### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work

*2023-05-30*

Clicking on links doesn’t work once you google search.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-09-20, version 1.0*

nothing

### 1/5 — Does nothing

*2022-05-01, version 1.0*

I’ve tested a lot of desktop browser apps and this is the only one that does absolutely nothing. Every single link I clicked on failed to open. Perhaps it was just me but it’s still an issue.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-03-28, version 1.0*

Look for something else

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2021-03-08, version 1.0*

Will only open the select few websites it has preprogrammed

### 1/5 — Not play dazn video

*2021-02-20, version 1.0*

The app is good but trying to play dazn from it, didn’t work.

### 4/5 — Good. But not amazing

*2021-11-04, version 1.0*

It bypasses i-ready system check but It isnt that good at opening links.

### 5/5 — Provides desktop browsing everywhere.👍 *Read if you want to understand how it works*

*2023-02-02, version 1.0*

In order to use this browser, you need to press the "OPEN" button in the upper right hand side, enter the URL, and then it will go to the website. The URL is automatically saved as a bookmark. There is no way to edit or delete bookmarks unless you completely delete the app. On certain websites, I could not save file attachments. 

I think issues like these might be the source of some poor reviews. Ok, it is a bit unintuitive, but the developer clearly states that this is a very basic browser. 

In my view, it's a worthwhile trade-off because "DesktopOnlyBrowser" ABSOLUTELY delivers on its promise of providing a full desktop experience on EVERY site that I tried. I have tried a bunch of browser apps and this is the ONLY one I found that provides a full desktop experience with a well known email service that starts with a "Y". It works particularly well on my iPad 11 inch.

 Now I can access all the advanced features that are available ONLY on the desktop version of that website, and such as "block senders", "filtering", "Out of the office". This alone is worth five stars to me. It is also free with no ads👍

 My thanks to the developer!
