Important: Text Web does not currently support forms or cookies. We are hoping to add support for forms and cookies in the near future, but if you need to read websites that require a form submission or saving cookies, this app will not allow you to do so. (You can use “View Page in Safari” anytime if Text Web doesn’t display your page correctly.)

We offer online help through our help page. Features that are coming soon include support for anchor links, bookmarks, and more.

Text Web is created by Fab Apps in Washington, DC.
