1. [R4] DuckDuckGo 2/5 · US Not great: I originally started using this to stop the tracking. Search engine itself brings up limited results. I usually have to use a different search option to get more results for what am looking for. AI answers are very bad. It basically either sums up the first result from the search or just gives wrong information. The track blocking has also seemed to stop working well. I will do a s
2. [R24] DuckDuckGo 3/5 · US Best browser with short comings: The search is not that great, I just use google anonymously. There are some navigation issues with the disappearing bottom navigation sometimes so popups prevent scrolling so you have to close the app.
3. [R61] Claude by Anthropic 1/5 · US Token usage is a scam: The number of times it used up my tokens on unusable output is ludicrous. Just now, used 12% and sent me a message “can’t connect to Claude” with no output. Yesterday it couldn’t format a report to be printable in A4 and used up all my credit as well as the additional credit that I had allocated. Ridiculous
4. [R67] Claude by Anthropic 1/5 · US Time is precious and can never come back: Complete dissatisfaction with the performance and response of this application. Do not waste your money or think you can try it out for some time. It’s programmed to burn through credits I have experienced numerous issues, including frequent hold times, pauses after approximately ten attempts, and intentional malfunctions. Despite my repeated requests for
5. [R20] DuckDuckGo 5/5 · US DuckDuckGo: Am very happy I’ve been using your DuckDuckGo, for at least 6 years and found it to be exceptional. Whatever I look for in search, from dictionary, different topics have been clear and concise. It’s a browser needed for all. Thank you for making this browser.
6. [R38] DuckDuckGo 5/5 · US Almost Perfect!: I know this isn’t a novel concept, but i’m so delighted that the youtube ads get filtered out. It’s almost baffling to me how nice the browser is without being scummy, cogsuckjng, or underhanded. I think my only request would be for videos to be able to play in PnP (picture in picture). I multitask a lot and if my videos were running on screen WHILE using the app, this app would
7. [R63] Claude by Anthropic 3/5 · US Great App - Account Switch Toggle Needed: I work full time from and IPad Pro. I would like to see Claude account switching capabilities added. For example switch between a personal and business or team account. I would also like to see Claude be able to communicate with Claude Cowork. There is a current communication barrier here,
8. [R99] Claude by Anthropic 3/5 · GB Love it but….: It is a lovely app but can be extremely frustrating to use when you’re in your work mode, all energised and out of nowhere limits reached and you wait 5 hours to continue even with paid subscription. This alone can make one lose motivation to complete their task. That’s why I have 3 stars. Even when you start new chat, you have to bring some other details from incomplete chat to new
9. [R3] DuckDuckGo 3/5 · US Needs more work: I love duck duck and have referred it to many of my friends but when I started having problems I decided to try an update. Wish I never had! I have updated twice now. It is very slow to load if it does at all. Please fix duck duck I don’t want to use google😔
10. [R12] DuckDuckGo 3/5 · US Disappointed in latest update: I just updated this app and it is not adhering to the settings I have in place for this app. I have searching set to not keep past results or search bookmarks, but that is exactly what it is doing. It is ignoring my settings. I wonder what other settings it is ignoring. Fix the app. Why have settings if you are going to ignore them?
11. [R94] Claude by Anthropic 1/5 · US Usage limit: The usage limit is way to restrictive. I’m paying 20 and I can use chat gpt for that and not have it give me a usage limit that quickly. I think I’d rather use that honestly. I can’t afford to pay way more for the max plan just to use it for what I need 🤷‍♀️ something to keep in mind
12. [R8] DuckDuckGo 5/5 · US Privacy: Keeps me secure and private with out being traced other then for safety concerns
13. [R87] Claude by Anthropic 3/5 · US The limit is annoying: I have done much more with ChatGPT for free then with Claude like initially, it looks nice, but eventually, even with the monthly payment it’s runs into limit so quickly and I barely get the money is worth so I think I’m better off using other apps for free and get more done than Claude and the voice version is hallucinating so much these days
14. [R2] DuckDuckGo 5/5 · US Amazing Service and Communication: From start to finish they have been amazing! They make everything do easy from scheduling evaluations at your house to drop off. Highly recommend!
15. [R47] DuckDuckGo 5/5 · US Love ❤️ It✅👍🏿🤩😎: Fantastic product. Highly recommended!!
16. [R97] Claude by Anthropic 2/5 · US Great App, Horrible Customer Service: I enjoy using Claude AI, however, I was charged 4-6x outside of my subscription and I do not even have a usage api approval to be billed passed limits. I reached out to Anthropic through Claude ai and console, but not said due to high amount of response they will get to me later on through email. Mind you it’s been since June 29th and now is July 8th where all
17. [R115] Claude by Anthropic 1/5 · US Bad Bug with Claude Code Approvals in App: Being that I can’t find an official support channel, posting this as a bad review for visibility. In the Mobile App (iOS), I make heavy use of Claude code remote control, but the experience is a bit awful. It’s impossible to see the edits, code changes, and commands for which Claude seeks approval, because it cuts off on the screen, can’t scroll, can’t cl
