  • Awesome

    Immediately the browse for me is a game changer and now is my default browser. I don't switch browsers, I haven't in 10 years. So that's a feat.

    That being said, a feature request, once I engage "browse for me" sometimes it summarizes the info I'm not really interested in, a quick fix for this is to "ask the websites it browsed some questions" so once it gives me all its info I can ask it another question and it adds that information at the end of its "created webpage". A far superior chatGPT browsing experience.
  • Pleasant User Experience

    I’ve been testing a beta of the Arc browser on windows for the past week or so and while it doesn’t match its Mac counterpart in available features yet, I still find it truly unique and a pleasure to use.
    So it’s only natural that I installed the mobile the day it became available.
    It’s beautiful to look at. Feels streamlined and built-in. I can’t wait to see what’s next from The Browser Company of New York.
  • Revolutionary for the mobile use!

    First of all, I enjoy the realistic UI elements that are implemented through out the app. Also, I’ve been loving my experience so far using and learning about the “Browse for Me” options it made it 100% better now. Although my only small problem is that I wish I could save the photos to my album given in the summary of the “Browse for Me” as it would make it so much easier.
  • Love it but missing a few features

    Definitely needs better tab management. The switch tab button being on the left is more annoying than convenient. Hands down the best feature is the “browse for me” button so I can quickly get what I need.

    As nice as it is to have the keyboard show up whenever I click the app after a period of time trying to go into it after I had to check another app and having to swipe the keyboard away like a fly gets annoying quickly.

    For a first version it’s five stars but in order to keep this my default browser (which I desperately want to do) the small little annoying things need to be fixed before it becomes my daily driver.

    Much love to the Arc team, hoping “Browse for me” becomes a feature on desktop as well! 😁
  • Part of my Arc-senal!

    I have been using the Arc companion app since its launch— hoping for something more as it didn’t quite scratch the same itch that the Mac browser did for me.

    Now after using the new Arc Search after seeing some teasers and finally getting a download off the App Store, mobile finally has a time to shine. AI-based Arc Max features are great & I already have abandoned the Arc companion + Safari. Never going back!
  • Pretty good so far!

    I love to break and test things, so the first thing I did was submit a few searches that were begging for misinformation such as “5 Scientifically Proven Ways for an Adult Male to Get Taller”. To my surprise, the “Browse for Me” feature was pretty good at filtering out misinformation.

    Why doesn’t this have 5 stars? Two reasons.

    For one, I have an Arc browser I use every single day on desktop and I can’t import my workspaces to seamlessly flow from desktop to mobile.

    Secondly, the web page that the “Browse for Me” feature generates probably ought to have the citations inside the initial bullets in addition to the ones at the bottom of the page. These could even just be simple super script anchor tags and it would help users like myself jump to a web page from the generated list even faster.

    Great product that I will now attempt to use as my default browser. I will definitely be changing my review to 5/5 if there are improvements.
  • Really nice and fast search experiment

    Perfect for casual browsing when I just want a quick answer or something to quickly scan through

  • Reinventing mobile browsing and I’m here for it

    Such an amazing mobile browser that’s quick, intuitive, and very polished for a new app. It’s leveraging AI to browse your search phrase for you from multiple sites and compiling results in a webpage built around your search.

    One bug spotted in the recent update is opening a tab in the background doesn’t always load the images or loads a placeholder used for lazy loading. To fix you have to refresh the page.
  • A pleasant surprise

    This is shaping up to be a wonderful reimagining of how to browse the internet.
