Yandex is alot like google search prior to 2016, organic, accurate results. You get sites that weigh organically, as opposed to corporations the bid the highest $

The Truth
I started using Yandex now due to the censorship and western bias And I have suggestion for Yandex My suggestion is to please improve the text recognition like on Google lens and release a separate app for smart camera It will really give though competition to Google lens and can also be an alternative for those who want to boycott Google due to their pro Israeli policies or data collection

Not bad, but not really top. Of the shortcomings - filtering search results, not displaying some sites, services such as maps periodically freeze. One of the most is the Protect Active Protection System. After embedding URL links in the application, a warning from Protect periodically appears instead of the interface. Click "Ignore", the site will reboot and protect does not allow access again. There is no way to disable Protect in this application.

A good search engine that actually searches for what you ask. Imagine that. It's insane to see how much gets filtered by ALL the other search engines. Please don't ever sell out like all the other search engines.

I have been using this app for 2 years now. The only reason I use it because of its lens to search and the ability to download any picture to high quality! Other browsers don't have that! I like to collect anime illustration, etc, but I require quality this Yendex nails it by providing me the art quality I need!

I use yandex when I want real search results without all the targeted censored and manipulated or curated b.s. I use it more and more and it's gotten very easy to use and has all the extras if you want them.

Bring back the add images to favourites collection feature please. Saving images as bookmarks is useless. If you can't bring them back to the app, atleast create a seperate app for yandex favourites collections.

How to disable safe search, it suck because i need it. Edit: depend on the location (country) you can actually get enabled safe search. By changing the country you can get rid of this problem

By far the best translation app, search engine, reverse image look up on the market, and essential for anyone using Telegram. Some problems recently, I believe that they are all linked to Western browsers trying to block anything that might, in any way, have some sort of link to Russia, but using a VPN with an address in Serbia has solved everything. Keep up the great work!
