Best accountability browser out today.

I started using Lion browser in 2018 during a very stressful time in my life.
It is fast to download, and easy to use. The accountability emails work, and the bookmark feature is easy to use.

Most of all, the owner himself has responded multiple times to questions I have had and has fixed them. I will be following this browser to see the next steps.

This is a must have for christian iphone users.

Good but needs a lot of updating

This browser is nice to have but has not been updated in over a year. It doesn’t give you the ability to block anything either. Apple airplay does not work with it. No Adblock either. But this is a very useful and needed type of browser for millions of people.

Functional But Buggy

Popular websites like YouTube will not display correctly but there are work arounds.

Browser apps that have something like a “submit” button permanently attached to the bottom of your screen can be obstructed by the browsers interface.

A few suggestions….

I’ve been using Lion for a few months now, and overall, I really like it. I would like to make a few suggestions though and mention a few bugs. It would be great to be able to put a website as a Home Screen app rather than only being able to save it under Bookmarks and Quick Links. It would make it a lot easier to get to those that we really want to get quickly if we could select “Add to Home Screen” as an option. I also wish we could reorder Quick Links. Last thing on suggestions, please put a forward button at the bottom. There’s a back button but no forward button. Both would be nice.

As far as bugs, sometimes when trying to go through all web pages open, if you click on one to bring it up, it doesn’t bring the webpage up. It basically gets stuck to where when tapping on it to select it, it acts like it’s already pulled up. Hard to explain but this happens when the dots appear at the bottom as you’re trying to go through webpages that are already open. Sometimes tapping on one won’t bring it up. And lastly, sometimes it’s hard to get the bottom navigation bar to come back up when on a page. You have to scroll all the way to the top and sometimes tap incessantly to get it to show back up.

Just some suggestions/feedback. Overall, very thankful for this web browser.

Great, just one bug

Works almost perfectly for anything I’ve needed. Only issue is sometimes the bar at the bottom is in the way of a website’s bar at the bottom, and there is no way to hide that bar to access the website’s bar.
