Customer Reviews
Great, But…
I love most things about this app, but two issues bothers me a lot. It's mot a big issue, it just really matters to me.
Whenever I click on a textbox on a webpage, the URL bar (whatever it's called) pops down at the same time the keyboard pops up. This gives me only a tiny strip of space for me to see what I'm actually typing. I don't see why they think that's necessary, but I'd really appreciate it if they removed that feature in future updates, because it seriously ticks me off.
The other thing is that, when the keyboard's up, I can't scroll all the way down. I have to zoom in to get close to the bottom of the page. Again, if you could fix this in future updates, that'd be great. It's really annoying.
Hiccups In Dictation But Still Five Stars
This is a terrific app which I recommend without reservation. Google's dictation is still worse than Apple's own service but is getting better. The big problem with it is that it will cut you off in the middle of your query, or remain listening long after you are done speaking. The workaround is simple enough: tap the query field once to bring up the keyboard and use Apple Dictation for your query.
Despite this minor issue, this is still an must-have app that deserves to be on the front page of your mobile device.
I love it!
It's the perfect way to quickly answer any question, sometimes without even having to ask. It does everything it is supposed to do, and it does it well. Plus there are a bunch of cute little extra features like "I'm feeling curious," and the 3d touch support. It is just slightly slow, but it's well worth waiting the extra half second. Also, I have no problems with incognito mode. Just be signed in and click on your name in the upper left hand corner of the homescreen.
