Lunascape Caters to iPad Owners with New iLunascape Browser

While there are a few iPad browsers available for the user who wants more than Safari can offer, none has been as thoughtfully tailored and complete as iLunascape. It can be downloaded for free and, most importantly, it allows for tabbed browsing.

Tabbed Browsing in iLunascape

Up to six tabs can be opened simultaneously, and the interface enables users to simply tap on tabs to switch between them. The In Reach Interface has a toolbar at the bottom of the iPad screen, a feature that was added when designers realized how unwieldy the device was when trying to hold it with just one hand. With the new interface, users can use both hands to hold onto the bottom of the iPad while browsing, and the toolbar even includes left and right arrows that enable tab switching. Along with the tab feature come the abilities to open search results in a new tab and resurrect previous tabs automatically when iLunascape is opened.

Features Designed with the iPad in Mind

The simple but powerful interface of iLunascape demonstrates the designers’ ability to consider how the user interacts with the iPad, so many of the browser’s additional features are similarly unique and well-tailored to the device.

• “Snap and Go” Screen Capture: This feature allows iPad users to take screenshots of web pages, which are then automatically saved as readable photos. It was added to help compensate for the fact that Wi-Fi access is not always available and enables users to stock up on pages to read even when they know they won’t have Internet access.
• Simple Bookmarking: When users click on the star button located at the top of the browser, a drop-down menu offers an “Add to bookmarks” option. The second option in the menu allows users to set the current page as their home page. All bookmarks have an icon with a minus sign next to them, which can be tapped to bring up a “delete” option. Bookmarks can also be edited and rearranged.
• Lock Rotation: To prevent the iPad’s accelerometer from rotating the screen as the user moves, the “Setting” button at the bottom of the browser interface offers an on/off selection for lock rotation.
• Check Installed Version: The “?” button at the bottom of the interface brings up an “About” option that offers information on iLunascape and which version of it is currently installed.
