It’s just what I’ve been looking for. most websites work very well. One reason I did not give it. Five stars is because Twitter doesn’t work in this app. Hope that can be fixed soon. ### 4/5 — Pay to remove ads to be a 5 star *2023-12-21, version 3.4* Pay to remove ads to be a 5 star ### 3/5 — Calculator *2023-08-04, version 3.3* Needs favorites & bookmarks ### 3/5 — doesnt work *2023-05-21, version 3.2* no reception ### 5/5 — HIDING APP *2023-05-18, version 3.2* IT IS THE BEST APP EVER MADE TO HIDE YOU STUFF THATS PRIVATE ### 4/5 — for everyone asking for the default password *2023-05-07, version 3.2* it’s .9999. (you need the decimals both before and after or it won’t work) ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend *2023-02-25, version 3.2* Great app, protects my privacy! I especially appreciate the fact that the app says calculator when you are in app switcher. I have have tried other similar apps but this is by far the best one, and the developer is responsive too! I emailed them with an issue where I couldn’t use captions in youtube and within 2 weeks they had already fixed it! Thank you so much :D ### 3/5 — 3.0 update deleted all my saved bookmarks *2022-11-23, version 3.0* This was very frustrating to me and it would be fantastic if there were some way to restore them :( ### 5/5 — Mis archivos *2022-06-27, version 2.39* 👋 ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2022-06-13, version 2.39* The only thing missing is a one-time payment option to remove ads. Other than that, perfect. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — app glitches deleted all of my tabs *2026-02-14, version 3.10* if you need to delete the app because it’s glitching don’t expect it to keep your bookmarks. they’ll disappear. ### 1/5 — New update. Now ads?? *2025-12-23, version 3.10* Newest update brought ads. Now we have to endure a 30 second ad every few minutes. Thanksgreat downgrade I mean update. ### 1/5 — Deleting due to pop up ads *2025-11-09, version 3.9* Have had and used this browser for a few years now and it was mostly great. Nov 2025 brought an update and with that update now there are pop ads that you can’t bypass. Each lasting about 3 minutes. They come on at least once every 5 minutes. This app is now useless and am deleting it. ### 1/5 — New update ruined it *2025-10-04, version 3.6* Latest update made it so you’re now forced to stop everything and watch an ad every 3 minutes. The aggressive ad placements on the top and bottom of the screen from before weren’t good enough apparently. You ruined this app completely with this update, I cannot comprehend what went on through your 8 inch thick skulls that you’d think this is a good idea. Your greed and ego is just that massive? Don’t bother with this app guys just use private mode on safari. ### 1/5 — Fell off *2025-10-04, version 3.6* They added ads that pop out at you in the middle of browsing. Not worth keeping anymore. ### 1/5 — Did you know *2024-08-20, version 3.4* You know there’s a private browser on safari right? 😭 ### 1/5 — Virus *2024-07-06, version 3.4* …so I was just looking up a game I play and it said a few days later 27 viruses detected and I had to get another app to help with that I personally don’t recommend unless you want a virus ### 1/5 — Not fully featured *2023-05-08, version 3.2* The browser in this is not fully featured. I do not get pop up alerts that I need in certain web apps. Perhaps this is due to the advertisement overlay. That’s too bad, seems like a nice app. ### 1/5 — Crash *2018-08-06, version 2.0* I love this app but lately it crashes when I put in my pin and logs me out and I’ve tried everything please fix it ### 2/5 — Freezes up *2020-04-23, version 2.7* I didn’t mean to give 2 stars it’s never worked right and always freezing up ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2024-07-26, version 3.4* Perfect for when the boys take ur phone and go through ur search history ### 5/5 — One tiny problem *2024-07-07, version 3.4* It’s a good app for keeping things hidden but there is one problem, whenever I try to access any kind of website I get the screen that says “No Service” even with full bars and connected to Wi-Fi ### 5/5 — Helpful *2024-05-14* all I can say is it’s helpful. ### 5/5 — Hells greatest dad *2024-03-01, version 3.4* 5 STARS FLAWLESS GREATER THAN GREAT ### 5/5 — Utterly horrible and disgusting *2024-02-03, version 3.4* Deleted and never wanna download again, I hope everyone sees this. It’s a gross app ment for gross things, yes it can be used for better things? (Maybe) But most kids get this app for disgusting things I had many bugs with it and when I searched up stuff like what are legal sites to watch movies on it just did adds for inappropriate stuff. 0/5 stars ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2023-11-15, version 3.4* Just what I needed.. many thanks 😇❤️ ### 5/5 — Good to use and hide *2023-09-22, version 3.3* This app works pretty well, the calculator actually functions too so it can be used as well like a normal one. ### 5/5 — Password *2023-06-23, version 3.2* It’s a good app! I just forgot the password! :p ### 5/5 — Von *2023-05-25, version 3.2* It’s good for u know what ### 5/5 — W *2023-05-20, version 3.2* everybody know why they using this --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
