Provides a real PC desktop browser experience.
I have some websites that do not go into full desktop mode using Safari and other browsers, despite selecting desktop mode. This is caused by an incorrect user agent being passed.
WAS lets me select a Windows chrome user agent (among many others or you can build your own), and those websites now display the same as they do on my Windows PC.
This is not full featured browser. You won't find things like bookmarks. It's really designed for testing. However, in my specific use case, it works great. I'm glad the developer continues to support it.

A nice effort, but some issues
I applaud the developer for creating a web browser that can switch user agents. You can even create your own.
I think there should be a trial option as I found issues that, imo, were problematic for me:
- user agent string feature does work on the opening page, but I found it unreliable on subsequent pages such as a menu selection on a website
- No share sheet functionality
- No bookmarking or multiple windows (at least that I can find)
- Features that don't seem to do anything (clear history, share URL)
- Would be nice if there were documentation on some of the settings.
With a bit more polish and maturity, I think this app could be very helpful, especially for developers trying to test different browsers. Still, as it is, it's the one of the few browsers I've found that has multiple user agents built in. Even better, the user agents are fairly current.
