Sony Xperia Active with Android 4.04. Tiny, free and add free application that does exactly what it is supposed to do. Basically, it is as if the application types for you in the browser address bar the path of the HTML file saved in your device internal storage when you open this file from your file manager. Tried from Total Commander with success. Therefore the result will depend on the browser that you select, and not on this application. Will not work with Opera Mini as Opera Mini loads from Opera servers the pages after optimization by Opera servers: Opera Mini cannot open HTML files saved on internal storage. You can select the default browser that will open the file, or you can make the application display all the available browsers for you to choose. You can donate if you want but it is not mandatory. On Motorola Defy+ with Android 2.3, and ES File Explorer this application is not necessary, the HTML file will open in the default browser when launched from ES File Explorer. Thanks to the developers.

Does what it was supposed to. I had a problem getting Firefox to open a page, which was frustrating: but the issue turned out to be that FF lacked storage permission. That granted, my HTML opened like it should - only to show me that my code was broken. ???? Fixing it now though. Well done✌️

This app allows a user to view HTML they have created on the device on all browsers on the device giving a better overall picture of the way the HTML will behave before posting it and discovering it appears awful or crazy on some browsers. Its weakness is it occasionally offers an app that is not a browser such as blue light filter

So I don't know nothing about the app. Fig I'd try it due to it being Free....Then again tht thought went out the window...Due to the first thing it does is ask for money. So needless to say I Uninstalled it.

Working on a website but I'm unable to pull my files and stylesheets attached to the html file. Would rate 5 star if I was able to see the full website.

This app is not actually a browser but rather a browser selector for viewing s local HTML file. Not all browsers work. For instance Opera Mini does not work. Full Opera works very well. Some browsers bunch the text to the left such as stock browsers before kit kat. You may want to download a browser for viewing html rather than for searching the web.

At times, I want to use Chrome to open an .html file that I put on my tablet. For some reason, Chrome was not included in the default list of available programs. Open in Browser does exactly what I want: it gives me a choice of browsers that includes Chrome. I'm delighted to have found this program!

Allows me to open a saved .html file on my Samsung Galaxy S6 active, using the Chrome browser, then print it or even create a PDF from there. Slick.

You shouldn't be forced to donate, especially without being able to at least try the app first.

T70%
by T####:

Html viewer was selected to open .htm files and that would not handle mailto: and other links. This app reset that and then next time I opened the file it asked what app to use and I could select Browser (or Chrome). Perfect.

by Z####:

If you are into writing HTML this lets you see it in all of your browsers except the system HTML viewer which is usually offered by the system. I would like to see the system HTML viewer added.

Y70%
by Y####:

okay, this apps seems like it wont work without a donation but it actually does. fix this because I nearly uninstalled it

N70%
by N####:

This is useful when creating HTML because you get to see how various browsers render it. They are not all the same. Opera defaults to serif font. Most other browsers use sans-serif.
