### 1/5 — Dommage que les avis écrits ne soient pas sur Apple TV

*2026-05-03*

C’est d’une inutilité… c’est trompeur. Et en plus sur mobile y’a des publicités alors que l’application est payante.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-17, version 1.2.4*

Will not open web pages at all. Doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-04-13, version 1.2.4*

Problem is you have to pay to download the app and then it doesn’t even work. What a rip off.

### 1/5 — Use less

*2026-04-12, version 1.2.4*

Annoying nothing works paid money to this

### 1/5 — No

*2026-04-09, version 1.2.4*

No

### 1/5 — Utterly worthless.

*2026-03-14, version 1.2.4*

Oh you thought this app might actually let your browse the web? Nope.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-02-19, version 1.2.4*

Can’t move cursor or click anything on screen.

### 1/5 — Not a “Browser “.

*2026-02-02, version 1.2.4*

All this app can do is display a copy of a web page. You can’t navigate within the page or click any links!  I fault myself for not bothering to read the reviews. 

From the developer, (where he somehow blames Apple).  “Unfortunately due to restrictions placed by Apple, we are unable to allow you to use a website as you would on a computer and also theres hardware limitations. Currently; you can view the full screen of the page from the search results. Our app will be rejected by Apple if we try to allow you to click buttons on the page. :(

Sorry! Hope you understand,
Phil”

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-01-09, version 1.2.4*

Sold as web browser for Apple TV and doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Rubbish app

*2026-01-03, version 1.2.4*

Slow, ridiculously cumbersome, impossible to use. No idea why this app is listed, absolute rip off.
