pretty good, needs some work though

This is great App that i've used for several years. Latest version is quicker but lacks several key features (related to cloud storage) that I'd of expected be included by now. These will hopefully be in an update soon: Ability to backup bookmarks to a cloud service; ability to save groups of images to dropbox or other cloud services in a user created folder (was a feature in the previous version but has now been removed); ability to easily define/link cloud accounts thru the app GUI. Could also be handy if it supported video and Gif downloading.

Great app, may no longer be supported

I believe the app is no longer supported as I have sent several emails to no response.

Old issue:
The app became suddenly useless to me on iOS 11.4 and until I updated to 12 I couldn’t get my photos out of the app. Batch downloading to the camera roll or file transfer via tunes did not work. Up until this weird bug the app worked fine and then just stopped and only upgrading to iOS 12 fixed it. No answer for support for over a year.
I will revise my review to five stars if I ever hear back from support as I contacted them again. Otherwise I will be leaving it at 4. My reasoning is though a solid app (so far) with iOS 12 and I believe it is an one of a kind for what it does on iOS, it is also an unsupported app, which keeps it from getting a full five star recommendation. Will update as I test it further with iOS 12.

Was by far my favorite app, but it suddenly stopped being functional

This was a six-star app before iOS 13 came to be. Now, if you want to close a tab, it hangs. Same for saving a bookmark, sharing a file or doing almost anything that is in the share dialog. I have written a feedback several times, but the problem continues. I tried to uninstall and reinstall— made things worse.
This program was the top of the peak, but no more. It is so sad to see such a great job fall into ruins.
I have uninstalled it, but hope springs eternal. I’ll try it from time to time to see if it has been fixed. If so, I’ll immediately change this review back to the five stars it once deserved.
