  by khosro ahmadzadeh

  You are the best. thanks

• Love it

  by JeRkyjeRm

  Lots of cool features

• Best browser

  by Osmin Iribe

  I use the Puffin browser for my main browser. I have not experience any of the problems that the reviewer is writing about. I have a good connection and my browser is fast and smooth. The videos play flawlessly just as well as my netbook. I have an iphone 5 and ipad 1 and I use the browser for both.

• Amazing browser

  by Brandon!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I love this browser soo much!

• Promising

  by xNIiRUx

  Just opened. Like the interface. Lots of possibilities.

• Not the fastest... I think

  by Blah oh

  Sometimes the app has trouble connecting to the server. School has bad internet though, and the problem might be on this end. Otherwise it works great.

• nice and easy

  by fesal77

• Good app

  by Krhans

• fix lag

  by Alex.CIA

  please fix lag and optimize for iphone 5s

• THANK YOU!!!!

  by mesug

  Finally, I can do Pearson's mymathlab and Mastering Biology on my iPad!!

• Puffin Browser

  by Melody Dorman

  I love this app because I can use it for my Real Estate career. It is the only browser I found that works for my MLS logins. That portion only costs 99 cents for 6 months, a small price to pay for a peace of mind that I can do my work from my ipad! Melody Dorman

• Speedy?

  by Word on the Street

  Nope. Chrome runs faster on the same internet connection. Even Safari is faster, don't advertise it if it isn't true!

• The worst

  by IMilove

  Crashes all the time.....nuff said.

• Confused

  by Thelovablecactus2323

  It keeps saying my flash adobe has ran out of trial mode!!! I don't understand?!?!

• Subscription?

  by Poobabguy

  Bought the six month but it tells me it will be renewed every six months and I don't want that... Need to know how to cancel

• Waste of money

  by Meme123u

  This app is the worst thing ive ever seen. The voice comes before the image do. Very slow connection very bad when it reconnect and u will have to start over the video every 1 min. I feel bad that i bought this app

• Flash doesn't work. Need to pay $$$$$

  by Jameel8490

  I don't write reviews so this app was that bad. Can't even play flash videos unless you pay $6 or $7. Waste of time.

• Beautiful, if you're only watching

  by MClaireW

  This is a great app if you only want to view flash presentations. As an early childhood teacher, many of the sites we use feature interaction. While the puffin web browser will respond to click (touch), it will not allow click and drag which renders most of the games inoperable. Pity, when it promises so much but limits it's use in this way. If this feature is added it would be a perfect browser!

• Fix crashing

  by firefox578

  App crashes like crazy. Not worth the subscription. Can't handle most heavy sites.

• Dud

  by Jatpk

  I downloaded this and it will not open. I can't delete, because it's not downloaded so it can be deleted! Vicious circle!

• AMAZING!

  by Wine4Tina

  I am an online student who happens to work all day. I like to bring my iPad to work and do homework on my breaks, and I can't tell you how many learning environments require flash, and how frustrating it's been having to lug around a laptop when I longed to just do it on my iPad. I can now stop whining to my fiancé about my flash homework woes! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

• Flash Support Works as Advertised

  by Bwh1248

  The browser worked great! It saved my butt when I went on vacation with only my iPad and needed to complete something for work that required a browser with Flash support.

• Flawed

  by Hidaven

  Browser closes down pages when you go to log in. No toolbar home page, bookmarks and tabs are confusing. Stock browser is more intuitive and way less buggy and needs work. Pages are cut off etc.

• Good

  by Gjs999

  Good

• Great

  by Noftyuio

  Fast easy and a great vbrowser al around

• Great zoom and not too cluttered

  by Dgtranr

  Overall I use this browser more than any other. Would like to be able to set as the default. Any way to accomplish that?

• Awesome!

  by Supa J

  I am really enjoying this app! Keep it up!

• Lies

  by DarkWolf696

  I got this app to use flash only to find out it charges you. Do not get it lies worst app ever

• Lag!!!!!

  by Drift39

  The tapping is way too laggy and hard to scroll down on things

• Good

  by Nessie

  This is a great app. I also like the way you can customize the main screen.

• Much needed app

  by Th3rung0

  This truly is a very great and much needed app , I love the theatre mode , makes movie watching that much more enjoyable . Alas though it has one major flaw that should be looked into immediately , this being the slider bar at the top of the theatre mode sometimes it works just fine , sometimes it will send you back to the beginning and sometimes and won't work at all , I very much enjoy this app and recommend it to anyone having troubles watching videos or movies online, all it needs is an update , and I'm hoping for sooner rather than later . Thank you

• NO KEYBOARd

  by J—Sizzle

  I was trying to play some games that needed adobe flash, but i couldn't sign in Becuase the keyboard wouldn't show up and when i connected a bluetooth keyboard, IT DID NOT WORK! (Note—typing in urls works but any kind of keyboard-needing-thing on a website does not work.) Also the app is slow as frozen molasses in a Canadian winter. :(

• Just a great app

  by Bahār

  The speed is unbelievable it the shortcut is great too but while swiping it kept on going on the screen sometimes is bothering

• Stupid

  by Hainesrocker

  This is a stupid app

• 별로....

  by ㅇ울라앙 ㅇ

  왜 결제가 됐는지 모르겠네요 그리고 레티나에 최적화 못한거 같네요 iOS 7에도 최적화 못한거 같구요....영 별로 발전 요망 보고나서 욕하지 말구

• Used to love this app

  by Kaepernick Jr.

  When I first has this app, u had adobe flash support all the time. Now they made it so that u only have adobe flash support from 8am to 4pm. That Is so stupid.

• Best,easy app

  by Matoepelodeleon

  It's a fantastic app that I don't and will never regret downloading, if the creators are reading, please keep doing what you do. You guys seriously make my life easier. I would give this app a hundred stars but that's not an Option!!!

• Slow!

  by AriaLHM

  The flash performance is sooo slow that its ability to handle flash is not worthwhile.

• So far so good

  by Smokin hot mama

  Nice interface

• Sophisticated!!!

  by Jr0wski

  Extremely classy UI - sleek, and smooth - love it!!!!

• Best app ever!!!

  by Silkjammies18

  This is the easiest and fastest app for web browsing!! Thank you puffin!!❤❤❤

• BEST

  by I love roblox comperter

  BEST APP EVER I CAN DO ANYTHING LIKE PLAY BTD5 but one thing There's no sound I don't know how to fix is so Please fix. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!

• Great!

  by Angry rage mode

  I don't know how they do it but it's very fast! Pretty good layout not the greatest but it's alright. Very cool features Definitely give it a shot.

• OMG, YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME

  by Nathan Lovette

  I was so furious when it took off Flash if I don't get the full version! I finally had Club Penguin portable! These peeps know we want the Flash and just want money!!!

• Horrible app! Video lovers can't watch this!

  by 33991035's helper

  I love to watch videos but this stupid browser always LAGs . I'll be doing it a favor by giving it ONE star. This thing won't work on any anime websites.

• Puffin

  by Całka

  Puffin zdał mi kolokwium z całek. Dzięki

• Best Browser!

  by Epicasian23

  This is... By far... The best browser out of all!!! It has EVERYTHING!

• Awesome

  by ipad coder

  works create with online IDEs like nitrous.io the touchpad and keyboard commands are a big help.

• Fast but not perfect

  by Tamarinera

  Very fast, for sure. And haven't tested the Flash component yet. Downsides: can't customize search engine (to DuckDuckGo, eg); has a lot of ads; web pages don't wrap to screen size, so reading can be cumbersome with all the scrolling (that's a pro-con issue, as it is nice to see the original page format sometimes); and also I keep getting side menus popping out by accident as I try to scroll around. I'm still browser shopping, as I don't think this is the end-all and be-all.

• Great browser

  by comfynumb1

  I have several browsers I use on my iPhone and iPad, but this has become my favorite. Lots of good features and everything functions very well. Playing flash videos needs a little help though, it doesn't play them all and most it does play are fair at best. Still a good app and I'll stick with it and see where it goes.

• It's great

  by JakeThewhite

  All good

• Great

  by Cooooool cal2347

  This ia a great app but i want more flash

• Perfect

  by mehdi kalantari

  Perfect and perfect and perfect

• Okay, but we need more flash

  by AshaN1214

  I think this is a better browser app than any, I just think that it should have more flash time. Thanks.

• awsome

  by RedIZO

  great app

• Flash Player

  by Dibbs101

  Flash player is out of date and you have to pay $1 to upgrade it.

• A customer write review

  by Leo Tran Nguyen Phuong

  This app verry useful with every body just me

• Great to have flash but...

  by Eseeft

  It is very slow if your paying a game, but good for simple videos, the loading speed is horrid for every page. I only use it if I want to watch a simple video and I just copy the link from safari and put it in puffin. Is the full version faster?

• N

  by Bbnjjobbb

  can't scroll down on twitter

• Would be great if....

  by The_pinkfluffycloud

  You get the full flash player version not the trial version

• Great.

  by General 95

  Great browser,only problem for me is that with the new update,it appears you can't renew your flash trial by recommending the app to friends. Unless I just haven't noticed.

• Alright

  by Intrepod

  I got this for my phone and found it to be useful and convenient. But there was a code in the google play version that people could enter to extend their trials. With enough entries, you could recieve hundreds of days. Not here.

• Some issues

  by MK180

  It's a great browser but you can't scroll down to view more tweets on twitter.

• Perfect App

  by CU865

  This is even better than the Safari app! Pages load super quickly and websites with lots of memory on them don't get frozen at all! I'm thinking of getting the full version!

• Awesome!

  by Desperatetrdv

  Best ever! Yeah

• Great

  by DJAmped

  I use it at school to go on blocked websites. P0rn inthe bathrooms my friends. Mmmm.

• Cl

  by IClears

  Best browser no crash or bugs for ipod 4th gen thanks

• Slightly laggy, bad sound

  by weirdo3470

  I downloaded this so that I could read Homestuck on the iPad. It worked reasonably well. I was able to watch Cascade all the way through, with slight lag, and very static-filled sound.

• Great

  by Jon Kessler

  This App is a great substitute for Adobe Flash Player. It works really well.

• Twitter

  by Jhayhay

  You can't scroll on twitter, which bothers me. Other than that I really like the app

• Makes you pay.

  by SomeoneUsedMyScreenName

  Same

• Love it

  by Mac 6d

  Very smooth and nice. And has adobi :)

• Ok but...

  by Hannah2AJ

  It's trial period doesn't last long enough D: I wanted to play but now I can't anymore :(

• Faster than Safari

  by Ika2020

  Wow! I am amazed with this app. Loads pages and options on ipad faster than any browser I've tried. Highly recommended app. I will never go back to Safari! Thank You Puffin!

• Update flash player

  by KariKaut

  Kindly update flash player to 11.3.300 .271 and I will purchase flash over cloud and will consider giving a 4 or 5 star review. At the moment, I cannot run the flash app I plan to run. Otherwise, the browser itself seems good

• Wow...

  by CapricornDarkAngel

  Why did they do this? They don't do the codes anymore so we can get more flash DX that made me wanna quit Puffin. Add it back then I will come back but for now on I'm off of it

• Horrible

  by Robiopu

  It is so slow. When I what to play cool math, it always lags on me. It is so disturbing

• Paying

  by Marc4500

  After paying for the premium browser of this app do i have to continue paying 99c ..or is the flash unlimited without monthly pays ?

• Worst

  by Ji17

  I just lost my money for this app. Doesn't go from one page to next page quickly. It takes years. I try to do online practice tests and I have to wait one hour before this browser reconnects and loads next questions.

• Legit

  by Zack Welch

  This web browsers is awesome it has Flash so I was able to see content I couldn't see on safari. This browser is fast too! A++

• by Chip35KD

  After a while with the app you have to get the adobe flash player full version

• Warata

  by Warata

  I have upgrade for flash but it said please try again later. I have lost my money. (angry)

• Great app

  by I cant find a nickname...

  Its a great app ! But I think you should modify the drag and drop option,for example just double tap on trackpad and then move it with only one finger,not two because it's way much easier.Thanks :)

• Puffaliscious

  by Julienevamind

  The only browser that allows me to upload docs from my Dropbox when using my iPad. Major koodos!

• I love this

  by Hhvctgvhg

  I love this app so much!! It allows you to customize your home screen so it's cute when you go to surf the internet or even to just get on. I love this better than regular safari .

• A customer write review

  by Leo Tran Nguyen Phuong

  This app verry useful with every body

• Just can use once

  by Arthurwang1985

  Then nothing!

• Happy wheels

  by Broski1601

  Yay

• by kiddlizzy

  It's such a good app!

• Doesn't run flash any more?

  by Cuhpcakes

  If you're receiving error messages whenever you need flash support just go to Settings > Reset to Factory Default. Then delete the app, shut off your device completely. Turn it on, download and try. This worked for me! Lovely app! :)

• Won't load

  by LULUUMOON

  I paid a dollar for the flash but it just won't load!!!
