Report an issueMultitouch is a fast mobile browser for the daily use! It gives easy and fast access to your important bookmarks. With native FULLSCREEN mode and MULTITOUCH input gestures! Don't waste any pixel! (!Not (yet) iPad compatible!)
The whole user interface is optimized for a very fast and convenient browsing experience. It got innovative bookmark and history screens. The built in google search uses the mobile google search, unlike the safari which fires the desktop google site up.
USER OPINIONS
"I tested all of the fullscreen browser, and I thought this one was the best. Simple Interface, fast operation, and responsive developer. I'm sticking with this one."
"Truly a groundbreaking browser! Great features"
"This has everything I've been looking for in a fullscreen browser! TRULY FULLSCREEN!! No stupid icon to click on to bring up the URL field. Very intuitive gesture commands, Accelerometer disable option!"
Thank you guys!

INSTRUCTIONS:
Touch with 3 fingers anywhere at the screen to open the bookmark screen. There you may enter a url, start a google search. Or just tap on a site your favorite site. There is no need to add a bookmark manually. Every page you surf to, shows automatically up.
For every visit the bookmark gets a higher rank in the "Hit Count" view. You may view your visited pages historically by visit date. So you use the "Date" view. I've you like certain websites you may add it to your "Favs" view either by using the "2-finger-swipe-down" gesture or you switch in the "Edit" mode and just tap on each page you like. Fav-pages are shown bold in every view.
The date under the page title shows your very last visit date of the particular page.
CUSTOMIZE
you may enable the scroll to top / bottom feature, set a custom google search language, or enable / disable "remember last orientation" --> this feature allows you to use fgBrowser as a landscape browser. As it remembers your last orientation and autorotation state. A short flashing lock / unlock icon informs you about the current setting (with the remember last orientation feature ON)

8 of 25You never really need to open the menus a few swipes does it all! Very fast and easy to use. I would like to see a stop button gesture added for when you click the wrong link. Also, the scroll to top and scroll to bottom are a little difficult to use. Maybe click in corner for this feature. I am very happy with it overall!
I downloaded this specifically to take advantage of gestures and because it states it supports iPad. Gestures work I suppose but it does not support fullscreen browsing on the iPad. It is the reduced window and looks horrible at 2x. Do not waste your money until they update this for true iPad support.
I went to look at photos from a google search and the program will not move from the photo I selected. I can't clear it using settings, and when I try to go start up the program, it jus shows the picture.
I have a 3GS and crashes like crazy I can't even get past google.
This App while neat in the sense that you can do full screen, is very hard to operate. Interfaces all by finger movements and does not allow you to type in a random any website address. I do not recommend this app and it was a waste of my 99 cents.
To start off, this is a great app. However, a few improvements could make it better. First, a setting to enable a page loading progress bar would be nice. Second, it would be great if tabs were implimented. If/when tabs are added, you should also be able to choose to open a link in a new tab by holding the link, like 3.0 safari. If either of these are implimented, this will be a 5 star app.
Great interface, responsive. Really is fullscreen. I like this so much better than Safari. I like the "do not have to shake" feature.
This is a very nice browser that I use often. While I still use safari for most of my browsing, this is a very nice browser.
