It is only working as an iPhone app ### 5/5 — Make one for the entire ipad *2025-01-03* Is this possible ### 5/5 — Works well *2024-03-13* Super bright on my iphone 13 pro. If there could be system wide brightness, that would be epic and worth paying for. ### 3/5 — it does brighten webpages,but… *2024-02-04* it technically does its job in that it brightens the websites but is doesn’t actually make the website display at max brightness which can be seen when the phone is overheating which causing the display to dim by a lot ### 5/5 — Amazing way to use full HDR Brightness on iOS *2023-12-29* Edit: appears broken on iOS 17.2.1 I think many people misunderstand the purpose of this app. It is a web browser that puts the iPhone into maximum brightness. It’s not an advertisement for their desktop app. Overall I enjoy having this option to browse in this app when brightness is crucial. Thanks for making it free and not full of ads! ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2023-10-31* Works as advertised ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Please add eclipse mode *2023-09-18* Sometimes the dimmest setting on iPhone is too bright. Eclipse mode on the Mac fixes that , but I just blinded myself opening vivid. If it just respected dark mode and opened to a dark page with a note showing how to turn it on, that would help, but adding the extra layers of dimming eclipse mode provides would be very helpful. ### 4/5 — Need iPad version *2023-04-29* It would be nice to have. ### 1/5 — I don’t think it works *2023-03-19* I adjusted the screen to max brightness, then I launch this app and I didn’t see the screen become brighter. Maybe there’s something I missing but yeah I don’t get it. I bought the macOS apps this company sells and this supposedly came free. I don’t really know what I got for free. ### 5/5 — Amazing way to use full HDR Brightness on iOS *2023-02-17, version 1.1* I think many people misunderstand the purpose of this app. It is a web browser that puts the iPhone into maximum brightness. It’s not an advertisement for their desktop app. Overall I enjoy having this option to browse in this app when brightness is crucial. Thanks for making it free and not full of ads! ## Frequently asked questions about Vivid Browser ### Does Vivid Browser have ads? No, Vivid Browser does not contain advertisements.
