User reviews

Wanted to love

This app’s goals are certainly in the right place, but the browser itself is kind of wonky. There’s a lot of bugs & errors when it comes to using sites I regularly do, such as being detected as a bot to some sites on OceanHero when I’m not on any other browser…? It’s just annoying and makes using certain websites extremely frustrating. However, on the bright side, I do find myself trying to make random searches just to get someone to clean up a water bottle from the ocean, so I guess that’s a positive. Really good concept, the browser just needs a lot of improvement.

It’s amazing!

I’ve been using this app for months now and every 8 searches you save an entire bottle of water! I love knowing my researches can prevent water being wasted on non eco friendly AI’s!

Keep Signing Me Out

I loved the idea of tracking how much plastic you’ve helped recover with your searches, but I get signed out of my account after about every 3-4 searches and then the tracker resets to zero. When I try to sign back in it wants me to click a link in my email every time. This is ridiculously frustrating and I’m just going to find a better browser.

Actual Facts

I’m not constantly getting pushed for 30 day trials on random things. It is very easy to follow and I also love how “finny” is powered by renewable energy

Best app.

It’s time to preserve what we didn’t destroy.
