What's New in Browsecurely

1.0.5

September 14, 2016

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. • Support for iOS 10: unfortunately, adding support for iOS 10 requires Browsecurely to ask you to confirm that you want to open the page. This can be disabled in the app if a later update to iOS 10 addresses this issue.

Generous Tip

Give a generous tip to the developer. While this adds no additional functionality, it's a nice way of saying thanks!

Genius

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

Love this app but want to report an issue

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).

Awesome!

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.

Works great except in some apps

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.

Simple But Useful

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