User Reviews

Braver Search is broadly loved for letting iOS users use Brave as the default search by redirecting searches from Safari/Spotlight. It’s praised for privacy benefits, reliability, and fast performance, with many calling it essential. Some isolated issues have been noted (e.g., minor UI thumbnail problems or site verification blocks) and there are platform limitations on selecting a default search on iOS, but the overall reception is highly positive.

Pros

Redirects Safari and Spotlight searches to Brave, effectively enabling Brave as the default search on iOS.
Privacy-focused with greater user agency; reduces tracking and profiling.
Reliable, fast, and does what it promises; described as essential and well-valued by users.
Strong positive sentiment from Brave users, reinforcing Brave’s ecosystem on iOS.

Excellent app, works exactly like intended. One nice feature that could be added in the app itself is to preserve your search engine settings, like turning off the usage metrics.
