Thanks @stevesi for hunting us!
Hello, Product Hunt community!
I am excited to introduce all of you to the new Neeva app for Android. For a honest new take on search that is free from bias and tracking, the app brings Neeva’s search engine and browser to the Android platform.
🤔 The Problem
As Android users, we’ve learned to live with the pervasive tracking and ads that follow us around in our browser. We’ve learned to live with mobile search experiences with two screens of ads before we get to the results we are really looking for. We’ve learned to live without control over the sites we care to rank in the search results. We’ve learned to live with the lack of authentic search results from forums. We’ve learned to live with browsers that force us to search when it could just navigate us to the right result directly from the browser.
If you are one of these users, the Neeva app for Android is just for you. A from-the-ground-up new browser with the best of Neeva Search.
🛠 Our Solution:
We built the Neeva Android app with exactly one customer in mind. You. With the Neeva Android app, we kill all trackers. You have full control over the sites that rank in your search results, and can upvote/downvote them as you see fit. In lieu of search result pages full of ads and SEO, you get authentic results from the water coolers of the Internet, be it Reddit, Quora, Stack Overflow, or many others. Whenever possible, you get rich previews and full page search experiences that answer your query right away. And our FastTap feature saves you time by letting you completely skip the search results page and directly navigate to the pages you want to get to.
We would love for all of you who are Android users to try out our app. Looking forward to your support and feedback here today.
Here’s to reimagining the future of searching and browsing together.
Super excited to hunt this for the community. Neeva has proven to be a reliable search engine for me for the kind of searches I do and at the same time offering an unmatched level of privacy.
As a Neeva user my favorite "feature" is not accidentally tapping on ads. Perhaps it's just my thumbs but that simple difference has saved me a *lot* of frustration - very easy to avoid ads when there aren't any!
I've got some good news, Nachiketa: no waiting required, the ios app is live too :)
@rob_seger1 thanks for the shout out. In our studies, we find on queries with ads, users prefer us 9 out of 10 times to ad-supported engines. Which speaks to what you are saying!
As of my last update in January 2022, I can provide insights into Neeva Search, a privacy-focused search engine, but I'm not specifically aware of its availability for Android. However, I can share some general thoughts about Neeva Search and its potential implications if it were to be available on Android:
