8 of 25My search screen is all jumbled and no search bar. I can only click on a topic and back out of that to get a search bar. Words are all on top of each other. It’s HORRIBLE!!!! I just can’t deal and to get any help you have to pay!!!??? I’ll find something else that works. And I’ve been using yahoo for years. Good Bye
So an update that doesn’t even work. Put in a search and nothing happens. Absolutely not a goddam thing happens. Thanks a lot for nothing.
This new upgrade if very bad. It doesn’t have a good search field is messy and sloppy!!!!! Please go back to a more sturdy app. It is messy and no voice search.
Please make it so the user may decide if they want the AI or the normal web browser because I’m tried of having to switch over every time I open the app
Straight garbage
When I update , close it out and go back to App it still says I need to update!!! Agravating
Horrible . Absolutely horrible. Slow, loss of direct browsing. Required to sort thru nonessentials. I don’t need a hostess.
Remove AI!!! Can’t be trusted, worthless results.
