Hi 
Standard bookmark support will arrive very soon on Opera for iOS.
It will include a universal 'star' function from menu that allows you to add a favorite/bookmark to either the Speed Dial or the Bookmark section.
You will be able to add, edit and move and will be able to create your own bookmark folder structure and organize your favorites.
The bookmark feature needs to be in place in order for us to start working on sync which will be the next step.
Just for clarification:
There is currently no sync support on Opera for iOS as present on desktop and android browsers. Signing in to the Opera account website will not sync the browser, just give access to the account via webpage. There is no special native app to webpage integration.
Note: The only syncing available is via the Flow feature that syncs Flow messages and tabs on connected devices.
Why no sync on iOS:
Its an old legacy issue, other platforms are based on the chromium open source and gets sync as part of the package (with a lot of actual coding on top), on iOS this needs to be implemented from scratch to play with the other platforms. Its not a trivial task, but will take months to implement.
When can we expect it:
We intend to start working on the account/sync task the next few weeks and after that it will take quite some time of development and testing before we can launch. A lot of testing. Lets hope for a christmas present.
We are happy to announce we are starting to rollout a new beta version of Opera for iOS with an overhauled user interface.

Opera 3.3.0 in forum beta channel test
We are about to release a new version. If you are in our Beta forum test group on TestFlight, please let us know what you think.
The new version includes:
The TestFlight release will be available soon, when it passes app review.
In case you missed it:
Standard bookmarks support was added on Oper Browser for iOS in April.
Sync and import bookmarks feature is on the roadmap for this fall.

Hi
I am sorry for the inconvenience.
We can indeed confirm that the Tab UI started to open at top position, its a bug/regression and we will work on a fix asap. The tabUI should focus on the tab you are currently on.
Since we need to both fix and test it before release i expect that the update will be early next week.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Best regards,
Opera
Thank you for reporting this!
Its a known issue and we have a fix ready that is about to be released. However, the update is currently stuck in Appstore app review, so it got delayed. Once we have sorted out the issues it will be available.
The bottom search layout is only available on phone devices. Given the form factor and the heft of such device its hard to hold with one hand and navigate it from the bottom. We will look at iPad optimizations at a later date, for the next few releases we are keeping things as is.
We have disabled the recent tabs from showing on startpage, we will address that use case differently from before, most likely by adding one shortcut on startpage that gives access to all recent tabs from desktop, two steps but more choice.
You can still access recent tabs from the Tab UI
If you swipe sideways (to the right) the rest of your speed dials will be available, the Speed dials are now paginated, horizontally.
So from a UX perspective, some speed dials may not be visible directly, depending on the screen size, maybe, 1 or 2 rows would have been shown, but otherwise a user would need to scroll downwards.
With the new startpage design, the scroll is changed to horizontal instead. Almost the same.
The reason for the change is that we want to de-clutter the startpage, while still being able to show limited product info, news etc at a first glance without being too distracting.

Then you should wait for next update, in which we will have a fallback.
@jonaballen said in Opera app isnt starting anymore since 6.1:
P.S.
At least one case seems to still hit the "memory wall" even after the 6.1.2 fix and we have another fix in the next update .That will lower memory use to the absolute minimum, but also prolong the migration process even further. The browser will attempt to upgrade normally first and if it fails and get killed, the next start will detect the failed attempt and try upgrade with minimal memory use resulting in a slower but safer process.

Hi
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
A small number of users that upgraded to 6.1.0 and 6.1.1 have reported the same issue. Startup freeze/crash with blank screen and spinner appearing.
There is a fix in the latest version 6.1.2. Have you tried to update?
The issue is triggered by a database upgrade and occurs during the data migration process. If you have a very large database (after long use of the browser) it can consume too much memory, so the system kills it.
We tested the process extensively before 6.1.0 release, but unluckily, we did not manage to reproduce and identify the issue until after users reported the problem.
The 6.1.2 update/fix will minimise memory usage and add several guardrails to avoid the issue. However, the process will take longer time because we need to split it up to avoid memory over consumption. So the longer history and the more tabs you had, the longer it takes. In the extreme cases, it could be up to a minute.
Kind regards,
Opera Team

Speed Dials are paginated and can be scrolled horizontally.
There are page controls (dots) below the speed dials and they work the same as on ios home pages.
You can swipe on the speed dial (area) or tap and drag on the page control to fast-scroll between SD pages.
We will look into fitting more speed dials on the same page, and other improvements, but it will remain horizontal scrolling.
@pe73 potentially, but it takes more space
How about add folder support? Would that improve your user flow?
Its understandable, we need to show users how to do it, its on the to do list
