What’s New
Version 1.4.0
As much as the hamsters would love to have been in hibernation during lockdown, they have in fact been busy burrowing away in preparation for this release!
They are particularly proud to bring you the most requested features from our HamsterBrowsing community along with a number of improvements and bug fixes:
• Scroll super-slowly or super-fast with an expanded range of scrolling speeds. You can change the hamster running speed in settings. Alternatively, hold down the settings button to access the Scroll Control Panel and change the speed on the fly in Swipe-to-run mode. There are now 80(!) speed levels to give you much more control.
• You can now scroll on your Instagram direct messages!
• Previews of tabs containing PDF files now show correctly on the Tabs page.
• Missing scroll bar indicators on web pages are now visible when using hamster-powered scrolling.
• The positioning of floating toolbars at the top of some web pages has been improved.
Many thanks for your continued support of HamsterBrow! Please send any comments to feedback@hamsterbrow.com or write the hamsters a review here on the App Store.
As always, Happy HamsterBrowsing!
Ratings and Reviews
Handy app
Very useful for reading especially at times like lunchtime when you may not have both hands free.
Hands free!
The app is pretty cool as it allows me to read my favourite websites without touching the screen. The auto-scroll feature is smooth and works as directed :) It is nice when using an ipad in bed and reading long websites as I don't have to touch the screen! Also useful when on public transport and holding a bar; I can still use the internet by just tilting my iphone with my freehand while holding the bar with other hand. Also nice when eating and having gooey hands! The animal themes and noises are cute and give a new experience on the boring web! The cat and hamster are very very cute.
Great app!
What an app! What a great idea! Really useful when standing doing other stuff. You can tailor the speed you want.
Developer Response ,
Many thanks for your enthusiasm and for taking the time to write a review. It's great to hear that you're finding the app useful and enjoying the customisation. Happy HamsterBrowsing!
