Sadly, I am writing this review because I am no longer going to maintain Aloha as my default browser. I have, for better or (sometimes much) worse, fully immersed myself in Apples playground. My day-to-day has just become harder to manage by not using Safari. Apple is a wildly aggressive company. They hobble any app that could possibly chip away at their mountain of dominance. And sadly Aloha has become, rather, HAS BEEN a target of this aggression. That being said, USE THIS BROWSER! Aloha is worth absolutely every cent of the ten or eleven bucks they charge PER YEAR. It has excellent security features I’ve never seen on other browsers. It has a Crypto wallet. It has a robust VPN, free of charge, that can cover ALL of your devices. Alohas UI (user interface) is clean and efficient; it’s always easy to navigate the app and find what it is you’re looking for, be-it surface level settings or more advanced settings/options. I have Aloha automatically turn on the VPN when I open the app. It’s nice to know you’re safe with an app. That doesn’t happen often anymore. There’s a lot that makes Aloha special and worth giving a try. No, I am not a fake reviewer or something. Just some 33 year old dude lost in Ohio. I just realized it was kinda a big change for me switching browsers because I had been using Aloha for so long. I really felt like this app deserved a nod and some recognition. Give it a try. I doubt you’ll regret it.

I like this app a lot. I eventually set it as my default browser. Has great security features and the video player is my favorite of any other app. Safari has now incorporated some of the features like swiping anywhere on screen to scroll through a video but this app has more intuitive controls like swiping up and down on the screen to the left; for controlling brightness, or on the right side of the screen for volume. Absolutely brilliant, now I don’t have to flip my phone upright, swipe down from the top right corner to bring out the control center to adjust either of those. It also makes downloading media from just about anywhere on the web a breeze. Try it yourself, the average user has more than enough features at their disposal without having to get a subscription, however anyone who’s serious about their online privacy knows you will have to shell out some dollars for any kind of respectable defense online. Their subscription is inexpensive and offers mostly convenience options to add to what is already available for free. I recommend it for everyone. Decide for yourself though whether their subscription is right for your needs.

I’ve used this Browser On/Off on my iPad Air for about 1yr.. I don’t have anything Negative to say about it.. It offers almost everything the Most Popular Browsers offer. It doesn’t offer as much Customization as the Big 3 Browsers.. However It offers enough Customization to satisfy most people. It’s MUCH Easier to download Web Pages and Videos using this compared the most popular browsers.. At least if your using an iPad. Often I hit the Download Button on a Video in Edge, Chrome, Safari or FireFox, 70% of the time I get “Downloads Not Available on this site on this Browser”.. That doesn’t happen with this Bowser.. The Browser offers a Free VPN and although that is Good, I prefer to use a VPN Bought from a company that makes it’s money from VPN/Security services. I recommend IPvanish, I’ve been using that on All my computing Devices (Over 8), for the past 6+ years, never had any problems with it.. Norton Security Deluxe also is Very Good. Don’t get me wrong you can use the built in VPN in Aloha Browser, I can’t really say anything against it.. It even offers a “Always On” Option letting you use the VPN, on your iPad even when you aren’t using the Browser... The Speed of this Browser seems as fast as any of them...

Solid browser with excellent dev team support.Why would you replace a functional gesture (swipe down to exit full screen video playback) with swipe to change brightness and swipe to change volume? When watching videos how many times do you need to adjust the brightness? Never? Yeah, me too. If I really need to adjust brightness all I have to do is swipe down from the top-right corner of my screen to access Control Center. In fact, I like that there is one level of separation from the active task and the brightness adjustment. This makes adjusting the brightness an intentional action instead of accidentally accessing a hidden control. And there are dedicated buttons on my phone that allow me to adjust the volume level so your second hidden control is completely useless. What I don’t have is a dedicated button to exit full screen video playback. If you are going to rip off features from better media players, at least have the decency to incorporate the ability to disable that feature in settings. And try to show some common courtesy when publishing updates by actually describing the changes in the release notes.
