I, the developer, do not collect or access your data, including your search history. However, by using the third-party search engines it ships with, you are subject to their privacy policies: hence for honesty and clarity, the app's privacy label reflects these engines. You can opt out of this by bookmarking a search engine of your choice. Due to hardware limitations, certain websites may not behave correctly on such a small device – though this is a rare occurrence. Additionally, Galactic also cannot store cookies.

Reviews of Galactic

Total scam - just a bad browser

Got this for Apple TV, and it implied it would have capabilities beyond other browsers for Apple TV, but it doesn’t. The Apple TV app is just a QR code to download the iOS app and then you mirror. And it wouldn’t even work on the site I wanted, so I just used Safari anyway.

Response from developer

Hello, this limitation was made clear on the App Store product page before buying, as the app name is "Web Browser *via iOS*". It doesn't imply it can do anything it can't, and the subtitle of the app is also "Use iOS app to mirror sites." Apps aren't allowed to open sites directly on Apple TV, meaning Galactic needs to open them via an iOS device. This isn't in our control, and you'll find every competing app has the same limitation - except Galactic is the only one to state it transparently to users. The solution to AirPlay websites from your iPhone or iPad via Galactic for iOS offers a substantial upgrade from standard screen mirroring, as Galactic allows you to browse the web in 16:9, and at a zoomed out scale to match your TV. With standard screen mirroring (which other competitors use), you would be locked to the aspect ratio of your phone/tablet which almost always doesn't match your TV, and websites would be zoomed in to far at the scale of said device.

Do not waste your time and money to this app please it’s a HOAX !

Response from developer

Hello, System limitations imposed by Apple prevent Galactic - and all other TV browsers - from opening websites directly on Apple TV. Galactic attempted such a feature, and it wasn't allowed on the App Store. The alternative is allowing users to mirror websites from their iOS device to their TV using a custom AirPlay-based solution. This allows for a better experience than simply screen mirroring: where your sites are in the same aspect ratio as, and zoomed out to match your TV. These restrictions were made clear in the first line of each version's descriptions, which users see no matter what when clicking on the app on the App Store. Other apps that have these limitations bury their disclaimers deep in their descriptions.

****SCAM**** Doesnt do what is advertised

Save your money. This app is awful. No different than mirror mode onto Apple TV or casting to a same network device. Doesn’t offer a browser on Apple TV which is a main selling point. It’s essentially a safari app that you pay to access and have horrible experience/ user interaction with.

Response from developer

Hey there, Due to system restrictions imposed by Apple, apps cannot browse the web directly on Apple TV. This was highlighted very clearly in the tvOS app's second screenshot and early in its description. You’ll find this limitation in every other "web browser" app on the TV. Instead, Galactic launches the site on its iOS app, and mirrors it to your TV via a special form of screen mirroring. This allows you to view your chosen site in full widescreen, and at a zoomed-out scale suited for your TV - both of which you can't do on your iPhone alone. Galactic displays this information clearly to the buyer before purchase, both very early in the app's screenshots, and Apple TV description - which users see clearly before they buy. There is nothing the app is advertising that it can't do. If you have any more concerns, please email application.help.m@gmail.com.
