Brilliant - It just works

Ignore old reviews they all give low ratings, they are out of date. This is now a great Bluetooth web browser, that respects your privacy. It’s basic but it works great, or should I say it’s not been made over complicated. It’s simple to use. With download support recently added this app is just moved up to being excellent. It really is great for when your hardware devices need to interact with websites 😀 Excellent app.
Thanks to the developers.

Brilliant - It works

Great Bluetooth web browser, that respects your privacy. It’s basic but it works great. It would be very helpful if file downloads were supported but unfortunately they don’t seem to work. Uploads work.
This app is well worth downloading.

DO NOT PAY FOR THIS

It rarely works for connecting my Bangle JS. You can’t clear the cache. Navigation is horrible. You have to type in the entire url exactly.

iOS user? Save your $2.

This app is garbage. It locked up immediately upon opening it. There is no instruction or navigation. All I see is the Developer’s bio and a Bluetooth abstract. The app doesn’t connect to Bluetooth on the iPhone 16 series at all.
If you’re still using your iPhone 13, this app might work.
