Great

Great app, great search.

So schön…

Gute Suchergebnisse, keine irritierende Werbung, sehr hilfreiche KI. Das Abo lohnt absolut.

Needs Improvement

Extremely slow to redirect links to Kagi search, 9 out of 10 times Safari takes me to the default search engine result and then Kagi search results roll in. On tabs left open still prompts for user login even after providing the private key.

Broken

Bad to begin with, and recently has gotten much worse. It seems everything I search for is being sent to Ecosia now before also being sent to Kagi, which kind of ruins the point. Disappointing

Watched the CEO interview and have WAY more trust in Kagi than all the others.

There’s something about the CEO and founder that gives good vibes, and a level of trust I have lost with other search engines.

Google is garbage now. Bing is half-assed like everything Microsoft does. I’m done with the garbage. Like the CEO, I was making webpages before the internet could even support graphics. Honestly: I blame Google for destroying the internet with monetization.

I’m a full Kagi convert now. I started with this Kagi for Safari, but honestly - Get their Orion browser for the best experience.

Plugin works super well!

I’ve had zero issue with the plugin. Seems to work well. Fingers crossed that Apple adds Kagi to its search engine options.

Gute Suchmaschine

Aber nicht Kostenlos! Nach 100 Suchanfragen ist Schluss. Und relativ teuer $216 Jährlich für Familien ist heftig

Incompatible with VPNs

Doesn’t let you use it with a VPN on

Too difficult to set up

You need to make this much simpler to set up

Excellent Search Engine, Extension works well

Sometimes apple makes a decision that leaves you scratching your head and understand why they have to be forced. This is a workaround since you can’t add new search engines to safari. And it works well enough except bangs kinda.
The search engine itself which I hoped more reviews talked about is Excellent. It’s the best google alternative here.
Their core goal is admirable for support but no need to be altruistic the search engine stands on its own.
It’s the best customizable search there, The way you can tinker with it is amazing. It’s fast the results are great and it keeps getting better. The other alternatives all fall lacking in one aspect of privacy,customization or ads. There are brilliant people here, their integration of ai is the most tasteful I’ve seen and they understand its purpose as a tool. Live events are a weakness of it and is just a bang away. The team is small which worries me of dealing with industry turbulence, removing its weaknesses and innovating speedily as nothing stops other engines from copying them. But it’s revenue positive. I hope to see it become more popular.

Ist mir für den Preis zu schlecht

Ich muss oft zu Google wechseln, weil die Ergebnisse häufig keinen Sinn ergeben. Als ob ich etwas ganz anderes gesucht habe, sehr komisch.

!g stopped working

It’s no longer possible to see Google AT ALL, even if I type it in the address bar. The extension completely breaks it. It’s been like that for a couple months now and it’s a paid product.

Can’t switch to Google results

I like Kagi and will continue to use it on my computer, but seeing Google results in this app is completely broken. Please fix this ASAP! I uninstalled Kagi months ago because of this problem, and I’m disappointed to see that it’s still an issue.

Everyone should use Kagi

This is a 5-star rating for Kagi itself which is an essential tool that has been missing from my life for years; a legitimate paid for search engine that does not sell my data. The extension itself would be a 4 because of the need to often refresh to get the redirect to hit, but you can always add the default search engine to a content blocker and the redirect to Kagi still works.

Alt search engines don’t work

I like Kagi search, it’s great for most day to day use. However, I find myself a bit frustrated with the safari app. My request to search with google through the “More > Google” feature are ignored, so I end up needing to switch to the chrome app just to complete the search on Google.

Worth It

Yes, paying for search is worth it to get great results, without the ads, slop, and tracking.

Like Google, back when it was useful.

doesn’t work

for some reason this extension stopped working and i can’t figure out why

Battery Drain - iOS 26

Great app overall, but battery drain is atrocious since the iOS 26 upgrade.

Does not show in Safari extensions

Please specify if the app does not work with certain versions. I am stuck in macOS Monterey because Apple won't release updates for my machine. But a warning would be nice so I don't waste my time if there's a version conflict.
