Otherwise this is a great browser. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! If you have specific links that are not working please send them my way so I can investigate. Just use the contact option inside the app to email them directly to me. Thanks! All the best - Patrick ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend Lion Browser *2024-02-14* I've been using Lion Browser for the past year, and it has been a fantastic experience! The app's user-friendliness is top-notch, making browsing a breeze. Compared to Safari, Lion Browser's performance is incredibly solid, with just-as-fast load times and smoother navigation. Additionally, the accountability reporting feature has improved significantly over the past year, providing valuable insights into my browsing habits. Overall, Lion Browser has truly enhanced my browsing experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly accountability alternative to Safari. **Developer response:** Happy to hear Lion is a tool that is helping! Also thanks for your kind words. All the best - Patrick ### 5/5 — Great Browser and Accountability *2024-01-30* This has been my go to browser for many years. With the newest version, I no longer feel like I am sacrificing the browsing experience for accountability. I highly recommend this browser for all that desire accountabilty and would also encourage parents to consider it as an option for their kids. **Developer response:** Awesome to hear! Thank you so much for your review. Please reach out if you have any suggestions for improvements that will help you further! All the best - Patrick ### 5/5 — Best Accountability Browser Out There! *2024-01-25* I’ve been using this browser for over a year, and it’s easily the best one I’ve used! It’s quick, easy to use, and gets regular updates. Highly recommended if you’re looking for accountability. ### 5/5 — Great app for accountability *2024-01-14* I’ve been using Lion browser for about a year now. I had previously used covenant eyes and ever accountable and Lion browser is just so much more simple, easier to navigate, and cheaper without having to deal with a VPN. ### 5/5 — A great browser! *2024-01-13* I’ve been using this browser for about a year now. The user interface is really nice and it works very smoothly. It did take a little bit to get used to, coming from the default Safari app, since some functions are located in different places to Safari but it doesn’t take long to get up to speed and I’ve not looked back since. The ability to connect the app to a partner has been really useful and the AI functionality is really unique. ### 5/5 — Great browser *2023-09-23* This is a great browser I highly recommend it to anyone it has great features and helps keeps your information secure. ### 5/5 — Love It *2023-06-06* Great browser option for families. My son and I both use it and it works very well. ### 5/5 — Great value *2023-03-01* For the price I pay for lion it was a no brainer. Patrick is also great to deal with. ### 5/5 — The best accountability browser for iPhone *2023-03-01* This new version of Lion makes it the best accountability browser for iPhone. It’s a big improvement over the old one now that I can sync my bookmarks between devices. Also the tab layout has improved a lot. Another thing I like is that the browser also supports downloading files which is super helpful. Overall my partners have been very happy with the weekly logs. I recommend this browser to anyone looking for accountability on iPhone. ### 5/5 — Most recent update improved to 5 star *2023-02-14* I like the overall application although I do not see the accountability reports my partners get them and feel they are complete. My only issue originally was that links would not work but the recent update resolved this. I fell the response times are good and like that I can work on my phone or iPad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed. *2024-06-20* Was hoping for this app to block all images. I checked and confirmed it was on “disable all images and media” to show strictly text no images. So I test it- type in search “bikinis” and instantly all bikinis. It doesn’t work. Bummer. **Developer response:** Hey Taylor, this has now been fixed in the latest release (2.0.5). If you could test it out and update your review that would be awesome! ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2023-11-13, version 1.9.2* Cannot cancel subscription if downloaded. Do not purchase this!!! ### 3/5 — No customer support *2025-01-16* I like a lot about what this app does, but when I reached out to the developer about a year ago, with a question and concern, I got no response. Then three months ago, my weekly report stopped getting emailed to my partners. I didn’t realize it until a few weeks ago. So I reached out to the support email provided and have heard nothing back on that as well. So, the app is pretty good, but customer support is nonexistent. **Developer response:** Hey Smass, did you reach out to contact@lionbrowser.app? If so, I apologize for missing your email. I am usually very responsive. Please reach out and I'll fix your issue. Looking forward to hearing from you. ### 3/5 — Web Phone Number Issue *2023-07-12* The app won’t let you press on a phone number in search results and automatically call. You have to got into the apple phone app and manually dial the number you want to call. **Developer response:** Hey Brky24, thanks for the feedback! I fixed this issue in the latest release 1.6.9. Please reach out to us at contact@lionbrowser.app if you have any other feedback. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Comprehensive *2026-05-14, version 4.0.4* I liked the fact that the app covered AI and YouTube specifically. As well as the various filters that can be used. I found it a bit confusing as to whether the user had to specifically go through the Lion browser app for it to work. I thought it was installed and working on my phone but was able to search basic stuff I thought it might flag and didn’t get any notifications. Personally I feel that I needed more detailed instructions on how to setup the various apps and if I needed them all or if there was one all encompassing version of the app. I wish that separate accounts could be setup for different family members to set different parental controls. With more guidance I feel this app set is very useful for parents. ### 4/5 — Affordable monitoring *2026-03-15, version 3.3.1* Affordable and manageable however connecting with support is not always easy. Forgot password feature doesnt work. ### 4/5 — Good so far *2026-02-28* Been using the lion browser for several years, love it, just upgraded to the family app ### 4/5 — Great stuff with some exceptions *2024-04-15* Looking for a few more UI UX experiences. URL bar toward the bottom of the screen, backwards & forwards buttons, some more safari-esque features. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. Feel free to send me any suggestions for improvements you have using the in-app contact option. I have noted this feedback but if you have any other things you'd like to see please reach out through the contact form (it's the quickest way for me to see it). Thanks again for using Lion! Update: I have implemented the Safari-style bottom search bar. Check out the latest update! ### 4/5 — Great Application *2024-01-10* I have been using this app for a little over a year now. I know there have been a number of updates to the application and I have been excited to see all of them. I also love that this browser limits access to certain things, which is excellent for people who have struggled. I also enjoy how quickly the developer responds to requests and questions. Overall, I think this is an excellent app, kudos to the developer. ### 5/5 — Great Browser! *2026-04-14* I have been using this browser from its beginning! It is a great accountability app that has modernized with technology! It works just like mainstream browsers with added features! Highly recommend! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-15* Amazing browser! I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Effective *2026-03-15, version 3.3.1* This app is perfect for blocking bad habits and addiction. I recommend that people helping their family remove access to the App Store and keep the password hidden so that there is no way around the Lion Browser. ### 5/5 — Using AI for good *2026-01-03* Lion Browser uses AI to detect explicit images on websites. When it detects something it flags that website and adds it to a weekly log that it sends to parents or partners. It’s the best app to teach teens how to be responsible online. Also I love that it has a whitelist because my younger kids can use it then. Only the websites I approve can be visited. Super helpful for homeschooling. ### 5/5 — Great accountability tool *2025-11-14* The browser is done very well. Easy to use. I really appreciate being able to set attraction type when setting alerts for the app, and I like the color theme controls. Only issue is that the scrolling feels just a little bit off at times. ### 5/5 — Great Browser *2025-09-23* Lion Browser is a solid browser because it has parental controls built in. I love that we can get daily history logs for my teen daughter to keep her accountable and responsible online. ### 5/5 — A gem *2025-08-14* This browser is great and reliable. The price is sooooo good for the price ### 5/5 — Great Browser *2025-02-22* Lion Browser is a solid browser because it has parental controls built in. I love that we can get daily history logs for my teen daughter to keep her accountable and responsible online. ### 5/5 — Laptop *2024-11-03* I love this app I just wish it was available for use on laptops! **Developer response:** A Mac version of the app is in the works. Keep an eye out for it over the next few months. All the best! ### 5/5 — Would recommend! *2024-03-26* For anyone looking for some additional safeguards in their life or their children’s lives, this is a great tool for that. I also appreciate that the creator of the app continues to update functionality and how well this app integrates into the iOS system now. **Developer response:** Thanks for such a kind review! I am actively working on the app and always looking for ways to improve it. All the best - Patrick --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
