Ratings and reviews

I love this app! One thing I would like to see is a way to remove the settings cog on the widget. It gets in the way a lot. Could this feature be added? Edit: 26-May-24 I found the setting to turn off the settings gear icon. Thank you! I kept hitting the gear icon accidentally. After disabling the gear icon, text takes its place: "Search Apps...". Is there a way to disable the text at the same time? Edit: Thank you! Hiding the hint text is awesome. You rock!

This app is simply amazing. I used to use the default s finder app from Samsung which doesn't launch with keyboard automatically when opening. This app is miles better. Edit: 5/1/2024 - This app is the best app, out of all apps. I don't think any other app even compares. There is a new features called shortcuts, you can search for "video" and YouTube and tiktok will show up or "movies" and Netflix and Paramount show up.

This is the best app search on the play store and I'd even argue it's the best on android in general. There are plenty of customization options available and my favorite feature is the ability to set it as your assistant app, which lets you open it anytime by swiping from one of the bottom corners of the screen. On top of that, adding shortcuts is really handy for apps with complicated names or if you can't remember the name of the app. It just gets better with every update.
