About Split Browser Trial

Cast videos to Chromecast & Nexus Player. Play videos from Split Browser on big screens!

Imagine if you could watch videos and write emails at the same time using your tablet! Or compare two web pages side by side, or take notes alongside a web page. Well, you can do all of that and more!

Split Browser is two browsers in one, working side by side. It lets you browse two web pages independent of each other. You can open links from one half into the other half. It also includes a notepad that allows you to take notes from a web page. You can open multiple tabs and swap them between two halves. You can also resize the two halves to suit your needs. Simply put, it is a powerful tool for multitasking.

Best suited for tablets and "phablets".

1/14/16 - SAMSUNG UPDATE: Split Browser Trial now works in newer Samsung devices in multi-window mode.

CHROMECAST & NEXUS PLAYER:

Requires Google Play services (4.2 or above) to be enabled. Look under Android Settings > Applications. Not all videos can be cast (Flash videos, YouTube, live streams, etc). Low resolution videos might not look the same on your HD TV as they look in a small screen. Play videos in full view to cast.

UPDATE 7/30/14: YouTube videos will not cast in Android 4.4 devices, please use the YouTube app.

Here's a quick rundown of its important features:

• Resize the two browser halves by dragging the yellow divider line.
• Rotate yellow divider (vertical/horizontal) independent of the screen orientation.
• Watch videos in full view within each half.
• Cast videos to Chromecast using the remote.
• Start new tabs and switch them between the two halves.
• Copy the current page over to the other half.
• Open links and bookmarks in the other half and/or in a new tab.
• Autocomplete address input from bookmarks and history.
• Press and hold back/forward arrows to view history and jump to a page in the list.
• Manage history across all tabs in one place, sorted reverse chronologically showing the time of last visit.
• Search for text in the web page in either halves separately.
• Separate clipboard option to paste the last 10 items copied.
• Open notepads in either halves to take notes and save/share them.
• Select text to copy and paste between two halves and notepads.
• Links to useful tools like calculator, translator, converters... etc.
• Remember form data and passwords.
• Clear cache, history, cookies, form data and passwords.
• View pages in desktop mode.

• Works in dual view in Samsung devices that support multi-window mode.
• Works in both cascade and dual views in Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablets.

This ad-free trial version closes every 10 minutes and allows only 3 bookmarks and 3 tabs. Using Chromecast the trial version can cast only 5 minutes of video at a time. Consider upgrading to the full version if you are satisfied with this trial version.

What are users saying about Split Browser Trial

N70%
by N####:

Bad browser

N70%
by N####:

Choosing exit from the menu leaves the video on a tab still playing. But when I reopen the browser the tab is nowhere to be seen even though the sound is still playing. The back button also doesn't work on a tab with video. Casting video to chromecast doesn't work either. Making a flash video fullscreen doesn't work.

W70%
by W####:

Works and has flash player

E70%
by E####:

Did not see my chromecast and would not play vids from web sites

Use it once and the second time it forces you to share or buy. Should give a months trial before forcing you to share or buy. I will not give my name to a share without having fully testing it

Y70%
by Y####:

Fast and small app. But no adblocker.

M70%
by M####:

I watched the video explaining how the app works before I downloaded it, but I couldn't get it to work correctly. They said it would play flash, mine would not. I went to a website advertising new products and when I clicked on something it sent me to where I could buy it instead of the description page like it should have. Web pages were constantly loaded in the background instead of just going there when clicking on links. Just not good.

A70%
by A####:

I thought Trial meant it allowed you to take it for spin? But 10 minutes? What's the point. Should just charge everyone instead of this. Since I feel a bit WTFed, I'll look some more.

Android tablets have needed this for a long time. True multitasking! However you need to increase the amount I can zoom out, so that I can view two FULL web pages side by side, without having to side scroll. Make this small tweak and I (and many others) will happily buy the full version :)

Y70%
by Y####:

Very very slow when web browsing or doing anything. Also froze and became unresponsive

D70%
by D####:

I just try this app out and i like it. But i think this app should be free without buying it.

Y70%
by Y####:

While using the browser, i got up for 5 minutes. After I unlocked my Lenovo tab, it had a small pop-up box that showed 3 options. All of them close the browser and block trial use. Even 1 star rating is high. Allow me to use the trial at least

I have android version 5.0 however the developers have contacted me and are trying to work out a solution. They offered me a refund and have great customer service ethics. If they get this app bug fixed I would love to use it and give them 5 stars!

I like where you guys are going with this. Very niche, but it can be better. Needs: -smoothing -Setting for one browser Window only. -casting video in full screen works, but video cast oversize making most online videos muddy and blurry. Needs scaling adjustment. Coding issue. Can be fixed with a display slider in remote control for different types of displays. -Browser bar could look better... cosmetic opinion. :P + on the work.+ for idea and development. +1 while casting, a window remote Control

Works great and smooth

T70%
by T####:

While a 10 minute trial is a rather short amount of time to develop an opinion I'd say that the application is pretty amazing with no lag and a very nice user interface. I like that you can drag the middle from side to side in order to make one side bigger than the other. Will definitely consider purchasing the full product.
