Scroll is a browser for iPhone and iPad designed to make long web pages easier to read — without constant swiping. ■AUTO-SCROLL AT YOUR PACE Start or pause automatic scrolling with the central play button. Press and hold the button to view and adjust the scrolling speed without leaving the page. ■SIMPLE TAB MANAGEMENT Open, switch between, and close tabs from the tab bar. Open links in a new Scroll tab to keep your current page open. ■ESSENTIAL BROWSING TOOLS Enter a website address or search the web directly from the address bar. Move backward and forward, return to your home page, and organize frequently visited websites with bookmarks and folders. Import bookmarks exported from Safari all at once or choose individual items. Duplicate detection lets you add only bookmarks that are not already in Scroll or repeated in the import file. ■SAVE IMAGES, BROWSE ANYTIME Save images from a webpage all at once to Scroll’s built-in library. Browse them later—even offline—and use auto-scroll while viewing saved images. ■CONTENT CONTROLS Use supported content controls to hide distracting page elements and stay focused on what you want to read.
