### 2/5 — Bugs

*2026-08-12, version 1.3.7*

This updated version is coming with a lot of bugs. Cannot even go to the “report a bug” tab because it will not load. Searches in search bar do not load. Presearch search engine does not load on opening the app.. 

Please fix

### 3/5 — Now not working

*2026-08-10, version 1.3.7*

Loved it but for some reason it is now bot working :(

### 2/5 — How to use it now?

*2026-07-26, version 1.3.7*

The whole website updated and required account login. I signed up and was granted 25 token.  But every search attempt still leads to account setting page. 🆘

### 2/5 — blocked by ads and then locked out

*2026-06-11, version 1.3.7*

search results were covered by an annoying ad at the bottom of the page; couldn’t navigate to page 2. then was locked out (pay to play) before I could decide if I wanted to keep it.

### 3/5 — Almost

*2025-11-26, version 1.3.7*

I love it except for the annoying ‘Use Presearch app’ button every time I open the browser, get rid of that annoying button and I give you 5 stars.

### 3/5 — Decent..

*2025-10-02, version 1.3.7*

But certain settings get defaulted a lot...the ones that tech companies are pushing, winkwink. Also want a browser that allows domain blocks. That browser would have me as a dedicated user

### 4/5 — Update

*2025-02-27, version 1.3.6*

Por favor,hace más de 2 años que no se actualiza.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-06-07, version 1.3.6*

I use it and like it alot. Thanks

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-05-02, version 1.3.6*

The presearch team and devs did a great job at this browser

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-04-30, version 1.3.6*

Pour une multitude de recherches précises… il est très utile. J’adore avoir le pouvoir de changer de moteur de recherche par rapport à ce que je cherche. Je recommande 👍

### 5/5 — The least censored of all search engines.

*2024-03-25, version 1.3.6*

This isn’t google. It’s better. Uncensored from what I can tell. I have run a node previously although i do not now. 

PResearch plus Deeper network is a 1-2 punch through the censorship wall. A simple search and comparison of say the Israel war will show you how many more millions of searches pop up with presearch than Google safari or any other search engine include the now google run Brave.

### 3/5 — Güncelleme lazım

*2024-03-08, version 1.3.6*

Uygulama çok yavaş ve birazda zahmet olacak ama ara yüzü biraz düzenleseniz mi bu fikir için uygulama arayüzü kötü

### 1/5 — WARNING!!!

*2026-08-05, version 1.3.7*

Please do not download this app the company has shut down and taken all the money from the users. Please do not download the company is gone and the search does not function anymore.

### 1/5 — Not private anymore

*2026-07-26, version 1.3.7*

It’s sad one of the most safe search engines not makes you verify yourself to use it that’s were privacy ends

### 1/5 — Why do I suddenly need an account?

*2026-07-25, version 1.3.7*

What the heck? After months of the search only working sometimes, not even being able to load, and errors like 'can't retry load more than 20 times', today I can't even use presearch to search without being redirected to create an account. Tomorrow there might be a new error. How is this actually decentralized when I need to give you info and create an account to use it?

### 1/5 — Ai sucks

*2026-05-06, version 1.3.7*

I detest presearch ai and no way to turn it off.

### 1/5 — Disgusting

*2026-05-05, version 1.3.7*

This app is full of ads and it has the option too to turn it into a porn mode, where it fills your screen with porn ads.

### 1/5 — Trump Suckers

*2025-12-28, version 1.3.7*

Running trump ads

### 1/5 — “It’s a trap”

*2024-04-07*

You have to make an account to use all of the Apps options and the Developer can do whatever they want with the information you provide to them. 

Developer doesn’t guarantee your safety will using their touted Pre Search Mode. I have never found an app developer that claims to not collect any Data that is written using Legalese and makes your eyes tired because it is so extremely long. 

App doesn’t work while in Lockdown Mode? Which I find very odd for a company that claims to protect your PRIVACY. I’m not going to turn off Lockdown Mode just to use one App. Yes I am paranoid about my Personal Data, Data Breaches seem to be occurring so frequently that I can’t remember how many times I’ve been notified to reset my passwords and update my information.

The App developers website has links to every Data thieving social media platform that “share” your information with each other and other entities. The developers make it clear that they can’t keep users safe from 3rd party websites Privacy Policies.

What I find most puzzling is that the app interface is a direct clone of the iOS Brave Privacy App. Please check out both apps and you can see for yourself how similar the interfaces are.

### 1/5 — WARNING: THEY DO NOT PAY

*2024-01-02, version 1.3.6*

Don’t fall for this scam. They collect and sell your search activities and make money off it. They don’t want to pay you, that’s why they make the requirement to cash out so high, they just want you to quit before it reached the payment threshold. IF after years later, you do reach your threshold and want to cash out, they will deny you payment saying your searches were not legit. Also, if you haven’t use it for a year, they will delete all your earnings. These people are thieves:

### 1/5 — COPY CAT!

*2023-10-08, version 1.3.6*

Stop copying Google! WHO NEEDS THIS APP WHEN YOU HAVE GOOGLE

### 1/5 — Hypocrites

*2023-08-09, version 1.3.6*

This creepy browser company blocks ads on other search engine sites but on their own creepy site it’s covered with creepy crypto ads. Go figure. How can you trust a company that behaves like this? I don’t.

### 5/5 — Was a good ride

*2026-07-25, version 1.3.7*

Great idea. Sad to see it shut down.

### 5/5 — GREAT

*2026-02-08, version 1.3.7*

Great to use a search engine that actually provides results not sponsored or bias with the sites you usually are offered up on other search engines .

### 5/5 — Made the switch

*2026-01-24, version 1.3.7*

Love it won’t switch great freedom loving people and awesome product

### 5/5 — Top Notch

*2025-12-08, version 1.3.7*

Fast. Secure. Safe. Private.

### 5/5 — PREsearch is my default browser!

*2025-09-25, version 1.3.7*

If you want to protect your information online and prevent tracking via gazillions of websites, use Presearch browser, you wont miss anything else. Been using it for the last few years, seen the way how the product has evolved, they have their own suite of products search engine, decentralized crawler, indexer. All coming together nicely.

### 5/5 — You can do something about companies stealing your data.

*2025-09-24, version 1.3.7*

Vote with your apps. Vote with your searches.

### 5/5 — Yes

*2025-09-16, version 1.3.7*
