Description

iCab Mobile is a web browser for the iOS. It provides many unique and useful features you won't find in other iPhone browsers.

APPLE WATCH:
The Watch App is a remote control for iCab Mobile, so you can navigate, zoom, scroll, open bookmarks, links, the homepage, switch tabs or sitch on/off the fullscreen mode. Since watchOS 6.2 you can also open web pages and browse the Web directly on the Apple Watch. But there are still limitations: there are no navigation buttons (back/forward) available.

FILE UPLOADS:
iCab Mobile can upload any files on web pages.

SEARCHING:
iCab Mobile comes with several default search engines you can choose from. You can easily add new search engines.

FILLING OUT FORMS:
iCab Mobile can save web forms and restore the form content later (manually or automatically). The saved forms data can be password protected. Supports many third-party Password Manager Apps as well.

FILTERS:
There’s a built-in fully customizable filter feature. It allows to block resources, ads, banners, user tracking scripts, cookies etc. Supports AdBlock Plus/EasyList filters as well.

TABS:
iCab Mobile supports Tabs, so you can open multiple web pages at the same time. Links can be opened in Tabs (in the foreground or background) manually or automatically.

BOOKMARKS:
Bookmarks can be organized in folders. You can import/export the bookmarks from/to your PC/Mac browser.

FULLSCREEN MODE:
iCab Mobile provides a fullscreen mode where the whole screen is used to display the web page. No screen space is wasted for toolbars.

DOWNLOADS:
iCab Mobile has a built-in Download Manager so you can download almost all files from the internet. The downloads can be easily transfered to a Mac/PC/Linux computer but also to other Apps on the device which can open these files

MULTIUSER SUPPORT
You can create multiple user accounts, each user has its own private bookmarks, filters, settings, etc.

DROPBOX
iCab Mobile supports Dropbox. Export/Import bookmarks; transfer downloads, images, files, web pages to your Dropbox account.

TWIN BROWSER:
In this mode, you can have two browsers side by side on the iPad. This is especially useful on the large iPad Pro.

VOICEOVER
The App is also accessible for visually impaired and blind users. If VoiceOver is enabled, the App plays soft ticks while a page is loading, so blind users are able to identify when the page load has finished.

OTHER FEATURE:
- Configurable multi-touch gestures
- QuickStarter feature

- Browser ID (UserAgent) is configurable

- There are different color schemes and designs
- Document Sharing lets you pass downloads and files to other Apps in the device



The App includes a store providing several InApp purchases. These are meant as a tip jar. The InApp purchases are available for different prices, so you can pick the amount for the tip yourself. Doing so will unlock a few cool features as a reward, these are always the same, regardless of the amount of the tip. Users who have purchased the App within the last 12 months do get all these features for free, no need to buy one of the InApp purchases. Though they can nevertheless give me a tip, if they want to... ;-)

Good app but lacks documentation

Really good app for browsing on iPad with a desktop browser. I wish there was more help documentation, though. There’s so many features that I can’t make work, and perhaps I’m just doing them wrong.

Multi functional browser

I bought this app in 2015 and am still using it almost very day. Couldn’t be more happy with it. Keep up the great work Alex!

Safari on steroids

iCab’s level of customization and features is unmatched on iOS / iPadOS.
For instance, the layout is fully customizable. This browser may not be for the average Joe, unless pre-configured. However, if you are willing to spend time to tweak your browsing experience, iCab mobile does so much more than other browsers.
Some of my favourite features include mobile split view (both portrait and landscape) and filter list support (Easylist, for instance, blocks lots of junk) and its integration with lots of services such as Firefox Sync. iCab Mobile is easily the most complete and customizable third-party browser on iOS / iPadOS.
Two thumbs up to iCab Mobile.
