The app is very useful for displaying four browser windows in one iPad screen and two in one iPhone screen. The only problem is that it crashes the moment I tap the Bookmark next to the plus (+) sign on my iPad. A quick fix would solve the issue. Keep it up. :)

I'm a teacher who uses the same four websites everyday, throughout the day. I need all four from minute to minute as I teach. This allows me to easily switch between websites. You can work side by side if you want but I find it easier toggle from full screen back down to split screen. Being able to do this with one click is what wins me over. I can see all four sites and then instantly work in one and then return to the others. The interface is also more aesthetically pleasing and smoother than the other side-by-side app I tried. With that said, tapping the bookmark button will immediately crash the app every time. Since I don't need this for browsing and use the same sites every time, its not a problem for me. When I close the app and open it again the same sites are already there where I left off. For teachers or anyone presenting, this would a great way to have your website on one side and then show backchannel conversations on the other. Or for anyone have your email on one side all day long while you browse. Not perfect but I'm hopeful an update will improve it.

In these days of misinformation, conspiracy theories, and everyone wanting to either control the information sources or what the facts are, this app is a fine way of comparing the same information from different sources and perspectives. This capability alone makes the split screen ideal, for serious study and investigation (maybe four or five screens within screens next - I love the concept).
