Announcing the beta of our redesigned Android app!

4 years and 4 days ago posted by thom Staff

We’ve taken a lot of care to make sure that DuckDuckGo feels native and right at home on any Android device. Together, with new visuals to reflect Android Lollipop, we’re introducing several features to make searching faster, easier, and more fun.

The new app makes it easier to collect your favorite stories and searches in one place. Switching between pages and reaching page-specific options is much easier now that the menu has been simplified, and your recent and favorite searches are now part of the search process.

You can check out the beta for yourself right now. We would love to hear your feedback so we can improve our app even further. We’re listening!

Visit the following link on your Android phone to download the beta: https://duckduckgo.com/app/android.beta.apk . An associated sha1 is available at: https://duckduckgo.com/app/android.beta.apk.sha1 .

Disclaimer: After installing the beta it is not possible to install the official app without uninstalling the beta app. The beta is installed as an update to the official app. Your saved stories and searches will remain untouched and will appear in the beta app. Once the improved official app is released on Google Play you'll be able to update back to the official app. Your saved stories and searches will then again remain untouched and will appear in the official app.
