  • I Want To Like It

    I really want to like this. I have been waiting for the promised iCloud sync that recently arrived but it doesn't work on the Mac I use the most. I contacted support (finding that email address was not as straightforward as I had expected) and received a response. I tried the recommended solutions which did not work. I emailed back to let them know I still needed help and that is all I have heard. I really hope I can get this to work and I didn't want to do support by review but it looks like that is what it has come to. YMMV but so far I am not really loving the update.

  • Private browsing history not available with new update

    Hi, With new update private browsing history isn’t available. Can you fix it please.
  • Please allow an option to hide the blue menu

    It’s annoying having the blue menu in the bottom right corner on every website I visit. It only just recently started popping up. I don’t want to disable the browser history but just want to disable the blue menu

    Thanks for your feedback. It sounds like you have installed the Web Trigger „Surfed Quick Menu“. After disabling or deleting it in Surfed > Web Trigger your problem should be solved otherwise please contact our support.
  • Great idea

    Nice tool to keep your browsing history organised with really useful search ability.
    Needs iCloud sync though, then 5* and would go pro.
    Nice job by the dev.
  • No way to select or action in bulk

    It looks like an obvious missing feature in a bookmark manager. But there is no way to select in bulk.

    Thanks a lot for using Surfed! This feature will be added in version 1.5. I hope you will keep using Surfed and change the rating if it was added.
  • Amazing!

    Ever notice how some google searches disappear in Safaris history? This app fixes that issue. It tracks whatever you want to track and let’s you BLOCK the tracking of whatever you don’t want to track. Personally, I just use it to track my Google searches—because Safari makes them disappear! This app is so good, it feels like something Apple would do. My only request is for this app to have iCloud sync. It would be a great pro feature — a very logical feature I think people would pay for. Just today, I was using this app on an iPad mini; and had to go to my main IPad to find a Google search (because the history doesn’t sync).

    Thanks a lot for this awesome review! It's great to read that the app helps you in everyday life. iCloud Sync will definitely be integrated soon, so that the history and all created tags and smart lists will be compared across all devices. Thank you and continue to enjoy it!
  • Does not work on iPadOS 16.1

    No history listing at all, safari extension has been installed.

    No email or contact method is listed here or on your website.

    Please be sure that you enabled the Safari extension. Otherwise Surfed can’t record the history. Please get in touch with us, if you need assistance. Thank you! Please send an email to: support@surfed.app
  • Great concept - still not fleshed out

    I decided to support the app based on the potential. I'm hoping it does get developed. For now, the app has plenty of bugs. For example, the Smart Collections don't work. I've both created my own, and added some from the gallery, and they don't add or tag anything. In addition, the app will randomly ask me to buy the Pro version when I try to do something, even though I've already paid for it.

    At this time, the app also doesn't sync between devices, so you have to export and import everything. This is a pro purchase. It was the reason I upgraded, only to encounter multiple problems when trying to upload.

    Hope these issues get fixed soon, because it does have potential. I'll gladly update my review when that happens.

    Thank you for the detailed feedback! I would be very grateful if you could contact us by e-mail and send us a screenshot of the Smart Collections so that we can check why they do not work for you. support@surfed.app If the Pro functions have been purchased, the dialog should no longer be displayed. A device sync will definitely come in a future version. Favorites, tags and smart collections can already be synchronized via shortcuts.
  • So good it should be a native feature

    Surfed rules. It lets me retrace my steps through the web, because I can’t keep tabs open forever and I don’t always bookmark what I intend to.

    However, it would be great if history either synced across devices or was accessible across devices.
  • looking forward to the future of the app

    looking forward to the future of the app. I don't think its scratched the surface of what it'll end up being able to do.

    The mac version has some quirks that I think need to be ironed out.

    1) thanks for making the menu bar icon and being able to hide the icon from the dock, but when clicking a reminder url the app opens, i don't think it needs to though!
