Dolphin excels bookmark management. Add bookmarks, create multiple nested folders

You can set Dolphin to browse desktop versions of the web sites.

Pros
- Of course the gestures detection & opening your favorite sites are one of the coolest features of this app!
- Webzine makes Safari Reader in iOS 5 looks primitive…
- User friendly interfaces using similar swipe left or right to see bookmarks & tabs (Reminds me of Charms in Windows 8)
- Tabbing websites good for multiple website surfing!
Cons
- Webzine’s articles do not have time & date stamps on them which I believe it’s a minor bug on this version v1.0.1
- You can only add 8 sections for the webzines which is kind of limited
- I think I can’t remember all of my gesture list in the future when I add too many custom gestures haha but no big issue here
- No add block but it’s ok for me, advertisement is IMPORTANT for bloggers & websites to survive
- No refresh button inside Webzine for time sensitive feeds like twitter & facebook
- Cannot add personal websites inside webzine or own RSS feeds or Google Reader Feeds?
- Desktop version options doesn’t seems to work (v1.0.1) for facebook & twitter
- Not sure what’s the option “Stay on screen” means
- Cannot add websites that you loaded to “Readitlater” or “Instapaper”
Overall, I find this browser fast & snappy with cool gestures that feels futuristic & practical at the same time however it’s far from perfect with room for improve in the future versions.
However, it’s currently FREE on the iTunes AppStore & definitely a must have for all iPad users!! Go get it NOW!
