Ecosia Reviews 286

I liked it. Handy and easy-to-use. Let's plant some trees!

The idea of planting trees and not collecting information is wonderful!!! But it is quite slow and many times comes up with an error messege and I have to start all over again. It is very limited for finding local events, as I live in a small Southamerican town. So I alternate with google which I have in another browser. I expect that, with more use, it will work better.

Ecosia is a crappy search engine. It works fine if you want to find what you're not looking for... in all circumstances it's rubbish

Good search engine in most cases. Something similar to google scholar would be nice.

We should all use Ecosia
It is helping our planet and has motivated me to do more!

Ecosia is very cool, please install it to get swag

i'm on a school computer and i cant download it on to my computer so i was wondering if i have to add it 2 my computer for it 2 start planting trees?? if so pls change that ur holding me back from saving the world =)

brilliant environmentally friendly alternative to google

I have just un-installed from my MacBook... searching with Ecosia (it installed as add-on on top of my Safari browser) was simply frustrating, like searching 40 years ago. I would suggest the Ecosia development team shall sit a few days using Google search, just to get ideas and inspiration how a modern web search has to be. Sorry.

Great idea! I still Google from time to time but have mostly moved to Ecosia. Works almost as well but makes a difference

Don't waste your time, same censored BS

Ecosia I love your mission, but your usability could really use some work, please put more focus on User experience by hiring some extra UX designers and testers.

After using Ecosia for 3/4 months it annoyed me to the point of switching back to google even though I'm against their policies. Whilst using Ecosia I found myself regularly having to switch back to Google to effectively find what I was looking for.

I'll give an example of some usability problems: On Ecosia's app (IOS, Iphone XR), in the image search, when ticking on an image, the close button is so small that it's a 50% hit/miss, it almost feels like a minigame to try and press it, and when you miss it costs you time because it takes you to the site's link instead of back to searched images overview. A couple "small" things like these build up irritation and become very frustrating after a while.

Another one, on desktop, the image search shows many images that take you to a dead link when you want to see the fullsize version. Dead ends galore.

To s, Ecosia doesn't show you as effective or accurate searches as google would, I also miss the "shopping" feature.

Please Ecosia, I could not find a feedback option in your browser, that's why I'm giving this review in the hope you will UP your game. If you want to make a real difference in the world It needs to be just as good as the competitor's user experience. I wish you guys the best,

Regards,

I had 266 searches and then I decided to put an ecosia extension on Edge but my search got reseted

Just as easy to use as google, with fantastic search results. Started using it as my default browser last year and haven't once had to return to google. Very impressed with the functionality and usability and obviously the goal of ecosia is hugely admirable.

Ecosia is a fantastic search engine. Though it may not have the same image results as google, it is reliable and actually plants trees! I'm very happy that they have found a creative way such as this to save the environment. But as I said, the search results are not the same as Google's, and if I were to look up something specific I would use Google, but overall it is a great search engine, and I recommend it to all who believe there is hope for our planet.

A more trustworthy search engine than google and it helps the planet

Really good quality searchengine, no complaints. And they grow trees.
