On every digital device, some piece of the screen is almost always lost to toolbars. Windows has its Task Bar. Each individual software has its title bar up top, usually following by the main menu bar. The iPhone’s browser has the same issues. As you can see on the right, a portion of the top and bottom of the small iPhone. The problem is exacerbated by using the iPhone in landscape mode, which is a key mode for iPhone accessibility.
There is a nifty little app, simply called Full Browser, which addresses this issue for 99 cents. Simply put, this device saves space. For a visually impaired user zooming into the text while in landscape mode, this makes a big difference. According the developers, forty percent of the screen’s space is saved.
Browse the web free from clutter! The Full Screen Web Browser from SOPODS is a true full-screen web browser available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This app gives you up to 40% of your screen’s real estate back by hiding the buttons, address and even the status bar when you don’t need them. Now you can take full advantage of the ample screen on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Take a look at the screen shot below to see the difference Full Browser makes.
I am surprised Apple has not implemented a full-screen mode in its Safari browser. Perhaps, they will eventually add this feature. Until then, Ful Browser is the way to go.
Full Browser is available on the iPhone or through the iTunes App Store. Read more iPhone accessibility reviews here.

I have no idea how I missed this app and am going right now to add it to my arsenal of iPhone apps!!! Thanks Tim for the great article
THIS APP ROCKS!!!!!!!! Just loaded it and don’t know how I lived without it…thanks again Tim!!
Excellent. I am glad my reviews have helped at least one person! Let mek now if you find any of the other review helfpul or find an app you think I should review. Thanks!
I googled this while deciding if I should buy the app, because the author’s description is somewhat lacking. It’s not clear here how to revert to regular toolbars though… I ended up at the Ars Technica review page instead.
Thanks for the heads up. I had some trouble figuring this out. A quick shake of the iPhone will bring the toolbars back.
