Technology Flash- it’s unsafe, problematic... but still very convenient. Many people like to play a simple online game or watch flash videos. I hated Flash, and therefore there is no native support for the technology on the iPhone and iPad. Problem? Not at all.

Flash-enabled browsers for iPad and iPhone

Puffin Web Browser

The browser has both paid and free version, so you can test the app first and then buy it. Fast and very functional browser. Adobe Flash technology is supported via Cloud technology ( Flash Player 11.9). The support for tabs (two in a row) is interestingly implemented; something similar is used in mobile Internet Explorer on Windows Phone. Files up to 20 MB can be uploaded to the cloud. Features include “Theater Mode”, a mouse simulator, and a virtual joystick. You can connect useful add-ons - for example, Pocket, Evernote, translator with foreign language and etc.

The free version of Puffin has an interesting limitation: it supports Flash, but only from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Opening hours may change without notice. You can remove the restriction for 129 rubles.

Photon Flash Player

At the "photon" trial version no, and the price - 129/169 rubles (and that at a discount) - is higher than that of Puffin. This is probably because the famous publication USA Today called Photon a “powerful and versatile alternative to Safari” with Flash support. You can see the flash content by clicking on the special button. Flash content can be configured depending on the speed of the Internet - value 1 will be chosen by users with low speed or an old device, value 6 - by those who are connected to Wi-Fi or a very good LTE network and want to watch everything in perfect quality. Here you can play Flash games from Facebook and VKontakte, use technology-based web applications, listen to music and watch movies through the Flash player.

Quite often you need to watch a video or game made using Adobe Flash technology on the iPad. It will not be possible to launch them right away, because... Apple's standard browser does not support Flash. How to run Flash on iPad? We'll talk about this now.

Safari is the default iPad browser and refuses to view Flash on websites. Instead of loading a video or game, a message appears on English language, which states that the browser is not supported by this device, and viewing the Flash page can only be done on laptops or computers.

Solving the Flash problem on iPad

The problem presented above has occurred to many users when they try to view websites built using Flash technologies. It turns out that you cannot yet view Flash using the Safari browser. Therefore, you will not be able to find, download and install a Flash player for a standard browser.

But, there is a solution. You can download some other browser that is capable of supporting Flash technology. For example, you can use browsers such as Puffin, iSwifter, SkyFire, Photon or Cloud Browse.

Why did Apple developers abandon Flash technology? Back in 2010, in an official statement, the Apple company led by Steve Jobs abandoned the Flash player. In addition, in 2011 there were rumors that Adobe Systems was abandoning further development of the player. And in 2012, Adobe officially abandoned Flash, relying on HTML5. Some time later in the same year, the Flash player was removed from store shelves Google Play.

The necessary browsers for iPad that contain Flash can be purchased from App Store. All these browsers have their own strengths and weak sides and the above examples are the most successful of all.

There are a lot of different sites on the Internet, many of them are created by webmasters based on regular Html code, but there are sites created based on Flash technologies. The latter are distinguished by their multimedia, animation and look attractive. Both work great in almost any browser on a computer or laptop, but on iPhones and iPads the situation is a little different.

The fact is that the standard iPhone and iPad browser, called Safari, refuses to view Flash sites. Having learned about this shortcoming, we decided to conduct an experiment and launch several websites made using Flash technology in the Safari browser of the iPad tablet.

Indeed, the standard iPad browser refused to view the content of Flash sites. Instead of a web page, Safari displayed a blank page or a page with a link to download Adobe Flash Player when loading.

But when I clicked on the link, it was not possible to download and install the flash player on the iPad; instead of installation, a message appeared in English:

We're sorry
This content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device. This content can be viewed on a desktop computer or on mobile devices that support Flash Player.
_________________________
What a pity
To view the content, Adobe Flash Player is required, which is not supported by your device. This content can be viewed on desktop computers or mobile devices that support Flash Player.

The same situation occurred when trying to view Flash sites on the iPhone. The Safari browser launched either an empty page with a blue cube, or offered to go through and download a Flash add-on, and as a result reported that the Flash player and iPhone were incompatible.

I think many people encounter a similar problem when trying to view sites built on Flash technology. Despite the fact that there are not so many flash sites on the Internet, users of iPads and iPhones want their high-tech device to be able to view all sites, just like any computer can.

We decided to do a little research and find out how to install flash player on ipad or what needs to be done to be able to watch flash on a tablet or Apple phone. It turns out that it is not yet possible to watch Flash in Safari, so you won’t be able to find and download a Flash player for the standard iPad browser, but you can install one of the third-party browsers that support Flash. Such browsers are available for both iPhone and iPad, below is a list of some of them:

There are not just many sites on the Internet, but an incredible number, some developed based on standard HTML code, while others were created using so-called flash technologies. Such technologies allow you to display website elements more vividly and colorfully. In particular, many resources containing video content or games use flash technologies.

Typically, viewing such animated resources with regular computer There are no problems, but users of iPhones or iPads experience inconvenience, because their devices do not have a flash player. Therefore, many are interested in how to install a flash player on iPhone on one's own. This can be done, you just need to know the sequence of actions.

As you know, you can view websites through a browser. i-devices have such a browser, and it is called Safari and is the standard default browser. So he doesn’t want to open the pages of flash sites.

Methods for installing Flash player

There are several ways to install the player. The first of them is related to jailbreaking, that is, without jailbreaking, installation will not be possible. After you have opened file system, in the Cydia repository manager you need to open the Manage tab, and in it find the Sources section. In this section, in the window that opens, you need to click the Edit source button and then add the repository.

On the page that opens you need to find an application or plugin called Frash and download it. Please note that this plugin will not open on all models, namely the iPhone 3G does not support it. Therefore, before installing, you must first find out whether your specific model will work with it correctly.

Another method is also easy: through iTunes we download an application called Cloud Browse, thanks to it, an iPhone user can view flash pages.

And finally, last method viewing videos and other similar content based on flash technologies - installing another browser on the iPhone that supports this technology. The most popular and well-working browser is recognized Puffin, which has a symbolic cost of $0.99. This application can be purchased in the App-Store if your device is not jailbroken, or you can simply download it through installous. By the way, the application works on all models.

Important notes - PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING:
- When you encounter a Flash website, REMEMBER TO CLICK ON the "Lightning Bolt" button to enter Flash streaming mode. Otherwise, you will see the standard Adobe message that Flash needs to be installed or upgraded as you are still in the native browser mode. Only by explicitly clicking on the "Lightning" button will you then be able to view Flash content.

If you have a slow Internet connection such as over a slow 3G network, remote browsing feature may have slow performance even though we have made great technological improvements to support Flash over low bandwidth. Flash mode works best over Wifi in a broadband network. Just because you have Wifi does not mean you have a fast network. Wifi is fast enough but your bottleneck is the wired connection that your Wifi sits on. However, you can still use Photon as a fast native browser for your regular browsing
