How to Make it Possible to Play Flash Videos on iPad/iPhone with Ease

If you want to watch Flash videos or play Flash games on your iPhone or iPad, you'll come across a bit of a problem: iOS doesn't offer support for Flash.Flash wasn't supported because it lacked full support for touch screens, it created security and performance issues, it ate into battery life and it created an extra layer between the developer and the operating system. Now that Adobe has dumped Flash for Mobile, it's safe to say we won't ever see official Flash support on the iPad, but that doesn't mean you can't get Flash to work. We'll look at a few ways to play Flash on the iPad.

Flash Player
Most who come across Flash content on a mobile device will avoid it, but for times when you might urgently need to access it here are a couple of solutions to try.

None of these solutions let you play Flash natively on your device, they transcode it remotely and let you watch or work with the results. Be warned, the process can make the Flash on iOS playback experience a little laggy (just like real Flash), but you can at least access the content with just about enough control to play Flash-based games. You can also use alternative browsers to access other Websites, like any other browser.

Photon Browser
Photon Browser seems to be the most popular choice for iPad and iPhone users that require Flash support. It's a £4.99 app for iPad and £3.99 for iPhone that acts as a good alternative browser to Safari, and also has a Flash mode that you turn on by tapping the lightning bolt icon in the top right corner.

Admittedly, turning on Flash does make the browser a little slow, and it's not the most attractive interface, but it certainly does the trick. We were able to create a Moshi Monster with no trouble at all on our iPad and iPhone using Photon Browser, though.

The Photon Browser also allows you to use the on-screen keyboard for keyboard commands to the Flash app and to choose from different game controls.

Puffin Web Browser
The Puffin Web Browser has both a free version and a paid version, which removes the advertisements from the free version. Not only does it have support for playing Flash video and running Flash games, it gives you the choice of a virtual Trackpad or virtual Gamepad in order to better control those games.

Unlike the Photon Browser, Puffin is a fairly good web browser. It is lightning quick with a strong user interface. Unfortunately, access to bookmarks is strangely hidden within the menu system instead of appearing on display on the main screen, which is enough for many users to run back to Safari. And if users need another reason to use another browser, it will be the advertisements, which can get annoying. Though the easy solution to that dilemma would be to purchase the paid version.
