### 3/5 — Genius

*2016-10-17, version 1.0.5*

Awesome when it worked on Twitter app but it does not work anymore. Please update this great app to work on Twitter

### 3/5 — Love this app but want to report an issue

*2016-09-15, version 1.0.5*

I use this app all the time from Newsify instead of builtin article reader. Unfortunately the integration with Newsify broke in the 1.0.5 version. You can read one article, then it starts rendering a black screen and throwing a dialogue indicating "Article name is not a valid URL.". Still seems to work fine from Safari. I tried other apps with Share sheet integration and the problem is not specific to Newsify.

Update: Works from Feedly. Fails from Engadget (grey screen and dialogue).

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2015-11-24, version 1.0.3*

This app is so convenient. I was so tired of using Twitter's in-app browser. I couldn't block ads, load my Lastpass extension, or use reader mode (not to mention the security risks with purchasing through an in-app browser). This app solved that problem. And it's free! I did just donate to the developer in the app though. It's worth paying for if you are inclined.

### 4/5 — Works great except in some apps

*2015-11-21, version 1.0.2*

Now I'm not sure if this is a browsesecurely it's or an issue with iOS or other apps but, in some apps like Flioboard or News browsesecurely won't actually load anything. Instead it just says "website" in the address bar.

### 5/5 — Simple But Useful

*2015-11-17, version 1.0.2*

Now I can use Safari View Controller in Reeder and Mr. Reader. Well worth the money.

### 5/5 — Awesome extension

*2015-11-13, version 1.0.2*

Now that it works with Reeder, this is basically a perfect extension. Frankly shocking that it isn't a behavior that is built into iOS by default.

### 5/5 — Now Works With Reeder

*2015-11-13, version 1.0.2*

Very useful combined with Safari Content Blockers.

### 1/5 — It is NOT FREE!

*2015-11-10, version 1.0.1*

It said free.  When I opened the app and it required to donate $.99 or $1.99 or $4.99.  You can not go beyond that to enter free apps.  

What a crooked.

### 1/5 — Not workin

*2015-11-08*

Not working on my iOS 9.2

### 5/5 — A Must Have

*2015-11-07, version 1.0.1*

By forcing apps to use the built in Safari browser you can get access to your iCloud Keychain and saved info as well as ad-blockers. Everything works fine and it's very fluid. Nicely done.
