Not keeping – VanillaSurf Review

Since all browsers are just an old version of safari running a different UI, I'm not going to comment on performance, because it's irrelevant. I downloaded this app to be able to download files from sites, specifically a podcast that my podcast app can't seem to find. I was disappointed to discover that the downloaded file is saved only within the browser, not that this is unexpected given Apple's walled garden. But then, while playing, when my phone would turn off the screen, playback would stop, making the ability to download media files largely useless. Oh, and those ads at the top of the screen were freaking annoying. This got 30 minutes of use and a delete. 2 stars is only because this can download files and base Safari and Chrome can't do that.
