Ratings and reviews

I'm not privy to the 3rd party search bar game outside of ones from launchers. having tried like 4 before getting to this one, I think it's pretty good, and especially for being free and without ads, it's really good. does exactly what I needed it to do and it's pretty slick. nitpicky quality of life features I think would take it to the next level is: web suggestions as you type in the search bar, search history, and pinnable shortcuts. regardless though it's very good as is great job dev(s)!

Does exactly what it says, with no sidetracking. It can search apps or internet searches, saving time otherwise taken in the conventional way. (but not files nor contacts) Place that widget or link it to any phone button, and absolutely requires no fancy gimmicks or launchers. An essential app in android, and I don't think I'd ever look for another.

Fast, simple and reliable app search launcher. And importantly uses zero permissions, stores no data, has no ads, and is free. Exactly what I needed - very grateful to the dev. [Edit] I've ONLY JUST discovered the T9 search option and it's an absolute revelation that takes the app to the next level for power usage. If you still have the muscle memory from the Nokia 3210 days, expect the speed at which you find apps to quadruple... This app aims at one goal and absolutely nails it.
