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. ### 4/5 — Needs more features *2026-01-20* I downloaded OceanHero so I wouldn’t get annoying AI overviews from Google and I really like it so far but I just wish there were more features like Google/Safari. Like I wish I could make my own custom tab groups so I can have a private one, a main one, a shopping one, a reading one, and a school one. I overall I really like OceanHero and will continue to use it because I hate AI. ### 4/5 — Just a few questions *2026-01-08, version 1.1.3* This is amazing, just like safari or google but helping save the seas! I just don’t understand, because I have an account on it, but I can’t sign into it on the app? I want to see how many bottles I save, but I can’t check! Amazing app though, im just really slow lol ### 3/5 — good *2026-01-06, version 1.1.3* it’s really good four it on TikTok and downloaded but im really quite annoyed because I don’t have a laptop and im an iPhone user I have tried using it but it just won’t work and every time it just sends me to google with ai overviews and all that jazz which kinda defeats the point so no I don’t have a laptop so it might just be my fault but great if you want to help as long as your not an iPhone user!!!! PLEAAE FIX THIS UGH ### 4/5 — OceanHero *2025-12-18* I’ve been using this app for 3-4 years already and I’ve never switched to google or safari. My sister recommended me this app at the start of my journey and it’s my go to app. I was surprised by how much low the ratings are! I love OceanHero with all my heart but as of now, the reason I gave a 4/5 star rating is because of the frequent times the app has kicked me out. I wish there was solution to fix this but for no I guess I don’t mind. I’ll figure it out. Thanks! ### 2/5 — kept opening google *2025-12-02, version 1.1.3* got this so i could get away from google and ai and it worked for a while but it then started opening google and there is no way to turn it off ### 3/5 — KEEPS SENDING ME TO GOOGLE *2025-12-02, version 1.1.3* PLEASE FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY ### 4/5 — Google Purchased OceanHero? I’d rate 5 stars if otherwise. *2025-11-30* did Google purchase OceanHero? everytime i search in a tab it automatically directs me to google, and i’ve done nothing in settings to cause this. Hoogle’s AI Overview pops up and i’ve been trying to aboud using AI as much as possible. How do I get rid of it? ### 4/5 — insane switch up icl 😅😅 *2025-11-29, version 1.1.3* i've been using oceanhero for maybe a couple months now and it was great, no forced ai - which is what i downloaded it for and the removing plastic from the ocean by searching is an amazing idea. although today i've noticed that when i search ANYTHING up it takes me to google which forces ai. i dont know how to fix this but the non ai was the main reason i downloaded this app. ### 2/5 — google issue *2025-11-28* I love oceanhero but it's redirecting my searches to google which ruins the reason I used it in the first place since I wanted to avoid google's ai feature. PLEASE FIX THIS! ### 5/5 — I love it :-) *2025-10-12* This app is great! I’m so grateful to be able to give back to the ocean and help so much life. The games are fun too ;) ### 5/5 — Peak *2025-09-23, version 1.1.3* Um renewable energy yayayayya ### 4/5 — Love Finny *2025-09-20, version 1.1.3* Only suggest upgrading Finny the ai shark. I really love the fact that he is powered by renewable energy. ### 3/5 — Wanted to love :/ *2025-09-14* I really wanted to love this app, I downloaded it because I love the concept of being able to help the planet while browsing the internet. However, the search result just aren’t very useful. They’re often unrelated to what I typed in or I’m unable to click them. Recently I tried to look up an article my friend sent me the title of, I typed it in word for word and the article just wouldn’t pop up, switched to my usually browser and it was the top result. I’ve already cleaned up 24 bottles and I don’t want to have to switch back, but I’ll have to if I’m not able to find what I’m searching for. Tried looking up how to fix this problem and wasn’t able to find any sort of solution :(( ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-03* Only thing that could be improved is integrating the hours of businesses into search results ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Greenwashing and doesn’t work *2026-01-16, version 1.1.3* I tried using this app but every time I search something it keeps going to Google and still has the ai overview. Save your time and storage and find another eco friendly app. ### 1/5 — What happened with no ai *2026-01-05, version 1.1.3* The second I search photos it takes me to google ### 1/5 — Ai *2026-01-01, version 1.1.3* Every time I search something it just brings me to the ai overview on google??? I thought this app was meant to not use ai ### 1/5 — Why?? *2025-12-19, version 1.1.3* Why is it that everytime I search up something, it takes me straight to Google? It doesn’t make sense. Like there’s no point in using this app if every search takes me straight to Google. 🤦‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Greenwashing *2025-01-10, version 1.1.3* GET RID OF AI!!!!!!! It uses so much water, there's not going to be anymore oceans to clean!!!! ### 1/5 — stop hacking *2024-07-20, version 1.1.3* hacking i do not concent to 3rd party apps ### 1/5 — I love ocean hero, but this latest glitch is rough *2024-06-20, version 1.1.3* Let me start by saying OceanHero is incredible. Ive used it for a very long time. Lately, there is a glitch that inverts the colours on every page I visit, as well as having spurts where it’ll refresh a page multiple times a second and not allow me to switch tabs or open menus. It’s made the app unusable. I hope it gets fixed soon ### 1/5 — No Shell On IOS! No love :( *2024-04-18* Please for the love of Gosh add this feature to iPhone, I beg you! On android the shell appears after 3 clicks on the home button and it pops up with a question and gives a ton of points around 50 even if you get it right it shows the right answer in green you click it and then you tap home 3 more times to get another question and learn more about the ocean. ### 1/5 — É o Firefox *2022-04-22, version 1.1.1* Cópia descarada do Firefox. Ainda apela para lado ecológico. ### 2/5 — Keep Signing Me Out *2026-03-14* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s amazing! *2026-03-15* 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! ### 5/5 — Actual Facts *2026-02-14* 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 ### 5/5 — Best app. *2026-02-08, version 1.1.3* It’s time to preserve what we didn’t destroy. ### 5/5 — Amazing ❤️ *2026-02-07, version 1.1.3* Amazing ❤️ ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-02-04* I just got it and I alr love it you should make a email ### 5/5 — I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS APP *2026-02-03, version 1.1.3* This is google but no AI ,protects sea animals and doesn’t need to sign up or do any other things. SUPER UNDERRATED APP ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCHH *2026-01-17, version 1.1.3* it’s so good and it doesn’t use ai! Please download more apps like these as it can save our earth. ### 5/5 — It redirects me to Google *2026-01-11, version 1.1.3* I love the app and everything it stands for but whenever I try and search something it redirects me to Google and thus my points aren’t increasing. I hope they correct the issue as I do not seem to be the only one experiencing this ### 5/5 — Good *2025-12-04* Totally recommend ### 5/5 — OOH *2025-10-17, version 1.1.3* NO AI YAYAYAYAY --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
