Comments on Violoncello - Text Browser for Android

★★★★☆ Rob the Quiet · Dec 25, 2022

Nice! Just a bit of obscure how to add bookmarks, also being able to set the background color of the search and title bars would be nice. Content can be tricky to sift through, but we can't expect web developers to optimize their sites for text browsers, so it is what it is.

★★★★★ Kailasa Nathan K · Jul 25, 2025

A Great browser which I can use it when I have low internet as it removes unnecessary elements and give me the articles text.

★★★★☆ saewoorii · Mar 16, 2025

It's what I've been looking for to binge read web novels! Instant purchase! Some minuses that I find is: 1. I can't access some websites that required Cloudflare verification. 2. There is no history unless I bookmarked it, or it's a recently opened sites. All of that seems okay to me tho. However, what I'd encourage the developer to add is a built-in translate page to MTL raw novels. It'll help a lot to read sites from other languages to English!

★★★★★ Surya ッ · Mar 9, 2024

That's what I look for... I am looking for only text based browser. I often distracted by image, videos that displayed in other browser. Hope this browser never support image a and videos

★☆☆☆☆ Nate Morrison · Mar 18, 2026

Barely functioning browser, the back button function doesn't work, and nav bar is buried under home buttons. -Using Pixel 9

★★☆☆☆ nageshwar rao adhikarala · Dec 3, 2025

Working but not much usable. Depending on duck go a slow browser, opening slow.

★★☆☆☆ felix hallqvist · Oct 21, 2022

Looked promising, and succeeds where all other browsers failed me (a site displaying only a "no script" tag, with the rest being hidden). But has no dark-theme, and with its white bg is thus unusable to me. There was a note about a premium version having theme feature (but nothing whether any are dark), but this is the free version, so it is what I'm reviewing here. It also failed at a site all other browsers succeeds (even with JS disabled), with a cloud fare error regarding JS disabled.

Address bar is literally under navigation buttons
