Ratings and reviews

NO DATA HARVESTING. LOVE THAT. I've been loyal to Brave for ....jeepers....a decade or more(has it been that long?!), and adore the app. Unfortunately the version on my 1+ is really difficult to navigate. The back button is non-existent(multiple ppl cannot find it), and if I place the cursor in the search bar, the page I am on vanishes, and no amount of tapping or minimizing the keyboard will get me back to it. I have to reload it. That's more problematic than it may sound. Still - big fan

The ad block and everything is great, but I now can't use the VPN. This isn't the first time this happened, but it corrected itself a few weeks ago. I paid for a year's subscription, and my Google subscriptions shows that it should expire in February 2025, but the website is now saying I don't have an active plan. Whenever I try to launch the VPN, it now just asks me to purchase and browse plans. I have enjoyed the app otherwise, but this is frustrating.

Sometimes I want to break my phone using this app. It just freezes so I can't scroll. Also, when I put quotation marks in the search field: ignores them completely. Basic search functions. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going mad, then I go to Google with the exact same search and it gives me the exact source of the quote. Uninstalling Brave today, it's poor in quality and the AI function also compromises any integrity in a search. If this app is boasting privacy, remove the AI.
