User Reviews

Reviews praise DuckDuckGo's emphasis on privacy (tracker blocking, protection from hackers) and the added VPN, and appreciate being able to turn off AI with a toggle. However, common complaints include bugs and stability problems, lack of traditional ad-block features and extensions (it's a web view), mixed AI behavior (desire to disable AI or AI not functioning properly), removal of features like pin tab, and limited language support. Overall, users value privacy but want a more complete browser experience with better AI handling and ad-block capabilities on iOS.

Pros

Strong privacy protections, including tracker blocking and protection from hackers.
Built-in VPN that complements privacy and security.
Ability to disable AI features via a toggle in settings.
Privacy-first design that users trust across devices.

Cons

Bugs and stability issues / glitchiness.
Lack of ad-blocking capabilities and extensions; it’s just a web view.
AI features can be intrusive or poorly functioning, with users wanting to turn AI off or seeing limited results.
Recent updates removed features (e.g., pin tab) and some users feel the app is not a full browser.
Limited language support (no Chinese in the reviews).

Recent reviews

This is the greatest app ever. You have privacy and they don’t deal with third parties like other apps. The app gives you facts on information about anything that you want to know or hear about. I just love DuckGo wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Thank you for being a part of my life.
