Puffin Browser Pro App Reviews

Ive ready every single bad review so far. Ive had this app for about a year now an havent gotten issues that everyone is stating such as I cant use it if Im on lte or keeps crashing when i open the app or their is no sound at all. Every thing works well as its suppose to work for me.

Its been four months since the last update. Are you planning on the next big update yet?

No network connection, please fix the problem!

5.2.0 Updated Review: So far I havent had any crashing issues and performance seems mildly improved from 5.1.3. Like 5.1.3, however, websites do still refuse to load their desktop pages automatically with "request desktop site" on and Puffin lacks an option to use iCloud or a proprietary cloud service to save user data. With those two things improved, additional themes, and small performance gains to smooth out webpage jitter Puffin would be top-grade for me. This is an excellent app and Im excited to see more improvements as we move towards big OS changes like the Apple File System (APFS) for 10.3 and a 64-bit standard across the board with 11.0 that could really raise this app to a higher standard. Also - if there is any way that it could be done, Id imagine many users would appreciate someday having an optional integrated VPN service to allow Puffin servers to mimic location data from individual users to act in place of XFF fields, this way they can avoid login alerts and blocks from certain sites that dont register the forwarded IP information and instead recognize a difference in login location from the norm. Users who wouldnt want the VPN to be associated with them locally but would still like to have the integrated VPN service active could simply establish their own remote VPN address for their devices and thus have the associated location be mimicked through Puffin. 5.1.3 Updated Review: The app seems to be prone to crashing with older devices. Websites frequently load in the mobile version with "Request desktop site" turned on, strongly hindering the more desktop-like browsing experience. A big 5.2/6.0 update is necessary here, complete with new color themes, 1:1 optimization improvements, as well as app data cloud saving for deleting and restoring the app, altogether helping curb the critical consensus that has resulted in a 2-star rating. Also - the swipe down options to delete page and add page should not require you to swipe right or left hold. You should only have to swipe down and hold to refresh, swiping down and then swiping left or right should not require a hold because it creates an extra step. In reducing steps-to-action an app helps facilitate trust in design via ease-of-use and fluidity. Please apply philosophy to other areas if and as necessary. 5.1.2 Review: An excellent app made better. The 3 new swipe down options are a welcome addition, albeit they could use a little more wiggle room to activate new tab and remove tab functions. My only other request is to eliminate the issue of random page refreshes (which in private browsing signs you out of websites being used) and to improve the fluidity of the app in general. Still worthy of 5 stars, 1/2 star reviews are unfounded and unnecessary. 5.1.1 Review: You wont get a better app for flash browsing, period. Anything less than 5 stars is unfounded. My only recommendation is to find a way to allow access to bookmarks, history, etc without having to open up a new page entirely.

Facebook keeps telling me to update my browser or use Facebook basic version ?? If I cant use Puffin to play my games there is no purpose in having it.

When I download something on the app, quit the app, and re-enter the app, it freezes then force quits. Please update.

Pretty awesome app, had it for more than 5 years but recently its not supporting some videos and has been giving me a "no network" message for 3 days, it just wont work. Please fix it.

I have been using the app for long and works perfectly but now not because while there is network it says "no network"

3/10/17 Updated my Puffin PAID Version first. It crashes instantly now. I did not update the free version... it still works. The update affected my iPad mini 2 so I did not update either versions on my iPhone 6s. Tried many times but app still will not open. Please fix.

Where to begin.. So I have had this app for years, and I used to like it a lot! Now, things seldom work well at all. I like it because it is more like a desktop browser than a mobile "lite" version. I use it mostly for Facebook and that is where my issues are. It used to be you could only scroll up and down OR left and right at once. Now you can do both, and it is super annoying! Now, the ad bar that appears on the right side of the Facebook page has decided to uproot itself after scrolling down a bit and it now covers the newsfeed and scrolls down the page as you scroll. It now also says to use a lite version or update the browser, so there is something wrong there. Ready to move on for sure!!

What happened its not networking

Almost perfect, if only there was an ad blocker, I wouldnt use anything else...

Can play videos and do everything all the other browsers cant. Extremely fast!!!

This app used to be great but for the past few months every time I try to open it the app immediately crashes.

This used to be a great browser but since its recent upgrade, it no longer stays logged in to sites when I return to them, forcing me to log in again each time. Ive switched to Chrome.

This new redesign has made puffin browser look like every other generic browser in the app store. they’ve removed the beautiful options for themes and colours as well as a number of other great features...

Why do they remove it? Its such a stupid decision

A feature of pro version states it is not sponsored by ads, yet I see the damn buzzfeed ads that are wicked annoying. If you arent being sponsored by them, why are they there? Just for fun? As a joke? I do not take kindly to the notion that my money is a joke.

Looks like its no longer maintained. I think its time to find another solution.

Just bought the pro to say thanks to developers
