Puffin TV Browser

I won't completely trash it like many are for the subscription. It is a functional browser, and works with the new Chromecast with Google TV well. It may even be the only one as far as I can find. It can play videos in browser, and generally functional. For that you deserve more than 1 star. However, your price plan does not. Yeah, $10 for a year subscription of anything is negligible, but that doesn't make it sensible. I could do it without thinking, but I have such a hard time supporting that model because its frankly anti-consumer to charge a subscription for your app like this when you're not needing any major server upkeep or anything. I could understand a $10 one time purchase (still would be high mind you) but to expect that regularly just seems like you're trying to exploit the market. It doesn't even have the options for tabs so I can keep multiple pages open. If you had some deep settings like I could customize navigation on the remote and tabs, and if you had some more specialized integrations than QR codes then I might understand more. But it just feels like you're on the edge of exactly as useable as I could expect at the bare minimum past playing videos, and that I should be happy to pay for that. Unfortunately, I'm just not sure I am or that I can recommend anyone else does so either. If you rethink your business model to a one time payment, then call me and we can talk.

Browser works great until it tells you you hit your browsing limit. I don't really care about any of their server side optimization, just the basic browser functionality with ad blocking. Why is that so difficult to get on a tv? I'm not paying a subscription for a browser. Maybe if it were like $3.99 one time I'd use it. How about offering the browser as a normal browser, and add the extra 'speed' from whatever server processing as a subscription? I hated amp pages and don't want any of my sites processed server side anyway.

I enjoy the app and I don't mind spending a little to use it, but one thing I'd like to see is improved bluetooth device support. I have a little handheld keyboard with a trackpad that I was hoping to use in conjunction with this app, but it seems the native Android TV bluetooth mouse cursor and the mouse cursor in Puffin TV conflict with each other, rendering the native cursor difficult to use with the app. I'm having trouble trying to explain it but if you try to use a bluetooth mouse for yourself you'll probably see what I'm referring to. Hope to see this worked out in an update.

You guys should stop all these Captcha verification. I m gonna cancel my subscription. Wasting 10 min on Captcha image clicking every damn time.

use the browser while it was free found out it's subscription based and now I'm going to uninstall it there is no reason to pay for a browser when there are so many free Alternatives and I'm not going to start paying for browser now there is no reason for to do this on TV if there is no reason to do this on any other device. moreover I can't say the experience was over the top, just another browser

I have subscribing to pay one year. Now this browser stopped loading on my drama. I have to uninstall and reinstall it daily now for it to open. Also I see movie stalls and slows down i also to keep uninstall and reinstall on work for it to open. Very Annoying. Very poor browser in my view. You can helping saved me a lot of time?

WORSE THAN A BAIT AND SWITCH: Absolutely NO mention whatsoever BEFORE installing this useless app that it will suddenly STOP working after 10 or 15 minutes and DEMAND payment with NO recourse to QUIT or even select the "Maybe Later" button!!! Worse still, I made the mistake of using this the very first time in order to stream a LIVE movie screening that could only display within a web browser.

Not worth it. This app gained traction back when there were few browser options for Android TV. Now there are several alternatives (though most aren’t free), and the subscription price here is unreasonably high. The feature set doesn’t justify the cost—there’s nothing uniquely compelling to support the pricing.

The only good internet browser for Android TV. As the app is optimized for TVs, the interface is good and easy to use with the TV remote and pages load fast and in full screen without any clutter like URL bars. It has good compatibility with media streaming sites supporting all functionalities of all webplayers I tested including full screen and subtitles. I think most of the negative reviews are due to the app requiring a subscription, but I think the $1 dolar/month plan is a fair price to pay for now as there are no good alternatives.

I’m using this app on the newest Chromecast and though I love the app, after the limit kicks in I’m unable to pay for it. I have 2 cards on my google wallet and google play credit and it constantly tells me to add payment methods even after rechecking and editing in every way to try to get it right. I’d really like to pay for this app but it just won’t let me.😕

App quits over and over at launch, don't know how it works now but I was an original supporter of this browser & it was great. I even PURCHASED the Pro version (which the developer removed from the Play Store while it still WORKED!). I could understand if Pro users now needed to pay however you should have given us some sort of perk like a little free data each month or special themes, ANYTHING to honor those who supported the company. Simply deleting an app that you SOLD and cutting off customers is the reason why you lost a lot of your initial supporters. I know that is why I deleted the app from my phone, it wasn't the $$ it was the treatment. Anyway, can't change the past, I genuinely hoped this worked on my Smart TV because don't like the built-in browser. As disappointed as I am in what Cloudmosa turned into I still wanted this to work. I'm assuming it tried to load a page that my router's spam filter won't allow to load.that's just a guess but either way it shouldn't crash it it should just not load.

So bad browser experience. Don't work as promise and shown some sites as a 1990 browser app. Don't waste ur money.

It's an amazing app. I could go to whichever website without installing any application. It's quite cheap for monthly subscription. I wish Puffin could offer a whole life subscription for users. It would be more convenient if I could purchase only one time.

This is now a subscription based browser. It wouldn't be a problem if it was a fully functioning application that allows you to download etc. Browsers should be FREE, especially on Android TV. It has an awful interface, no bookmark integration from Google, it's just plain awful and NOW you want people to PAY for it? AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID

This app is amazing. I use it to stream sport and movies, and I have zero lag zero problem bearly any pop ups it just works. Anyone critical of this browser is just a cheapskate and knows absolutely nothing. It's great that the paid version is so cheap it's ridiculous. Great job, Puffin TV Browser it's fire.

can not get a shortcut on the homepage of Nvidia shield TV so have to be logged into Google and open it via the play store

It starts flickering on my Nvidia Shield the minute I open it !!

Was great. But ifear they've oversold their data capacity. As a paid subscriber, streaming of video has gone to trash. I can run 4 4k streams simultaneously, and with ONLY this app running it only and always buffers horribly. it has become a useless subscription and service.

Only reason I need a browser on TV is to display google slides but when puffin opens it, it zooms right in on the top left corner like a focus input. Can't find any way to disable in settings and while trying to change the html in the page it tells me I need to subscribe after only 2 days.

Basically it's a scam. You have to download this to realize that you have to pay. Waste of time.
