Alook Browser - 8x Speed Reviews

by Signqtured

I personally think this is a terrible browser since it freezes all the time and it is incredibly slow.
I have stayed up for many hours trying to open a simple website and it either freezing or not working at all. Please make this browser usable since it barely even works. Overall 3/5

Pages becomes totally dark (no images or words) when turn off the night mode after long time using under dark mode, though the search bar and menu bar are white. Have to refresh pages and light mode would then be turned on.

Device: iPhone 7 Plus
System: iOS 12.1.1

Video wouldn’t play when the phone is locked. The control panel is not showed on the screen.
There must be something wrong with the background play function

Okay, this Website appears to be working properly, now.
If this was a change to ALook, then thank you.
If this was due to something entirely different, then I apologize.

Been using your Web browser, almost exclusively for over a year, now, on my over 4-1/2-year old iPad Pro now running iPadOS 14.4.4 and on my 9-year old iPad 2nd gen.
This Web browser has been working fantastic on both devices.
I have been recommending this Web browser to many for all of this time.

So, I am re-instating my 5-star approval/review rating.
I will continue to recommend your very well done Web browser to all older AND newer iPad users.

I hated to have to abandon this Web browser as it works so well on both very old and newest devices.

You have been doing a great job on keeping this Web browser up to date and working well.

I have had no other issues or complaints, other than the previous issue.

Again, Most Respectfully.

Be Well...Stay Well!

Yes, it may be a paid browser, but OH. MY. GOSH. it runs flawlessly and really fast, this absolutely destroys safari and every other browser i’ve used, I also love how you can have custom settings so you can do the most with your browser, it has built in “extensions” like turning any page to dark mode. IF YOURE CONSIDERING BUYING THIS DO IT, NO HESITATION. DO IT. YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED, THIS BROWSER OUTPERFORMS ITS PRICE POINT.

I use Alook for all of my video viewing. It’s also MUCH more feature rich than all of the other browsers available for iOS (including Safari). That being said, I’d LOVE to have it be my default browser. Please update this browser to allow me to set it as my default browser. Thanks!

The audio only feature is broken in latest. When switching between apps the audio for a video playing in the current tab cuts out and only resumes when the Alook is being used again.

Devs please fix. Thx

I've tried many browsers from Safari to Chrome, Firefox, even Berry. Alook is the best by far and the easiest to use. Love the dark mode and the reader option. Only suggestion I would make is a better looking app icon or maybe customization. Other than that it's great!

** Update. They do have the option to customize app icon. AlookBrowser is awesome!

Wow, thanks an investment in a ADC Dev. that paid off; that's all I ask is that AlookBrowser be refined, genuinely innovative, not a knock off of some other app and refined and, you get it.

Part 2. I will want to see also, pay once w/o subscriptions and consistent regard for your actual clients: me/ us. Go the way of others and reap what they are going to soon see. iOS as well. :(

I love it because first of all you can play something and watch something at the same time isn’t that cool! Second of all you don’t have to get your phone/iPad to watch and play at the same time. Last but not least you can make it BIGGER IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO BETTER!!!

To the guy about asking about the tab switch.

No, I think it’s more Convenient if it’s a swipe from the right to left or left to right from the screen. I just hate scrolling up or down to switch tab. I like to know where I’m at when reading article, and then doin research at the same time switching tab.

AlookBrowser brings me a fantastic browser experience with plenty of customizations involved.
Btw, is there any plan of adding the Recently Closed Tabs to instantly restore the tabs I closed in mistake as Safari, or I just failed to figure out how I can do it.
Also the Pirate button in Japanese shows the ブラウジングホ quite out of the left-bottom screen.

by ChargerEcon

This is a fantastic app and I use it as my main browser on both iPhone and iPad.

A couple suggestions:

1) Automatic night mode.
It’d be great if AlookBrowser would automatically open pages in night mode... at night and then return to normal mode... during the day. If I could set it to turn on/off at times of my choosing, that would be fantastic.

2) The “floating video” thing is both amazing and annoying. Anyone who has used it knows when it’s amazing and why. But it’s annoying when I DO NOT want to watch the video and have to constantly close out of the window.

One of the best web browsers in AppStore. But, the lack of one feature makes it less comfortable. That is - ad blocking rules are not editable, and not quite flexible to be able to apply a rule of a web page to the whole domain.

by Gdangdan

Also, can we have a pinch gesture to trigger tab switch view? like what in Safari.
It would be more convenient if buttons in hamburger menu are shown in one page instead of two, at least on iPad.

In ipad pro 4th genration video in background playback is not working when i go home screen video is playing stop.
Please fix this

by BAR112

It beats Safari in terms of ad-blocking and speed. I use it for online ordering. One word of caution: they are a Chinese company and I cannot find any info about them—why so secretive? I am trusting but please, proceed with caution.

I rarely write reviews or pay for internet browsing mobile apps, this one is worth every penny. I wish Safari would have some of these features. It's great For download it can unzip also zip files, i hate download apps that require a separate app just to unzip a file. It's easy to download files, awesome to watch media off or listen, auto Translate web pages, etc. BUY AlookBrowser IT'S WORTH IT.

by Buddyofive

I love this Browser it’s super fast and can multitask like it’s nothing, the only problem i’m having though is i’m trying to play music in the background on YT but i can’t get it to auto play the next song. I’ve tried to see if there was anything in the settings but there wasn’t and i do have my auto play on but still can’t get it to work :(.

for such a cheap price, I can’t stress enough HOW THIS IS THE BEST APP IVE EVER PURCHASED. I can’t believe it only costs 1$, and yet there are so many features that should already be on safari (but aren’t) and AlookBrowser has! I’m recommending AlookBrowser to everyone I know
