Total scam - just a bad browser
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 !

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

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.
This app is useless
You search for something and then it gives you a list of search results. However that’s all. Then it tells you to scan a qr code, download the app to your phone and screen mirror or use AirPlay. Didn’t say anything about this before I bought it.
I thought I’d be able to browse sites using the app on my tv. It’s by far the most useless app I’ve ever stumbled across. Don’t buy it. Give your £1.90 to charity or something instead. Not the scammer who sells this app.
