  • Ad Blocker

    It’s basically a non-negotiable at this point, there really is no excuse to not give a built-in ad blocker on the app. Firefox Focus is open-source and does the job. uBlock Origin is an open-source extension that does the ad blocking for you, the Orion Browser app for IOS is able to support it. Its competition, Brave Browser, and by extension, the Brave Search Engine, is both open-source and has a built-in ad blocker. Since both Startpage and DuckDuckGo both have this problem with their apps, I think it would benefit Qwant to find a way to get a built-in ad blocker on their app.

  • Privacy & performance

    Hands down , the best search engine out there. It’s amazing at the difference between search results using google and what you get using Quant. I knew they were gatekeepers but I didn’t realize how bad it had got until I found this app. Thank you Quant for allowing information to flow freely as it was meant to. Please keep it flowing and never sell out ! I’d give it 10 stars if I could

  • Was a 5 star

    So I would have given this app five stars, but today they made a change to the app colors/logo on the Home Screen. It’s barely viewable if you have your iPhone set to dark, and I don’t care who uses white or black as the main color on iPhone. It’s an option so the developers should have planned accordingly. So you go to click on it, and it doesn’t open bc there is no visible edge to the logo, sitting there in dark on dark. Seems pretty short sighted.

  • Getting frustrated

    I was so excited when I heard about this app. Began using it and it seemed decent. Figured I just needed some time to adjust. However, after a few days things weren’t loading, I was unable to check out with things like PayPal, things were jumping in search bar as I typed, it would not allow me to go from a website to make a purchase, ect. I sure hope things get worked out, because I was looking forward to using this app and told a lot of people about it….now they are going to be disappointed too!

  • Very impressive

    I’ve downloaded this app a few days ago and am very impressed with it. It does load slowly but not badly. As long as my privacy is protected/secure that’s all that matters to me. I am enjoying using it and thanks for making this important app😊.
  • Exactly what you “qWant” from a search engine

    I’ve been using QWant for a few years now as a substitute for my old search engine (google). I found out about it from the documentary;
    “The Social Dilemma” (highly recommend!)
    I gave the app 4 stars because there are some things that you can’t do on this browser due to the fact that cookies are disabled which can cause issues when attempting to make a purchase online, or logging into your online banking.
    However,
    This is also the best part about this search engine;
    THEY DON’T COLLECT COOKIES!!
    They don’t take your personal information.
    That don’t sell your information.
    You don’t get their 3rd party partners SPAMMING YOU 24-freaking-7!!
    & no,
    I’m not crazy, I’m intentionally emphasizing specific bonuses of using this particular service because outside avoiding the incessant nuisance that are SPAM callers, you also get peace of mind in knowing that you’ll never have to worry about identity theft with this search engine.
    I especially appreciate these features & that’s why I titled my review the way I did.

    Keep up the great work. 👌🏼

  • So far so good

    I’ve been happy with this app. I meant to give it a five star instead of four, but I did not know how to go back.
  • Ads Are Intrusive, very intrusive.

    Tons, and tons of ads! (Obviously, your ad blockers aren't going to work with Qwest.)
    One particular Google ad darkened the screen and then there was no way to click it away. No way to get rid of it until you gave Google feedback. FkGoogle — predators like them is why we look for alternate browsers.

    This is unacceptable. #AdsLoseStars
    Highly recommend Brave.

  • Awful I’ll stick with Safari

    I’ve never felt so limited. This app fails me when I need it the most. I can’t save any files I can’t share any files. They all are corrupt. Very difficult to use not user friendly I hate I gave it so many chances because it’s been a frustrating waste of time I can’t get back!! I’m deleting this app and you should too.
