Ratings and Reviews
Nearly perfect… but proper sync needs to arrive sooner than later
Absolutely love the Mac version of Arc so was stoked to find it available for my phone. Then I got slightly confused… two different apps available that appear to be Arc browsers from the same company…
One that actually syncs with your desktop browser but appears to be the one they’re leaving behind, and another that doesn’t sync in any way with desktop but is the one they want as a flagship going forward.
To make things more confusing, there are features of both the browsers that I really like! Arc Search seems snappy, the Browse For Me function is the most crazy useful feature i’ve ever used, and I love the general UI and experience. It does feel very barebones though and hopefully we will get more customisation options soon.
The biggest issue is that it is in no way connected to my Mac browser, and I have to flip over to their OG Arc browser app to get to any of my bookmarks etc.
Please guys, I love everything about Arc and your overall mission, but please get the best parts of these two browsers combined!
(And also the weekly update for Arc Search this week… is the same as last weeks? I literally look forward to Thursdays knowing i’ll get some cool new stuff added when I update, hopefully next week will be an actual update!)
This is more like it!
This app takes whatever query you throw at it and Browse For Me will build a web page with (usually) all the salient information you need and beautifully too. No clicking on any number of pages looking for the same info, it just does it in one go! Then there are links to the pages, plus the tabs and more.
I love it. The sooner it comes to Arc on the Mac the better.
Very good app, but customer service is poor
I love this app, especially the “Browse for me” feature which searches the top results to create a website to answer your specific search. However, that and some other features require you to set Arc as your default browser. Personally, I like this app for general searches, but if I open links my friends send me or to sign into accounts, I’d prefer to use Safari so want that as the default. I don’t see why Arc needs to be default in order to enable some more features. The app is great and is definitely worth 4, if not 5, stars - however, I emailed customer service a while ago and they are yet to reply. It wasn’t an urgent question but a sooner reply would have been nice.
Edit: you do not need the app set as your default anymore to use the AI features which I am grateful for, so I have increased my rating to 4⭐️
