| 2024-11-06 |  | | Good. Versatile, Google avoidance possible. Just need to quiet down the look of it with some customisation options, especially transparency. |
| 2024-06-29 |  | | Works exactly as expected |
| 2021-09-14 |  | | Good but no search suggestions from Google and no pure amoled dark mode. |
| 2021-03-23 |  | | This app uses Yandex, a Russian search engine. Why would you want to use a Russian search engine?!? |
| 2021-02-17 |  | | I love simple search because it has the buttons that I want to click on like say either lie spoilers The Young and the restless spoilers do the hospital spoilers and the top it all off I need WWE because that is the important thing that I need that's why I have simple search so I can search it to find out what's going on in WWE |
| 2021-01-15 |  | | This app is terrific. I can escape Google's heavily bias/censored search engine by choosing another (my preference is duckduckgo for uncensored Web searching). Also you are free to use any web browser you choose. Perfect. |
| 2021-01-03 |  | | Good... two things needed: voice search (non-google) and transparent widget. |
| 2020-11-13 |  | | This app freezes my phone where I can't even restart it. I lose so much every time it does... Great idea, but needs a lot of work. |
| 2020-06-06 |  | | More widget options like curved edges would be really nice. Overall a good alternative to Google search widget. |
| 2020-05-27 |  | | Does not seem to perform it's one function....searching. |
