### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2025-11-24*

I tried this with google opal in safari and it doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Can’t set useragent to chrome

*2025-06-24*

On making UA to chrome by extension, download option not visible but it does when using developer mode’s UA setting

**Developer response:** Hi! Can you contact me about this issue with more details at app-support@pvieito.com? Thanks!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all

*2025-01-30*

Paid the money, doesn't work.

**Developer response:** Hi! Can you contact me about this issue with more details at app-support@pvieito.com? Thanks!

### 1/5 — Didn’t work as expected

*2024-12-23*

Unfortunately, this extension didn’t work as I have expected on any websites I have wanted it to work (such as Amazon Prime Video). Although I have activated this extension, these websites continued to recognize my iPad Safari as it, and required me to install their apps. 

(For Japanese readers 日本の方へ)別の方のレビューで、「PCからのアクセス以外はアプリをインストールさせられるサイトに効果抜群」だと書かれていますが、私が確認したウェブサイトでは、この機能拡張を使用しても使用前とまったく変わりがありませんでした。おそらくサイトの方もユーザエージェント以外の情報でユーザのデバイスを識別していると思われます。ですのでこの機能拡張は、アプリのインストールを避けるために購入を検討されている方には適さないことが多いでしょう。

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2024-03-07*

Wanted to use this to watch ESPN in the browser and it simply doesn’t trick the site at all.

### 1/5 — Completely useless, at least for macOS

*2023-12-08*

I paid $4, and it doesn't work — no matter what useragent I choose, the webpage always uses the default useragent. I ended up using the built-in developer tools.

I tried to request a refund via the App Store, but it appears taht developer has disabled refunds... so beware.

**Developer response:** Hi! Can you contact me about this issue with more details at app-support@pvieito.com? Thanks!

### 2/5 — Cant set global user agent

*2024-12-13*

Work but need to set per site.  Need global setting features

**Developer response:** Hi! Support for setting a default global User-Agent has been introduced on BrowserMask 1.4. Thanks for the feedback!

### 2/5 — No Global User-Agent

*2023-12-22*

I would’ve kept using this if there was the ability to set a Global User-Agent, but that doesn’t exist on this app.

**Developer response:** Hi! Support for setting a default global User-Agent has been introduced on BrowserMask 1.4. Thanks for the feedback!

### 2/5 — Does not work consistently for all websites

*2023-10-11*

Attempted to use this on a plane to sign into in-flight wi-fi on an iPad, but needed an iOS/mobile user agent for the prompt to pop-up with my mobile provider. No mobile user agent worked from the list, which is the use case I purchased for.

### 4/5 — iPadで「なろう」表示するとPC表示なのが解決

*2025-04-21*

iPadのSafariで小説サイトを見ると、強制PC表示になり読みにくいのを解消したくて導入しました。
基本的にうまく動作して居ますが、時々PC表示に戻るので、デフォルトに設定→iOS表示に再設定が必要になります。

### 5/5 — 报错，设置不生效，能不能解决一下

*2025-07-08*

在“_locales”文件夹中找不到default_locale。

**Developer response:** Hi! This issue has been fixed on the last release. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Anfangs etwas hackelig aber…

*2025-05-29*

Am Anfang eine Website hinzuzufügen war schwierig, da die meisten Websiten einen auf eine Error Website umleiten, man muss beim hinzufügen also sehr schnell sein. Hab den Trick jetzt aber raus. Die App macht genau was sie soll. Super.
Eine manuelle Eingabe einer Website wäre noch toll. Und Deutsch als Sprache. Ansonsten Top Top Top

### 5/5 — iPhoneで動作確認

*2024-10-30*

SafariでUserAgentの書き換え可能でした。
ドメイン毎に設定できるので、毎回オンオフする必要がなくてとても良いです。

PCからのアクセス以外はアプリをインストールさせられるサイトに効果抜群です。

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-10-02*

Works perfectly to change from iOS to windows edge on an iPad.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2023-07-10*

This app allows me to circumvent arbitrary restrictions imposed by websites that underestimate iPad capabilities, by letting me chose browser and OS options that certain websites happen to require.

My retirement savings account provider incorrectly prevented me from accessing key website functionality due to assuming I was on a phone, while in reality I am using an iPad Pro that is more powerful than most laptops.

### 4/5 — Missing one cruise feature

*2024-10-26*

The app is great, it works as intended however it’s missing Global user agent by default for all the sites.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback! Now you can set a global default User-Agent with BrowserMask 1.4.
