### 1/5 — Lousy app

*2023-12-08, version 1.3.8*

Throws ads in your face with everything you do. Delete!!!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-10-19, version 1.3.8*

Couldn’t even open the app without being bombarded with in app purchases.

### 1/5 — Piece of junk /scam app

*2023-08-23, version 1.3.8*

A miserable approach

### 1/5 — 特别无语，已经卸载了，它却自动扣费了

### 1/5 — R-rated ads, DO NOT RECOMMEND as browser

*2023-03-07, version 1.3.8*

I don’t usually write reviews but this app is useless due to constant ads that are time based and some R-rated. I recommend you don’t waste your storage space and avoid this app.

### 2/5 — It’s just ads

*2023-01-03, version 1.3.8*

Dark Browser is just a bunch of ads. And it didn’t make web pages darker than any other browser if you manage to get past the ads. I am removing the app.

### 1/5 — Failure

*2022-12-24, version 1.3.8*

The many ads flood the screen with bright white light.  That’s a pretty bad failure for a “dark” browser.

### 1/5 — 真的垃圾，广告多的要死

*2022-08-26*

过几秒钟弹出来一个广告，介绍上的无广告真不知道你们有什么脸写上去

**Developer response:** 非常抱歉给您带来了不好的体验 广告弹窗问题我们已经收到 会马上核查并优化相关功能 感谢您的反馈 我们会努力做到真正的无广告体验

### 1/5 — Just bad

*2022-07-22, version 1.3.8*

Open the app. Nothing but asking to pay. If you don’t then you get ads with a reminder to pay a subscription. This app isn’t worth the time to download.

### 1/5 — Ruined an excellent app

*2022-05-24, version 1.3.8*

Shocking the adds coming up on here now. Deleted

### 1/5 — Ads ads and more ads

*2022-05-17, version 1.3.8*

Ad as ad ad ad ad ad ad and more ad

### 1/5 — So many ads

*2022-05-17, version 1.3.8*

Used to love this app. now it’s impossible to use, ad after ad

### 1/5 — 无通知强制消费68元

*2022-03-17*

一星都不想给，下载之后立即取消订阅了，想着免费试用三天，但是一点也不好用！！！一个月后，没有通知，直接扣了68元！已致电苹果客服要求退款，要是下个月再扣钱，我还打电话投诉。垃圾软件！

**Developer response:** 非常抱歉给您带来了不好的体验和意外扣费 苹果订阅服务的取消和退款需通过苹果官方渠道操作 如果您在使用中有任何问题 欢迎在应用内反馈 我们会努力改进

### 1/5 — being deleted

*2022-01-12, version 1.3.5*

Not safe to track privacy 👎

### 1/5 — This would have gotten 5 stars, if it weren’t for one thing

*2022-01-08, version 1.3.5*

The advertisement that comes with the free service- a darkened web browser -is a solid white screen that flashes into your eyes. When making an app designed to be easy on the eyes in low light setting, you just can’t do this. You guys are idiots.

### 1/5 — I’m not able to use it

*2026-03-19, version 1.5.1*

It crashes each time I launch it, so I can’t even open the UI.

### 1/5 — 打开就闪退

*2025-12-28, version 1.5.1*

进都进不去

### 1/5 — Crashes on open

*2025-12-10, version 1.5.1*

Maybe it’s because I have an older iPad, but I can’t tap the icon to open the app, seems to open for half a second and then closes. I figured out a workaround so I was keeping it for a while to see if it was a temporary bug, doesn’t seem to be.

### 1/5 — ironically is bad at what it does

*2025-05-05, version 1.5.1*

this browser inverts the colors when in dark mode, even though it also tells the site that it wants dark mode, leading to sites that actually use dark mode to not support it in this app

### 1/5 — Dark Web Cyber Crime Unit

*2025-05-01, version 1.5.1*

Dark Web is For Coward 🤡 Clowns…

### 1/5 — What am I exactly paying for here?

### 1/5 — 一颗星都不想给

*2024-05-04*

还好看了评论，马上去取消订阅了，不然试用三天后也得被宰。流氓软件！
