DeBurrow

★★⯪☆☆

A really basic Gopher client for Android. Features bookmarks and history, and not much else. I’m not sure there’s even a way to change the home page. The UI is cramped, and my URL bar usually looks like “gopher://go”. It does use icons to distinguish different link types, though it doesn’t distinguish local from remote links. Search is supported, and it will download files that it can’t display.

I keep getting tripped up by the system back button not being mapped to the app back functionality, and going back to the launcher instead. Also by the lack of a pull-to-refresh gesture.

Lagrange is much more usable (and more functional), plus of course it supports other small-net protocols too.

DeBurrow appears to be a vibe-coded update of Pocket Gopher (the Java ME app, not the Android app with the same name), built alongside clients for several older macOS versions.
