THE WORLDS MOST PRIVATE WEB SEARCH APP
Ixquick Search gives you convenient mobile access to Ixquick.com, the worlds most private search engine.
It lets you search for information privately and anonymously, from the convenience of your smartphone or other mobile device.
Its the perfect tool for iron-clad privacy protections, plus great search results.

COMPLETE SEARCH PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY
Other search engines capture your search terms and record the links you click on, then use tracking cookies to build a detailed profile of you and your interests.
At Ixquick, our zero data-collection policy and full SSL encryption is your assurance that nobodys looking over your shoulder, no matter what you search for.
We dont collect any personal information on our users.
We dont store your IP address, we dont capture your location, and we dont record what you searched for.
In fact, we keep no records on you at all. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

OVERVIEW OF IXQUICK SEARCH PRIVACY FEATURES

- Ixquick Search protects you from physical intrusion by deleting your searches and Web history after a set time delay, or the app is closed or suspended. With one tap of your Home button, your searches are gone.
- Ixquick Search strips out your search terms, so they can’t be seen by the websites you visit.
- Ixquick Search never uses tracking cookies, and rejects tracking cookies from websites you visit.

PRIVATE PROXY SURFING FEATURE
When you need extra privacy, youll love our Proxy. It works by copying the web page you want to visit onto our server, so you see it through us, not them. Because you never make contact with the third-party website, they cant infect you with cookies or malware, and they cant see your IP address or other information. They only see us, while you stay safe and invisible behind the scenes.

You can use the Ixquick Proxy to access any website you find through a Ixquick search. Simply click the "Proxy" link under the search result.

Note: For security reasons, the Proxy restricts web forms and Javascript, and websites may not be optimized for mobile devices (since we dont even tell them youre on a mobile device!)

Pros and cons of Ixquick Search app for iPhone and iPad

Ixquick Search app good for

They are not interested in shoe size or individual thoughts. Amazingly quick and sorts searches by date instead of popularity!
I found this search engine and duck duck go. I wasnt sure which to choose until dark duck go appeared as a default search engine on safari. As soon as a company enters mainstream, I stopped trusting him and look for a smaller company. This is my alternative.
Total privacy! On some search engines Your likes interests and sites visited are ALL recorded. NOT with Ixquick/Start page. None of your personal information is recorded or even stored. And nobody can see your search history. I love this app!
Have been using this on my computer, phone, and lap top for over a year. Great for protecting your privacy. Recommend it to all.
Best app ever! Keeps all searches safe from the naughty eyes of Uncle Sam! Got to love that!!

Some bad moments

There appears to be an issue with the app. It opens then if you type more than 2 letters it fails and closes.
Ix the only search engine you need! Sorry couldnt resist, but seriously, why wouldnt you want to keep your online life private? People think that just because its the internet, everything you type or search is fair game, well thats crap, it doesnt have to be.
Its great to know there are some people and organizations providing apps such as this one in this day and age of technology. With such a big push for society to all get connected somehow thru either handheld devices smartphones, smart TVs etc its no wonder privacy has become even more of a concern. Great app and more comfort to know safe browsing exists and privacy is taken into consideration more so than other providers. Keep up the great work!!!!!!
There are no words to describe how good this search engine performs. . .and it protects your privacy, which is beyond great!
Ive always thought it was creepy how just within the last year facebook would have random advertisements that I could relate to. Didnt think much of it until i saw things i had actually just purchased pop up. Talk about creepy...& then they started those surveys on your fav books & where u went to school & it would have options!! Of places that I actually attended. That is when i started getting sketched out & looked for an alternative source. Thank you so much!
I hate google. Because ad s and u can look up bad things. Now they need a ixmail just like gmail and ix plus like google plus
