Ecosia Customer Insights

1. It tells me alot about the care and sacrifices in other ways we all are making to keep the good news trending.I keep getting messages that "Ecosia has stopped working" and "do you want to force quit or wait?" Not just when the browser freezes, but also sometimes when it's just lagging a bit and sometimes when it's not even open amd I'm not using it.

2. It doesn't have the fancier features that Chrome does and the image search results needs work (some images get cut off when using it on mobile).

3. I liked the last version.I appreciate that something as simple as using this browser helps plant trees, which is why I have been using the app for at least two or three years now.

4. Other than that, the browser works fine, no slower than the Chrome app with very similar functions, and I'm happy to be helping a good cause!Love this app.

5. It simply doesn't have enough features to be a long-term daily driver; I'm better off just using Ecosia on my browser of choice.

6. Overall, incredible work, and let's hit our next milestone of 1.5 million trees!I love it! The resulting search for the same exact phrase or terms are either the same or very similar in the quality info yielded.

7. I hope this app continues to grow, improve, and plant lots more trees!I've never had an issue with Ecosia, and it works better than Chrome (on which I've had tons of unresolved issues).

8. While there's an ad blocker, there's no tracker blocker.The search browser is very good.

9. This app isn't just a search engine; it's a whole browser.

10. Not too often to be an issue though, just once in a while.While I enjoy the app and it works perfectly well in almost every respect, the image search isn't the best, so it's sometimes hard to find what I'm looking for.

11. The phone app (Android) doesn't give me any search server errors but the search on my mac computer sometimes does.
