I haven’t used app the features though and I desperately need to do this to get the best out of it. However, I cannot but recommend Alook enough it’s great. ### 3/5 — 关掉电子书阅读器吧 *2026-06-12, version 22.0* 每次一打开txt文件就提示添加到书架，我只是想看看文件内容而已 ### 3/5 — 这就是深色模式？ *2026-05-02, version 21.9* 在后台设置打开/关闭深色模式，字体框架全是黑的，周围全是白的，重新退出再进入才会完全一致 不能发截图 但百分百复现 太影响观感了 ### 4/5 — 小说阅读部分能加个听书功能吗？ *2025-11-29, version 21.8* 小说阅读部分能加个听书功能吗？ ### 4/5 — ios16.5系统 *2025-10-12, version 21.8* 无规律性，打完一个字，光标跳到最左边 ### 3/5 — Надоело *2025-09-21* Вы заколебали с этим обьявлением о смене браузера. Зачем? Как открываю браузер и жто постоянно лезет. Только из за этого не хочу пользоваться. ### 5/5 — Doesn't Block YT Ads *2025-09-19, version 21.8* This browser is really fast and blocks most web ads. However, I wish it could block YouTube ads too, as they still come through while watching videos. ### 4/5 — A- Look Bro *2025-07-02* The app has a lot of great features, it’s one of the best browsers on iOS in terms of functionality. The only thing to be wary of is that it can take up a lot of data on your phone (if you don’t upload it to icloud) in a short time just from general browsing. I can’t mention all the things this browser does well, there are many. I do have requests though. Would you please: - update your adblock and/or allow custom ad + tracking filters. - Either allow userscripts in your custom JS feature or have both options (we don’t all know how to script and some of us would prefer to just cut and paste). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 視頻解析 *2026-08-04, version 22.9* 視頻超級解碼的嗅探功能不能使用了，視頻解析還沒之前的好用，關閉視頻播放時，經常會出現卡頓，頁面觸控全部失靈，只好強制結束後台，重新進入 ### 1/5 — Don’t buy it *2026-06-22, version 22.2* It can’t even open ChatGPT!

Won’t download videos instead just gives me the html file instead. Waste of money… ### 1/5 — Why YT video only 360p *2025-07-11* As tittle.
