Thanks for the heads up. Is there going to be any way to have the bookmarks appear on top at all times, similar to Safari?
...must have been my email to Mr. jobs...
Love the logo/icon, it's better than Safari's...

It still does it for me whether in portrait or landscape even after I just updated
Well....
I downloaded the update thinking it would make the app experience better....but Rich, I am sorry to say that it didnt make it better...it made it freakin awesome!
Every issue I was having has been rectified. Tap and hold consistency has been fixed on every site that was problematic for me. Gestures now work perfectly and accurately. So far, havent experienced any memory issues from too many tabs (and i wasnt being an idiot opening 20 tabs just my normal browsing where I open 8-10).
The result? I just moved safari off the dock and replaced it with Atomic.
Now I am looking forward to some of the more UI based improvements I know you have coming...great work.

Hey bud
I just tried all 3 facebook sites (mobile, touch and full) and they all work fine. You try restarting the iPad to see if its some weird glitch?
It happens to me too till I switched to another browser type being recognized. I picked a random one (mobile - ipad) and it works fine now.
Awesome browser Atomic. I've been using it for weeks now and replaced it in my dock for Safari since the beginning. Thanks again.
Hell freaking yea! I'm loving it...the gestures are working great with the short gesture option and I love the 3 finger full screen on/off plus how the bookmarks pop up now. Very cool all around.
One thing I did notice is that YouTube does not seem to work if you follow a link from Facebook...it opens a new tab that goes to the Youtube link but it gives the error of "Not Available on Mobile".

Not sure if there would be a way to fix this...maybe by having the link somehow launch the YouTube app? Is that something that you may be able to program in?

Lol good job with Steve
They approved the full and lite version at exactly the same time. I'm guessing the reason for the holdup was they were testing both.
I'm glad its working better
There still is one freeze issue which I didn't notice until after I submitted to Apple. It will be fixed in the next build. I may make another bug fix release before I get to the good stuff. Shortening URLs in Twitter stopped working because the site I used (tr.im) is no longer accepting new URLs.
I would love to see a bookmark bar. I would be a happy as a pig in mud if you can make that happen, everything else is A+ great, love the new app logo, looks great in the dock.
So I've tried rebooting the device and then changing the view browser as option . This is hwat I noticed when I change the browser setting to mobile safari, I can type on the "what's on your mind" box, but the fb chat doesn't work. However when i change it to safari desktop or firefox or any desktop browser i can't type in the "what's on your mind" box but fb chat works. Weird. For Now I'm using stoic when i browse regularly but when i want to update my status i use safari. Lol.
Btw great work you've done with this app!! Def one of my fav app, the tabs are amazing!!!

Does anyone know how to adjust brightness in AtomicBrowser? Different website have different text contrast. Sometimes it's too dark and sometimes it's too bright. Sometimes I need higher brightness when watching videos. It will be much helpful to be able to adjust brightness in AtomicBrowser. Thanks!
I'm able to reproduce the status issue now when not using a standard iphone/ipad UA. I wonder why facebook disabled chat for the iPad since it works. Hopefully, they'll enable it after some testing.
You don't need to reboot after setting identify as. However, it would be a good idea to clear your cookies.
Sorry, there isn't any setting to adjust the brightness.
Atomic: Just wanted to say again how awesome this browser is with the new update...it feels like we got a new OS update from Apple, it has that much excitement attached to it. It feels quicker...I love the 3 finger gesture again and the logo is awesome. Very very cool.
By the way...do you accept donations? I feel like the app is too cheap for how good it is but I can see you wanting as many people as possible to download it so you have to keep the price low. You know how you have "Rate This App" in the settings? You should have a "Donate" button as well to help support the cause. I'll donate $10.

Quick question: Can the url history drop down list be changed to match the color theme of the broswer on the iPhone? I seems to default to black even if you are using the Safari color theme.
Also, when you launch the browser, both on the iPad and iPhone, for a split second it shows the black default color theme before it changes to the one you have chose, Safari in my case.

SWEET, you have done a great job with the update! It's nice to talk to the developer in the forums and help out with bugs and a wish list, this is by far the best buck I have ever spent! I hope you do very well with this app. You deserve it. Thanks much!
I'd love to try this out but can anyone speak to the security of the browser? Specifically Opera stores data we enter on their server. Though they claim it's encrypted there were too many holes and "what if's". How is this information handled with Atomic?
Great update indeed. The popup/hold is indeed much better (although I think a 0.2s decrease would even be better, can't this be added as a setting, so we can decide ourself)
Some points to work on for the next version:
Some points to work on for the next version:
- The zoom in is still limited compared to safari.
- A quick way to show the bookmarks or addressbar in fullscreen, now I have to get out of full and then type/open a bookmark, and then go to FS again.
- Option to move navbar to top or bottom.
- "Active" tab always on screen (if you have too many tabs opened in background, you lose the current active tab and have to swipe the tabbar to find it again)
- Toggle to open all links clicked as background tab.
- Save passwords (encrypted).
- Organize bookmarks
- Suggested words for searches
- "smart" url-bar. It now shows everything from history. How bout grouping urls from one site together until it's the only option left? And how bout adding bookmarks into occasion. Just like how firefox does it.
- Adblock using adblock filtering subscriptions from firefox
Thank goodness they changed their App Icon with latest update, although I'm still not overly keen on it.
The App itself is grand but has a number of quirks that irritate as much as Safari tbh.
Some forms like Amazons Kindle management page don't work.
When trying to type into the address bar or any other search field it sometimes has a habit of undoing itself or getting stuck, meaning you have to retype - or have to click out of the field you were typing in, and then back in.
I like the fact you can choose a custom color.
I would like to be able to hide the bottom tool bar alone.
Full screen mode is ok, but the buttons are very antiquated and look aesthetically unpleasing on the bottom.
MultiSwipe is hit and miss. Often if a page is stretched horizontally, then a horizontal swipe usually registers as a pan or zoom, more often than not. Same with vertical mutitouch swipes.
Good app though for its price, but not perfect.
