Great app. I tried several browsers and this is one of the best. Does great on flash video.
★★☆☆☆
Cheap Charging users to view video content on your web browser is ridiculous. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer does not charge users.... then why should you? What makes you so special? It's not like your video capabilities and quality are any better. Stop the madness.
★★☆☆☆
You keep bugging me to rate this, here ya go! I don't know which is better, the frequent crashes, refreshing every time I minimize the browser, not playing certain videos, or slowly loading web pages! This app used to be great, but now the only redeeming feature is being able to use tabs. If your phone can use something better, go get it.
★★☆☆☆
The world most crashed browser. My first impression about this browser was good hence buying the full version for almost $5.00.($4.....) This turn out to be a disaster. It crashes like a blind person. It crashes on my HTC sensation, on HTC jetstream and samsung galaxy s2. I can't believe I paid for this browser. Folks, it is the worst app you should pay for. I can't rate this because, it does not deserve a 1 star. Too many crashings kill the interest in surfing the web. And skyfire 4 had succeeded in doing just that!
