To be discontinued, thanks apple.. Has all the features I want and nothing I didn’t. Needed a little love on the stability side, froze more than it should but i question whether that’s a puffin issue or an iOS issue... Puffin has the simple stuff like the arrow on the right of the browser to return to the top of the page that is just not in any others. And having ALL the options at the top where they belong... why do no other browsers I’ve tried do it that way. I’ve tried Firefox, Aloha, DuckDuckGo, dolphin, opera, and probably a few others but puffin is my favorite. Sadly I’m leaving because of the stability, I cannot just stick it out until it’s resolved because apple isn’t letting browsers use any system other than what safari uses behind the scenes so puffin will likely fade away soon. That’s why all the others seem like re-skinned safari browsers....

SO SAD 😭. I have used this SO much and it’s a FANTASTIC app! I always used it to go to websites and play games on my phone that I could usually only do on my computer. They announced recently however that they are shutting down in early October because aPpLe sees them as competition and won’t let them update any more! I’m really sad about this. HOWEVER! I know of a way that may work! If you search up Panda Helper, and download it, (by the way you have to search it up in your browser it is NOT available in the App Store) you can find Puffin as well as many other apps and download it! 😁

Great, but laggy... Puffin is great, it lets you play games without having adobe flash player, so why am I rating this 2 stars? There is MAJOR lag, I keep on refreshing and it still won't work. So it makes me go to settings and fix the network, even though nothing is wrong with it. Once I go to a game, it freezes. I'm not okay with this, I use this app almost every day, but I need to put my foot down. The lag is enough, I'm getting very sick of it and I'm starting to use my computer more often. The only think I suggest you should fix is the lag. Nothing else. The updates keep getting worse and worse, and I think you should actually start fixing the app instead of making it worse, but the rest is PERFECT. Thanks for making this app.

This browser ruined me!. I started using Puffin because I wanted to access Flash games on my iPad. I'm no Flash fan by any means and I look forward to it becoming unnecessary but for now there are still a few things that just can't be done without it, many games being the one for me. I tried several different browsers before I settled on Puffin as being the best I found for using Flash on iOS. When I started using it I had no idea just how fast it actually was. But I began noticing how impatient I had become trying to do anything with any other browser. I usually used Chrome, Firefox or Opera (and Safari when needed) and saw that I was beginning to click several times on the same link or button to try to get something to happen. Eventually I found myself cursing out loud at my iPad every time I had to use any browser besides Puffin. Now Puffin is my go to and I rarely use the others. I still use them when I need particular features but find myself doing so less and less and expect that eventually I'll rarely use anything but Puffin on my iPad. I only wish it was available on my iMac. Maybe it's not the perfect browser for everyone and if so I suggest you not use it for too long or you may find it impossible to go back to what you had been using before.

The Best of the Best. I have been using Puffin Browser for roughly 2 years now. (this September of 2019 would mark the second year). This web browser app is by far the best. It’s speed compared to other browsers like Safari, Google Chrome, and other web apps is instantaneous. Puffin is no joke, and when they say fast speeds, they literally mean it. Everything that is listed under their “features” is true and accurate. There are statistics that PROVE Puffin is the superior web browser app and it shows through this genius application. Puffin Browser is in a class of its own, and I’m a proud Puffin user. 10/10 would highly recommend. Sad to see you go 😞 I’ll miss you ❤️❤️❤️

Best Browser For iOS, Period!. This is THE best browser for iOS. It is the ONLY one I use. I just discovered that they haven’t updated for the new iOS softwares in so long because Apple has not allowed them to — as per the Puffin team, because they see them and their BETTER BROWSER SERVICE as a competitor/threat, and that as a result of that inability to update, the Puffin team feel they have no option but to make their browser unavailable before it becomes obsolete under newer and newer iOS softwares. It will be gone on July 1st. I am devastated and incredibly angry with Apple. If they see Puffin as a threat, they should IMPROVE SAFARI, one of the WORST browsers for iOS. If Safari was as good as Puffin I’d be glad to use it. But instead of actually compete, Apple is choosing to betray and purposely hurt their customers and take away their browser choices. Puffin: fantastic service. Apple: worthless, shameful company.

Apple forcing out Puffin? Best browser in store!. According to the developer apple continues to refuse to allow them to update, essentially forcing out this browser. It has the best performance of any browser due to its lightning speed, ability to access desktop sites, and uses flash drive for easy streaming. Apple cannot compete with it and so has refused to allow it to develop on the App Store. The developer is shutting it down July 2019 because of this. Very unprofessional of Apple. Correct this if you want to continue supporting creative apps and offering customers what they want.

Great App - Apple is killing something special. Puffin is a very useful app; I mainly use for an RPG game when I need to help someone on the move, but once in a while I need it for sites I can’t seem to get to any other way. They have been very reliable; no long lasting technical issues or random bugs disrupting my use. When I read Apple won’t let them update, thus keeping them from working on iOS devices, I was very disappointed. This is why I don’t like Monopolies (or just big corporations in general); they can’t stand competition, so they just sabotage potential competitors so they don’t have to make themselves better. Anyway, I am glad Puffin alerted it’s users to give us time to figure out what to do. A gem of an App! Puffin, you will be missed.

Best Mobile Browser But One Problem. I love everything about this browser and wish I could rate it 5 stars, however it won’t save my progress on flash games. Here is a message from one of the games “Your game progress is normally saved somewhere on your computer not the website you’re playing on. If your saved games are missing it means your web browser or other software has deleted your progress! Be careful you don’t delete your cookies, and make sure NONE of your browsers delete cookies immediately when closing.” I don’t think it’s the game because I’ve accessed saved games from a windows device. PLEASE include an option to save cookies so I don’t have to restart every time! (╥_╥)

Puffin on iOS will be missed. I have been using the Puffin browser for several years to access desktop versions of websites on my iPhone. I have tried MANY other browsers, and Puffin is the only one that reliably and consistently loads the desktop version of a website when I ask it to. The global setting to request desktop versions is great, and actually works. Most other browsers, including Safari, may attempt to load the desktop version to some success, but invariably they fail to either access at all or to hold access to the desktop site. Puffin finds the desktop version and stays with it.

Greatest flash Browser!! So sad to see it go.. I've used puffin browser for so long, that I don't even remember when I started using it. When I was younger, I played a flash game on our family desktop. It was really slow with flash . At school someone was showing off playing the game on their iPad. I was so intrigued. I immediately started playing my flash game on the browser. Going everywhere with a basis ally portable computer on my iPad was great! Puffin really was a great app that made me really happy as a child. I'm really going to miss puffin on my iPad and iPhone. Thank you cloud Mesa. Thank you.

Shame on Apple. This app was amazing. I love it, period. So quick and reliable. So many features. The app was more than any other browser could dream of becoming. It was super easy to control and the browser specific features blew my mind. Shame on Apple for removing such an amazing app. Shame on Apple for playing unfairly in this market competition. Safari is a horrible, plain browser. Nobody that I know uses it. Puffin on the other hand, is simple yet elegant and has many features, as mentioned previously. I’ll never forget that Puffin. At least we still have the stickers to remember..

The perfect browser. I love the Puffin browser, so much so that I purchased the full version because it was honestly a perfect browser. I didn’t have to worry about it not being compatible with the sites I was visiting and also knew I could rely on it when I needed a fully functioning desktop version of a site I was on. I’m a student and I never had any issues when I needed to go to desktop version on a school site, which are finicky on their own to begin with. I am heartbroken that Puffin will be discontinued on IOS because I love this browser. It is reliable and incredibly well designed and easy to use. I wish apple would collaborate with the Puffin developers to keep this app available to IOS consumers :(

Sorry to see it go. I never used Puffin heavily (since my inability to properly customize my iPhone settings meant most websites auto-opened in other browsers) but it worked great for the things I used it for - and these were some of my favorite sites. Yes, it had bugs, but nothing that bothered me significantly. I liked being able to stick to desktop sites. Thanks for all the years of allowing me to access my stuff ‘privately’ on my phone while I was at work. There don’t really appear to be any alternatives, especially for flash, that have been updated any time within the last few years. Obviously this was a niche product, but a well-loved one. Wishing all the best for CloudMosa/Puffin.

Favorite Mobile Web Browser.... Why the shutdown?. This was my favorite free web browser on the App Store. I don’t know the whole story behind their statement that development ceased but apparently “Apple saw Puffin as a rival and unfairly stopped [them] from releasing updates through App Store Policies.” What does that even mean? Apple allows other companies to update their own web browsers on the App Store just fine, why would Puffin be singled out as the sole rival to one of the largest technological giants on the face of the Earth? Regardless, I’m very disappointed to see it shut it down. I’m sure plenty of people would love to see this app saved on the IOS platform. Is there anything we can do?

Apple can be a jerk. This is one of the best browsing apps i’ve used for getting the full experience with sites, as being on mobile seems like being treated like a kid. As if you can’t handle searching without help or can’t process more than a few pieces of information at a time. I want the full functionality of the device i paid way too much for, and access to the internet i pay way too much for, and want to do the things that others can that Apple boasts about being better than! What i’m saying is, thank you. I will be getting this app again when i switch to a better phone for considerably less money.

Why tho. I’m terribly sorry that puffin has to leave the App Store but I have one thing to ask and it’s mostly to apple but if apple has basically forced you to leave the platform then why can you still download other web browsers? And If I’m just being dumb tell me Thank you for possibly listening to me a just providing such amazing web browser and I say this on behalf of not just me but hopefully everyone that ever used this app Thank you. We hope that it doesn’t happen again on the play store and I know you’ll find a way to overcome it next time. We all appreciate the service that you provided for us for free I might add and I just wanna say....we love you and as long as you’re gone the best browser on all apple products is gone. We’ll miss you but we understand. Farewell, just a fan

Love this browser - sad to see it go for iOS users. I use this app when I need to complete tasks that I can normally only do on a desktop browser and usually for my small business. It helps me run my website on the go when I don’t have my laptop with me - since there are many things I can’t do from mobile chrome or safari. Today I received a notice that it will be discontinued for iOS users and I’m very disappointed. It has been a fantastic resource for me - very fast and reliable. I’m not sure what I’ll do without it. Thank you to the developers for great use I’ve gotten out of it over the years!

Sad to see you go.. When I first received my iPhone and iPad nearly 2 years ago, I found it pure madness that Apple products still did not support Flash. I had searched through various browsers, but none seemed to support it either. The few that did were clunky, cost money, and half baked. When I had downloaded Puffin, I was tremendously pleased. Using the browser was intuitive. I did not have to switch between functions to enable flash. I could browse freely and do what wanted without having to fight an application. Now over the last year, Puffin has had issues and hiccups. It no longer functioned on my iPad, and even more recently we’ve been advised they are closing service to Apple products. It’s a shame when competition can do far superior to an existing system and said systems only response is to block progress of competition. That’s rather backwards one would think. Would it not be better to improve so powerfully that the competition looks foolish in comparison? That’s sadly a rare case. To all the staff at Puffin and those whom made it the wonderful tool it is, thank you. Thank you for all your hard work, your wonderful design, and your having fought this hard this long. We are sad to see you go, but ever grateful for the time you made things so much easier.

Good but... I, personally, have been using Puffin Web Browser for a few years now, and I believe it works generally well. There are some glitches and lags every now and then, which makes me worried about some of the things that are happening on this app. It is rather slow for me, and it doesn’t save the data on my tabs that I use; as I have to do the same thing over and over again on an online website on Puffin, making it rather boring. Against the negative, it is good because it is free, saving people time. People shouldn’t expect so much from an app, to be honest. Though it does require flash, it is generally an okay app to use.

Imagine being a monopolist company like apple.. I have used this app for 5+ years, it is unfortunate to hear about the unfair and unjust expressions of a monopolizing company that is destroying the business of another app to make their own money and their own profits. I am deeply disappointed in this happening, thank you puffin for being a great app that provided my with all of my needs. Apple needs to learn that we are past monopolizing companies, they are becoming a money hungry company that will do as they please without realizing the consequences of their actions, bringing down anyone in their path and not apologizing for it. Thanks apple. .____.

Shame to see it leave. This app has been incredibly useful. It has every capability of all the most popular browsers, plus so many more features - and it’s totally free. It’s an app I’ve recommended to friends in the past and would be glad to do so again. I’m really sad to see it go and I wish Apple would not be so biased on who can do what with their apps, especially when they force developers to pay to even host their apps. Their system is insanely terrible and the fact that they ban certain devs/apps from updating is just absurdly cruel. Unfortunately there’s no good place to criticize Apple like you can to all their hosted apps. I would love for the developer to keep this up if they can, but I understand it is nearly impossible to keep up-to-date without the ability to update their app. Thanks for the amazing app I used daily for years. Best wishes.

It’s great!. I love it, it’s a great app. I got it to play games on my phone that are only accessible through the computer, since I didn’t have one and really wanted to play those games. However, there is one problem that infuriates me to no end. This has only happened to me three times since I got the app (it’s been about 2 years) but very time it happens I get so mad. What happens is the app freezes, and then makes me return to the home page of my phone. When I open up the app again, the screen stays frozen until I close out of the app completely (swiping it up). This fixes the freezing problem, sure, but it also closes ALL of the tabs I have open. I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else, or if it’s just me, but I just wanted to let ya’ll know about this glitch. Over all, however, I do love this browser, and I will continue using it despite the small bugs.

Great app!. I used Puffin for a while now. It’s not my main browser but it definitely allows for greater browsing in certain cases. This browser provides a great alternative to Safari whilst allowing full desktop functionality as one would expect from a traditional computer interface. Puffin is a great app that can facilitate website interfaces that is sometimes lost with Safari experience. I have tried to use Safari for certain secure sites and also for filling out forms. It’s frustrating when one can only access functions that Safari limits like Adobe flash player (I know it’s old, but some graphics depend on it) with Puffin. Please continue to allow Puffin to develop the app.

Puffin is a wonderful browser for what Apple REFUSES to do for Safari. SHAME on Apple. This is why I REFUSE to own anything from them outside of my iPad. I bought my iPad to do school work on, and Apple's Safari has been TERRIBLE. Puffin is what has ran MOST of the thing I have needed. Apple's mentality of bullying program writers and inventors is disgusting. I am also a photographer and I can't use half of the Adobe products on my iPad with out having to pay for the things I get FREE on my laptop that runs windows, or my Samsung. I am disgusted with Apple's railroading us and removing the choice to use Puffin for what Apple REFUSES to update Safari to do instead. CloudMosa, your stuff is WONDERFUL. Please come out with something else to replace Puffin! You are a saint!

Please Don’t Remove. I know this is just one review and many have asked for this app not to go down. I’m not sure if the developers are reading this, but if they are, please don’t end this app. I know we still have the whole summer to use this app, but I just got my iPad Pro and I was excited to use this app as a desktop browser so I could make my iPad feel more like a computer. I would like to personally ask the developers to, even if they take the app off the AppStore, to please don’t end the service. This is too good of an app and ending it would only make apple win. The best thing to do would be to keep the service running, even without updates, so those who support the app can use it and prove apple wrong. I’ve used many apps in the past where apple has removed them and stopped the developers from updating them and they are still good apps even to this day! Developers, please don’t take away this app this is the best browser I’ve ever downloaded off the AppStore.

I have never seen better. This puffin web browser is awesome! It has all of the things a good browser has, and once you get the hang of all of the buttons, controls, etc., it works really great! The only thing I would change about this is that I think it would be better if there was a video recorder. There might be one in the Pro version, but I lack Money and storage at this time. Anyway, I just think it would be nice to have the ability of recording the sites a person plays on and possibly share the videos with friends or post them on the internet afterwards.

Puffin Was Great and now I hate Apple even more. It’s so sad to see Puffin go from the Apple App Store and I am furious that Apple has flexed their power to muscle out this wonderful app. This app has been a god send to me by allowing me to use java based programs on my phone through puffin browser. No other browser that I have found on the Apple App Store offers a feature like this which has greatly disappointed me. This is the last straw for me, I will no longer be purchasing anything from Apple in the future because of their senseless greed which forced this wonderful app to be discontinued on their phones. I bid you farewell wonderful Puffin, at least until my phone dies and I am able to replace it with one which supports your efforts.

One of, if not the best desktop browsers for iOS.. It has been extremely excellent to work with such a stellar app from a stellar visionary that this company bring where, so few dared to. By the hand of the need did such a calling came forth and gave iOS a new breath towards holding on a promise of more then just mobile but a true competitor or dare to say possibly a replacement for most use case scenario as laptop replacement, This browser along with a few other management apps did deliver that promise even if short lived. I thank each and every curator, coder, planer, and technician for developing and maintaining such a feat albeit adjacent to such as Apple the tech giant. Hear, hear to the future of all your endeavors be as successful and codified continually. Thanks again for all those whom worked over the years from your endearing effervescence, Will.

What a shame :(. This app was extremely useful and I just can't believe is going away... (For iOS users) I hate to see it leave this app has helped me more times than you think and it's going to be gone only July. The only thing I recommend if you love this app is buy the pro version which will give you a little more time if your and iOS user but if your any other device it works on... GG you've won this battle. This app was like any other browser BUT it had a lot more useful things that you could use to your advantage like your playing a game that's meant for computer and surprisingly it worked they also has this mouse function and that helped me ALOT they have things other browser don't have and it's just really sad. I wasn't really listening (sorry) but didn't you guys say it was apples fault or something like that sorry if I'm wrong. But if your reading this I want you to know your app was extremely useful and I used it all the time.

One of the best browsers out there for any smart device. So far the best browser I’ve ever used on any smart phone or tablet. I started using my phone more because it gave me a similar experience to my computer browsers in terms of both speed and general use. It has an easy to use and navigate tab system allowing you to open new tabs and either directly go to them or open them in the background, something I would always do on my computer to the point of opening too many tabs but would never do on any phone or tablet just because of the pain of navigating them or the having to constantly open new tabs go to the site I was on in another tab and then click the link I wanted on that new tab, which was a hassle and overall annoying. It also allowed me to run flash which is always a benefit. Overall a great app sad to see it going away.

Very Helpful, Very Sad to See it Go. For reasons I can’t remember I downloaded Puffin for my phone and iPad. While I used it for mainly flash games when I was bored because I have no PC it did become VERY useful one day when I was in class (High-school, still attending). We had to do an assignment on the computers, the assignment requiring flash, but not all of them worked. Puffin helped me complete that assignment, I was even able to help the other kids who couldn’t use the computers by telling them to download it. Even now I’m using it for an assignment on my phone. I’m very sad to see it go because I don’t know when I’ll need to do another assignment that’ll require me to use flash when I can’t use a computer, I won’t be able to browse Newgrounds animation and games anymore and this 9 year-old app will no longer exist. RIP Puffin, the greatest browser to ever exist.

Love this browser...sad to see it go. I homeschool my two kids and use K12 for their curriculum. After trying Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, I came across Puffin. It was the only browser where all the pages loaded correctly and had no issue running flash. It is very difficult to teach when a website keeps crashing. I really am distraught about the browser going away. I am not sure what I will do when the school semester resumes in September. Hopefully, Apple and the developers at Puffin will be able to find a way to move forward. I really would hate to see this browser go because it will make things very difficult in September.

Buggy. Although puffin is the best browser i have seen for flash games on the ipad it is definitely buggy this past month or so. There must have been an update and since the i have had all sorts of problems with it. First of all some new pop up when you try to play yoworld on facebook, it says true, under that leave and under that stay on this page. It's incredibly annoying to have to click on that every single time i try to do anything on the game. Worse yet it started freezing constantly whch means constantly refreshing and having to click on that pop up again and again. I keep getting nothing but a white screen, the log off button won't fully open without refreshing several times. I've deleted the browser and reloaded it a few times to no avail. Up to 4-6 weeks ago I'd have given it 5 stars but not until they fix this bug. I don't play any other facebook games so don't know if there are problems with other games. These issues seem to be unique to facebook. However like i said so far i haven't been able to find another browser that really works for flash games on the ipad.

I will never forget you.. You were the best of the best when it came to supporting flash on iOS. I don’t understand Apple’s reasoning. If they see you as a rival, then why don’t they go after Chrome? I’ve never used Safari once in my entire life. But I use Chrome for normal stuff and I used this app for flash. The rumors about flash crashing the iPad have never happened to me. It has been so smooth for the past 4 1/2 months I’ve been using this site. I hated having to get my computer out just to play a flash game; I guess Apple has to give me something to hate again. I wish I used Puffin years and years before. Best wishes to CloudMosa, Inc.

When all others failed, Puffin got it done. Bottom line for me, there are a few websites I use for work and for some reason puffin (is) the only browser on iOS that will work. I’m not an expert on why, can only say that safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc; tried them all and on a very small number of important websites, Puffin was the only one that would get the job done. Extremely sad, in some ways even feeling a bit frantic knowing I will no longer have a browser that will support my work. Not sure at this point what my solution will be. Might be I will finally make the shift to a diff phone ... another venture that makes me nervous as I’ve used Apple since the iPhone 4.

Apple is going down!. I originally had the free version and liked it so much I wanted to invest in the developer so I bought the Paid version. This is by far the best browser. Too bad Apple is afraid of the competition they have to shut it down....Apple is making crap products and shouldn’t blame developers doing great things! I am working away from Apple products because of their shady way of doing business, like taking a wonderful app like this away. Thank you for the years I was able to utilize Puffin! There is no other that compares to what you offer. Sad day it will be when you are gone.

Please don’t remove this app.... This is my goto app for my daughter’s schoolwork because a lot of her assigned content still uses flash content. This browser is the way we access that content on our iPad on the go. I realize flash is a relic, but it’s still the way her schoolwork is formatted a good portion of the time. Please don’t remove this app from the App Store. I’m fine with it not being updated, but removing it completely will put a dead stop on how we access the internet on the iPad. This is the absolute best app we found for accessing flash content, and we’ll more than miss it...

Sad About Shutdown. I started using this browser for the fact that it had flash unlike Safari. I was even thinking about switching to only puffin for certain things because of the ease of use and how it makes filling out things easier along with the ability to play flash games. Apple really needs to relax there is honestly no reason to sabotage another company/app because in the end what is Apple really gaining. To be honest Safari is lacking in many areas along with iPhones iOS themselves. With that being said I personally prefer Puffin and Chrome and only use Safari because it is usually convenient.

A Must Have. I frequently use used this app on middle school since many of my textbooks were online and it was simply easier and more intuitive to access them from there. They require flash, so I could really only use Puffin Browser to get to them. Now, my younger sister and brother are in middle school and use the same app to get to the same textbooks as I did. Since textbooks aren’t really supposed to leave our school, it is going to be very difficult for them to do their homework. Please don’t take the app down, and instead just stop releasing updates. The version now is incredible and does far more than the minimum! If you do take it down though; thank you for an amazing app.

Devastating that Apple won’t allow Puffin to operate on iOS. I’m such a longtime user of Puffin on iOS and am devastated to here that Apple won’t allow any Puffin updates and therefore is forcing a shutdown of Puffin due to competing interests. There is nothing like Puffin out there to log in on iPhone as a desktop and do serious business. Mobile browsing doesn’t work fully when it comes to doing all online banking business or in real estate and apartment search business. Mobile browsing is extremely limited still at this point in 2019. RIP Puffin. Too bad you couldn’t do a lawsuit on this forced shutdown. Our POTUS sure would. Seems very unAmerican of Apple!

Amazing App- Furious about its Fate. I have used Puffin Browser on my iPhone for a very long time and it has followed through every device upgrade. It easily enabled cookies (took me awhile to figure out how to do so on Safari) and allowed me to easily access the desktop site- destroying many issues that Safari gave me on several sites. I use Safari much more than I use Puffin, but for some sites, Safari does NOT suffice. I am a college student. I don’t need a ton of bugs and malfunctions with college websites just because Safari does not come equipped with the ability to switch to the desktop version of a site. I had to fill out a very important application the other day and tried to do so on Safari, but had to swap due the “Save” and “Submit” buttons vanishing- I had to remember everything that I had typed and type it all up again as a result. I am extremely displeased with this unjust removal of a good app. Thanks a lot. I now have to find a decent app that has the same abilities as Puffin so that i can complete important tasks or even just play a game and be able to see the whole screen. I’m going to miss that adorable European bird icon- puffins are very incredible creatures. I hope that the App Store people will retract their decision and work with the app developers, because the app was amazing.

Grateful and dumbfounded. I cannot believe that Apple is blocking this app for people that want to have flash content on their iPads or other IOS devices! This has been a great pleasure for me to use for the one Facebook game I play that needs flash...since Apple is too good to allow it on their devices...such a backward concept. I am sad that you are closing it down. What am I going to do now! With Puffin I can take my iPad anywhere and have access to my game whenever I want, since it is easier (and lighter) than carrying a laptop everywhere. Shame on you Apple. You are cheating and short-changing millions of users, and for what, exactly?

Make this your second browser.. So many sites don't offer mobile users full options even when they attempt to view advanced features or "full sites" on mobile (if you're lucky enough to even be using a site that has those and remembers you want them when you open another page on the site). Puffin browser is the perfect response to this stupid trend of inaccessibility. It tells sites "No, just treat this exactly as a PC and let me actually use all the features of your site." When something doesn't work in your main browser, go to Puffin as your trusy number two.

This version crashes with iOS 9.1. Puffin Free used to be a great browsing experience on the iPad since it can emulate a desktop browser. However, since I've updated both the browser app and iOS, Puffin Free freezes frequently. It really needs an update to address the freezing issue, can hardly scroll down a page without a freeze and needing to re-start the app. Don't know what you did to update it for iOS 9, but it wasn't enough. ETA: Reloads pages constantly, hard to use it to read any sites with large paragraphs of text because every time an ad or takeover or whatever loads in the background, the entire page reloads. One page can load 20 times and you still can't see what you're trying to read on that page. i am about ready to delete this app. If any other browser had a setting to show the desktop site by default instead of selecting it each time, this app would be gone from my iPad. ETA: I have had issues with the Puffin Free browser, but the developers have been very responsive to emails. I will really miss the browser and wish it were not being discontinued. No other iOS browser will open in desktop mode, a setting that Safari should have. RIP, Puffin.

Please don't close this App on iOS. Just came to know about the extremely sad and disappointing news that you're closing this app on iOS. Please don't do so. I have been using this app for more than 5 years now and I cannot imagine an iOS device (be it my iPhone or iPad) without this app. This App has always given me desktop class functionality on iOS and so much more. Even the updated Safari on iOS 13 can't compete with this App. I literally beg the developers not to close this App on iOS. And kudos to the whole team for giving such a great app on a iOS. Much love to the whole team.

Pretty helpful except for one problem. I have been using puffin for around one to two years. Don’t get me wrong, puffin is a great browser for games that require flash, and is incredibly fast for gaming and so on. My only concern is that every month or so I get a notification on my screen saying that I need flash and it gives me a fee requiring me to pay $3.50 or so per month to enable flash. Because of this problem I’ve had to uninstall puffin multiple times. I assure you to download this app as it is a useful app, but if it asks you to spend any amount of money for flash or any other sort of error, just uninstall the app and reinstall it again. I hope this helped you and I recommend this app to all users 😄

Great app but doesn’t play Flash audio.. This is a pretty good app as far as I know. I only use it to read Homestuck because my computer is broken, and I needed something to be able to run Flash content. This app was the perfect choice. Not only is it able to run Flash content, but there’s also a game pad and other stuff to make the Flash content fully functional. The only down-side I have is it doesn’t play Flash audio. I’ve experienced this while reading Homestuck the past few days. There are some panels where audio is SUPPOSED to play, but the browser doesn’t play any sound, which makes the experience much less enjoyable. Fix this and I’ll give the app a five star rating. Kudos!

Puffin must stay. This app although buggy on a rare occasion has been a savior for me when it has come to doing things on my phone requiring desktop function or flash which Apple to this day doesn’t support. I’ve been using it for probably more than 7 years and it’s come through so many times for me. I’ve looked into other browsers and none have the type of functionality puffin does. It has been my go to second browser and has become a NECESSITY. I hope that there is some kind of turnaround against this, it would be a shame to see it go. Thank you guys for all of your hard work.

The Flash feature is BUGGY. Every time I use the adobe flash feature on Puffin Browser, I always know that it's going to either crash or freeze when I first start using it. When I reload the page it's fine it starts working properly but literally EVERYTIME I use it, it's going to seem fine, but about 10 minutes in and it will crash and I'll have to reload the page for it to start working properly without crashing. Normally this wouldn't be problem, but when I'm playing a online MMO flash game and it crashes before I save my progress, it really makes me rage at my phone. Normally I'd just forget this app and download another app with the adobe flash feature on it, but there isn't one to my knowledge. So I'm stuck with browser, where when I do something that involves adobe flash and cause it to lag and then freeze up. It's a real pain to deal with because I use this app to play flash games on a cool website, but I always expect it to crash, because it does. Oh btw It's a good browser when your not using the adobe flash feature on it, but I'd recommend Google Chrome if you want a really fast browser.

This app brought life back in my iPad mini 1st gen. I can't thank the devs enough this app has make my old iPad have more purposes now. Before I got this app safari was the only browser and it was so slow. Thank you for this wonderful app.

Very Nice but Some Problems. It’s really good it lets me play games I can’t on ipad but sometimes it freezes and then the website doesn’t load.

Best way for a good night. I have to be honest with myself that this was the best time of year for my life and it is the most beautiful day ever i have been able in the last two years and it was the most amazing time i had ever been in thank you puffin

Unfair Apple is denying this App support. Puffin: This app is the only bridge we gamers have between iOS and PC!!! And thanks to Apple denying them rights to update their app (discrimination) we are about to lose Puffin. Its been a joy to use and the only link I had available to play games like Forge of Empires (full version not iOS short version) in PC format on my mobile device. The only app Ive ever given 5 stars to because its one of a kind. Apple: Obviously I still use your browser Safari. This app was never a substitute. Never a rival. But it served a purpose. Now that you discriminate by allowing other apps the ability to update and not this one you have killed it. And iOS has never offered a bridge to desktop platforms. So what am I supposed to do now? Put down my Apple mobile and get on my Microsoft desktop! What have you achieved? Nothing!! Essentially by shutting down Puffin I will put my mobile away and return to my desktop for my gaming needs. And shame on you Apple for discrimination!!

ITS THE BEST. I love this app! It’s like ur on an compouter and you can do loads of things on those! And so many stuff to do I can’t even decide! This web browser is like no other! Make sure to download it and give it 5 stars From Alyssa 😜

Closing down puffin. This is terrible news, I use it because a game I play requires a flash player.... without this browser there is no need to own an iPad anymore....

Outstanding results but.... Like it said on the title, outstanding results but...every once and a while it seems to be freezing. This occurred when I used the app for quite longer. It seemed that every time I started playing again, it would slowdown, freeze and then crash (sometimes). If there is anyway to stop this from happening please, fix it now. Other than that this app is amazing and a very huge help. Support to the owners. 😊❤️ - Someone

Brilliant!!!. Works very well on an old iPad. Brilliant idea to have the browser in a cloud and have this app simply access that browser. Thank you guys.

A+ for Puffin, DNF for Apple. Puffin was the only browser on my iphone that allowed my workplace intranet to operate normally. Shame on you apple for belittling this app creator when you don’t even have a browser that works properly.

Plz save puffin. Great browser if you dont have a computer, it is fast, has flash and it private! Don’t worry about cost it’s free and amazing! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==—==-=-=-=-=-=-=—==-=-=-=-=-=-=- Plz rate 5 stars to save puffin

Update please. No one uses flash anymore so most games and web apps work like trash on Puffin, most websites that aren't just plain text feel so buggy.

Great. I recommend using this app because it’s fast and reliable. But my safari account said it had a suspicious log in. I tracked it all down and it led to puffin? Am I the only person who has experiencing this? To sum puffin, good app!

Love but. I love this app use it for farm town , wish you didn’t have to close it down, am hoping something good will happen for you so it can be kept going

Why apple?. Puffin has been one of the best browsers I have ever used. But all good things must come to an end, shame it was this soon

Super fast on old iPad2. As per the title my old iPad, which I use almost entirely for browsing, was just about unusable on Safari. Thanks to Puffin however my browsing speeds are now an order of magnitude faster. Try it and see for yourself.

Puffin will be sadly missed. To all the team at Puffin, We have been loyal users forever and so so happy with the service. I don’t know what we will be using in the future but can only hope it’s as good. Hard shoes to fill...!! Apple should be ashamed...!! Another example of big companies pushing the little guy out.. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

FANTABULOUS!!!. This is a great way to go on websites without a computer I say that there's nothing needed to be updated but (maybe for the other reviews) maybe a bug update but I don't have any bugs with my iPad!

So grateful!. I have an older version of iPod touch (5th gen) so only iOS 9.3.5. I was unable to view Twitter and access another site for movies due to excessive ads. No other browser would work. And I have tried many. Truly grateful to you.

Reliable. I can play pc games without owning a pc. Extremely useful. Reliable. Slight lag but it’s expected. I have been using puffin web browser for years!

Why apple. I don’t understand why you have to do this this is a harassment to us gamers and if puffin does close we will have no choice but to game end you

Crashing :(. app starting freezing and crashing all of a sudden, so I saw there was an update and updated it. Now its even worse lol. Please fix it asap, excellent app otherwise.

Bad play Apple. Loved using Puffin, so much faster than Safari, I'm terribly disappointed in Apple's stance. I should be able to choose.

Amazing. Wow this app is amazing once I found this app it was the browser I always used I just love this app

Sad to see go from Apple. Not being able to use puffin on my iPad and iPhone is a huge loss for me, as it is the only browser that I can play flash games on, , I have a game that I need to access on my travels, I will be rethinking my use of Apple products after the 1st of July

My favourite browser in the iOS. This is by far my go to browser as it allows me to surf the web like if I was surfing from my desktop. Other browsers don’t compare to Puffin. If I had two extra hands I’d give Puffin 4 thumbs up!

The Best! A Must Have!. This is the best!When I saw that this app allowed me to use adobe flash on my iPad I immediately got it it came with more then I expected! It makes it like a pc on my iPad!A must have!

Sad to see you go. This website was an actual legend for me but apple just has to get rid of the best apps but all love from me as well as 5 ⭐️

Flash games. I love you puffin web browser Because I be able to play flash games on my iPad please don’t leave please stay here at iOS

Alright but there room for more. This browser is really good, but I’m look forward to an update that allows the browser to support webgl

Great App. Love Puffin, very disappointed that apple no longer support this app. So glad I can still use it on non iOS devices.

Get bent apple (edited). They need to pull their heads our of their asses... The reason people use puffin is because it works, its simple and it runs flash player which is the opposite of browsers like chrome, safari and firefox (to a degree). The only reason apple wants it gone is because it is free and they can’t make profit off of it. Edit: its the 9th of july and it is still here, has apple noticed all the angry messages we left?🤔🤔🤔

Top app being shafted by 🍎. This browser app was the best for accessing some website only versions of games, eg Forge of empires if your a leader of a guild u can do leader stuff using puffin app for those times u cant access your main computer. You cant do that in the app version of the game. Now apple think by banning puffin in the guise of being too competitive to safari.....geez come on then bring the same versatility to safari then! Only then can apple say its competitive against them. Bad form apple!!! Rating of Puffin app 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating of Apple unfair practices minus 5 ⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️⛔️

Thank you Puffin team. Great browser, love all the features and I’m going to miss it when it’s gone. Cheers gang lots peace and love.

Superb browser. Superior browser I've been looking for. Super fast video streaming. More stable than safari. Plays flash videos on iOS when all others failed. Amazing stuff.

Fundamental problem for iPads. Decent browser, fast, etc. one problem. The iOS keyboard doesn’t show up for inserting text on a web page in a flash chat app, for example. Just a bit of a worry!

Love app, but sad now. Very sad to see that because I use an iPad, that puffin is now going to cut me all Because Apple are being mean!,! I will be sorry to see it go on 1st July 😔

Best browser. Allows flash on iOS, already a win. Apple stopped them from releasing updates which is unfair. I will use you4 browser until the end 10/10 best mobile browser yet

Love it.. Puffin solved my compatibility problem of Apple iPad not using Adobe flash. I was able to do my online learning with all the visuals thanks to Puffin. So sad to hear it is all coming to an end. Thank you Puffin.

Where is the turn on flash option?. I can’t find it on iPad.

Seriously Apple? 🔪. Puffin Browser has been a joy to use. For those unable to purchase an actual laptop or multiple other reasons. This app has helped me so much past the few years. It’s upsetting and ridiculous that such a useful app is to be shut down because Apple can’t be bothered from all of the ‘Rivalry and unfairness.’ I’m in absolute disbelief due to this situation.

Closing of Puffin for my games. Very disappointed in Apple. They won’t allow a flash player for my games and just when I found a browser I could use on my phone and I pad, they are closed down by Apple. I think my next phone and Tablet will be a non Apple product. So angry they can treat people like this ☹️ Robyn

Sorry to hear that you're unfairly kicked out by big bullies. This is the only browser that'll be able to do my work training. I'm sad and angry to hear that big bullies such as apple are shutting you down. Please fight if you can and don't let these capitalist bullies trample over you. Thanks.

Love it but few problems. I just downloaded this app not long ago and I'm honestly loving it, with being in a other country most of the websites I used to go on became blocked, this app allows me to get access to the movie etc sites again. Only problem I have so far is that every couple of hours everything starts to slow down then it freezes all together.

I love it!😋. When I was playing a game and was wanting to change my avatar I needed a pc which I’m on iPad so I search it up and puffin was always there for me so great app!!!

F$&K you apple.. I have used this browser for years. It is the only one that will let you view the desktop version permanently. Safari is a horrible browser on iOS that I barely use as it is much slower than Google search app and you have to manually tell safari to fetch the desktop version every time: and many websites don’t end up working anyway. Apple what do you expect us to use and why does google and chrome get to stay but puffin is “competition”? My fanny they are. Is puffin a trillion dollar company now? Apple is slowly getting rid of Steve Jobs vision one device at a time until it becomes another generic $$$ corporation with barely anything to distinguish it from competitors. Eventually even the dedicated apple users begin to lose interest in the latest underwhelming overpriced e-pencil/headphones/monitor stand. This is what happens when you put a robotic gay man in charge of an IT company: the only “innovations” are a new range of flamboyant colours on the same basic clothes as the year before. I would know. 🏳️‍🌈

Sound does not play in the background. I love that this bowser is really fast and I can get things done in record time. What bugs me is that the sound does not play in the background while using other Apps. I will give a 5 if I could do that.

This is amazing! No joke. This program is on of the best iOS browser out there with my opinion

So sad. I have used this browser to play Facebook games on my iPad so sad that I will no longer be able to use. I have used other browsers but puffin the best so so easy to use. Have recommended it to lots of friends who need when they go away on holiday and who don’t want to take their laptops with them. Am so going to miss you

Honestly it's pretty good. I usually don't write reviews but the fact that this has been taken down really hit me. I honestly really like this app and to find that it's be taken out in part due to Apple really upsets me. I enjoyed the versatility and the options and functions. The Google app is honestly terrible it's slow and a pain and I hate it. This is now the SECOND browser app that's be forced out since I used to use dolphin which is now out for me and now puffin is out too. It's such a shame and I hope that maybe in the future it may come back.

Best Browser. I had this on my other iPad before it broke and I gotta say its amazing I love how fast it is and it works so well, for those games where you need adobe flash player (e.g Adventure Quest Worlds, awesome rpg you should play it) it will just automatically not need it, and because you can’t get adobe on iPad this is amazing, definitely recommended

Keeps crashing. The app keeps crashing and resetting what I'm working on.

Thank you. This app has saved me so much data, and I’m very sad to hear it’s shutting down. It’s served me well, and is a very good web browser. Thank you for everything Puffin team. I wish you well.

Unfair. I really used that app and now because off apple this will close. I just want to let you know I loved that app.

Do not waste your time. Horrible it keeps auto refreshing and locking up every 10 seconds.

Why is Apple doing this?. Puffin is a great browser for flash content, I own both iPhone and iPad but cannot understand why Apple would be such bullies. Please don’t shut it down!!!

Don’t shut puffin down!. It’s a great app, and gives us features other mobile apps can’t do. Please, don’t shut puffin down!!

Amazing but... It's hard to tap stuff, maybe you could try to fix that?

Shutting down. Are you guys shutting down the app

This app sucks, don’t waste your time. As the title states, this app sucks and don’t waste your time on it. When trying to use the desktop version, it would go to the site no problem, but then not let me select the thing I want to use. This app is a huge waste of time

Sucks!. It keeps crashing.

good while it lasted. I downloaded Puffin to play the Flash game City Girl Life from Facebook. It was fun playing it on my phone using this app but it would sometimes shut down suddenly. Now I uninstalled it because the app is not free for unlimited usage. Otherwise the app is good.

❤️. So sad it’s going it was an amazing app lasted me 3 years so I could play computers games, gonna miss it❤️❤️❤️

great but always crashes. always crashesssssss

puffin creates sales for Apple. I bought 2 really expensive iPad Pro and pencils just to play games on Puffin. Over $1000 dollars to Apple. Wish Apple would realize Puffin might makes them more money than they think. Apple please reconsider.

Was good - now crap. Was great for iPad. Now it is useless. Had to delete it. If pro is anything like the free version don't buy it.

Gone downhill. Several of my regular sites will not load on this browser any longer, i can no longer use google search- It defaults to bing. Very disappointed. Was a loyal user -no longer.

cant use. broken. only directs you to the puffin site. if it wants you to select a plan that doesn’t work either.

Great App while it lasted.. I heard this app will shut down on Oct 1st 2019, I will aggressively use this app till the very last day its up. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

None of the pages load. The only thing I can do in this browser is google something. But when I try to actually open a page from the results, it never loads. All I get is a white screen. I want to use this specifically for the mouse function, which sounds great in theory, but I could never get to try it because the websites I need to use it never load.

Don’t go. Apple sucks, your app rocks

Sad that Puffin is going. How unfortunate that Apple isn’t allowing Puffin to do updates. I really liked using Puffin. Thanks for the good app. I’ll continue to use it until the end.

puffin is back?. i'm so glad Finallyyyyyy i can play my favourite games on my phone

Very poor made. Worst browser ive used to date.. nothing loads correctly. Poor formatted pages, I am very disappointed

Freezing. Great app but the problem is that when I'm in the middle of playing a game I want, it keeps freezing and I have to refresh over and over again, maybe you could fix that?

Thank you. This app is amazing. I use it for school and I’m sad to hear that it’s being discontinued. Thank you to the fantastic team managing this app. It will be missed.

It was great. I will miss you for the couple of minutes I had this app, but when I found out it was getting shut down I deleted it, and I'm upset it's shutting down :(

Best iPad browser ever. This browser has extended my iPad's life as Safari is no longer usable on it (slow, crashes)

So sad to see Puffin leave iOS. I work for Air Canada and we needed Puffin for one of our internal web software called ESS. It worked so well from anywhere in the world and was super fast. Not sure what the solution will be now that it’s leaving. :(

The best web browser. You are the best browser I used in iPhone & iPad, watching web player online on iOS devices stable we will miss your services.

Hoping for an update. I am sad to see apple is not letting them update this app. If they were aloud to update it I believe a lot of bugs could be fixed. Here’s to hoping apple will re consider puffin as a web browser on their products

Garbage. Does not work with freebitco.in Weird interface in general on iPad Guess while im here if u want free bitcoin, make an account on freebitco.in and put my referral code 50379959 for even more than what they already offer, cheers

Time to leave iOS. The only stable browser I’ve found to work on iOS that supports flash. With the (not surprising) news that Apple has essentially stunted the continued release of updates and thus killing competition further pushes me to ditch my iPhone altogether...

It’s good but... It seems I can only use it once per day which kinda sucks, mainly because it supports flash games and I want to play them

Loved using puffin. I use puffin a lot I am sorry that I won’t be able to continue to use it

Crap app = crapp. Eat what comes out my crack your app is crap

Your performance. I am so sorry that you have to shut down puffin on iOS. You guys did a wonderful job at building this app on iOS. I guess I will never again see this website on iOS. 😢

Great browser. Sad to see puffin has to stop the service because of apple. So I never ever will buy another apple device . Shame on apple money hungry a holes.

back. yeeee

app apparently closing due to apple. PSA just got a message saying apples pressure is too much and squeezing out puffin. premium users will get longer time to acclimate to it being discontinued but this app is basically done..thanks apple

God for peppa pig. Smdjjn Oh In Jed’s vlsdankjwdncwdwdqncjbqdqrbffrqvk

Unfortunate demise. I liked this browser and used it often. Alas, Apple won’t let the app update with iOS and the browser is no longer supported and will be taken off service July 1st. Sorry to see it go.

Shame on you Apple. Puffin is the best IOS browser, please don’t shutdown ):

Unusable. This used to be a nice alternate browser. Now it's slow, choppy and/or simply freezes. It's now unusable.

Essential for me. I was referred to Puffin because it was the only browser that would allow me to use my iPad to access an auction website that I depend on for my living. I will be hugely inconvenienced by its absence.

Warning!!!. Be aware that this browser now ONLY uses bing as a search engine there is NO way to change this. Was a loyal user now deleting app and moving on.

This Browser Sucks. For some reason every time I do a Google search, it’s Premium Pop Up keeps interrupting my searches. I will never pay for premium, this browser does not have any other options for search engines besides Google. Your front page news feed never changes and there is no way to turn that page off. Like I said this Browser Sucks

No more Puffin on IPhone. This is a great app and I’ll miss it on my iPhone. I open so many websites without issues that other browsers get stuck or invades you with ads. It’s sad that Apple doesn’t permit you to get any more updates so Puffin decided to backup. On androids it is working fine with all the updates, no restrictions. So long cute icon. Thanks for many years of freedom and clean browsing. No worries too much that I have you on my tablet:)

HELL YEA. THE APP IS BACK ÒWÓ

Slow and wont let me in. It keeps asking me a human check, I do the check and it keeps asking again and again and its slow as hell. Dont download

AMAZING. This app is truly amazing I got to play a game I wanted to play that’s only for pc on my iPad bc of this game!!! Download it NOW it’s amazing

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Worked well while it lasted. Puffin was one of the best apps out there for flash games. I remember a few people on Transformice recommending me this app to play the game on my phone, and that’s how I ended up here. I enjoy the desktop mode and the flash player, but I’ll have to let that all go. I’ll miss having easy access to flash and desktop mode. I found another app for music playing but it hasn’t been able to fill my puffin shaped hole in my heart. Rip Puffin. I would recommend you quickly use whatever you need to do with this app before October 1st.

Rendering engine. The very best alternative to nearly every browser for iOS: as this has a customer rendering engine. Different websites load better with this one year old app than Safari does. I’m also glad the formatting actually does render correctly for the new iPad Pro 11” screen. Apple is no longer allowing this app to be updated, due to their policy change on independent rendering engines/flash support. It’s a very sad situation, hoping even a year later that this would be resolved eventually.

Perfect Browser. So sad to see you go. I wish apple would reverse its decision but I don't hold any hope. This browser was the only fast and extremely reliable browser that gave me the flash capabilities I wanted. Now apple has deny its users yet of another great feature. I hope the developers can work around with some 3rd party app stores to at least keep puffin alive for us die hard fans. Thank you for giving us such a great experience and may you find spaces that appreciate your true value.

I will miss this app. I’ve used this from 2013 and on, I’ve loved this browser! I could do just about anything that I could do on my computer, but on my iPad! This browser was such a good idea and worked super well, even on my bad low end devices it worked near flawlessly! I hope the App Store considers this as a warning, because this was far better than safari. If this truly does go down, I will miss it and thank you for all the fun I’ve had with this

Loved this app, angry at apple. Hey. I am an angry apple user, for a while puffin has not been able to work for apple due to apple seeing puffin as a rival. I loved puffin web browser, it allowed me to play the animal jam pc version of animal jam, and now i cannot log into this version of animal jam. My computer was taken away from me, my mom uses it for herself now. Im starting to see that apple is starting to be annoying, and i might actually switch to andriod so i can use puffin and see what is really better for me, thank you puffin for being amazing while it lasted.

Sad to see it go. This browser has been more than a browser to me. It was a friend. I could use this browser-only this browser, to do things that I normally couldn’t with safari and chrome. I wish that Apple didn’t see you guys as a rival, but as a friend instead. I wish they wouldn’t have stopped you from releasing updates, because think of what the app could be now! I have faith you all will find a solution, but until that day, I will be losing a true companion. Rest In Peace, Puffin, and the team that worked on you.

Increases the usefulness of your iPad in corporate America. In todays office setting having Flash Player is a must (unfortunately) almost all web based training requires the use of Flash. I never fully understood why Apple refused to make the plugin option available, but this is a quick fix that will allow me to complete my extensive “online” training requirements with my very convenient to use iPad. There is no way in hell I'm lugging around my old Dell laptop! With Puffin the “Laptop” is officially dead and my iPad does everything i need it to do.

A seriously frightening sign. This app is great. Hands down better than chrome or safari. It allows for easy access to online sites for mobile users, and seamlessly integrates otherwise desktop only features into mobile form, such as a cursor and flash player capabilities. However, apple has ceased puffin’s ability to update as it was a competitor. They shut down puffin. This app was wonderful, and it’s terrible that it has to die in such an underhanded way. Shame on apple.

Been looking for this browser for a while!. I own a business, and my goal for 2019 is by the end of the year, to no longer need a laptop/desktop to work in the business. As we grow and add employees, I needed to be able to access one thing that was making this impossible. Pop-up menus within our content management system and pop up windows for HTML editing. I can’t completely divorce myself from that work as I will still need to back up team members when they are on vacation, etc. Today I downloaded puffin and writhing 2 minutes found that it crushed these two needs for our content management system and allows me to do the few things Safari and the others I have tried just won’t let me do. Thanks and look forward to getting to know Puffin.

Puffin Solved All My Browsing Problems. I am very disappointed Puffin for iOS is going away. Puffin solves all my browsing problems and as a student, allowed me to view videos and other content that would not play on my device normally, and which I needed on-the-go. As there is no other solution out there, I will be discontinuing use of Apple products after I’m done with this phone. There’s no need to make things more difficult than they need to be for students Apple, just because you’re greedy.

Great browser, especially for Flash. I need to be able to access Flash regularly and Puffin is by far the best browser to do this on mobile. It is too bad the app will become unavailable on Apple products before Flash itself gets discontinued next year. Apple’s policies making it such that Puffin is forced to discontinue availability on iOS still isn’t going to force me to use Safari, which is inferior by every measure. Thank you for all your hard work, Puffin.

An amazing browser without updates. An amazing browser for sure, with more functionality, safety, and utility than almost any other browser. One thing you will notice, however, is that unlike other browsers, it is getting slower and slower over time, the last update for the browser being at least a year ago. It seems that the developers have abandoned it, but yet for the flash capabilities and its other unique features it is still worth it. I just wish they would start updating it again. I could then give it 5 stars :/

A Good Browser, but Buggy. Puffin is solid, let me just get that out of the way; I don’t use this app for anything other than for Flash, but I still know how well the browser itself and just about everything in it works. The reason I’m not rating this higher is because of the Flash issues I’ve been getting. I can hardly play games or anything at this point because after starting it constantly lags, audio starts freaking the hell out, and I can’t run the game smoothly at all, especially compared to before - games just can’t be played. Puffin is a great browser, but I’m just looking forward to when this issue’s fixed.

Great app-no problems!. As far as I have been using this app, I totally love it. For example I was playing ROBLOX and I bought a hair witch I was going to wear to make my hair look crazy, but I could only put one hair on at a time. I went on PUFFIN and searched ROBLOX up, and before I did anything I was watching tutorials on how to wear more than one hair on ROBLOX, and it pointed straight to puffin. So I did the tutorial step by step and then I got it the way I wanted! So after all I love it I will definitely give it a 5 star!

Puffin is absolutely the best! Blown my mind!😁. At my house, I have NO computer, so there are some games I can't play, and on my iPad I don't have flash. As soon as my friend found out about puffin, I went crazy. I never thought that I could play on computer games without having to set up the flash! This made me so happy, I blew up. I started screaming with happiness. It is a bit laggy, but I know it's hard to have us play on the computer without being on the computer! Thank you for this amazing app!

This App Is Great. I’ve been using Puffin for years now, and I’ve very much enjoyed my entire experience with it. Not only are some of the features really nifty (such as being able to change the volume and screen brightness just by touching the right or left side of the screen), but you know everything you do is safe and protected behind their VPN. It’s very sad that they have to leave the Apple store... I really wish they could stay. It’s been quite a ride, Puffin. Thank you for everything.

Thanks Apple. This web browser was second to none. I used Safari all the time, but paying bills was so much easier on the desktop version. Now it’s time to resort to another app because of the frustration of updating that they’ve had to go through. Stinks to see it go, but apple doesn’t care as long as we still use their iCloud and music. Heck. Buying the phones leaves them with plenty in their pocket. And they can bully people based on the monopoly. Sorry Puffin. You will be missed.

Works well. I wish you would continue to offer this wonderful browser. Flash player works, and I was able to take the AARP drivers training course without using my antique computer! Please, can you leave the browser so we can use it. This is a great app. I enjoy watching the ocean. I couldn't view the waves using Safari because it doesn't offer flash player. Puffin does offer flash player and the local beach cam is fun. I can watch people surfing early in the morning, and sunbathers later in the day.

Nice alternative browser. I was sorry to hear that Puffin on iOS was being discontinued. Even though I use Safari, I liked this browser for its responsiveness and as an alternate look to Safari. I gave it four stars because it would not do contextual page refreshes for changes made in a drop down, but for general web browsing, this is a nice browser. On the other hand, I became aware of Puffin when I needed a Flash supporting browser a while back. If you are able to revive this browser in a future release of iOS or IpadOS, I will be interested.

Don’t know a title -.-. I bought this to play games that you couldn’t on mobile, as in dolldivine and picrew and other stuff like that, I just tried to play dolldivine like I do every other time I use this app, I click on gemsona maker, something weird pops up, the screen is covering the rest, I try to scroll down because I think it’s normal but it follows me around and won’t go away even if I press the play button and it won’t go back to normal under any circumstances, this happened with other websites too, with ALL of the loading screens! I’d really like this fixed, but besides that, I really ENJOYED the app.

Apple please allow updates. Recently puffin is going to be pulled from iOS due to apple refusing to allow puffin to push updates. I have used puffin for a very long time and is a great utility when compared to safari. As a student I use puffin all the time to take notes and to access certain files I wouldn’t be able to on safari. Apple please don’t ruin a great app you should help this company to make your brand better for all apple users. Please reconsider your choice apple.

THE FLASH. I got this app over a year ago, because I was looking for an app for devices that has the latest version of adobe flash player and Java Script enabled. Now, I can do everything on my device that I can do on a computer on google chrome. It's amazing, best part, it's free. Really, there is puffin academy, which used to cost $4.99 but now it's only $1.99. I don't have puffin academy, and I'm perfectly fine without it. I highly recommend puffin web browser.

A must for older devices or slow networks. This browser starts up super fast and loads web pages at crazy speeds. I was all but done with going to certain sites on my aging iOS devices but this browser makes browsing a real joy again! The flash support means I can watch much more of the free streaming content on my mobile devices too. I really only use chrome when I want to see the most recent stories page... Otherwise I only use this browser on mobile. Goodbye Safari and those annoying ios9 page crash reloads.

Best Web Browser— Seriously Apple? Really?. This was the most useful web browser I’ve ever used. But seriously apple? You can’t just shut down an app because you’re jealous that you aren’t as creative and awesome. Seriously, what a jerk move. Apple, I knew you were low, but I didn’t know you were *that* low. I bet you anything apple’s going to remove a bunch of these reviews because we’re mad. And I *am* mad, like really apple? Come on. You’re acting like a jealous 4-year-old. Sincerely, an angry teenager who’s angry at apple

FULL OF VIRUSES... If you are not a safe surfer. (If you don’t know what you’re doing) Got six Trojan viruses in less than two hours, I was trying to find and download godzillasmash3 but I got viruses instead. Glad the message popped up on the screen. This phone doesn’t feel safe to hold anymore... Went straight to a VPN app. Hope it’s cleaned up by now... And get the Godzilla games back App Store! Anyway the puffin browser runs well and you can hook it up to your tv with your phone... I give a verbal four stars because I deleted it just to be safe and because I didn’t get to try it on my tv... but I’ll give three for now because I got HACKED.

Good but has some problems. Overall it’s a good app but has some problems here they are 1 a lot of the time there are loading errors like I try to open a page or link and it downright refuses to open and I have to wait about 5 min for it to open using flash animation is what got me interested but that also has a few problems for 1 it is very laggy and poorly executed 2 I can not acutely two when ever I tap somewhere it does it slightly to left right or up and down like I said overall it’s a good app just has some flaws

Aིnིiིmིaིlི Jིaིmི iིsིsིuིeི. So I've been playing this game called animal jam on puff in it started out good on puffin, I couldn't use a computer to play because of the lag, but on puffin every time it lags it usually refreshes by itself while on the other hand the computer doesn't, I a as very upset about this because I was doing a adventure and I worked so hard then it jagged and refreshed by it self, I was very upset about it since I worked so hard on it, it took me like 30 mins.... please fix it i was irritated

If not for puffin I would have got rid of iphone. Its a shame ios will not allow puffin to continue with the great service they provide. I have used puffin as an alternative browser to safari for years now. Everything about it is better than safari. Now that ios will not allow puffin to continue their updates and service I will soon be changing phones and tablets to one that will allow puffin to run.

Sad to see it go. Hey Apple! Why don’t you help out instead of shut this down? Puffin has been a godsend browser for many who need to use flash based webinars and other things that we don’t have a choice about. Our choice might be to go buy a different tablet or phone if the apps we need aren’t available. This has been a great browser and got me through school. I’m so sad to read Apple is behind shutting it down by blocking app updates in the App store. Boo on Apple. Best of luck to all the Puffin folks!

Hate Apple for Doing This. Puffin was always superior to Safari, and I used it for games, schoolwork, and media consumption. Even after they stopped making updates, it was still better than Safari. Sad to see such a good app and idea go, really took the iPad one step closer to being a laptop. Apple if you are reading this, please either allow Puffin to update, or change your Safari to allow flash, so it will be useful. At the moment using the paid version of Puffin, but sad to see this free one go.

Sad to see a good app go because of Apple. I’m sad to see this app go as it has come to the rescue many times when safari couldn’t. I love the interface of the app and everything it offered. Even after I started to notice some difficulty with using the app because Apple wasn’t allowing it to update the software, I still continued to use it because it was still better. Hopefully Apple will change their minds and allow the app to publish software updates so that we can continue to use this wonderful app.

;( Puffin is leaving App Store... ;( puffin flash player, is leaving because App Store is being unfair to them. This is not the first app that has had issues with App Store. Since more & more updates the App Store is going downhill. This is not limited to apple products as well. Most likely Apple has these smaller issues soon customers when bigger issues arise will switch to a better competitor. Also Puffin player is an amazing app!! This whole review is for puffin flash player. Please Support it!

Gamepad needs more. It needs the option to change to a directional pad as well as a central button for games that need five buttons to play. I also have problems downloading games on steam... I want to play Doki Doki Literature Club on my phone because Just Monika. Also I can’t access Bloons TD 5, it directs me to the app which I have. What if I want to play 6? Nooo. It won’t let me. Also fullscreen could have an option to shrink in height exchanging for a full keyboard during play. That’s all the problems I have. Hope Puffin can address these in the future

Maybe add an option to add more buttons to the game pad?. This browser is amazing in the fact that it can play flash games and that it’s free. One suggestion I have is the option to add more buttons to the game pad because the 4 buttons aren’t enough sometimes. Also it seems that a lot of times my progress in flash games reset after exiting the app, like in Super Smash Flash 2 for example. Also, I noticed that sometimes the app will “crash” and only show blank pages when I try to go to any website. This persists until I exit the app and open it again.

Efficient and Helpful. First and foremost, I love Puffin. I am currently a high schooler, and it is because of Puffin I am able to open homework/use desktop browser/etc and it has been so a beneficial program to completing these assignments. It is extremely efficient and honestly, one of the best programs I could ask for. I’ve had this app downloaded since middle school. I am going to miss it when it will be taken off in October, but it has always held a special place in my heart and hope this inspires someone to continue fighting for Puffin.

It’s good but.... I was looking on the internet in how I could play laptop games and access laptop sisters on my phone when I found Puffin. So, I downloaded it thinking it was not only going to work but be as fast as they say. It was amazing! The only issue is on how slow it actually is. When playing games on it, it’s suddenly just crashes. I know companies need to over exaggerate their products just a little bit so, they can sell more, but this is seriously bad. Other then speed this is a perfect app!

Great Browser [UPDATE]. I’m sure for many people, the Flash support is the reason for downloading this browser. However, I would appreciate better support for iPad Pro hardware keyboard users. If this was supported better, I would absolutely love this browser and recommend it to others. What I am saying is making it possible to constantly register all key presses because I sadly can’t move the gamepad or make it set to 8 keys. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ——— Could it be possible to automatically download updates server-side, as in from the Internet? Please don't get rid of this!

Fast !. They have done an awesome job in getting to load the pages faster. It is Wicked Fast as they claim on their website. I use the browser daily and definitely use this when I am not connected to Wi-Fi. My request to the developer would be to create a reader view similar to Safari. It's hard to read articles not optimized for mobile. Overall Highly recommended browser! I have not experienced any lag or unresponsiveness. I have not used some features such as flash, cloud yet.

Years.. Ive used this for years. It started out on my Samsung LG tablet, and then, when I moved on from that, the iphone. Today, about a minute ago, I hopped on the browser and was greeted with the goodbye message. Honestly it hurts so badly that you have to shut everything down for ios users. Ever since i've found you, i've loved every second of using the browser. Thats why it breaks my heart that the service will be discontinued. I rarely write reviews. In my entire life, I think i've only ever written two. But, I’m honored to make you one of them. It was amazing Puffin. Goodbye ❤️

Loved the app, frustrated with Apple. My job requires access to Flash to check my work schedule so I wanted whatever would be convenient on my phone. Coworkers praised this app so I grabbed it and it was a done deal. Knowing that this app will be discontinued on iOS is a major disappointment. This experience is making me think long and hard about what type of phone I want in the coming future. I will miss the speed and easy use this app provided and I am not looking forward to the frustration of finding another app that does what puffin do.

Best browser ever. Is there hope for them yet?. I can’t believe that Apple is stopping this company with a hit browser that took off almost instantly as it hit the App Store. All because they unfairly see them as rivals. Apple won’t even let the developers release another update. If you look at the last update, it came out two years ago. I wish I could do more to save this app because it’s way better than Safari ever was or ever will be. I have hope that you guys will find a workaround and keep puffin on iOS.

Rip Chrome/Google. I used to use my google browser everyday for certain things, but when I realized there was I game that I rather to play on pc and my pc broke I stopped playing. I then found out I can use a desktop/pc version of things on puffin and have used it ever since, now I dont even have google on my iPad or my phone. I suggested the app to all my friends and they dont use google as much as they used to. To this day I still use puffin and still play the game on puffin, I honestly love it. (COuGh hIiii im not a bot so dont call this review fAkE! My grammar isnt even good enough to be a bots)

Great app n’ all but it lags so horribly!. I have used this app for a very long time, but whenever I try to fix the glitch or lag, it just doesn’t work! I’m not saying this is a bad app, I’m just saying that there may be something wrong with its timing and loading process. Please fix this and I will not rage over it not loading normally like it used to, I will try to continue using it but one day I might end up deleting it for good due to its slow loading. This may sound like a bribe or something but I’m trying my best to make it sound as polite as possible. It’s a good app! It just needs to be improved for its bugs and slow loading process.

This was the best for people who don’t own computers. I do own a computer myself, but if I didn’t, this web browser would make my tablet my computer. Unlike most phones and tablets, you can access flash games and many websites only accessible by computer, using puffin. I used this game to reach my friends in flash games, or just to explore the website. It’s a shame you guys are shutting down July 1st, 2019. This app would have been useful for those who don’t have computers. Other than that, this was a very fun app to use!

The Best Browser yet. I think this is an awesome browser, even though people have said some weird things about it, but honestly I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s awesome. Plus a lot of people are saying it’s buggy and stuff on iOS, it works perfectly fine for me on iOS, and I’m on The Ipad to. Guys, usually, sometimes if it’s buggy, reset it from iOS settings or reset it. If you put your mind to it. It’ll work better, and ITS NOT EXPENSIVE, IF YOU WANNA BUY THE PRO PUFFIN BROWSER. HOPE YOU'VE READ THIS, CAUSE IT WILL HELP. THIS IS A POSITIVE BILLION RATE.

Say it ain’t so..... I saw a message today on Puffin that Apple won’t let them release updates so they will have to discontinue on iOS Oct 1. That’s awful! Puffin is absolutely awesome. I use it when Chrome or Safari doesn’t display a webpage as it would on my PC. If a pop up, flash player, java or any other embedded content isn’t displaying or opening then all I have to do is open the same URL in Puffin and it works perfectly. I highly recommend this browser! Shame on you Apple!

Goodbye old friend. I downloaded this simply to play flash games but as I kept using it I started using it for everything because it is so easy to use but now seeing Apple use its platform to erase you from it makes me sad, this app you developed is amazing it so simple and customizable I choose this over chrome or the other search engines any day. I’ll still use this on my desktop but for my phone I’ll still use it until it dies. It been a fun 3 years.

Great but buggy at times. First of all, I would have given this a 5 if it weren't bugging out at certain intervals and interrupting my background apps used to stream music and playing certain flash games. But aside from the hiccups, this app has been da bomb! I can scale pass the things that would've been difficult on a mobile form and it'd saved me so much data. Also the browser's design altogether is just pleasant to look at and you can have the choice of editing its appearance. Also, the mouse-like trackpad for that extreme precision is sooo very helpful! (It makes target clicking with my fingers less stressful)

What happened? Why is it so bad now?. I use puffin to play flash games and to access my schoolbooks online. Last year I would have given it 5 stars because it was composed beautifully and worked as well as a well-oiled machine. However, the recent updates have messed up everything; the books don’t originally as well anymore and every time I log into my account on Ninja Kiwi, if I close the app, as soon as I try and play any Ninja Kiwi game, I’m signed out, or it will show as signed in and not actually let me access all my 3 years of progress. Very unsatisfying, but the first time round it still works, and it’s smooth that time, so it still earned those 3.

I don’t know what I’ll do without it 😡. I can’t believe Apple won’t let this app update. Puffin has so many features that Safari doesn’t, and is way more user friendly. I will have no way to run anything requiring flash once Puffin’s service ends. Apple is letting down so many people by unfairly refusing to let Puffin update, because they’re seen as a competitor. I use both services! I only use Puffin for things Safari doesn’t and won’t support. I’m extremely upset about the fate of this amazing browser.
