Comments on Native Alpha for Android

★★★★★ Nishank Baba · Nov 4, 2024

This app is a lifesaver thanks to no ads and easy settings to change the websites into native apps. Works fine as intended no problem at all. Just a small change to home screen by adding icons of websites to sort faster will be a better upgrade.

★★★★★ Mikko Vermasvuori · Oct 10, 2025

Works great offering a clean and maximized view of a page. I also like the front page with links. Simplified no thrills launcher for a couple of my favorite sites. Just what I need on an e-ink device. As a mobile app this is used with small screen devices, and it would be nice to further optimize usage of that space. Could you add a feature to scroll down by user set number of pixels after loading a page? E.g. when reading newspaper, I don't need so see the almost empty header of each page.

★★★★☆ Mohit G · Dec 20, 2022

Decent app with excellent concept. Improvable though. I have Brave browser I wish Native Alpha could use the same web view as Brave. It would save the users a lot of efforts of logging in into accounts, etc.

★★★★★ Chikong Cham · Oct 7, 2025

Very clever app that effectively turns a website into a clean full screen native app experience given a lot of the Android apps like OneNote, Reddit, Office 365, Teams, etc. are inferior compared to the web browser based ones. Strips out the ads and creates Home screen shortcuts too. Works great with Samsung DeX desktop. Native Alpha Plus (paid version) has immersive mode (no window title bar) for full RDP experience.

★★☆☆☆ KRISHNANUNNI.K.A · Jun 20, 2023

Can't able to view the top section of websites in my poco f1

★☆☆☆☆ dd d · Dec 24, 2025

The "Override global settings" icon, "Delete" icon etc., is not showing in the app anymore (it used to be displayed next to the individual website links). Also, the websites are not opening in dark mode anymore, even if the phone display is set to dark mode. Kindly correct these bugs asap.

★★☆☆☆ ConSdr · Jun 7, 2023

Makes running websites and Web Apps a pleasant experience. If the ability to edit cookies of a site/web app were added then that would make this an excellent alternative to normal Chrome browsers! Please make this possible! I would then definitely be willing to purchase the premium version of this app if this were a feature.

★☆☆☆☆ Arthur Domino · May 5, 2025

The new version says "please scroll to the bottom" and won't let you continue even if you can't scroll because everything fits on the screen lol

★★☆☆☆ Ákos Kovács · Feb 13, 2025

Theme is wrong, white text on white background vice-versa with black, top also reaches behind the notification bar... Unusable
