## Review summary

Across multiple reviews, Dolphin Browser for iOS is repeatedly criticized for instability: it crashes on startup or won’t open, especially after iOS updates (notably iOS 14 and 16.3). Users report losing bookmarks and opened pages after updates. Many view the app as abandoned with little to no fixes from the developer, resulting in a deteriorating, unreliable experience and suggesting the app is effectively unusable on current iOS versions.

### Cons

- Crashes on launch / immediately exits upon opening
- Cannot open or load after iOS updates (e.g., iOS 14, iOS 16.3)
- Bookmark/history data loss after updates
- Developer support appears to have ceased or not actively fixing issues
- Reduced reliability over years; app effectively unusable on current iOS versions
