Split Browser
Imagine if you could watch videos and write emails at the same time using your tablet! Or compare two web pages side by side, or take notes alongside a web page. Well, you can do all of that and more!
Split Browser is two browsers in one, working side by side. It lets you browse two web pages independent of each other. You can open links from one half into the other half. It also includes a notepad that allows you to take notes from a web page. You can open multiple tabs and swap them between two halves. You can also resize the two halves to suit your needs. Simply put, it is a powerful tool for multitasking.
Best suited for tablets and "phablets".

Requires Google Play services (4.2 or above) to be enabled. Look under Android Settings > Applications. Not all videos can be cast (Flash videos, YouTube, live streams, etc). Low resolution videos might not look the same on your HD TV as they look in a small screen. Play videos in full view to cast.
UPDATE 7/30/14: YouTube videos will not cast in Android 4.4 devices, please use the YouTube app.

Dual browser, that has a great UI that lets you switch windows, open up a selected URL in the first window in the second window, etc... Needs bookmark directory system, and no import of other bookmarks that I can see, though...on a Galaxy S4/JellyBean 4.3, using multi-window, you can open up Chrome or Opera, and this app, and have 3 seperate browser windows open, and it's still fast...impressed...
Extremely useful and great on the ball customer service.
After I switched from my galaxy S3 to the Nexus 5, I missed the dual window feature. This is the perfect solution! It runs very smoothly and I bought it without hesitation after using the trial version. My only suggestion is a text reflow when zooming. Other than that, I would recommend this to anyone.
Paid for it all I get is split browser has stopped working happy to change rating if it gets fixed
I know it's called split browser but if you could find a way to multi app, that'd be a "shut up and take my money" typa deal, and I mean my own apps not garbage that no uses, but either way, I'm hooked after the trial
This browser vast your money and wast your time. All people please download (Puffin) web browser
This was After the Google Play Services update. I loved this feature! Please bring it back so I can give s/b a 5 star rating!
Common guys! This browser is very buggy. let aside the Chromecast functionality, I can't even open and close tabs properly, it gets stuck every minute or so and I have to keep existing which most of the time doesn't help the app to come out of freeze!
Didn't realize the app searches the web page for the video and offers to cast it itself rather than the user finding and pressing the maximize button. Maybe highlight that feature in the relase notes. Great app none the less!
Great app... just expecting to watch movies from solarmovies.so. That will fullfill my need for this app. Will rate this 5 stars then.
Not a big fan of buying mobile apps. I have used the trial version multiple times and everytime it proved that it is worth a buy. Works great with chromecast for einthusan.
Hangs after first video. Need to clear data to use again.. Questioning why I paid so much for this app that hasn't ever worked right
I bought this app however it doesnt work with chromecast
I purchased this browser specifically to watch video in chromecast it doesnt do that.
It one of the many first app l still use today. Great job...
Excellent!! Hands down better than Vget and chrome beta
Exactly what I was looking for. Great job. Thank you.
complete waste of money the
Works great, but some sites/videos have the full screen option missing. So I can't cast. Needs a fix/solution!!!!!
Thanks!
Yo I'm happy i found this app in Google play store. I have a samsung galaxy tab 3 SM-T210R wifi in it don't have muti windows. But split browser make my table look like the sprint galaxy tab 3 multi windows. Anybody that have a samsung galaxy tab 3 SM-T210R u will love this app i give it five stars
excellent app and superb customer service ,take advantage of the free 10 min trial version and you see it is well worth the money and worth the 5 stars
Bookmarks are extremely difficult to find, and primitive. "Support" did not respond to request for help.
It works as you explained. Large room for improvement, like watch video one side and photo gallery the other. Do it and I'll pay if cost effective.
I am unable to input letters from keyboard in web pages on HTC DNA. *Update: Thanks for the quick fix I am now able to input letters in web pages. Problem fixed.
I never buy apps from the Play Store I always use the free version. I like this one so much I decided to pay for it. Unfortunately it has a major flaw whenever my samsung galaxy tablet flips over from one of you to the next horizontal or vertical YouTube video automatically resets to the beginning of whatever you are watching. This is annoying and needs to be fixed for it to get the 5 star rating it could get. I would love someone to get back to me.
I've been using it for a few hours and there's very little the developer left out. Everything works as it should, and things like tabs and bookmarks are easily accessible. A few suggestions: Give it a more Holo, minimal look, add an option to automatically open a link in the other half, and a private mode.
I read a few reviews before trying this app and customer service was given a high review along with how the app does. Before I purchased, I had a question and it was answered very quick and with genuine interest. Glad I purchased.
Worked as it should
It crashes ALOT for me. I really only use it to cast to my TV. I know it used to be stable for me...
