Flagship Skyfire app reaches 10 million downloads for iOS and Android; Skyfire 4 for iOS has new features
Share:
Skyfire says it is dedicated to using the cloud to help both users and carriers save money. First launched in June 2010, the Skyfire app has proven to be very popular. Shortly after launch, both Skyfire for the Apple iPhone and Skyfire for the Apple iPad hit number one in the Apple App Store and its app for the Apple iPad has been the number one paid utility app for the last 10 months. The Skyfire browser is the first software designed for the Apple iPhone that allows users to view videos designed for the Adobe Flash Player.
Skyfire 4.0 for iOS offers a new feature, a video-recommendation engine that uses your past viewing history to make recommendations on videos to watch. The list of recommendations is available from the Video button on the Skyfire toolbar. Videos on the page currently being viewed show up first on the list. Skyfire even takes a look at what videos are trending when making suggestions. Consider it a Pandora for video clips.
To download the new Skyfire 4.0 on your Apple iPhone or Apple iPad, click on the sourcelinks. The latter costs $4.99 to download while the iPhone version costs $2.99.

If you read his comments you will see that he went to the app store which we all lnow belongs to apple. So either his little toy cant handle the app because apple has set the phone up to exclusively use safari and anything else will forceclose...thats my take...because skyfire is not exclusive to android...its an app in the android market and app store...but people like taco..the miz..italk will never get it..oh and you want see them this morning posting..they are camped out in front of apple to get their brand new iphone4s which is the same phone they are gonna upgrade to For a two year contract

I like skyfire on ios… it allows the few flash videos i want to see without always having flash clogging the browser… they did a gret job with it but i could have sworn they dismissed it in favor of some email in service?

I haven't been too impressed. I have cloudbrowse which works on all websites and you can skip ahead and back. Works much better and is free.

Thanks for the tip taco. I love skyfire and will try out cloudbrowse and see how it compares. Its going to be tough to beat no doubt.

The first sentence reads 10 million downloads in 150 countries,not 150 million countries.Time for a new prescription?

iOS5 update, while exciting, has created a number of unforeseen issues for many apps. The crash issue expereinced by some Skyfire users has been resolved and we have submitted a new version for approval that will be released soon. Thank you for your patience and support.
