iCab Mobile is a web browser for iOS. iCab Mobile is customizable in almost all areas and can thus be made into your very own personal browser. PRIVACY: In private mode, no private data is saved permanently. Special private tabs increase privacy even further, with only a small loss of comfort. PROFILES/USER ACCOUNTS: Any number of profiles/user accounts can be created, with each profile having its own settings, bookmarks, etc. Profiles are suitable for an iPad that is used by the whole family, but also for users who want to separate professional and private surfing. TABS, WINDOWS: iCab Mobile can open any number of websites simultaneously in tabs. Tabs can be saved and organized in groups so that they can easily be loaded together again later. Tabs can be protected against accidental closing or overwriting. On the iPad, multiple app instances can be opened as windows (Stage Manager, Split View), even with multiple profiles simultaneously (since iOS 18). FILTERS: Filters can be used to block advertising, trackers, etc. Popular filter lists can be used directly (Easylist, AdBlock Plus, uBlock & compatible), but you can also define your own. USER INTERFACE: The user interface is freely configurable. Action, context and text selection menus, toolbars and gestures can be adapted to your own needs. ACCESSIBLE: The user interface is barrier-free and adapts to the system font size and is compatible with VoiceOver. BOOKMARKS: Bookmarks can be organized in folders. “Smart folders” create special collections based on self-defined rules (e.g. the latest bookmarks from the last 2 weeks). Colored labels allow further categorization. DOWNLOADS: Download any files and manage the files in the download manager, including unpacking/creating ZIP archives, exporting/importing, etc. SEARCH: The app offers a large list of search engines (self-expandable) that you can use to search directly on the web. It is also possible to search on the current page. WEBSITES: You can define what websites can and cannot do. Highlight important content with a highlighter, hide unwanted elements, allow buttons to be clicked automatically (e.g. for cookie messages). Control permissions for camera, microphone and sensor usage. Pro users can even inject JavaScript and CSS code into websites to customize them to their liking. EXPORT/IMPORT: All data can be exported/imported (for creating backups, data synchronization with other devices/apps) WIDGETS: Widgets allow you to control the App and open bookmarks directly from the home screen. Websites can also be displayed directly there. APPLE WATCH: Open websites directly on the Apple Watch (albeit limited). Remotely control iCab Mobile on the iPhone from the Watch. FURTHER FEATURES: - Quick starter - Configurable browser ID (UserAgent) - Full support for international domain names - Simple built-in RSS reader - Kiosk mode - a more limited version of the full-screen mode for kiosk systems. The app includes a store where you can give us a tip via InApp purchase to additionally support the further development of the app. The development of the app takes a lot of time and is a lot of work, which the low purchase price cannot cover. Te sources of income used by the big popular browsers, such as advertising, deals with search engines, tracking etc. are not an option for iCab Mobile. Tipping is completely voluntary and you won't miss out on any important features if you don't tip. However, users who tip will be given the option to change the app icon as a thank you.

Introducing the first fully AUTOMATIC logbook for commercial pilots: Get FlightGauge today, and discover the easiest and fastest way to log your flights. FlightGauge is unique and unlike any other logbook software on the market. Featuring our exclusive LogByWire technology, our app offers professional pilots the convenience of automatically logging their flights, so they can focus on being pilots. When developing FlightGauge, we had three basic principles in mind: Simplicity – An innovative and streamlined user interface creates a captivating user experience, unlike any other digital logbook. Precision – Calculations such as day and night times, flight time summaries, and more are computed with minute accuracy. Automation – Using LogByWire technology, this app can detect flights, find relevant flight details and construct a comprehensive flight record with official flight times. FlightGauge makes it easy to customize your logbook experience and get the information you need when you need it. We understand that not all pilots are created equal and have different needs or expectations of what the perfect logbook should look like. We surveyed pilots from various airlines and branches of the industry, helping us to identify some of the most useful logbook features. The result is a comprehensive, feature-rich, and yet manageable logbook app that delivers a truly breathtaking user experience. Here are some of the features FlightGauge has to offer: Unlimited Data Storage & Sync – Your flights are safe with us. Recorded flights are automatically stored and synced in real time across all your devices. Multi-Device Support – You can install FlightGauge on more than one device. A built-in conflict resolution logic prevents duplicate flight records. For best performance, we recommend installing the app on your EFB or any device with good GPS signal exposure. Instrument time – FlightGauge uses real-time weather information to estimate your instrument time and approaches. Day and Night – Day and night times are automatically computed, accounting for sunrise, sunset, and time zones at the respective departure and arrival airports. Smart Filtering (Stacks) - Group flights into Stacks by specifying parameters such as route, aircraft model, flight conditions, and more. Goals – You can set custom goals for flight time or landing credit and track your progress. Dashboard - This comprehensive overview of your flight time summarizes and highlights flight time totals based on aircraft category, class, and much more. Currency monitor - Keep track of upcoming currency or recency requirements and thresholds to prevent them from lapsing. Import – The import features allow for a seamless transition from other digital logbooks or data sources. Export – We currently support CSV raw data export. You may also generate a fully formatted FAA and EASA-compliant logbook PDF, ideal for job applications. Let’s change the way you log your flights. Download FlightGauge today and try the app risk-free for 14 days. Privacy Policy: https://flightgauge.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula
