### 5/5 — ほんとにshioriさんのアプリ使いやすい

*2026-08-01*

使いやすく毎日使っていますありがとうございます

**Developer response:** 多分Google検索でのポップアップ表示ですね。

背景に元のページが表示されていることかと思いましたが、判別処理となるとサイトが変わればまた対応という、落ち着かない事になってしまうため、おっしゃる通り以前のものに近い感じが良いかもしれません。

現在のものは以前と同じ部品ですが、iOS 26によって見た目が変わっています。

### 5/5 — 使いやすいけどアップデートに少し問題が。

*2025-11-24*

いつも愛用させていただいてます。

最近気になったことは、ボタンの位置ですね。アップデートによって戻ったり、リロードするボタンがウェブ内の項目と重なってしまいどうやっても押せないという状況が発生してしまうのでそこは今すぐに改善してほしいです。

**Developer response:** 更新版2.6.2にて対応しました！

### 3/5 — Impressive...

*2023-08-02*

as in, its impressive this app has been consistently updated dozens of times over the course of almost a decade, yet you wouldn't be able to tell by the UI and feature set. As far as I can tell, this app brings, basically nothing special to the table. And browsers can run bookmarklets, and this thing literally does not even seem to have a tabbing system. 🤨 What is this, 2006? Personally I see no reason to keep this app. If you find the simplicity to suit your style, then thats cool. I however, do not.

**Developer response:** Thank you.

This app hasn't changed much from the beginning.

Perhaps this will continue.

### 5/5 — とても良いAppです

*2023-07-16*

デフォルト化対応すばらしい！今後もずーーっと更新継続お願いします(ないと、ものすごく困りますので)。

### 4/5 — 広告消したい

*2023-07-15*

有償で良いので広告削除機能があれば。¥400程度なら出したい。検討頂ければ幸いです。引き続きこのアプリの開発運営のほうよろしくお願いいたします。

**Developer response:** 上部の枠とたまに表示される全画面広告は、アプリ内（ i ）ボタン内、広告の除去から購入、解除できますよ。
無料もしくは数百円で何年も利用できるという点を、制作側の視点でも考えてみてもらえたらと思います。

### 5/5 — グー

*2023-05-21*

最高

### 5/5 — 素晴らしいアプリ

*2023-01-03*

数多くの筆問に素早く解答してくれる最高のアプリです。愚問にも答えてくれるので嬉しく思います‼︎

### 3/5 — 保存できるのは満足してますが…、

*2022-12-18*

運営がアップデートした途端に
［WEB履歴］に不具合が起きています。
１つ見たいのに多く出ていて、
履歴を消しても沸いています。

この不具合はどうにかしてください

**Developer response:** 同じページやサイトで、アドレスが少しだけ異なる場合かなと思われました。
タイトルが同じになるため、履歴は同じように見えます。

また気になった時は、対象ページのアドレスを見てみてください。

### 1/5 — It's  Google!

*2022-05-07*

If I wanted to use Google I would use google!
That should be made known up front.

**Developer response:** The search engine can be changed from the in-app settings.
Please try it.

### 4/5 — Great browser!

*2021-12-23*

Please update for iOS 15
