Pros and cons of Yahoo Search app for iPhone and iPad
Yahoo Search app good for
This is basically an upgraded version of Yahoos Inquisitor App. Has a refreshing user-interface, plus it remembers your previously browsed results based on keywords. Unlike Google and Bing which display related search results based on the starting letters, it gives choices which might even end with that keyword (Try typing Jolie on the others, only Yahoo displayed Anglina Jolie as the first result). Overall a solid search application.
I love the looks of this app, but wheres voice search? I cant seem to find it anywhere in here. (Running an iPhone 4 in Canada with iOS 4.0.2.) I can use voice search in Yahoo!s other app, but it isnt as well-designed as this one.
Accurate data. Click to call numbers that work....! unlike some of the other search apps.
1st-The App works great via voice controlling on my iTouch 4. Contrary to other reviews. Why Bing is unable to bring this featcher to Canada is a complete mystery to me.
This is by far the best search engine app Ive had! It actually searches relevant information! Google when you search something it just gives random crap! Yahoo Search never gives you random crap! Great job!
Needs a better U.I. More like the Google search app but despite this it is better than the Google search app.
Some bad moments
It crashes sometimes n theres no voice search for the iPod touch. Crap
Error trying to open the microphone application!
Get with it Yahoo!
I wanted to ask something but it wont accept any pictures Ive tried all of them just for the sake thinking well maybe its the picture NOPE nothing I redone loads the picture still nothing it needs fixing
Tries to mimic Google but doesnt get it right. Cant classify searches into videos or images unless the engine feels you should have them. Looking for a new app that gives me the control.
Please bring back the original app it was built perfectly with the easy slide to photos videos and web and even the turn off history and age restrictions! The app is now a complete mess! Unless it is fixed I shell never download it again tell there is a update bringing back the original!
Why can you not mail a search, or leave a note. Both ? Get it done !
