Addictive Fun

Would rate 5 star if it had a dedicated iPad app. Can spend hours on it finding some amazing sites.

Great app except auto playing videos

I love the app. Super simple and the way I browse the Internet most of the time. It is really annoying that videos auto play and take up the whole screen.

Really easy to operate

I have a few favorite websites and this app helps take some of the work out of picking what to visit! Great idea & great design

Response from developer

It sounds like we need to do a better job onboarding the shake function! (The basic idea is if you're bored, you can shake for an interesting surprise site from our curated list.)

GOOD FOR SURFING THE WEB

i always like trying new ways to discover random content. simple google searches don’t let you find stuff like this because of SEO optimized and sponsored content, so having an app like this is really fun! you can spend hours with this app if you love exploring the internet

Many blank / outdated pages

It’s fun but lots of the pages it pulls up are blank or so outdated they don’t load.
