Leave a Review Desktop Browser
  • Very useful given the failure of desktop request on other browsers

    It is really astonishing that the forcing of
    Desktop mode is so badly supported on standard iOS browsers. Request mode is usually useless. I have a handful of sites I visit that fail to display some information I need in mobile view and has been using Puffin until its demise. So a huge hurrah to the developers of this browser. There is some clumsiness in the interface and the ads in the free version are annoying but I really don’t care. I really do not appreciate that having bought a high resolution iPhone capable of displaying huge amounts of detail I am forced to use crippled mobile web sites.

  • Browser plus

    App has given the iPhone a new lease of life. Delighted to have the Desktop available for usage

    Been a great find and most helpful for my needs
  • Good

    Best browsing app much better than safari if u have a iPhone 😁
  • Fake misleading trash

    This app is complete trash. You might get a desktop here or there but it’s inconsistent and often goes back to mobile pages. Furthermore in desktop it’s unable to play most videos correctly if at all. Waste of time money misleading and trash.
  • Does what it claims

    Just to be clear, this is not a great web browser. The user interface is extremely bare-bones and it is missing most of the features you would expect from a fully featured web browser. However, it excels at the one essential feature, which is to force webpages to display exactly as if they were on a desktop system. I have not found any other browser that can do this reliably. This allows me to access functionality on many webpages that is otherwise unavailable on the mobile site. It is unfortunate that in 2020 something like this is still necessary, but here we are…

  • very helpful app

    I was looking for a app to view one of my new project desktop website in my mobile and was searching in apps and found this one which is excellent - Thanks 😊
  • I want to love this

    Full screen browsing is hard find on iOS. This ap is close but needs refining.

    Couple points: 1). It goes in and out of full screen mode way too easy. Needs to have a stickier way to remain in full screen mode. 2)any website that would launch a new tab doesn’t work then you can’t back out of it either. 3) History requires fully exiting the browser not sure why. 4). Developer doesn’t respond.

    Happy to update this review if developer responds with updates.

  • Desktop browsing

    This is the only mobile browser I have that allows me to visit websites in the desktop rather than mobile version.
  • Still shows mobile site

    My employer forces mobile view, this app doesn’t help it still shows mobile view.
  • An essential app to have, needs couple tweaks

    Thrilled that this app exists now that Puffin browser is no more, absolutely essential for me to have a true desktop mode browser, and I was happy to pay for the full version.

    It needs two tweaks:
    1) PLEEEEASE add the ability to download PDFs. When the browser opens a pdf file, there is no way to transfer the pdf to another app like normal. There needs to be an “Open In” button or Share button, like in other mobile browsers.
    2) it needs more normal navigation layout. Back and Forward buttons should be up top, Done should not close the window & exit browsing history (I lose my place all the time pressing that.)

    Otherwise thanks for a great app.
