Ratings and Reviews
A good start
Glad they’ve made this, it is nice to have another option to control your data and footprint. There is an annoying bug right now where links often don’t open properly unless you try several times (across multiple sites). It’s a very new app so hopefully they will fix that soon.
Would be good to be able to lock the app with touch/faceid too

Just one last thing…
I've been using Startpage as my default search engine for years now. The search relevancy is excellent, and it's clear that Startpage has put in considerable effort to reach its current level of performance.
However, one thing that holds me back from using the Startpage app is the absence of a 'dark view' button, accessible through the 'burger menu' in the lower right corner. The ability to manually change the color scheme of any website at any time is crucial for me.
I strongly recommend that the Startpage app implements this feature for easy toggling. By addressing this, Startpage will truly achieve excellence.

Dark Mode for websites is on our radar. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us and thanks for caring about privacy!
Review
Being using the browser after finding the prompt for using StarPage as my default browser for a few days , took a tiny bit of time to get used to it again, but wouldn’t be without it.
