I love that they help the ocean and I love the videos that they make! I think it is SUCH a good idea

Talia Johnson, 2025-01-19

Hey OceanHero team, this review is for you. Just came across while searching for a better search engine. And I love it after setting it as default. But bugs or issues and suggestions, - I cannot hide shortcuts as the settings option is missing (I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM AT ANY COST). - I also don't want to see amazon, youtube, gmail, translate, calculator. If you want to allow, fine but give us option to hide. I want just focus on search bar, background image, time and notes widget (for work notes) which is resizable (see tabliss addon and bonjour addon for inspiration). - I cannot put my local image (I do like your images but have my collections), allow us. - The font is readable but for me and my eyes (teary-eyed due to work), it is not. I request you to add more like DDG search has. - Get real-time news and events thing as it will help me dump Google and DDG. - I installed your app on my phone but it is would if you re-launch it as AI chat bot like Duck.ai, Chat GPT AI or Perplexity AI or Gemini AI instead of search. I am using these AI instead of search engines on my mobile and that too without account. Take ideas and see how you can reinvent and then promote by running ads. And get app on other app stores too. - I request if you want more users, consider porting this addon to edge addon store and firefox addon store (see DDG addon and their downloads and users) and promoting it with relevant keywords and search terms. I promise you will get more users. Keep promoting. Get your vision more forward so more users both new and old will align like ecosia is doing. - Improve searches more, anyways I love them. Use localization for search results more. Regards.
