Surge for iPhone Is Here

By Matt Martensen

Surge for iPhone open on an iPhone

Surge for iPhone is now on the App Store, and it’s spectacular.

Surge for iPhone is a trifecta of awesomeness: gorgeous design, state-of-the-art features and functionality, and equity for your taps. Each navigation event that you log or import builds your ownership stake in User Cooperative.

Approved by Apple.

Every app on the App Store goes through App Review first. Reviewers at Apple install the app, use it, and check it against Apple’s App Review Guidelines, its rulebook for safety, performance, design, and privacy. Does the app work as described? Does it disclose what data it collects and how that data is used? Does it ask before touching anything personal? Does it hold up? If not, it doesn’t ship.

Surge passed. That’s a testament to our code, our security, and the user-owned framework at Surge’s core: a browser that tells you exactly what it logs and gives you equity for it.

That makes Surge the first user-owned browser on the App Store. It cleared the same bar as every app you already trust on your iPhone.

Download Surge, use it the way you want, and tell us what you think. We want Surge to be the best mobile browsing experience the world has ever known, so don’t hold back. Email me directly at matt@usercooperative.com, or contact us. Screenshots welcome.

Thanks to everyone who tested the beta and helped get us here. Can’t wait to hear from you.
