Disappointed in Simple Browser Plus
Simple Browser was a nice program, but the lack of tabs was a bit of a hassle. I figured paying $2 for tabs was reasonable to compensate the devs. Sadly it often crashes on me when I have 2 tabs open, almost always with 3 tabs and I haven't made it to 4 tabs even once yet.
Known issue or should I start looking into App World's refund policy?
Re: Disappointed in Simple Browser Plus
I have been using it daily for months now (bought because of the adblocking feature). It never crashed here, in spite of the fact each time I restart it I have it reloading all the four tabs from the previous session.
Now, I remember this simultaneous loading of 4 tabs may be long (I think it actually depends on the network throughput), and while waiting one has successively (a) the "please wait while loading" dialog, then the dialog disappears but (b) all 4 tabs still show progress bars and the spinning "wait icon" : at that time, trying to click on one of the tabs (before everything is loaded) is somehow seeking for trouble. I do wait. Maybe you crash in this configuration?
Also, I remember, at the time of the last upgrade the developer described a way to somehow "clear the prefs" in case of trouble. I had none, but you should search for this "clear settings" submenu, and try it.
Really, here it does work, with all 4 tabs all the time (and I regularly hit the "all tabs full so this new link will open here instead" dialog). In the SB+ "official thread" here you have plenty of people asking for 6 or 8 tabs in fact...
Re: Disappointed in Simple Browser Plus
That's still something of a pain if I have to wait. It's already annoying to have to multi-tap the tab to select it. It seems unnecessarily convoluted. Even with the single tap setting I need to tap at least twice to get the tab to launch.
That said, it also closes out on me when I'm in full screen view, rather than the tab pane.
Re: Disappointed in Simple Browser Plus
I like SBP but I have to agree that on more than one occasion it has closed on me without warning. Not sure if others have this problem?
I really like the user agent giving the ability to view web sites in non-mobile view. Any ideas on the crashes? Settings I can change?
Re: Disappointed in Simple Browser Plus
I found the general reset setting I was talking about: click on prefs, swipe down until the next-to-last item at the bottom: "reset ALL to defaults". Quit and relaunch. I remember this was said to solve "heritage" issues for people updating SB+ from much older versions. You may try to partially reset before (surrounding commands) and also to backup e. g. your bookmarks...
Re: Disappointed in Simple Browser Plus
to be honest I think sb+ might one of th best mobile browsers. better than opera,chrome or dolphin. this thing is extra useful with 4 independent tabs. I have not come across another browser that offer the same. no need to go back and forth through settings. this is really great app.

I would suggest reset all settings to default.it should fix your crashing problem. this app is well worth $2.

sb is good and I use it daily. I cannot download either but this is not big deal. what ticks me off a bit is that sb+ is prone to crashes. it would be great to see more updates.

Re: Disappointed in Simple Browser Plus
updates would be great. dev has been missing in action for a long time
Re: Disappointed in Simple Browser Plus
you can't find the icon? its called simple browser +. if it was the last program you downloaded thwn it should be the last icon on your main app page
Re: Disappointed in Simple Browser Plus
Scroll down by swiping UP to see more icons lower down on the page.
You should be able to see it as installed if you open Appworld and MyWorld.
thanks f2. the simplest description is usually the best one
