Doesnt work does nothing but take you to a blank homescreen on set up in 3rd party launchers and redirects back to the playstore install page in the playstore app with the OS home app. go to apps and notifications in settings, go to permissions for this app it says no permissions granted and will not allow to grant permissions. trust me I read permissions are required for this app to work and i couldnt if i wanted to. dissapointing I like the concept.

Hi Amy, please search for Start Search Bar in your app directory. you should see the widget there. As many 3rd party launchers do not support the easy widget placement out of our app, please manually place the widget by long pressing on the homescreen and then add widget - our widget name is Start Search Bar. for more help: support@searchturbo.com

it automatically gives a dropdown for Walgreens and trivago - can I shut off the unwanted (and apparently uneditable) suggested sites or should I just delete the whole thing and find another app? I'll gladly pay for a pro version, but otherwise you lost me.

Hi Gigi, once you start selecting websites from our suggestion list, the dropdown tiles will start changing to your favorite websites. but we are also working on a functionality to delete and change the tiles in the dropdown any time.
