---------------------------------------
Browse the web free from clutter! The Full Screen Web Browser from SOPODS is a true full-screen web browser available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This app gives you up to 40% of your screen's real estate back by hiding the buttons, address and even the status bar when you don't need them. Now you can take full advantage of the ample screen on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
How does it work? Simple! Give your iPhone or iPod Touch a shake to bring the address bar and buttons into view, then enter a URL and the control bars will slide out of the way for a true full-screen experience. Surf the web exactly like you do in Safari: tap on links, swipe to scroll, double-tap or even pinch and spread your fingers to zoom in or out.

Full screen web browsing
- 25% more viewable area than Safari in portrait mode
- Almost 40% more viewable area than Safari in landscape mode!
- Same web browsing experience as Safari on the iPhone: tap links, scrolling, zooming, etc.
- Back and forward buttons for easy navigation through your session history
Bookmarks
Bookmark your favorite webpages for easier navigation. Add, delete, reorder and edit bookmarks just like in Safari. However, unlike Safari, Full Screen even allows you to edit the page address while you are creating the bookmark (which makes it easy to add handy JavaScript bookmarklets). The default bookmarks include a link to our Safari bookmarklet instructions. Use it to send any page you're viewing in Safari to Full Screen Web Browser.
Horizontal/Landscape support
Horizontal mode is fully supported. Rotate your device right or left for larger and easier to read text and larger images. The address and button bars are also available when your device is rotated—just give it a shake!
Private web browsing
Full Screen does not save any history of your activity on the web between sessions. Recent activity is only used for the "back" and "forward" actions. Simply tap the home button and your browsing history is gone.
Homepage
Have your favorite page load when Full Screen first launches. This is easily set by tapping the action button and then the "Set as Home Page" button while you are on the page. The homepage address can also be set in the iPhone Settings app.
Complete Safari Integration
- Send any web page to Safari whenever you like by tapping the action button and then "Open in Safari"
- Send any web page back to Full Screen from Safari using our custom bookmarklet (instructions on our web site).
Send a Link
Email anyone a link to a web page by tapping the action button and then "Email Link".
We have many new and exciting features planned based on the wonderful feedback that we've received. Check us out at SOPODS.com for more info.

OK.. but..
Jeannie Jones
It does not really open a new link in same window like they said. Try it can't open google reader's new link.
Shake is annoying

Please update so we don't have to shake. Maybe a double tap in the corner. I'm getting arthritis
Not happy with the app
vederman
Admittedly I am not a very high tech guy, but I am not a novice either. I found the idea of this app very appealing, but it's functioning is not. Shaking your touch is a bit silly. It is a touch not a shake, and you have to give it a good shake for it to work. Then the screen reverts within a couple of seconds. I never was able to get it to work with Safari which pretty much renders the app useless. Waste of a buck as far as I am concerned.
Great but needs update
Amanda Palmer
It's great but you can't save pictures, you only can see a site at time and it doesn't have security password. And i read that the developer is getting our information... Too bad for a great concept
Good start with some recommendations

Decent full screen browser but a few things to consider: 1.) Remove "shake" feature. Feels akward and not natural. Double tapping the top portion of the browser to bring up the address bar would be more practical. Or even better: holding down your finger anywhere on the screen that's not linked! Fast access and very simple. 2.) Bookmarks? Enough said. :) 3.) Multi-Tabs + Quick Launch (by holding down a link to open in a new tab.) Also, add quick access to multi-tabs by double tapping bottom right corner. 4.) Cache previous pages and easy BACK navigation by double tapping bottom left corner of screen to go back to the previous page. Very intuitive.
