Ratings and reviews

I have been looking for an app like this for a long time. I used Sesame for a while, but it was always a little buggy and didn't quite do everything that I wanted, leaving me wanting for more. Quick Search is everything that Sesame could have been. This app changes the way that I use my phone. The operation of my phone is all in one place, making it lightning quick to access any app, setting, file, or function just by typing a few letters in the search bar. Keep up the good work!

Really cool and has a lot of potential. Great UI and customization options, too. But I'd like to see the search functionality improved. Selecting an auto suggestion option should go right to search, not make me hit enter again. Also, if I type something in and an app is the first option, I'd like a setting to have it do a web search anyway. And it looks like the mic icon on the widget does nothing but open the search bar? I'd like to set that to opening another search provider (e.g Perplexity)

edit: developer added color changes and now this is my preferred app for search :) ty. original review: pretty decent replacement for sesame, though it doesn't seem to have as deep integrations yet. I also really wish I could change the colors of the widget as it doesn't match my set up at all and my only choices are black or white
