[TheInfamousEddy]

Can someone explain what you need Flash for? Vids work fine on Safari for me :S

[BloddSniper]

@TheInfamousEddy Yes you can view vids on safari, but most vids ( and games ) are flash so you can't watch them and with this app you can. So say usually you can watch 20% of all vids on youtube or the internet with flash player you can watch 100% ( because most vids are flash files ). That's one of the reasons you might want flash for

[SrTb0y05]

well, it works about the same as the free version on the android marketplace...

[giftedhero24]

@joumani always on pc app works for runescape and flash games but app is slow atm

[reedask]

It's in the US app store now? What do you mean it got pulled?

[Thebrave929]

I got this app :D why was it pulled Thoe if I may ask?

[holton620]

Porn

[Icedtea117]

Does Fox channel work for Family Guy?

[Firefox15cc]

Does newgrounds work on it?

[Joymani]

@Firefox15cc No games work. ONLY VIDEOS. Apple won't allow apps that have full flash.

[kuyapjdotcom]

piece of Sh|t app dnt get it! i used the test suppimort site b4 i purchased the app n it said supported.

i buy the app go to ALL the sites that it said it supported. WRONG DIDNT WORK!!

[TheDoctorofGood]

What's with all you yankee youtube reviewers abusing the words "aaaand", "uuummm" and "sooo". Every video. My english is terrible and I'm still bugged about this.

[robinsdetroit]

I have been using 360 web browser, seems to be much much better than safari, have not used skyfire so cannot compare the two but based on the price and the features listed by skyfire, I would think tht 360 would score some extra marks.

[aaron6101]

(:V) Pacman says subscribe to me (:V)

[chelsea00boss]

Fuck you APPLE

[lyricyst]

@novan3 i've had a few issues with skyfire but i dont think there is another phone browser with flash, however if you're bored with safari theres a few alternatives, atomic browser, 360 browser, opera mini to name a few. 360 in my opinion has some bugs but is your best bet if safari isnt keeping you amused. Although safari does work better but theres a few options for you bro

[MrDJWooddell]

can i play Hulu with this app?

[RatedtR]

Hey Dana wassup, u know ever since I've had this app I've been tryin 2 compare it 2 safari so besides features like desktop view, what makes this a good app??? I mean I've been able 2 watch some videos on safari

[Masterglitcher567]

this is not available for mexico :/

i want that app so much XD

[pokealex2704]

@Masterglitcher567 now it is!

[Masterglitcher567]

@pokealex2704 si!

XD

ya la tengo ^^

[novan3]

Any recommendations on a better 'alternative' web browser to safari, or is this it?

Thanks & top review!

[carl1jefferson]

wow man this doesnt work for megavideo which is why i downloaded it.

[FiR3Dr4g0n]

@carl1jefferson meh true, i think megavideo doesnt allow it -.-

[SuprMunkd]

4 people have android

[HDaviator]

@SuprMunkd

As a long time iPhone user, I can honestly say that Android is a better OS in my opinion at least since gingerbread. But only on handheld devices. The ipad is still the best tablet in my humble opinion.

[phuphroo]

@SuprMunkd skyfire is full of bugs and with the froyo update droid has flash (which works fine unlike this app) not sure what made you discriminate against the droid users lol

[su0malainen1]

@SuprMunkd Its for android too...

[kkeshav74]

You sound like Steve Jobs

[freestylerstyler]

You became what you are now because you took donations from apple and windows mobile users.

There are windows mobile users who helped you develop this.

Now you saw the money in apple not supporting flash and dumped us winmo in the garbage.

Money destroyes everything!

Stop wining about criminality, you created it and don't have the guts to go near it.

ex. microsoft, apple, etc!

Go ahead and steel everything you can. Criminality also lives under those who tell you wat to do!

[MrSupershuttle]

The application is basically illegal, if the video is on a rtmp:// server, it's illegal, it's taking off the video off of the rtmp server, a protocal made by adobe, rtmp is not meant to be downloaded. time warner and disney are the only companies that I see don't use rtmp protocal on a lot of videos. Oh well

[TheLiftoffExperement]

@MrSupershuttle well no, because it doesnt take it off the server, it does everything online

[iMatt1994]

How'd you get the battery percent up next to your battery?? I've looked all over Cydia for it, and can't find it.

[emilowich]

@iMatt1994 If you have a 3GS or 4, just go into Settings --> General --> Usage and then you can enable it. If you don't have one of those phones, just search for it on YouTube or Google. :)

[aaron6101]

@iMatt1994

if you have a iphone 3g it wont show up ut above that like 3gs nd iphone 4 they show it i have a 3g it sucks a lil bit but ohw well

[mrcavalucci]

Keep it up son

[lmao4787]

yes now i can view porn fuck u safari

[iMatt1994]

@lmao4787 You can do it without Sarafi dude, easily.

[blueflame1258]

@lmao4787 That was also the first thing that popped up in my mind when I saw this app in the app store :D

[lmao4787]

@blueflame1258 seriously this thing works try it

[crazyamy1]

@lmao4787 you totally just made my day with this comment I can't stop laughing

[SkyfireMobileBrowser]

Awesome video! Another cool feature is while in the Facebook Quickview, you can watch videos too ... Thanks for the demo.

[Artem0o]

В сидии проще найти плагин к сафари, или через инсталлус скачать бесплатно, но за 3 бакса покупать зазорно

[Dcdatruth85]

So pissed this is the reason, my lil windows mobile is a block to make calls i can't use skyfire anymore. Can't pay bills on the mobile go, its a done deal ill have to continue to wait before i can get a upgrade discount next year.

[mp4podcastDOTcom]

To be honest it does not play flash. It re-encodes flash to Quick Time.

[ratmdex]

John McCain= Undercover Boss?

[MasterHasbar25]

In regards to the player menu not coming up when watching a video, i found that if you tilt your iphone from landscape to portrait mode, it lets you access the player controls. You may or not need to do that, landscape controls only come up occassionaly. Odd, but not a big deal. I love my skyfire app though!

[MATTEE782]

why can i view flash content on my iphone 4 whit skyfire?

[jeffwads]

The Droid just became even more irrelevant.

[luisito022002]

you can get it via INSTALLOUS if you have a jailbroken iphone!!

[PurpleTacoz]

if you guys werent able to get it before it got pulled off download it from instalous, i did it but as soon as it comes out on the appstore ill buy it on a heart beat

[Moosenog7]

I hate you guys I got off school at 2:20 and I was planning to get it after but no! At 2:17 they took it off oh well great video!

[bwadiummboii]

i got it! so happy with it, its great :)

[robnaj]

NBC works for me



[akgreger]

it crashes on my ipod touch 2g

[robnaj]

@akgreger because you have a iPod Touch 2G

[musicgeneration1]

I was able to snag it before it was taken off.
