Private Browser Deluxe
Ratings & Reviews
I was so sick of Google and Safari; the inability to actually get the search results I want after literally TIRELESSLY trying. Editing search criteria, using quotes, logging out, private browsing—which is a joke—and all the other tips and tricks and still getting the opposite of the results I was looking for. This has been helpful so far and in comparison with the other private browsers it has the ability to open multiple tabs which is a godsend bc I ALWAYS have literally hundreds of tabs open because when I search I open in background to view later. The only downside is the large ads at the bottom of screen that don’t go away EVER. But I can deal with that to get better and not the exact same predictable results. I would prefer an occasional pop up that I could X out or a way to X out the smaller on screen pop out vs paying the $2.99 for no ads. I’m still early into using this app and will update accordingly.
This App works very well and runs well. This App can come in handy for Christmas Shopping or Birthday Shopping because you can have it set up where it NEVER saves your history. I would highly recommend this App to everyone it will help lots in the long run. You will never have to worry about your kids oranyone sneaking and checking the historyto see what's been searched or purchased. If your using someone's phone and you don't want them to know what your doing have them download this App so they won't know what you did or just to be extra safedelete the App once your done with there phone. I use the App for Online Shopping personally. This would be the perfect App for Online Shoppers andShopaholics LOL. I wasn't recommended the App I just came across it one day on the App Store and decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did because everything worked out perfectly in the long run. I rated this App 5 Stars ***** because well everything I said previously in this post and for future uses. Also in the App you can Customize your Settings plus you can add a 4 digit Passcode for when entering the App just to be secure andsafe about everything.
Update: I’m now rating this app one star because not only is it seriously deficient in file management as outlined below but today I noticed that all of my downloaded files are now corrupted or somehow unusable. I have downloaded files & images that cannot be viewed in this app and cannot be exported to any app whether it’s the built in Apple “Files” app, Dropbox, email, SMS messaging, etc. Now when I try to export a file to any app I either get an error that the file cannot be read or I get an “unexpected error” in Dropbox while other apps just plain close and don’t say or do anything. Now that my files are all lost I am done with this app. It’s a total loss. 👎Original review:This is an almost perfect replacement for a private browser app that I used to use but has been long abandoned forcing me to search out a replacement. This is very close to what I need but it needs a few more things. First, you should be able to open any link in a new tab including links to images. Second, a built in video player like safari has. Third, needs a better file management interface with just thumbnails instead of all of the file details. Fourth I should be able to swipe on an image in my files and move to the next image. There should also be a slideshow option. Fifth, and most importantly, there should be a way to easily export the file contents whether it's a built in FTP server or a transfer through iTunes or something other than exporting all of the files to Dropbox and then waiting forever for those to upload just to download them somewhere else. That's way too clunky. Anyways it's a very good app and I hope to see more updates that will hopefully incorporate the aforementioned ideas.👍
I love this app DONT get me wrong just need to fix a bug lol since I have a iPhone 11 and I have facial recognition enabled in it when I close the app it dose a weird bug where it shows the facial recognition prompt up but then goes away it dose this when I close the and It stops me from opening any other app after closing but it doesn’t soft lock my phone just I have to swipe up again and yeah I know “ oh it’s not that big of a problem” but I have to fight with my phone to swipe up and choose over the apps I have open and I want to close so I would love if they fixed this I have always loved this app
And it should be, should it keep your tabs opened when you close the app. At least make it a setting. I have several tabs I always have open on private, yet every time I close the app I have to go to my history and open them again. It's rather annoying. You might think it defeats the purpose of this browser, and I get that, but there's nothing users love more than options. So, at least make it a setting for us. I would rate 5 stars if I could get this. It would make the perfect browser for me. Sleek, functional, smooth and user friendly. Thanks in advance if you read our reviews, I hope you consider my suggestion. For now, I will delete the app. However, I will check back from time to time to see if you updated it.
The dark UI is nice, it’s simple, and setting it to NOT save browser history and to constantly flush cache is incredibly satisfying. No more eating needless space on my phone, it just does it automatically.Again but I don’t see that my original review stuck, only complaint is a lack of diverse ad block options, and the other complaint is entirely an Apple problem and not the app or developer’s fault: not being able to set it as my app and phone default over crappy safari or chrome.
This app has a great idea to it. I love how it gives you lots of privacy options and lets you download along with the dark theme, but it is not that stable and has a bad way of showing ads. First of all the user agent does not work at all and also the app would often crash when downloading large files. I don’t mind adds and I understand you need them for money, but having them persistently stay on the screen and block other content is just annoying and ruins the experience. With some changes and bug fixes this would definitely be my go-to browser
1. if you create a bookmark folder and save links into it. clicking the resulting bookmark does nothing. If you move that same bookmark to the favorites folder it works again. have been able to reproduce this problem nany times. Need better basic testing, -2 stars. 2. In files, if you have multiple files in the directory, and you have one file open (an image), you cannot just swipe and move through the list if images, you have to exit that file, then select the next one, and repeat each file you want to view. This is a lot of wasted motion for a mobile device. Need common sense UX/UI, -1 point.* otherwise it seems like a decent app.
I love this app! Since there is an option so it doesn't save your history, I can do what I want without anyone knowing! Like if Im getting a gift for my mom or something, but I want to surprise her, I can use this app! And, in the settings, theres a panic button, so you can close what you were doing, without exiting the app! It's genius! But if you were to watch a video, and you press the panic button, its still plays in the background which really annoys me, but I still love it, and I think youll love it too!
The browser allows you to download things you need on files unlike other browser like safari and google. You could also search private things up and no one would expect it to be on a different browser than the browser that comes with any phone you have. The browser app also has fast loading and no wifi is needed you could use data or not. The browser app is just all around perfect in so many ways that is why I’m rating it 4/5 stars and that is my review on The browser app.
