I will be looking for another browser. I used this browser for everything. All the sudden limit on downloads a day. Force to buy. I understand you need to compete and get paid to make what was an amazing browser. Once I found I replacement not limited to daily count. Thanks for what a browser should have been and not become. ### 4/5 — Aloha browser is best for video controls on mobile *2026-08-21, version 8.9.0* And you can also download videos you want on most if not all sites. Though I do wish when you pause videos it doesn't darken the screen when you are trying to get a frame. And it also needs more double tap to seek settings. ### 3/5 — Blacklist and Whitelist Feature Needed *2026-08-19, version 8.9.0* Seriously needs a blacklist & whitelist feature been getting hammered with rouge Clickserve.ad and stripchat redirects on non adult sites like Forbes and Tom's Guides even techguru ### 4/5 — Gamer *2026-08-14, version 8.8.2* It’s great ### 2/5 — Good but flawed *2026-08-13, version 8.8.2* I’m a premium user, and I’d recommend it to you too (if you can snag a discount especially!). However lately the VPN function (premium servers) have had huge issues starting the app. I have it set to only use the vpn while using alpha rather that system wide. Whenever you open the app, there’s like a 70% chance it gets stuck on “connecting to vpn”. Even if it’s connected. It just bugs out and gets stuck on screen leaving you with only the option to force quit and re open it 3 or 4 times before it loads properly. 4.5/5 browser but brought down to a 2/5 by virtue of becoming annoying to use with its advertised features (VPN) ### 4/5 — Senha desprotegida *2026-08-12* Quando troquei de aparelho, vi que o Aloha não protegeu a senha de acesso. Cuidado… **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! We’ll need a bit more info about the issue, so please contact us at support@alohabrowser.com. Appreciate it! ### 2/5 — AirPlay video playback unreliable *2026-08-11, version 8.8.2* I’ve reported this problem before. Like a bad dream, the problem keeps coming back. AirPlay works for a few weeks then stops working for a long time. Video plays for a minute or so, if it plays at all, then it drops Airplay connection forcing you to reconnect via Airplay. After doing this 3 or 4 times, you give up and watch the video on your phone. This happens both on saved/downloaded video and streamed from a website. ### 5/5 — VPN *2026-08-04, version 8.8.2* Never had a problem with that. Everything looks good passed downloads. I’ve never had a. ### 4/5 — Cloud *2026-08-03, version 8.8.2* This app keeps on getting better and better i love the cloud feature. I just wish there was more than 10gb of cloud storage would love it if u added more cloud storage like different tiers 500gb 1tb or even 2tb. ### 2/5 — crashing *2026-08-02, version 8.8.2* app crash everytime i attempt to login to youtube w google account (the whole reason i download in spite of the app's egregious storage bloat) youtube ad block + pip unmatched (when it's working) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s a stupid app *2026-08-23, version 8.9.0* Please do not download this app if not you will regret it later. A word to the wise is enough!! ### 1/5 — I already paid for the app every time it updates than asking for new subscription *2026-08-22, version 8.9.0* I already paid for the app every time it updates than asking for new subscription and it was life time offer what a joke !!! ### 1/5 — Issue with moving tabs *2026-08-14, version 8.8.2* There is a frustrating issue when trying to rearrange tabs. When I press and hold a tab for around two seconds to activate the moving function, I can drag it to where I want it. However, when I release the tab at the new position, it does not stay there. Instead, it annoyingly jumps back to its original position. This happens when trying to move a tab left, right, up or down. It makes rearranging tabs unnecessarily difficult and frustrating. Please fix this so that tabs reliably remain in the position where they are dropped. This would make tab management much smoother and more intuitive. ### 1/5 — Update *2026-08-13, version 8.8.2* Since the update the app stopped working can’t even open a browser Pages don’t load ### 1/5 — Worst with every new update. *2026-08-09, version 8.8.2* This is probably like my 3rd review, every new update just sucks now i cannot with the new video player scroll trough the video with out triggering lightning or volume controllers, what can i say im sure Ai features are much more important! ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2026-08-09, version 8.8.2* I have been using this app for a year or so without a problem and recently they have stopped the VPN connection for users who are not on a subscription when I originally purchased a once off fee prior to the subscription model…….very disappointing and wouldn’t recommend ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes *2026-08-07, version 8.8.2* I used to love the browser, but it has become unstable and unreliable. It crashes constantly for no reason a while scrolling it blacks out images and does not refresh properly. I don’t know what happened to it, but it’s really disappointing. ### 1/5 — I hate u limit download *2026-08-04, version 8.8.2* I hate u limit download ### 1/5 — Slow *2026-08-01, version 8.8.2* Its very slow ### 1/5 — Bad browser *2026-08-01, version 8.8.2* Stops loading all of a sudden every minute ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect browser *2026-08-21, version 8.9.0* I’m very satisfied of that.recommend it. ### 5/5 — As best *2026-08-18, version 8.9.0* Truly live every aspect of this app minor bugs with certain sites but overall crazy in live with it like ### 5/5 — App rate *2026-08-13, version 8.8.2* The best app so far ### 5/5 — Kissing *2026-08-11, version 8.8.2* Love watching kissing. Send lots more ### 5/5 — Been subscriber for years. Best browser VPN *2026-08-10, version 8.8.2* Five stars. VPN and browser have been improving consistently. It wasn’t bad to begin with. Now both are seamless. Top notch privacy, no logs 80-100 vpn countries (I think). Customizable everything. Well worth the annual sub. Will be renewing my sub. Note to dev- The “write a review screen” in App Store won’t let me “tap stars to rate”. If you’re getting zero stars on positive reviews frequently. This glitch is why. ### 5/5 — خرید *2026-08-10, version 8.8.2* Hello, I am Iranian I really thank you, you are wonderful All the necessary features are in your program I really thank you from the bottom of my heart I thank you because in this situation where we are under sanctions and we do not have the possibility to buy your full version, your program helps us Because we are under sanctions and we cannot have financial transactions with your banks that are outside our country I think you should do something so that I and all Iranians can buy from you through the banks of our own country so that we can buy from you more easily! For example, have an account in Iranian banks so that we can buy from you through banking programs by transferring money to your account (card to card) ### 5/5 — I love the Aloha browser *2026-08-07, version 8.8.2* It is my go to recommendation to everyone who is looking for a browser. I have used Aloha for years now. The Aloha browser has quieted all of the tech noise and helps me get to “real” content. It is like searching the web pre-social media, when the content was vetted and run by Universities and educated individuals. Thank you. ### 5/5 — THE BEST APP OF ALL *2026-08-07, version 8.8.2* This App now shows 14K Users, Guess what; I’ve been using this App when it was only 47. Still using it. THE BEST APP EVER! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-07, version 8.8.2* The app does exactly what it advertises. Pop ups don’t stand a chance. Browsing is so much better. This is my go to now. ### 5/5 — 20+ years *2026-08-04, version 8.8.2* This my most favorite group or web browsing people, clean private searches a get a away browser for soft tasting minds in a innovative subtle life :style --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
