I hope developer’s can fix that?

Omg what happened to support link I keep getting failed delivery that never happened before. CC is not showing when I watched my Asian dramas. Also where I used to watch on dramacool it redirects to Ads while the drama is being watched. ### 5/5 — 開けるタブの個数を増やして *2023-05-18, version 1.1.6* 追記) iPad版ではタブが30個まで、、 iOS版では60個まで。。 それ故にポテンシャルを発揮できていない。 ーーーーーー これは。。掘出し物のブラウザ♫ 1: 軽量 2: ブラウザとしての基本機能が充実 - サイト毎の設定(も)可能 ダークモード/文字サイズ/デスクトップモード, プライベートモード, 広告ブロック... これほどのは初めて見た。 - データ消去についても、 各々項目 x (期間指定orサイト指定) で一括消去というのは初見。 タイ在住の個人プログラマーさんらしいが、 ぜひこの方向性で開発継続を願う。 あとは細かな操作性とか ### 5/5 — Magnificent *2022-11-21, version 1.1.5* Works wonderfully ### 5/5 — Best Browser *2022-08-04, version 1.1.5* I am using this browser for two years now and I am extremely satisfied using. ### 5/5 — يفكك من الاعلانات *2022-06-26, version 1.1.5* ممتاز ### 3/5 — doesn't work adblock *2021-07-30, version 1.1.5* please fix ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT BROWSER!!!=) *2021-07-01, version 1.1.5* EXCELLENT BROWSER!!!=) For reasons i cant say....its 5 STARS FOR SURE. If i could give it MORE 10 STARS I WOULD. So YES 10 STARS!!! 10 STARS !!! 10 STARS!!! Like i mentioned, i cant say because i want PURE BROWSER to KEEP ITS CURRENT FEATURES. Great work to the developer Prasomsak!!! ### 5/5 — これはいい!! *2021-05-16, version 1.1.2* やっとブラウザ探しの旅が終えられそう。いいよこれ。広告ブロックに文字サイズ変更etc ### 5/5 — Good browser *2021-04-25, version 1.1.2* Hope these features will soon be added: 1. Enabling Pure to be default browser 2. Disable preview link ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Restore purchase on iPhone and iPad *2023-08-07* 2021 I purchased Blocked Ads and have been able to RESTORE purchase over these years until just now I am frustrated. I also emailed developers before I uninstalled and reinstalled app. First I powered off and powered on my iPad (software iOS 16.6) thinking that would fix the problems I am seeing on sites I use this app for, watching Asian dramas and etcetera. I NOTICED WHEN I SELECTED AN EPISODE AND POP UP AD IS NEXT TO IT RUNNING IN BACKGROUND I DO NOT KNOW AND I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN I SEE THIS, I GET SCARY ADS AND DISTURBING ADS. It’s the method these sites functions and I emailed last month and last week with no reply from developers especially when I used FEEDBACK section on the app (Settings) section, to contact developer and usually I get a reply, I hope everything is fine with them. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SCREEN CLOSED ON EVERY ATTEMPT TO RESTORE PURCHASE. THE FEE TO REMOVE ADS IS NO LONGER SEEN IN (DETAILS section) I paid previously. Incognito is DEFINITELY NOT WORKING LAST VERSION UPDATE HAVE BUGS. ### 1/5 — Jackie’s Pure Browser online App review *2021-08-18, version 1.1.5* I rarely write reviews for Apps, products, videos and everything else. This will be my first online App review for the IOS 12.5.3 my current IOS software version installed on the Ipad Mini 2 tablet Pure Browser App that I have used more than once. Honestly these are the 4 main reasons why I cannot respect, cannot tolerate, have no patience and completely hate using the outdated IOS 11 Pure Internet Browser App version 1.1.5 on the App store. While I am using the Pure Browser App on the Ipad Mini 2 tablet to browse the internet, watch more than one Youtube video and reading online information on online articles from Monday- Sunday during the morning, afternoon, evening and after 11:00 pm 100% of the time I am always bombarded with too many unnecessary and unacceptable online advertisements that always gives me too much aggravation, annoyance, disappointment, distractions, frustration, this continuously interrupts me while I am browsing the internet, watching Youtube videos and reading online information on online website articles. Until you have corrected, fixed, included, released and updated the Pure Browser App with an official Adblocker option for me and other IOS users that do not currently have IOS 11 software installed On the Ipad Mini 2 tablet + other Apple devices than do not expect me to redownload and reinstall the Pure Browser App ever again. !!!!!!! Currently the Pure Browser App is not in a useful for me until it has an official Adblocker option to block all unnecessary and unacceptable online advertisements this App only deserves an honest rating of 1 out 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2019-10-11, version 1.0.5* No real way to block ads. Wasted dollar. ### 1/5 — Too many ads!!! *2018-11-22, version 1.0.4* There are too many ads!!!!!!!!!! ### 2/5 — ブラウザ自体にたまに広告が出る。 *2023-08-28, version 1.1.7* その広告は全画面でスキップ不可。そういう仕様だとは知らなかった。課金するとなくせるみたい。ページ上の広告は防止できている。 多数のユーザーエージェントから選択できる。これは珍しい。 ### 2/5 — Pop up ads *2019-05-11, version 1.0.5* Even with the block ad feature on, there are pop up ads. I’ll pass on this one. ### 3/5 — PRIVACY SETTINGS *2025-01-06, version 1.1.8* Google still got location EVEN THOUGH I DOUBLE CHECKED AND I SELECTED (Never) Question is there a glitch, because the other browsers that I use don’t seem to find my location of which I don’t want them to know. My device software is update so pretty please check for me please and thanks. Google search engine is HARDCORE INTRUSIVE 😡😡😡 I looked into my device settings for this app and I DO NOT SEE LOCATION LISTED LIKE OTHER APPS OF WHICH I CAN TURN OFF. PRIVACY SETTINGS FOR LOCATIONS I don’t see this app there either. The numerous years using this app NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH INTRUSIVE FUNCTIONALITY. I want to have the OPTION FOR MY LOCATION TO BE TURNED OFF! UPDATE I SEE THE OPTIONS IN BOTH SECTIONS FOR LOCATIONS IS AS SHOULD BE THANKS FOR FIXING I AM RELIEVED AND HAPPY NOW THANKS AGAIN. ### 3/5 — Its okay *2023-08-03, version 1.1.7* Its fast, but i don't like the fact that you cant get rid of your history, so every site you've been to must stays. ### 3/5 — M *2022-12-22, version 1.1.5* Hi app is nice but it’s not serving the purpose as it’s not downloading video Sad ### 3/5 — One of the best *2022-08-26* It has many featurea my favourite being dynamic dark mode which is suited to me and its fast and reliable the only thing wrong with this is the when trying to acceas a link a ie number instead of taking you to the specific app ie phone it goes to the safari browser then it takes you to the app you want this is time consuming and also there shoud be an option on making this a default app for browsing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pure browser *2026-05-14, version 1.2.0* I like pure browser because it is easy to use and no problems thanks great program works well great ### 5/5 — Hay *2025-11-18, version 1.2.0* Tốt ### 5/5 — Good browser *2025-07-17, version 1.2.0* I am just checking to see what it can do; pleased so far. It captured a webpage screenshot! Love that feature. Seems fast too. ### 5/5 — Pure Browser *2025-06-06, version 1.2.0* This is the browser that adds to what Safari lacks in an outdated Apple I-Phone 5s. The opened context menu is somewhat more clear and concise than the default Safari for what is being viewed. I just tried it with a Wiki Books text book called Useful Information for the Practical Man or something like that. I could only get the title and table of contents, but I can check each separate chapter or article in that book to get it into offline mode. It is the available tools, options, and operations within a browser’s context menu that make an awesome browser. Apple’s Safari has enough tools, options, and operations, but Safari is limited without one or more added third party apps to save files. ### 5/5 — Bad *2025-04-14, version 1.2.0* Hate this slow thingy that’s ### 5/5 — 😍 *2025-04-13, version 1.2.0* The best browser ever. I am completely unable to thank whoever made it. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. ### 5/5 — PRIVACY SETTINGS *2025-01-05* Google still got location EVEN THOUGH I DOUBLE CHECKED AND I SELECTED (Never) Question is there a glitch, because the other browsers that I use don’t seem to find my location of which I don’t want them to know.

The only ADS I saw were when I used a search Engines ADS did pop up for example Asian Drama sites. The main page of app doesn’t have ADS because of subscription. I am satisfied that photos rules is respectful for privacy. Thank you developer’s. ### 5/5 — ADS AND PHOTOS *2024-06-11* This app I have been using more than 6 years and ADS are blocked.
