4/5Pretty Good
I was pleasantly surprised by the UX of the app, mainly around the gestures for sliding to add tabs, share sheet, more details button and much more. It feels like Safari with the great Perplexity assistant AI capabilities mixed together. It feels native and not thrown together, which was what I was most concerned about. I do wish that sliding up from the url bar would open all the tabs like Safari does, so that’s some feedback to the team. I also noticed the starry black background when you’re looking at all tabs gives me some motion sickness and clashes with my phone in light mode. Maybe consider settings to disable motion and have light mode background options? I LOVE the look of it, just the dark in light mode and motion make it a little hard to focus. Overall I’d say this was an amazing first version that really feels natural to use. I still need plenty of time to learn all the little features and quirks, but I am pleasantly surprised and happy with the app thus far.

5/5Long-time Perplexity User
I've been using Perplexity for years now, and I can constantly say it is my favorite compared to ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and more. I work in digital marketing and have used them all and come back to perplexity again and again. Now, with the introduction of Comet, which I've been patiently waiting for, I have never been more pleased with my personal tech stack. Perplexity AI is fully integrated and extremely useful in browsing situations. The onboarding process was so seamless. It pulled most of my browsing data, bookmarks, and tabs directly from Google Chrome, which I previously used and made it so easy to make the switch. I have it on my Mac Mini M4 and my iPhone 15 Pro and absolutely love it. It also has "Computer" which is super exciting as well! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

2/5Fractional as Useful as the Desktop Version
I’d like to preface this by saying that the desktop version of Comet I’ve been using since it’s inception and I found it to be a priceless edition, to our SAAS stack. That said, it could most certainly use vertical tabs, but that being its weakest point and the sole point of keeping it from replacing my current browser which is Arc. I’m still hopeful that it’s evolution will find it to be a full replacement for arc given arc is no longer developing its app. Not to get to the point of this review I was very hopeful to see what Comet could accomplish on the iPhone and very disappointed to find that yet again, a failure to understand the layout and importance of organization of tabs is the mobile version of Comet's, major downfall. To explain, if you are a power-user who on the desktop version uses tab groups, or for that matter, simply maintain a large number of tabs opened, and you also wish to sync your desktop and your mobile device (because who wouldn’t?), Then you will be as I was, inundated with perhaps what you will find to be the sloppiest presentation of your synced tabs as they simply are listed in a manner that screams, hey hear it perplexity, tabs are an afterthought; further echoing Perplexity's desktop treatment of tabs. Going back to Arc, the only real benefit that Comet has over arc, is its ability to open an assistant which you can chat with while continuing to browse a website. Yes, Comet will allow you to summarize a page but so will a simple pinch of a website on Arc. As I said, I remain hopeful that this browser will evolve, but until the devs recognize the importance of elegant and efficient tab management, it's a hard pass as a Default Browser and will remain a complimentary one. I'm rooting for them though!

5/5Beyond a Browser: So Good It Feels Like Magic
Comet has very quickly become the browser I actually want to live in every day. I use it both at work (healthcare/IT and operations) and at home, and it has already replaced a bunch of tools I used to juggle. Instead of bouncing between a traditional browser, an AI chatbot, and my notes, I can stay in one place and let Comet do the tab wrangling and research for me. It is fantastic for deep dives where I have lots of sources open: I can have the assistant summarize pages, compare vendors, pull out key details from documentation, or draft messages and policies based on what I am looking at, all inside the browser. On iOS, it is exactly what I wanted: the same intelligence I have on my Mac, now in my pocket. Being able to quickly ask questions about a page I am viewing, summarize long articles when I am on the go, or talk through ideas with the assistant has made my iPhone feel like a much more powerful work device. It is also great for personal stuff like trip planning, product research, and all the random curiosity rabbit holes I fall into. I love that Comet feels like a thoughtful, modern browser first, with AI woven in where it genuinely saves time instead of getting in the way. The design is clean, the assistant is fast, and it is clear the team is building toward a serious agentic future of browsing. There are still a few early rough edges (like sync on iOS occasionally acting up), but none of them outweigh how much time I am saving and how much smoother my workflows feel. For anyone who lives in their browser and does a lot of research, writing, or decision making, Comet is absolutely worth trying.

5/5So far so good
[Update] Biggest issue so far for me: please add/update selection on search engine; I find it annoying I’m just trying to search something simple, NOT have Perplexity answer for me; people might find this a feature but I’m sure this is just another pointless reason using up credits when I’m just trying to search for something simple. [Original Review] Been waiting for this release; I’ve extensively used Comet on desktop, now as my default for a while. On iOS, it’d be nice if you can swipe up the url bar to bring up all the tabs, just like Safari, could free up the space for the button that does this; right now it’s a two part process: press tabs button, all tabs show up, then press new tab to get to a new tab; but nice that the swipe left for a new tab is there. Also add paste & go, cut back on the suggestion to ask Perplexity about what you’re searching, especially if you have another default search engine selected; only allow for follow up Q’s if you have Perplexity selected as a search engine because then the Assistant button becomes redundant; but can see they want users to search through Perplexity for credit usage… Will keep updating this review.
