Pros and cons of Bowser app for iPhone and iPad

Bowser app good for

Upgrade to iOS8.3 on iPad Air, it works completely. doesnt it run on a iPhone isnt it? anyway, this is nice WebRTC browser
WebKitErrorDomain error 101 on my iPhone iOS 8.2. Please help fix.

Some bad moments

The URL bar is hidden behind the page, only becomes (half) visible in landscape. Tried with jit.si, never got it to work.
When I updated my OS from 9.x to 10.1.1, it stopped working. plz fix it. or Apple should implement it.
The app is unusable on my iPad mini 4. It crashes on virtually any interaction. Thats very unfortunate, as it seems to be the only browser on iOS with WebRTC support.
This application only works 64-bit cpu iPhone&iPad. It should be mentioned as the limitation. And need to be able to use with an old? iOS devices ( of 32-bit cpu)
Nothing is working at all, neither their demo nor other webrtc services. And camera orientation is wrong in two of four cases.
design aesthetic oozes ericsson, clean and sharp. labeling it unstable and insecure is a disservice to the browser given its cool test features and generally stable operation. great work, ericsson research. cant wait to see improvements on this project.
