stop using Chrome. And use duckduckgo... gmail is a decent mail service, but they do not care to hide that they sell user data and use search patterns to target you with ads. This isn't a tinfoil rant, it's 2019. The internet has changed faster than web browsers. Time to change browsers.

  • Always Deliver Advanced Interaction

    I love this new version of the Opera Browser app because it has new seemingly innovative interactive controls to offer a fresh experience to browsing.

    I have been using Opera since 1999 or so, and they have always delivered new interaction conventions that no other browser seems to offer. Some people have a hard time with new and different but I am always delighted to be a first adopter and learn.

    They were one of the first if not the first ones to propose great features like multi-tabbing, a built-in ad-block, a built-in downloader, speed dial, “paste-and-go”, wallet for passwords and cards, and many more of those really great features that other browsers now offer.

  • So close to being perfect!

    Overall Opera Touch is very well done and a fantastic app. It is way better than Opera Mini, flow works flawlessly, and you can actually browse the internet with one hand!

    The only feature that I really need 3D Touch support for previewing links and using it on the key button. I know it’s a small gripe but after using this app for almost a year I still hard press everything like it’s safari.

    I can’t wait to see how this app improves with time! Would definitely recommend you at least try Opera Touch for a fresh web experience!

  • Almost Perfect

    I love Opera Touch, and I use My Flow all the time. It makes moving between my computer and my other devices really super easy.

    The only thing that would make me love Opera Touch even more is having back and forebears be swiped. The awkwardness of holding the fast action button and moving to the back arrow gets worse when there’s a webpage that reloads over and over and you can’t hit the back button fast enough to get past it (or hold the back button for a list of previously viewed sites). Already, the app is designed to make everything as simple and one-handed as possible. If you could just swipe back the previous page, that would make it perfect.

    This app is amazing. I have come back to Opera because of it. ❤️

  • Fantastic! But needs work.

    Before this browser was released, I was waiting at least a year for a usable opera browser on IOS, as opera mini is way outdated and no longer supported. After the release trailer came out for this browser I was so excited! As I heard someone say before, “the only flaw to opera browser on PC is there is no browser on IOS”. This is so true for people like me, who need easy transfer going back and forth from a computer and an iPhone. With all that said, this is a fairly new browser that has some cool features, but it really is missing a lot of features. I’d just like to see features added that opera PC has, especially to make the transfer even more seamless. Such as bookmarks, speed dial, password manager, etc...

  • WHAT WIZARDRY IS BEHIND THIS TOUCHY SWIPE THINGY?

    Good app for the kind of adventurous user that likes to get thrown into an app and left to figure out what Witchery is behind it all.
    Actually I have no idea who would like this. Personally, this pretty much sums up my UX so far: awkward.

    Im guessing this app was made by a wizard, voodoo priest, or tarot card deck that makes the app work rather than having boring AI run things. There’s no comprehensive onboarding so you are left with an app that centered on touch and swipe actions without a clue as to what you touch and swipe to make stuff do things. The concept of the whole touch based navigation widget is cumbersome! You REALLY gotta push and hold in order to use the thing. You can’t even customize it. In fact you can’t customize ANYTHING. No interface settings. You’re stuck. With this awkward button press thingy widget, a “homepage” of your most visited web page icons that you cannot alter, and a mysterious “My Flow” function, which questionably syncs your data somehow to your other chosen device.

    I’m giving this app 8 more hours to live on my iPhone and then I’m giving it back up to the mysterious forces of.. deletion.
