gerard martin stadalius (ID: 000000fc080dc373) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/04/2023 Not worth what it says,it is more of a bookmark and the android app as well,is just the website it is not a full app it uses a ne tab in google chrome.Very dissapointing and avoid this at all cost.

KAREM NOEMI VAZQUEZ FAUSTO (ID: 000000a5397c5886) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/31/2023 Me encanta! me ayuda muchisimo en mi dia a dia y hace todo mas sencillo. Me ahorra mucho tiempo! El futuro es you.com!!

Axel (ID: 000000d12e353856) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/13/2023 Nicely made extension, however the forcing of the search engine change is unacceptable for me. I (!) decide which search engine is activated. Currently I use another search engine and its extension can not activate the search engine. Currently I test you.com first and as default search engine remains the other. Since the you.com extension does not allow this, I have deleted it

Matt Im (ID: 0000004f29a4d0c7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/01/2023 absolutely love it! The ability to implement a chat bot with every search and to have it re-explain concepts to you in various ways that enhance your understanding is truly amazing! I hope you guys can keep it up

Sorin Acela (ID: 00000084eef28366) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/05/2023 This in not an extension! It is a bookmark in disguise. It also messes up with you default search engine by hijacking it.
