What's New in Crest Browser

0.8.50

October 25, 2026

Crest 0.8.50 brings new ways to move around on iPhone and iPad, and a layout made for iPhone Duo. • Swipe in from the left edge of a page to go back, and from the right edge to go forward. • On iPhone, swipe across the address bar to move through your Space's tabs. • Share a link from any app to open it in Crest. • On iPhone Duo, controls sit in the side bar, pages fill each display, and folded like a book, the sidebar and page or a Split View's two pages each take a side. • On iPad, the sidebar starts narrower, leaving more room for the page. Fixes • Videos that sites play full screen no longer go black. • Tapping the address bar selects the whole address. • A new iPhone or iPad that syncs with iCloud uses your default search, and turning Crest Passwords on or off reaches your other devices. • Crest no longer leaves an empty band at the bottom for a keyboard that isn't showing. • Tinted and clear app icons now match your other apps.

How you dont have a + button or smth to create a new tab or search like arc while browsing is crazy work. Deleted.

Great browser

I’ve been using Crest for a while now and it’s by far my favorite browser. First browser with spaces I’ve enjoyed on mobile.

Extremely broken

Barely works and does not at all resemble Arc on iOS. What made their browsers interesting and in many ways great was a commitment to high quality interface work. This is just AI slop with no care for the user experience. Seems like it wasn’t even tested by a person.

Response from developer

I’m sorry it was not working for you, and would be interested to hear what issues you were facing, we have a community on Reddit and you can always reach out so I can see what is going on. The app is tested on multiple real devices, but there could always be gaps I have not run into I’d be happy to look into for you.

Promising but too buggy atm

I love what their going for here and there’s a version for both mac and iphone/iPad which is great. Thee UI and feature set look good, but it's just too buggy on bot iPad and Mac right now. Haven't tried the iphije iPhone version yet and don't see the point if the others don't work right. Current issues in iPad are that the Setings tab won't stay open, and back when it initially did on my first day of usng this app, the Season engine management pane wouldn't open at all so I could add a xusrom search engine. Just too many bugs for now, but I'll keep an eye on this app's developement, hope it gets better.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for trying the browser. I had a bit of a complicated time getting a good mobile release process setup, and working with delays for approval means bug fixes end up getting grouped together. That said, I agree there were some bugs that needed fixed, please let me know if the current 0.7 version is working better for you, and you can always join the TestFlight for the bleeding edge updates, but I’m going to be better about heavily testing before doing a stable release here.
