When I choose any emulation the format is off and the app is unusable. ### 2/5 — Ok *2022-11-20, version 26.1* Tried the basic version. There’s no full screen toggle on videos the cost of 9.99 for the pro version is too much, plus god only knows what other in app purchases will come up!! The basic version does not even have Adblock which should now be a legal requirement for any browser. The browser seems to be fast and light. ### 2/5 — Crash *2022-03-19, version 26* Whenever I swipe from left to right, the app crash! Any page any time. ### 3/5 — Less than happy *2021-06-05, version 25.5* Seems you have to pay $10 for each iPad you have. I paid for one but sorry, no more ### 3/5 — Decent alternative to safari - held back by bugs *2020-01-03, version 25.4* It’s good browser by there are some bugs. Changing font sizes doesn’t change the font size for the page, and some sites load slower than others. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? ### 3/5 — Hate the new icon *2019-09-05, version 24.3* The new icon is incredibly ugly and it stands out on my screen. I like the browser. Have been using it for years. But I may delete the app over the last change a few days ago. ### 5/5 — Sooo many features, & frame-ins work great... *2019-08-31, version 24.2* Long-time user here. I’d really be stuck without Perfect Browser. Frame-in pages display correctly. Downloads are like a full desktop browser. Lots of features and updates. Please keep it up! ### 5/5 — The best browser on AppStore *2019-08-12, version 24.2* There’s many third party browser. But this is the best out of all of them. Real function, customisation, flexibility and more. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2019-07-24, version 24.1* initially there was a major problem with the time and signal bar. I wrote them and they fixed it within a few days. Great customer service. Great product! **Developer response:** Hi, this has been fixed in the last update. We usually respond to emails in the order they're received.. but rest assured we were on top of it as soon as it was reported. Feel free to get in touch with us using the Email App Support option in Settings, if you need any assistance. ### 4/5 — New version. *2019-07-09, version 24* How does one search in-page with the new layout? It’s not obvious. ### 5/5 — Not Cool guys. *2019-02-14, version 22.4.1* Used to love this browser told any one I met how much you can customize it and its worth it to pay the pro then they stopped updating the app tweaked the name and are trying to get their first customers to pay again for pro , I dont understand this logic still have the original pro app have tried to use it but since it no longer updates it randomly crashes and i have to re-open the app feels like the last update of the older app made it this way to try and force you to switch over to the tweaked name “Pro” version again , But sorry these days you cant just keep shelling out 8$ whenever an app decides to Tweak their name and change the icon to lightning symbol . ### 5/5 — It lets users customize their internet experience *2019-01-17, version 22.4* I would like the option to download the internet files to Dropbox, iCloud, or one drive, and I’m not sure if it’s currently possible. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not updated for 10 months. Now useless. *2023-02-13, version 26.1* This was the best browser on iOS for close to years. It is useless now. It appears the developers abandoned it. No recent updates. Tons of bugs. Worthless if you have a newer iPhone. ### 1/5 — Not free *2022-12-28, version 26.1* This is typical App Store false advertising. It costs $8 to use ad blocking in this “ad blocking browser.” There are already tons of free browsers with partially functioning ad blocking, so why would I pay $8 for this one without being able to evaluate how well it works? The developer wants you to trust that this feature actually works, but the first thing they do is lie to you about the app being free. So frustrating. ### 1/5 — No customer support *2021-10-25, version 25.5* I have reached out several times for support. When everything is working, all is well, but if you have a glitch, you are on your own!! ### 1/5 — Needs free trial *2021-10-02, version 25.5* If you are going to sell a product’s ad blocking capabilities, it needs to be better than other browsers that do so for free such as Brave. Will not even consider using without a free trial because there are specific ads that I don’t know if it blocks or not and am not willing to pay money for a solution without assurance it works. ### 1/5 — Needs an update badly *2021-09-23, version 25.5* I’ve been using this for years and now it has crashes on some pages, it hasn’t been updated in almost 2 years and ios15 just launched. ### 1/5 — my view *2021-04-02, version 25.5* what’s the benefit of this browser??? you can do all the option through safari.... I think ### 1/5 — Adblock is a paid feature *2020-09-10, version 25.5* And their “dark” mode does not turn pages dark, only the menu bar. How useful is that? ### 1/5 — The worst browser *2019-04-30, version 23* This is the most annoying app I have ever used. It's not a demo but it pops up a window after every refresh asking if I want to upgrade. It's unusable. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Love speed *2019-01-13, version 22.4* Dear developers this need another update. When you search on Google or yahoo it pauses and gets stuck in loading mode ... I love this so far but please fix ### 1/5 — New version charging $8 for features I had previously *2018-12-24, version 22.3.2* New version, old WebKit is being deprecated. I get it. However, you can transfer features I had paid for previously! I have all of the “pro” features in the last version, and now the dev is charging $8 for something I already have?? The browser is “ok”. The UI is rough around the edges, likely as it was designed by a developer, not a UX person. Without the pro features, it’s just another browser and not worth it. But, the pro features aren’t worth $8 either. It’s too bad, I used to really like this browser. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Data not collected :) *2024-02-11* Finally, a browser that doesn’t collect data! Paid the 10$ almost immediately. Please don’t sell out! Also has noticeably better audio quality than Firefox Focus. ### 5/5 — Impressive capabilities with great ad blocking *2022-10-13, version 26.1* Updated review: I'm changing my review from four stars to five stars. I've come to realize how useful this browser is. When I can't do something in Safari, I have been find I can make it work in Perfect Browser (PB). I doubt you'll find a browser that has as many configurable options as PB. Being able to choose multiple browser emulations or to even configure your own is pretty impressive. The ad blocking works extremely well. My favorite PB feature is the ability to put "favorites"on the home screen. I've really come to appreciate how useful this is. It also supports a bookmark bar, but being able to have a separate section called "favorites" with the ability to line them up however you want, can come in really handy. For instance, I have about multiple different shopping links that I can put right next to each other on the Homepage. With a bookmark bar, you are typically limited by the width of the screen. But the way that PB does favorites, you can put a LOT more bookmarks directly on the homepage and organize them however you want. I use this browser several times a day and it has become indispensable to my daily browsing needs. ### 5/5 — A truly great browser *2022-03-29, version 26.1* Without this browser, I would use the web much less on iOS. It's the only browser I know that properly blocks video autoplay ALWAYS. Its outstanding configurability makes it behave far more usefully and less painfully than any other browser I've tried (and I think I've tried them all). In short, it's the best by far; there is no second. ### 5/5 — Thumbs up *2021-03-20, version 25.5* I like it best so far ### 5/5 — Great Browser-Need Default Option *2020-12-31, version 25.5* I love this browser. The only thing it’s missing is a way to make it the default web browser on my iPhone! Then it’d truly be perfect’ ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-09-03, version 25.5* This browser has everything you will ever need everything seems so nice sleek and dark. ### 5/5 — Beat iOS browser *2020-06-04, version 25.5* Look, I’m a bit odd. I always want to see full desktop on my phones browser. Some sites won’t work in this mode on Safari and I discovered this app. It’s expensive but I get what I want. ### 5/5 — Good job *2019-12-14, version 25.3* I really like this app but I was wondering if you could change one thing. You have your bookmark that you can edit and move them up and down to put them in alphabetical order. But when you want to add a bookmark in a folder I have to scroll the whole list. Can you put a edit button at the bottom left like bookmark. Thanks ### 5/5 — Unpredictable *2019-11-15, version 25.1* Freeze on/ off ### 5/5 — Pricey but great browser *2019-09-11, version 24.3* Since I found this a few years ago its the only browser I use. Hid Safari off in a folder and never use it period. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
