User Reviews

Users praise Text Browser as a fast, data-safe reader that hides graphics and ads for distraction-free article reading, especially on spotty networks. The optional image-on-demand feature and data savings make it ideal for travel or data-limited browsing. It’s lightweight and simple, focusing on reading tasks. However, it isn’t perfectly text-only in practice, lacks features like tabs and bookmarks, and isn’t reliable for login-heavy sites (cookie-dependent services). For some pages and sites, images may appear, and compatibility can vary.

Pros

Text-only reading mode with graphics and ads suppressed for distraction-free, fast article reading.
Significant data savings and faster browsing, especially on limited or roaming connections.
On-demand image loading option to view full pages when needed.
Useful for low-bandwidth environments and travel; lightweight, focused reading experience.
Fills a niche on iOS by offering a simple, fast reading experience with minimal distractions.

Cons

Not truly text-only in practice; images can still appear on some pages despite text mode.
Lacks advanced browser features and customization (no tabbed browsing, no bookmarks/folders, limited styling options).
Not ideal for login-heavy or cookie-dependent sites (e.g., Facebook, PayPal) and may have issues with some services.
Occasional inconsistencies in behavior (images blocking can be imperfect) and limited site compatibility.

Recent reviews

Cannot reach settings. Any attempt to do so, exits the app. No bookmarks are retained anymore. Used to be the go-to app for simple text browsing.

While backpacking I wanted a browser that could work with even the most unreliable of connections. At the top of a mountain I found 1 bar of lte from a town far down the valley below. This browser let me avoid downloading images so I could navigate to read the news without it taking forever because of ads and images trying to load. The only app of its kind. Some search engines no longer work with it (google), but that’s ok.
