Best avoided. ### 1/5 — Worst browser i ever seen *2023-10-28, version 9.25.11* cant even do anything ### 1/5 — Trash App Constantly Crashes *2023-07-18, version 9.25.11* Ipad 5 user here. 9/10 the buttons in the nav bar do not work. It has problems with complex webpages. I really want a browser that is simple to use but also has advanced features. Chrome is also garbage for different reasons but at least it rarely, if ever, crashes. ### 1/5 — Poorly designed app *2023-07-08, version 9.25.11* Click a link in Google, take years to load and url still showing Google, interface is also a joke. ### 2/5 — Kicks you off *2023-05-18, version 9.25.11* After a few minutes it just kicks you off and you have to start all over again, why even bother. ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-01-08, version 9.25.11* Total trash, I have a Ipad 2 air and I tried to get settings, extensions and enable done for this app and got nothing showing up in extensions on safari for the said app. Trying to open the app is a waste of time too, it would not load, it closed itself down a second after it began loading. It’s not worth it and needs a total revamp. Go back to the drawing board, please… sorry but at the end of the day, why create an app that will not do anything? ### 1/5 — Work *2022-09-25, version 9.25.11* Every time I try to start the program it crashes - restart your device ### 1/5 — Will simply not run *2022-08-01, version 9.25.11* I just updated to a brand new iPad. The app will simply not run. The very second I try loading it, it crashes. ### 1/5 — Problem *2022-06-20, version 9.25.11* Keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2022-06-04, version 9.25.11* M1 iPad owner here, the app doesn’t even open, it just crashes the second you open it. ### 1/5 — Insta-crash *2022-05-28, version 9.25.11* Unusable ### 1/5 — Crashes on startup *2022-05-22, version 9.25.11* How does an app get into the app store when it crashes on start up. Ipad pro with latest ipad os. ### 1/5 — Браузер просто тупит. *2022-04-13, version 9.25.11* После последнего обновления невозможно работать, ТУПИТ ПРОСТО ЖЕСТЬ. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-03-20, version 9.25.11* I was interested to try this, but it immediately crashes when I try launching it. I cannot even open the application. If this gets fixed, I can give it another try, and update my rating. But for now, I can’t use it. ### 1/5 — Can’t even open it *2022-03-14, version 9.25.11* Immediately crashes when opening on iPad. Restarted iPad and app with no success. Literally non-functional ### 3/5 — crashing on ipad *2022-02-22, version 9.25.11* hello dear im using the app since long ago but with last update that u have made, i cant using the app because its keep crashing ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-02-14, version 9.25.11* Browser crashes at random. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Allo les jambons *2022-01-19, version 9.25.11* Votre programme ferme inopinément. Réveiller votre tête sinon je vais vers un autre fureteur. Ca presse. ALLLO LA LUNE ICI LA TERRE ### 1/5 — Does not even boot. Once my favorite *2021-11-24, version 9.25.11* Latest os and new iPad. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Crashes on launch *2021-11-07, version 9.25.11* Crashes on launch. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-06-30, version 9.25.11* I downloaded this as it was named several times to be compatible with older iOS systems. I can confirm that for og iPads it no longer works, don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time on IOS9.3, no HTML5 video support *2025-08-30, version 9.25.11* Crashes all the time on IOS9.3, no HTML5 video support ### 1/5 — Crashes. *2025-07-20, version 9.25.11* Whenever i open it up, it just crashes. i’m using ios 15.5. ### 1/5 — Kicks me out of the app *2025-07-17, version 9.25.11* Idk why it does that please tell me! ### 1/5 — Not optimized for iPad *2025-05-16, version 9.25.11* Use this browser on my phone and it’s a 4/5 for me there but on the iPad it’s a 1/5 and that’s only because I have to in order to leave a review. The header was sized completely wrong so I could only add new tabs and go to my bookmarks. The buttons were all behind the apple UI buttons so every time I’d try and go to settings, my iPad quick setting would initiate. I wasn’t able to do anything. Deleted after a minute of trying. ### 1/5 — Laggy *2025-03-20, version 9.25.11* Very Laggy ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-08-30, version 9.25.11* Can’t load a website without multiple crashes. Kinda need that. UI from 2010. Downloaded it so I could change my user profile but a bug wouldn’t let me open settings. ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2024-06-27, version 9.25.11* Downloaded. Thought it was slow, but didn’t ever work aftermath attempts. ### 1/5 — UI not working properly *2024-05-02, version 9.25.11* Very buggy. Url bar doesn't update when u click on links. Certain buttons on menu bar don't work. ### 1/5 — No folders for bookmarks *2024-02-11, version 9.25.11* I didn't mind if the browser was faulty as long as I could bookmark but IT DOESNT HAVE FOLDERS AND THERE IS NO OBVIOUS WAY TO GET A FOLDER in bookmarks and no folders makes the bookmarks useless. Is every app managed by the same person or what? No instructions EVER for anything and nobody says anything. WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE? Am I missing something? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ipad one Browser *2021-07-16, version 6.4.1* Great browser for ipad first generation.
