Missing the find feature where you can look up a word and it highlights and teleports you to it
I don't need some snot nosed twauts telling me what I can or can not search for. You can take this search engine and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. I have really had it with this censorship garbage in apple app store. And no I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CRAPAPP. IF YOU WANT A RACIST SEARCH ENGINE? THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU! Otherwise delete it AND DO NOT RECOMMEND TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Boycott it til these fools come to their senses, IF THEY HAVE ANY!
I downloaded Swisscows because I was sick of being tracked, advertised to, and generally cajoled into following the pre-ordained black holes of the internet algorithms that are so ubiquitous across Chrome, Safari and the other big ones. I just wanted to be able to make simple web searches for things like recipes, the news, or answers to encyclopedia-type questions. Swisscows has been perfect for that. My internet usage has rapidly diminished (according to my Screen Time reports) and I feel like the internet is now actually a good tool for me to use rather than the dangerous firebrand in my hands that it once was. Thank you Swisscows for simplifying the modern age. One note for users: most webpages and blogs these days have video ads, and on Swisscows those videos immediately pop out and have to be closed or minimized to return to the webpage. I actually don’t mind this feature, because I primarily use the app to reduce my internet use, and the annoyance of these pop outs makes me want to use it less, but it may be much more annoying to other users. Also, Apple, at this time, doesn’t support any interfacing with Swisscows, so you can’t click on links in iMessage and expect to open them in the app, or in Maps. Again, minor inconvenience that I actually see as a strength for my purposes, but that may discourage others from using Swisscows.
Try using it to search items and 90%of time won’t let me
This is a great app, and I love the private and family-friendliness of this app. There is only one way I have found that this app could be better—there is a loophole to get around the “family-friendliness” of the app, and that is to simply search for another search engine within the app, and then search for non-family-friendly content on that search engine. Would it be possible for y’all to make it so that the family-friendly filter applies to *all* searches within the app (not just those done by SwissCows search engine)? Thank you!
Had trouble getting info Had to back to duck duck
You can’t resize the search results with a simple pinch & zoom. I was searching for Memes and it blocked all search image results stating it was blocking violence & porn. My search had nothing to do with porn or violence so Swisscows is censoring you based on your search query. That is completely different than not indexing material off specific websites. There is no option to clear the browser when you close it so you have to do that manually every time. Last, it is just using a filtered version of Bing. But hey, at least you can buy a cool Swisscows mug, lol.
Добавьте ярлыки, пожалуйста. Спасибо.
"The developer does not collect any data from this app." In this age of ubiquitous data collection, storage, transference and commodification, how refreshing it was to read that statement prior to downloading the SwissCows app. Even if the search engine was sub-par (which it's not), this practice of respecting its users data would, on its face, entice me to support SwissCows as much as possible. I first stumbled upon SwissCows through the advice of an expert in all things pertaining to privacy and data protection in this hyper-digital world we now find ourselves in. It was one of only TWO search engines he felt comfortable recommending to his audience - with the other being Brave Search - but having now used both engines, I feel confident that SwissCows is the superior of the two. SwissCows had the highest commendation from him for its transparency, privacy protection and respect for its customers and the often sensitive information they provide to these engines. Sure, there are things that could be improved upon - as with any search engine - but I am truly impressed by the product that the team at SwissCows have created. They have my support and will continue to do so as long as their engine remains honest, transparent and free from the typical data-harvesting techniques employed by the sociopaths at Google, SuckSuckGo, Bing, and the like. 5/5 Stars.
This is a better option than other apps, but I just wish I had way to open new window, and the back arrow I think it works strange.
