Not functional as an actual browser. Downloaded on Apple TV and did not even have a review to show. Shame on Apple TV for not allowing reviews to show when searching for this awful app. You also can’t request a refund on this purchase. ### 1/5 — Shame on apple! *2025-11-01, version 1.2.4* Absolutely useless app. If you have an Apple TV, do not download this app they are cheats and liars. You cannot open anything with it. It just allows you to view the homepage and nothing else no interaction. If Apple had any morals and standards, they would refund everyone the money for this app, but I know they won’t because they’re just another greedy company. ### 1/5 — Terrible DONT Buy!!! *2025-10-10, version 1.2.4* Don’t buy this shi man I should’ve looked at the reviews, u can’t actually interact with the websites it only allows u to scroll up and down (wanted to watch a movie on a pirate website) and sometimes it don’t even open the search and says error and sends a link to your phone 😭👎💔 ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-10-09, version 1.2.4* It’s not working on Apple tv ### 1/5 — Scam!! *2025-09-27, version 1.2.4* Run, far away.

Doesn’t work . Waste of money ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — works perfectly *2025-06-11, version 1.2.4* super good for google, it displays websites perfectly fine and lets you scroll through them etc ### 5/5 — works perfectly *2024-10-29, version 1.2.0* super good for google ### 5/5 — We need real browser! *2024-09-06, version 1.1.1* I will pay up to $300 for this app if you bypass Apple restrictions and make real WebKit-based browser for Apple TV ### 5/5 — Doesn’t View Full Webpages *2024-08-06, version 1.0.1* The closest this app gets to browsing the web is displaying a list of Google search results. You can’t really see much information from the actual page, just the Google preview text. When you’d expect to have a button to show the web site, it only offers the ability to send a link to your phone. Update: App support link doesn’t point to app specific page, but does seem to be a real page advertising services for websites and apps. Will reach out over email. ### 5/5 — Worth it *2024-08-03, version 1.0.1* The app works well on my TV and connects smoothly to my phone. Definitely worth it for the small price. 🤩 ### 3/5 — Funktioniert *2024-09-23, version 1.1.1* WebBrowser auf dem Apple TV nach Auswahl der Quelle (Google, Wikipedia etc.) funktioniert! Lediglich der Übertrag des Links auf das iPhone (iPhone 13 Mini) hängt öfters. Und wird - so hoffe ich - mit künftigen Updates behoben werden. Weiter so, Phil! ### 3/5 — Có khả năng app bị hack *2024-08-06, version 1.0.1* Tôi bị báo xác nhận thanh toán liên tục khi tải về trên apple tv --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
