iCab Mobile is a web browser for the iOS. It provides many unique and useful features you wont 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
- AirPrint support
- Browser ID (UserAgent) is configurable
- iCab Mobile fully supports international domain names
- Cookie Manager

- Save images, whole web pages, PDF files
- Kiosk Mode - a restricted variation of the fullscreen mode for Kiosk environments.
- History
- Addressbook support lets you access the web pages from the addressbook.
- When launching iCab can either open an empty page, the homepage or restore the Tabs which were open the last time
- 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... ;-)

Pros and cons of iCab Mobile (Web Browser) app for iPhone and iPad

iCab Mobile (Web Browser) app good for

The best browser since a long time, and for sure the best one for a long time !
Everything you have in your Desktop browser (ad blocker, uploading feature etc...) on your iOS device. It also boosts your web experience on older iPads !! 5 stars, thanks a lot !!
Not only iCab mobile is the best browser on iPhone compared with Safari, Chrome, Opera or Firefox but it is also very privacy conscious and user friendly. You are in control. The German author behind this app very clearly respect his users. The MacOSX version on the desktop is also excellent.
Keep up. I hope bugs that crash the app have the biggest priority
Amazing app all you need in a beautiful interface and browser..
Excellent browser; love all the add-ons, and you can configure the toolbars exactly how you like. The only thing I dont like is the search feature. I dont get why they combined web and in-line Search in the same window. You can search in the address bar apparently, but typing "?" in the address bar seems superfluous - why not just double as a search field, a la Chrome?

Some bad moments

Great features , great options !! But.... Much Much slower than atomic browser. Speed it up and get a perfect 5 from me otherwise it is pretty useless.
Im sorry, but this thing still isnt allowing me to download. :/ You just did an update to "Fix" it for a bug. The bug is that you cannot download. This was fine before the last download now it doesnt do anything when I touch the screen of the item I wish to download. You still have more to fix, iCab people. Please
Like other reviews you can no longer download and save videos. Therefore app is now useless.
Great concept but fails to deliver. Very limited touch capabilities for what would be mouse clicks.
Updated app on 23 Sep 13 and as a result of opening it first time, it printed out some unacceptable protest statement in German, deleting app.
Ive been using icab for years with a 4th gen ipod touch. With the last year the app started crashing. I figured with a 5th gen ipod touch that icab wouldnt be crashing because of the increased memory of the new device. Sadly I was wrong. Time to find another browser
