SAVE PAGE button moved to TOOLS! In Version = 14.0.8.1340 This is simply bad UI implementation. For current users it renders muscle memory useless. Because what was a simple 2 tap operation. Has now been lengthened for no reason at all. New users are less likely to even know the button exists since it’s basically hidden away! Instead of fixing stuff that actually needs some attention like for example… DOWNLOADS -> FILES The whole FILES page needs to be fixed!
The app is good. It has everything i want. However, the ads are super annoying. It’ll play video ads on the top half of your screen every once in a while. At least they have the common decency to mute the ads, but it still takes up too much of the screen when I’m trying to read stuff. Also, you can’t change the home screen to be Google. You’re required to use their weird home screen.
This app is great BUT it’s slow when scrolling up/down. Very janky and laggy. I also want to get rid of the annoying links that are in the homescreen of the app that you can’t remove/add like google and trip advisor. It needs to have a chrome browser extension on pc that WORKS so i can sync my bookmarks on mobile and pc. I would also like a search bar in my notification menu (dolphin browser has both). I really want to like this browser. So i will keep an eye out, check in every once in awhile for any improvements. I will change my review/rating until then. Update: I had no background processes when running the app & thank you for responding so i will give you three stars :’)
Used this for years. After update, I can no longer zoom in to make text bigger and have the whole page rescale. That’s WHY I was using it in the first place. VERY DISAPPOINTED and I’m not the only one complaining about this. What a stupid feature to remove! So I’ll switch to something else so I can save my poor eyes! EDIT: The browser now supports the whole scale zoom and I’m very happy to begin using it again. THANK YOU development team!
Was great now constantly inundated with ads. There are ads at the bottom of every screen, your constantly being hit with requests to play videos on mobile date which pop up again seconds later when you hit deny, over and over again. Now unrelenting pop ads are everywhere making the app completely unuseable. Yes, ad blocker is on. Yes, I’ve clear my cache over and over again. Even uninstalled and reinstalled. Used for years but now I given up and uninstalled the app.
It uses more RAM than the rest of my apps combined and really chews up my battery life. Also it comes with a ton of bloatware and spammy notifications that are a pain to disable, and is constantly adding more, which is why I have disabled automatic updates. Still, it has a good ad and malware blocker and comes with a terrific pop-out video player. The reason I still use it? It’s the only Android browser I’ve found with a built-in scrollbar.
I’ve been using UC Browser for years and set it as a default app. I liked how the bookmarks are saved and incognito mode. I don’t like every time after you update, so many ads and nonsense news show up, but somehow I managed it. That was tolerable, but now I hate it. Two biggest issues by now. I was using it to watch video, sometimes it can be so buffering. Then I tried exactly same video with Chrome, much faster. After that everytime I can’t open a page with UC, I try with Chrome, open right away. The second thing happens to me is that everytime I’m trying to type on UC, the keyboard would always disappear when you just start to type 2,3 letters. It never happened with other browser. I’m thinking it’s time to change my default settings.
Bogus. This was an excellent app. Now it’s slow, lags while YouTube streaming (on broadband WiFi for crying out loud) but the final insult is that I cannot turn off Facebook notifications which have been greyed out. So now my phone keeps getting multiple notifications for the same item. I do not have the inclination to spend time figuring out how to disable them, that is not something that should be set as a default. Deleting app, I’m done.
From my experience using this browser on multiple devices I have to say that this browser is really not that good. The only reason I’m giving this browser three stars instead of two is because it’s the only browser I know of that can download torrents, I didn’t actually try downloading any torrents though. Anyways, it’s pretty slow on most of my devices and even on the one device where it wasn’t slow, it’s still not the fastest browser I’ve used. The built in ad blocker didn’t actually seem to block ads, even with the powerful ad blocker turned on. There are some sites that I tried that think this browser is outdated. Also, while I don’t mind the built in video player, I noticed that, at least on some sites, it would cause an issue where if you tried to full screen the video too fast it would just show a black screen. Then I also had a device specific issue on my tablet (HP 7, running android 4.1.2), where almost every website gave me an error saying that the connection wasn’t secure and it refused to let me use those sites. I didn’t have this issue on any of the other three devices.
Have to lower rating from 5 to 1 star. It gets a 5 for browsing speed but a zero for importing bookmarks. Also, at least 90% of the time, clicking on a link on one website leads to a server error… this browser can not follow links. Plus, you lose all bookmarks when it does an update. Ridiculous “news” headlines as well UPDATE: Uninstalled… kept getting notices that UC Browser was using battery power when it wasn’t on. plus, my new phone is fast so I don’t need UC’s speed to browse the web
I once gave this browser two thumbs up. But for the past couple of years I’ve grown to dislike it for a few reasons. One of them is that it highjacks links without any permissions given. It somehow insist on becoming the default browser. Another gripe I have is that it does not allow you to play any downloaded movies on any other app. The directory is kept inside the browser. And I have other dislikes, but I think you get the point. It has, however, a great ad blocker, and I think is one of the best, if not the best. But to me, the above mentioned is a deal breaker.
I have been utilizing this app for only 2 days. Let me start by saying that their is a learning curve. I am impressed by the versatility of this browser including all its available tools. Their have been some obstacles to overcome. Firstly I have not been able to import bookmarks from any other browser. Their is a function to accomplish this but it does not seem to see the Chrome browser. This morning I noted that while listening to a pod cast, if one turns off the screen the audio stops.
Update: Recently I’ve been getting pop-ups on every site I visit. All spam. It’s a shame but I’m going to have to use another browser. So the search begins… I’ve used probably a dozen different browsers, and this one is my favorite, hands-down. One unique thing it does: when you zoom in on a page it adjusts the larger text to fit the screen.
I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews from various sites and Android authorities about the big UC, and the one undeniable fact is that it just can’t be topped when it comes to download speeds. This is the Bugatti of browsers; it’s big, load, flashy, and ridiculously fast. A simple user interface, yet modern enough to keep up so far. I keep a couple of browsers handy on Nokia G300, but the UC is the one that goes so well with those 5G download speeds. I’m rating this in 2022; it could use an upgrade.
So I’m revising my review over 3 years later. You even implimented my suggestion (total coincidence, I’m sure!) of doubling your tab allowance to 20. Your last update was a great fix, as I know Facebook is throwing you a LOT of curveballs. So thank you for being so proactive! A suggestion that I would REALLY love to see you impliment would be to add a 7th “Webpage Background Color” under your themes tab that would be just like the sixth (transparent) but with GREEN text instead of the white one. An 8th could be transparent with AMBER. These two options would be great for fighting eyestrain in dark rooms like the old green and amber monochrome computer monitors back in the day. Transparent is my favorite setting, and this would be a wonderful improvement! 🙂
The built in UC ads (not website ads) are encoded as video, so I either get a prompt to allow video over cell data, or the video “plays” as you browse and automatically pauses music playing in the background. Absolutely unacceptable. This app is now unusable while listening to music (Spotify). The ads should not be encoded as video. UC used to be a great browser, but it is getting deleted now.
I’ve tried them all. I use Mozilla Firefox for my desktop however the mobile version is kind of laggy and has some bugs to work out. UC browser is my favorite DESIGNED UI out of any internet browser on mobile. This browser has a very comfortable way of organizing things and I just love the theme and everything about it. Its fast and get a the job done. No lag whatsoever with UC browser and I appreciate the makers. Thanks and I hope anyone finds this helpful.
Used it for four years, was perfect but as of late it kept adding a bunch of clutter. The forward button has been replaced with a non removable share button, pausing videos now shows an in app ad, the toolbar often times appears in fullscreen video and disappears from non full screen browsing (a bug that’s been around for years). The browser is fast and sleek but those issues drag it down a lot and are finally making me switch browsers. It doesn’t seem like things will get any better either.
Although the UC browser has some nice feature, and keep in mind, I have tested many programs via the computer and the phone more than the average user, because I am a tech looking for the better program, always, anyway, UC browser lacks common terms used for a browser in the menu and lacks common options that a person usually set. I can’t find a way to completely terminate the program either by using the go back on the phone like you can on other programs or find an EXIT label like in Firefox, however I found an ICON. which is round only which seem to end the the program as it seems to close on the phone, but in the apps option, on the phone, i shows it still running. The two said ways to turn off that I said mentioned, still shows it running on my phone apps section in settings.. It also seems to be running when I turn my phone.. These things and menu options will give the browser a 2
This app use to be my top browser, now I uninstalled it. It sucks because I was a UC web user since 2008. This mobile browser went from being the best, to one of the worst. It has lot’s of problems, but one of the one that got me to finally uninstall the app, was that when ever I was reading a long page or article, when I scrolled further down. I would get a black screen. Not allowing me to keep reading, the black screen would not go away even after reloading.
