Best Search Engine

I absolutely love this app. I’ve been using it for some years now and have always been able to find what I need. The fact that there are no ads and no tracking is the icing on the cake.

I wish there was an option to use the camera for when I want to search an item.

Crashing frequently

This app crashes almost every use- I keep it open, while temporarily switching to a different app, then upon returning only a minute later... the duck has erased every tab that I was reading !

Better than Google

I'm so glad I finally made the switch. DuckDuckGo now works better than Google, and it doesn't force me to use AI with every search.
