I JUST WANT THE OPTION TO HAVE 4 EVENLY NATIVE SIZED TABS FILLING THE WHOLE SCREEN, 2 ON TOP AND 2 ON THE BOTTOM✅AND FULL VIEW FEATURE🖼️THATS IT🆙SIMPLE AS THAT🆒 I BOUGHT THIS APP THINKING I COULD HAVE 4 TABS WORKING IN 2/2 FORMAT NATIVELY AND INSTEAD THIS APP ONLY GIVE THE USERS THE OPTIONS TO HAVE MULTIPLE TABS SIDE BY SIDE HORIZONTALLY OR ON TOP OF EACH OTHER VERTICALLY😳 LIKE ON A PHONE BROWSER😳 SORRY GUYS, BUT FOR THE IPAD THIS MAKES NO SENSE😭 PLEASE UPDATE THE APP TO HAVE THE OPTION OF FULLVIEW 2/2-(2 by 2)-(2on top/2on bottom)TABS WITH ALSO OPTION TO HIDE THE ADRESS BARS / FULL VIEW ON ALL TABS🙏 THIS WAY THE MONEY I SPENT HERE WILL BE WELL WORTH IT👍CHEERS🍺

**Developer response:** Thank you for purchasing TileBrowser. Please note there are 4 sizes for each “tab” you may choose and you can make them default to “XL” to maximise the “tabs” to the app window and scroll between them. You may also extend one of the “tabs” to fill window and pause tab scrolling as well. You may also try two-finger pinch on the “tab” title to change “tab” size.

### 1/5 — NO 4(2/2) SPLIT TABS VIEW?

*2023-11-13*

HI THERE TILEBROWSER STAFF👋
I BOUGHT THIS APP THINKING I COULD HAVE 4 TABS WORKING IN 2/2 FORMAT NATIVELY AND INSTEAD THIS APP ONLY GIVE THE USERS THE OPTIONS TO HAVE MULTIPLE TABS SIDE BY SIDE HORIZONTALLY OR ON TOP OF EACH OTHER VERTICALLY😳 LIKE ON A PHONE BROWSER😳 SORRY GUYS, BUT FOR THE IPAD THIS MAKES NO SENSE😭 PLEASE UPDATE THE APP TO HAVE THE OPTION OF FULLVIEW  2/2-(2 by 2)-(2on top/2on bottom)TABS WITH ALSO OPTION TO HIDE THE ADRESS BAR OF ALL TABS🙏 THIS WAY THE MONEY I SPENT HERE WILL BE WELL WORTH IT👍CHEERS🍺

**Developer response:** Thank you for purchasing TileBrowser. Please open the settings from the menu and customize the “tab (window)” sizes (in points) to your liking. If the width or height of app window fits multiple “tabs”, it will automatically arrange “tabs” into rows (vertical scrolling) or columns (horizontal scrolling). For example, if you set the height for tabs to 323 for horizontal scrolling on 12.9-inch display (landscape), you can fit 3 tabs into a column.

For the address bar hiding feature request, we’ll consider and add the feature if the UI fits.

### 2/5 — Not what I thought it would be

*2018-12-19, version 2.3.3*

Is it possible to get a refund?

### 2/5 — Boo

*2018-05-24*

Boooooo only works for browser. Want to open multiple apps at the same time.

**Developer response:** Please note multi-tasking on iPad is an iOS feature and we are supporting it (running TileBrowser in split screen).

### 3/5 — Sounds good, but...

*2017-12-25*

The App's description has all I wanted, but as a visual impaired user, the browser was not accessible, so many buttons and fields were unlabelled. Hope the creator can update the app for iOS VoiceOver compatibility, then I can really try and review.

**Developer response:** We'll add the required labels as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2017-09-18*

The description for this app leads you to believe you can split your screen for mutable tasks and or apps of your choice but in reality it only lets you split between around 6 specific iPhone apps no ones ever uses. I wasted $8

**Developer response:** We are providing a multi-window web browser, video/audio player and document viewer which a lot of users find very useful. Please understand the feature of running multiple apps side-by-side is only available for iPads. Using this app on iPhone does not go through OS’s limitations.

### 5/5 — Best one so far

*2017-07-08*

This allow me to read and take notes on lots of content including stock plots and photos.

**Developer response:** Great to hear you like TileBrowser! Please spread the word for us!

### 5/5 — Plays YouTube in the background!

*2017-01-16*

This is amazing. You can play YouTube audio in the background with this!

### 5/5 — Best Browser Ever Used

*2017-01-13*

I have tried many many browsers. This browser pushes the envelope to an extreme. The download function and multiple widows functions are sick. The only improvement I would suggest, is for the bowser to sync bookmarks with Safari and Google. I have a new favorite browser. #Salute to the programmers.

### 5/5 — Powerful

*2017-01-06, version 2.2.0*

Lots of features
