OPTIC Mobile (Friendly Eagle) vs PC View Mode for Safari

The mobile app allows retrieval of certain number of records from the OPTIC server to view and update them on the mobile device, then saving those records back to server. New records can be created and existing ones can be deleted as well. If a connection to the OPTIC server cannnot be established, saving is done on device - with the possibility of having them uploaded to server manually or automatically as soon as a connection to server is detected. The records operate with default or or custom layouts (templates), automatically downloaded from the server after a successful login. Documents ("Resources" section) can be downloaded to device for later viewing - while disconnected from the Internet - opening with the default device applications. Similar for SDS (Safety Data Sheet) documents. Please keep in mind that the more data downloaded, the longer the waiting time is going to be. Also, extra data charges may incur from your cell service provider - therefore it is strongly recommended to download while on WiFi, as much as possible. The SETTINGS section allows customization of the volume and frequency of the downloads, as well as resetting the app anytime - with deletion of all locally stored app data, in order to free up storage space. The app complements the OPTIC System Web application and its strongest asset is the ability to operate on records and locally downloaded documents while disconnected from the Internet. For the full set of features it is recommended to use the Web application. To log in, use the same Client ID, User Name and Password which you normally would use in the Web application.

You tapped "Request Desktop Website" in Safari, and the page stayed in its mobile layout. Or a site told you "Please use a PC to access this page" and stopped you there. PC View Mode is a Safari extension that opens those sites on iPhone and iPad as the real desktop version. ▼ What it does · Tap the button once and the site switches to its desktop layout · The site is remembered, so it opens in desktop view automatically from then on · Tap the same button again to go back to the mobile layout ▼ Why it works where Safari's built-in option doesn't Safari's built-in option only changes how your browser identifies itself (the User-Agent). Your screen width stays the same, so sites that pick a layout by width stay in mobile mode. PC View Mode changes both: how the browser identifies itself and the page width it reports. That is why sites that ignored the built-in option switch to their desktop layout here. ▼ Made for · Working in company systems and admin panels (WordPress, AWS, internal tools) while away from your desk · Booking and member sites that show "desktop only" or block phones · YouTube, Amazon, eBay and Wikipedia with the full desktop UI, filters and comparison tables · Using an iPad as a laptop replacement, with sites looking exactly as they do on a PC ▼ Key features · One-tap switch between desktop and mobile view · Per-site rules remembered automatically (manage or delete them from the settings list) · Three page widths to choose from (1024px / 1280px / 1440px) · Floating button on the page: pick any of the four corners, or hide it · UI in 33 languages, with a manual language override ▼ No surprises · One-time purchase.
