Thanks @stevesi for hunting us! Hello, Product Hunt community! I am excited to introduce all of you to the new Neeva app for Android. For a honest new take on search that is free from bias and tracking, the app brings Neeva’s search engine and browser to the Android platform. 🤔 The Problem As Android users, we’ve learned to live with the pervasive tracking and ads that follow us around in our browser. We’ve learned to live with mobile search experiences with two screens of ads before we get to the results we are really looking for. We’ve learned to live without control over the sites we care to rank in the search results. We’ve learned to live with the lack of authentic search results from forums. We’ve learned to live with browsers that force us to search when it could just navigate us to the right result directly from the browser. If you are one of these users, the Neeva app for Android is just for you. A from-the-ground-up new browser with the best of Neeva Search. 🛠 Our Solution: We built the Neeva Android app with exactly one customer in mind. You. With the Neeva Android app, we kill all trackers. You have full control over the sites that rank in your search results, and can upvote/downvote them as you see fit. In lieu of search result pages full of ads and SEO, you get authentic results from the water coolers of the Internet, be it Reddit, Quora, Stack Overflow, or many others. Whenever possible, you get rich previews and full page search experiences that answer your query right away. And our FastTap feature saves you time by letting you completely skip the search results page and directly navigate to the pages you want to get to. We would love for all of you who are Android users to try out our app. Looking forward to your support and feedback here today. Here’s to reimagining the future of searching and browsing together.

Such a huge fan, particularly of Spaces and all the onebox-type features. Recipes are a total game-changer. No more scrolling through endless SEO content to understand what ingredients to throw in the cake!

As a Neeva user my favorite "feature" is not accidentally tapping on ads. Perhaps it's just my thumbs but that simple difference has saved me a *lot* of frustration - very easy to avoid ads when there aren't any! I've got some good news, Nachiketa: no waiting required, the ios app is live too :)

@rob_seger1 thanks for the shout out. In our studies, we find on queries with ads, users prefer us 9 out of 10 times to ad-supported engines. Which speaks to what you are saying!

A huge shout out to the Neeva team and @vivek_raghunathan1 . I have been using Neeva for over a year now, and the Android launch is particularly welcomed. I have always lived on Android, but now get the added benefits of simply better search and improved privacy.

Hey all, I’m so excited to share this new Android browser with you. I’ve been working on browsers for over 2 decades now, and as a tool that we use every day and take for granted, it is remarkable how much isn’t actually great about how browsers and search engines work–especially on mobile. We’re all used to scrolling past ads in web search results to find what we are looking for, skipping past sites that we know won’t have what we are looking for and just getting by with that as the status quo. We’re used to a browser that doesn’t do much to help us avoid ending up with a mess of tabs. We’re used to the overhead. We’re used to the clutter. For me, the opportunity with Neeva as an ad-free search experience has really been to explore and capitalize on how the experience can be more efficient, more direct, more helpful, more peaceful because you aren’t wading through ads and because the system isn’t trying to direct you to surfaces that would show you ads. Normal browsers of course make their money off of search ads revenue. They all pretty much have the same business model. Even the one from the fruit company. With Neeva, it’s different. We’re not trying to optimize the experience around how many times you see a search results page with ads. We are instead able to focus on helping you skip the search results page when possible via FastTap, or help you stay better organized so you can more easily get back to what you care about and not need to repeat your searches. In fact, we pride ourselves on how often we can help you skip past our search results page. Of course it is there when you need it, and we work to provide features in our search results page that help you better filter the content and see only what you care about. Personally, I love being able to click on the “Official Docs” button when I’m searching for an API reference. It’s also trivial to indicate that you want to see more or less content from specific sites for example. Anyways, this new Android app is us bringing the experience we created on iOS to Android with a bit of a twist. We wanted the experience to feel like it belongs on Android w/ a fresh design built on Material 3 and powered by Jetpack Compose. This new browser is a from-the-ground-up build for Android that embeds Chromium but does so in a novel way that enables us to isolate the complexity of Chromium from the rest of the app, enabling us to build a true modern Android app on top of Compose. Pretty cool stuff. Hope you will give the app a try and please stay tuned as we work to make it even better. We have a bunch of cool features on the way. This is just the start! And of course you can check out the app on iOS too if you aren’t an Android user. Either way we would love to hear your feedback, thanks! :-)
