Not bad but not that great either
SaturdayBronco
I like the dimming but sometimes it's too hard to find items on a page with how it dims almost everything. The browser itself feels slow but it's too new so I can't judge based on older and more refined browser apps like chrome or ff. My major gripe with it is that the search engine it uses doesn't delete the recent typed in searches when you press the "x" to remove it. Other than that it's fine as a browser.
It’s missing the one key feature

You can’t change the default playback quality, so once again those of us on iOS are stuck sucking data on mobile. Dim, sure...but playback settings like on desktop...nope
The best workaround for an iOS Night Mode
sdmf022
Browsing white webpages at night can really strain sensitive eyes. Even with Apple’s “Night Shift” feature on. Short of messing with accessibility settings for a dimmer screen, this browser is a decent workaround until Apple implements a true Night Mode functionality for iOS. It amazes me how such a simple yet widely-requested option hasn’t been available in nearly 12 iterations of iOS. Yet, this has been natively included on Android devices for quite some time. Oddly enough Apple allows the use of third party extensions that create the same effect for Safari on Mac, but not on iPhone. Furthermore, this app does not even support the iPhone X resolution standard for the current generation of iPhones.
This is the worse dark mode

This app is the worse ! I have installed it twice and it does not work and it does not change the screen brightness at all !
