I have wiped and restarted with no success. Have also rebooted my iPad a few times, and that did not help. It still crashes. Meanwhile the browser still works fine on my iPhone, that is also 14.4.1 I use your browser as I am a ViaSat customer. ### 4/5 — Address bar is missing across the top of the screen next to the viasat logo *2021-02-14, version 86.0.4240.30107* I use this browser daily and and used the address bar across the top ALOT it would be wonderful if it could return! ### 3/5 — Need to update to add default browser selection *2020-09-29, version 83.0.4103.29430* Now that iPadOS 14 is out you need to add the default browser select function to the browser. ### 4/5 — I love it, but... *2020-08-15, version 80.0.3987.29227* Since the update it has become super slow on my phone. Please fix this cos it’s nice having a different browser on my phone besides safari. ### 3/5 — Problem *2020-07-03, version 80.3987.28598* Need fix it ### 1/5 — Security and privacy red flags. *2019-12-09, version 76.3809.26122* This browser undermines your security and privacy in hopes of staying one step ahead of you. It decodes everything you do and visit so it can guess and preload in the background what it thinks you might do next. ### 1/5 — Not a very good browser *2019-02-26, version 70.0.3538.21984* Just started using and find I have to turn off ad blocker for most sites I visit. To make matters worse, I have to turn off blocker for every page I visit within a site because it automatically turns itself on again. It’s also very slow ### 1/5 — What’s the point of this browser? Deleting the app. *2019-02-24, version 70.0.3538.21984* I’ve been using the browser off and on for over 4 months now. At best, it’s as fast as Safari. However, it’s often slower - a lot slower. I frequently have to reload pages because it won’t respond to my touch (which I do not recall ever having to do with Safari). They’ve recently added an icon indicating the number of ada and trackers blocked. So what. Safari may be blocking the same ads and trackers. I only have Viasat’s word for what they’re doing. It’s pretty obvious that a number of the “glowing” reviews are little more than advertisements written by employees, family or friends. Viasat should be ashamed of themselves for letting this happen. There’s just no compelling reason to switch from Safari to Viasat. I’ve tried the new browser for a few months now and I just don’t see the point to it. I’m puzzled as to why Viasat would invest capital into a project like this. I’ll be deleting the app. Viasat’s offer of $100 (or something like that) is not enough to keep me using it. ### 1/5 — Lousy *2019-02-15, version 70.0.3538.21303* Has never worked on iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 12.2. Shuts down immediately every time ### 4/5 — Please add a Dark Theme (As optional for people) *2019-02-07, version 70.0.3538.21303* Please add a Dark Theme as optional please and thank you! I’d be will to change my 4 Stars to a 5 Stars if you can add a Dark Them. Cause its harsh on my eye balls with the White Background with my Severe Stigmatism. (I always had to put the brightness down so I can see more better. But still can’t hardly see anything such as watching my Anime via Web Browser. But I may end up using Google Chrome App cause they have a Dark Theme option.) ### 1/5 — Slower and doesn’t integrate well *2018-11-01, version 68.3440.19521* Not sure what the point of this browser is. It’s slower then safari and doesn’t integrate well with the rest of the iPad. It’s worth exactly what you pay for the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Internet *2021-04-08, version 88.0.4324.30407* Literally the worst internet service ever!!! It worked decent for 2 days after installing and now you can’t even watch Netflix without it stopping every 30 seconds needing to load😡😡😡 and they expect 150$ a month for this crap lol yea hello... definitely would not recommend to anyone!! ### 1/5 — Does not work on my iPad. *2021-01-20, version 86.0.4240.30107* Touch the app and it shows full screen then returns to the Home Screen. ### 1/5 — Terrible (be careful everyone) *2020-12-16, version 86.0.4240.29970* Terrible customer service and the company are really good at lying. They have made me feel trapped, made me feel unwanted, I don’t believe the company even cares about us. I just wanted everyone to please think about it before throwing your money away to them. Have a nice day. ### 1/5 — It’s broke *2020-08-24, version 83.0.4103.29430* This version is broke. The app launches and goes to websites without any input. Then it switches back and forth between different sites all the time. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2020-05-29, version 80.3987.28598* Slower than safari. Seems like it was made by a 5 year old. Company itself is ignorant to the problems. They claim to be efficient, yet they make you down a downloader just to download the browser on the pc. They tell you to down load the browser because it blocks add but it dose not do that unless you give them more money. This is the most inconsiderate company that has existed. Do not give them your business. Hands-down worst internet provider ever. ### 1/5 — Trash app. Horrible company. *2020-05-20, version 80.3987.28286* GO WITH ANYONE ELSE FOR INTERNET PROVIDER, NOT THIS COMPANY. I wish there was honestly a rating less than one star. They make you download this garbage app whenever you get their service. Their customer service is outstandingly awful. They will not help you whatsoever. Do not go with this price gouging company. They aren’t thinking about their customers going through hardships because of covid-19. They are literally doing nothing for them. No internet is better than their internet. ### 1/5 — Data plan!! *2020-05-09, version 80.3987.28286* When I talked to a representative about joining viasat I told them about how previous internet experiences and that I had Directtv. How each month they were using all my data. The representative assured me that wouldn’t happen with them. Within 4 days Directtv had used 25 gb all my data. They helped me set stuff in settings and my data lasted about 10 days. (They gave me 25 more gb). Now I have no data and turned me to Directtv. Which told me to turn it off when not in use. I am very disappointed being between a rock and a hard place!!! ### 1/5 — Pointless app *2020-03-12, version 78.0.3904.27890* This is almost an exact copy of chrome a few versions back with a different name and logo and an app logo by the address bar that functions as a customizable ad blocker. It also is missing a few features from chrome such as microphone on new tab. If you consider this app, JUST DOWNLOAD CHROME!!! ### 1/5 — Poor *2020-03-02, version 76.0.3809.26962* Poor service. ### 1/5 — A Chrome clone *2020-01-07, version 76.0.3809.26962* Chrome. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Better than Brave *2021-03-08, version 86.0.4240.30107* This browser blocks more and is faster Brave! ### 5/5 — I love that I can make it my default browser *2020-10-24, version 86.0.4240.29892* I had always loved the speed and privacy of this browser but until now I couldn’t make it my default browser and have it pop open from all of my apps. Thanks for adding this!!! Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — I like it *2020-04-07, version 80.3987.28286* I use this browser the most. Safari used to be my favorite. I use cable internet mostly and ViaSat’s browser is faster and loads less garbage ### 5/5 — Viasat browser *2019-06-15, version 72.0.3626.22576* You’re going to the right way, keep on. Browser is fast, especially through satellite network. Ad-blocker is good, but some websites still showing ad-banners. Just add IPhone X-versions support and dark theme will be appreciated. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Very Impressive *2019-06-03, version 72.0.3626.22576* This app has helped me enjoy many sports and other news sites without the frustratingly slow speeds common on satellite internet. It also helped me decrease my data usage by blocking so many unwanted ads. ### 5/5 — Great speed and fantastic blocking of popups and animations *2019-03-22, version 70.0.3538.21984* Worth it even if you don’t have satellite, must have if you do. I am now able to use many websites that I had given up on due to the ads, popups, videos and animations. Great work guys! ### 5/5 — Taking chrome to a new level *2018-12-30, version 68.3440.19521* Finally ViaSat has come up with something to increase browsing speed not just on satellite internet but on any connection type this is much improved. Thanks ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-10-17, version 68.3440.19521* This has become my mobile browser of choice. It is significantly faster than any alternatives that I’ve tried. ### 5/5 — Best browser *2018-10-16, version 68.3440.19521* As free browsing and faster than others. Very pleased! ### 5/5 — Insane internet *2018-08-04, version 66.3359.18889* Crazy fast internet. Putting this on my bottom row apps.
