not free at all
Asks for paying for a browser that doesn't work properly - I didn't pirate actually 🫤
subscribe still have 4 day but the provider tell me to make a payment again
totally garbage
I see no backgroundplay Which now truly is a top must have thing of 20% in browsers and there is No pinLock all this ever had is speed hack which is very old time will not keep such a feature cool - fresh Always cuz nothing will ever Last for ever ad blocking is in 98% of all browsers I had ever known it's very much a basic feature nothing is special about puffin you will wanna pay for it because of it has speed hack but nobody cares much about that anymore cuz most browsers are fast enough
I used this a lot when I was a kid. Now I wanted to try something, but instead got slapped by a paywall
I tried puffin tv browser hoping to stream 4k contents from dailymotion. But in streaming page dailymotion saying its no longer supports your internet browser. Try different one or a new browser. why?
Used to be great being a flash supported free browser but the pay to use the app model is just garbage. Would rather have to pay a one time fee than this subscription model. Never used a pirated version only the official, the devs want to make excuses for a bad model. Wish I could rate lower than 1 Star after getting accused of pirating because the monetization model is just terrible and so are the devs apparently. According to the devs there own app is not legit.
Hello, don't mind me. I'm just leaving one star for obvious reasons. Having fun with your AI-generated replies? Like, you do realize all you're doing is pushing people away, right? But I assume you don't care and have lost any sort of common sense.
Its such a bad experience to use such a browser.
I paid for app why ask me again to paid subscrib I don't recommended
sucks
commercial
Free to download, not to use. You can't even visit a single site unless you shell out money for a subscription service. No thanks.
Bad application . 0 star rating
Subscription is needed
I've seen the devs replying to reviews saying that switching to a paid version is the best way to combat piracy but that's ... just not true ?? having something be paid causes more piracy
make an update my game always crash out,, while using this web adventure quest world game , the flash after 20mins its crash
i forgot to check the rating now i regret downloading it
i remember free puffin. not worth the price of admission. plus, very unprofessional responses in the reviews here.
Yeah you deserve every bit of your 1.4 star rating. This used to be usable for free with ads, and now there isn't even a free option. Good grief.
old days it's free but not paid needed to use.
im no paying anything for me to use this app this is useless
DO NOT GET AT ALL YOU HAVE TO PAY MONEY TO USE IT AND YOU CANNOT GET ON ANY WEBSITE UNLESS YOU PAY FOR IT THERE'S OTHER WEB BROWSERS YOU CAN USE DO NOT BUY IT AT ALL UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY MONEY TO USE IT
Not working
What kind of browser requires a subscription? It's not the 1990s.
Awful browser, has almost no features, plus you have to pay for it (A LOT!), since it works 'in the clouds' in theory the devs can capture all you data (bank passwords etc.), AVOID!!!
cheater. purchased pro app. but discontinued. don't trust
changed to lock it fully. before i could try out if it works now on same web browser game fully. 9 cents and cheap move ;) reason i would get it was for zoom option. but cant even try 😂
Edit: Where did I say anything about piraters? I just said it's stupid that we have to pay for something we previously had free access to. Completely and utterly retarded that we have to pay to use a web browser that used to be free. This used to be the greatest Flash browser out there. Not anymore.
not good, can't even use it without paying
pay to use app, it is a very bad way uninstall
waste of time you can find better browsers for free elsewhere
poisoned by money
paid trash
only with money i can use any browser to have no ads using an APN that blocks any. i can use incognito tabs for privacy.
it force close everytime lol you assume that i pirated but i could only use this by buying the monthly subscription what a fxking developer i guess arrogant b*tch
turned out really bad, ive been using it for Years but I had to eventually change lol
cant even use it without paying for it. like why? nothing special bout this browser at all.
seriously must require paid that but I think zero star
needs payment now. Wow. I just got a reply. No, I am not a pirate... I used to use this app to play club penguin in grade school, and thought that I could use this quickly to access something while sick, so I wouldn't have to get up from the couch to get to my computer. How unprofessional. Don't waste your time anymore, folks. Maybe people don't like this app anymore because it's not a good app. Don't blame bad decisions on bots when the app obviously has problems.
NEED TO PAY JUST TO USE BROWSER NO I WOULD RATE THIS 0 STARS
this app used to be free
good job hiding the sole functionality of a browser behind a subscription plan if i could rate this trash app to 0 stars i would do it
do not use at all even to use it you must pay not worth it & very suspicious overall
how is your response an answer to my statement, "Seems like this App only works in the most perfect reception reception locations. Any weakness some signal causes disconnect to the cloud server."? by the way users, this company does not Bill through Play Store; it bills you directly through your credit card through their website, and when the apps don't work you can't get your money back. 365 is a ripoff, as the desktop browser is non-functional, and has not been updated in 7 years.
im not paying a subscription to use flash the greed is sickening
keeps on crashing when switching tabs and i have a flagship phone
useless app, few months ago this stupid app was available for subscription
lmao
