Galactic – 28 user reviews

Useless

Yes I understand that I need to control it with my phone but I browsed to rotten tomatoes to browse some up coming movies and watch trailers, only the trailers don't play on my tv only on my phone.

If I use the normal screen casting with safari it works fine.

Complete garbage and what's worse I can even request a refund via apple

Hi there, It looks like you're referring to the Apple TV version of Galactic. Unfortunately, apps are not capable of launching websites directly on the TV. Similar system limitations prevent Galactic from opening videos in the iOS app. This limitation was also made clear in the app's description, and is unfortunately out of our control. As a workaround, you can open videos located with Galactic for iOS by pressing the blue "Safari" button to the right of the website frame, which launches it in Safari to watch there. If you have any other concerns, please reach out at application.help.m@gmail.com.

SCAM DO NOT BUY ON APPLE TV

It’s literally just airplay. Total scam app. Not sure how Apple even allows this on their app store.

App is the best

Hi there, It looks like you’re referring to the Apple TV version of Galactic. Unfortunately, due to system limitations, apps cannot open websites on Apple TV. This restriction was made clear in the first few lines of its TV App Store description, which users are encouraged to read. 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, 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. If you have any further questions, please reach out at application.help.m@gmail.com.

Intentionally misleading

Be sure to check if this app meets your intended needs and expectations.

Hi there, thank you for your review. It appears you’re referring to the Apple TV version of Galactic. Unfortunately, apps are not capable of opening websites directly on Apple TV. Such a limitation is sadly uncontrollable, but was made clear early in the app’s description. If you’d like to request Apple allow such functionality, please reach out to them: https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-tv/. A recent update to Galactic allows you to browse the web by streaming websites from your iOS device to your TV - which offers a markable improvement upon standard screen mirroring, as Galactic now allows you to browse in full 16:9, and at a zoomed-out scale to match your TV. If you have any other concerns, please reach out to application.help.m@gmail.com.

Been cheated $1.99

Cannot browse the web. This fact should be made crystal clear on the first line of any description. Apple should refund.

Name is totally misleading. You cannot browse the web. It does a search and shows links but you can’t go to them. This app is useless and massive waste of even $2.

best skin game EVER!!!!!

What a waste of time and money, worst browser possible in the history of browsers

Why is this even called as browser, waste of money and time, why is AppStore even allowing this kind of nonsense apps.

Not a browser for Apple TV

This is more of something like a dictionary or a phone book than a browser. It’s only function is to look up Wikipedia info about what was typed in the search bar. When people think of a browser, they think of Brave, Librewolf, and of course Firefox. Although there is a use for this, and the developer was open about how a browser isn’t possible due to the way the OS functions, I think that it is misleading at best and a scam at worst. I think the developer should remove the word “Browser” from the name. Certainly isn’t one and certainly isn’t worth the $1.99.

Hi there, thank you for your review. It appears you’re referring to the Apple TV version of Galactic. Unfortunately, apps are not capable of opening websites directly on Apple TV. Additionally, the app shares its name with the Apple Watch version, which can open directly websites - and due to restrictions on the App Store, names cannot be split between them. Such a limitation is sadly uncontrollable, but was made clear early in the app’s description. If you’d like to request Apple allow such functionality, please reach out to them: https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-tv/.

Misleading

The pictures and the write up would lead you to believe it a real full fledge web browser, but it quite the contrary. This should not be called a web browser.
