The best of the best...
I want to tell you why I'm such a fan of WonderSwipe. Just a note to Chat 3.5/4.0 users. These are revolutionary and very powerful engines. I embrace them fully with a couple of significant caveats. These are as follows. They refuse to answer questions that cross what they perceive as moral boundaries. They can't answer questions requiring knowledge of events or concepts arising after 2021. Third, and to me the most important, they are sometimes wrong. Admittedly rarely, but when they are, they can be extremely eloquent in presenting false information.
WonderSwipe has none of these failings. It has a very powerful natural language processor that quickly distills from a free text query the essential attributes of the information you desire. It then seeks and provides the urls that are the best answer pages and helpfully provides keyword highlighting and an intelligent summarizations which are readily expandable to full text. Needless to say, the results are devoid of any advertising shrubbery. The user is free to subselect the responses which best fit their needs. Try it out and you will see that in really important matters that don't require interaction to chained queries ( a chat), WonderSwipe is the better choice.

Quite a review! The Web is the ultimate repository of knowledge, WonderSwipe just reimagines the access with that alone, distilled and without ads. Glad you love it!
Unique Summative Browzing Experience
Other phone browsers can not match the utility of Wonderswipe. While I'm not going to make WonderSwipe my default browser, I see it as a unique utility that can help catch me up on a generally well-known topic and get a rough idea from multiple sources at once. If you have an academically curious mind, I recommend you check this out.
I've used it to understand the chemistry of cleaning supplies, the environmental footprint of various products, and what I should be planting in my garden!
It's excellent for skimming articles (like WordPress and other non-paywall news) but not so great for other websites. The summarization engine is elegant but not consistently accurate. It bolds text that it thinks is important, which is neat, and when I need more context, I can click on pieces of the extractive summary to read where it came from. But since it's an automated summary, you never know if it will perform well or poorly. At least it doesn't take too long (<10 sec) to see what it thinks is most important. Also, since everything is conducted on your device, it goes as fast as your device can fetch and summarize the content of pages. Meaning you get extra privacy and no ads for all your searches! Yahoo!
I'm glad to have this tool in my pocket for all the quirks this app and its automated summaries may have; you will, too, if only to test it out.

It has an unrivaled ability to distill your interests from a free text query; quickly and thoroughly search the web and deliver very specific and relevant articles. From this plethora of sources, it encapsulates the essence of the articles in a coherent summary with links to the relevant source. In over 40 years of experience, I have seldom encountered a product that cleverly combined these essential features of a search for information based upon an ambiguous query!

Really cool app. 👍
I remember when Gary Fung made isohunt.
Big Fan 🥰 I made an account and shared everything and with everyone back in 2009 on isohunt. and now WonderSwipe works nicely when it comes to data research on the web and finding all the extra links of hidden gems of resources. Thank you again for making everyone happy on the Internet. You rock!! 👍 long live Gary Fung. 😎

Thanks Andy!
Just what I was looking for
Information overload is a thing. With WonderSwipe it’s easy to quickly get the gist of a new concept and at the same time branch off to other related concepts quickly and efficiently. Well done.
One recommendation is to allow the user to highlight a word or phrase from a result and search for it directly.
