Description
THE WORLD'S MOST PRIVATE WEB SEARCH APPStartPage Search gives you convenient mobile access to StartPage.com, the world's most private search engine.
It lets you search for information privately and anonymously, from the convenience of your smartphone or other mobile device.
It's the perfect tool for iron-clad privacy protections, plus great search results.
COMPLETE SEARCH PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY
Other search engines capture your search terms and record the links you click on, then use tracking cookies to build a detailed profile of you and your interests.
At StartPage, our zero data-collection policy and full SSL encryption is your assurance that nobody's looking over your shoulder, no matter what you search for.
We don't collect any personal information on our users.
We don't store your IP address, we don't capture your location, and we don't record what you searched for.
In fact, we keep no records on you at all. Nada. Zilch. Zero.
OVERVIEW OF STARTPAGE SEARCH PRIVACY FEATURES
- All searches are encrypted using powerful SSL encryption. That means your service provider can't see what you search for—and neither can hackers.
- Your searches are scrubbed and anonymized for privacy.
- StartPage Search protects you from physical intrusion by deleting your searches and Web history after a set time delay, or the app is closed or suspended. With one tap of your Home button, your searches are gone.
- StartPage Search strips out your search terms, so they can’t be seen by the websites you visit.
- StartPage Search never uses tracking cookies, and rejects tracking cookies from websites you visit.
- StartPage Search never records your IP address, search terms, or location.
OVERVIEW OF STARTPAGE SEARCH FEATURES
- Fully integrated web browser
- Full web-search capability with superior result quality
- Full image search
- Powerful Advanced Search capabilities
- Control over display settings and privacy features
PRIVATE PROXY SURFING FEATURE
When you need extra privacy, you'll love our Proxy. It works by copying the web page you want to visit onto our server, so you see it through us, not them. Because you never make contact with the third-party website, they can't infect you with cookies or malware, and they can't see your IP address or other information. They only see us, while you stay safe and invisible behind the scenes.
You can use the StartPage Proxy to access any website you find through a StartPage search. Simply click the "Proxy" link under the search result.
Note: For security reasons, the Proxy restricts web forms and Javascript, and websites may not be optimized for mobile devices (since we don't even tell them you're on a mobile device!)

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★It's been almost a month since that this browser works on just the images search mode!!! this Browser has some problems but not worse than other Apps, as well as STARTPAGE has unique advantages that none of the other Browsers have. (Anonymous Search, ghostly visit of websites, without Ads & Cookies, finds the stuffs that Google filters & also other apps never show &...ect). That's why I loved it. Thanks so much 🤘🏻👍🏻✌🏼
1 ★This review is based on my experience trying to access Startmail through the Startpage app. There isn't a Startmail app so I installed the Startpage app for that purpose. In this regard it's useless. One would think that Startmail would be accessible via Startpage, it's parent. It does bring up the Startmail log in screen but when I log in it will not accept or access the account. FYI I have a paid Startmail subscription but I have to use another app (Firefox in my case) to access Startmail. Throughout this I've discovered that Proton does have it's own very usable secure mail app. When my Startmail subscription expires I shall let it expire and purchase a Proton subscription. Bottom line - The Startpage app is halfway useless, and Startmail in general is very user unfriendly.
5 ★You must start with startpage, this app is the bomb !! Once you are in using it I've tryed to find my iP address and I havent been able too. So if you want to be truly incognedio you found it . But then again I dont know even if you'll read this suckers nan nan na nan na.... I know you can but if I wanted t o o .. ;)
1 ★new update is screwed up. App has own built-in browser & search bar , however , when you switch to mobile version as it suggests you try , all of a sudden you'll have another search bar (Chrome browser in my case) & all of a sudden everything your doing is an open book..2&3 days later I've found my search results visable in chromes recent tabs..I've even found my search in chrome History..Couldn't seem to explain myself to their support very well. GOT TO UNINSTALL.
4 ★It's best one but it would be of more worth when it will support darkmode
5 ★works great, doesn't keep my data unlike that big monster G and I am only wanting one more thing from start page, that is the ability to have a search bar on screen from start page, can anyone explain why clicking on that request button in the app does not open up a new window or give me the search bar that I seek? to further explain, nothing happens when I click on it that request
1 ★Well, after many years of using only this app as an alternative to Google search, I am finally deleting it. I am very sad to have to do so, but it really just isn't useful any more. For years, it has worked perfectly, other than the super long start up time. The last few months though, the results have gone all weird. Half the time the results have nothing to do with the search terms I have entered, and will almost show a whole page of duplicate results. It simply doesn't work any more.
2 ★Had high hopes after seeing Startpage being compared to DuckDuckGo so many times, often by a large percentile margin. Nonetheless, my experience was nothing near what I had expected. You're greeted right from the start with a text box is loosely translated to "Create a shortcut, our website is much better than the app" Well established company, I hope you can improve the app in the future; as I would love to try it again. Usage Time: 7~ Hours Searches: 27 Successful: 4/27 Irrelevant: 23/27
4 ★I really like this app! Privacy is a god given right and its invaded with so many things. To the Developers, A better GUI (for the other users, that means the look of the app) is severely needed. Lastly, an option to open a new tab. OR just make a full-blown browser. I would 100% use it and also install it on all my employees cell phones (550 roughly) . Add VPN service to that browser and I will pay happily. Great job!
4 ★The app needs a lot of polishing. but still useable.
1 ★Doesn't find anything anymore. It used to be good but now the search results are very poor. Many search phrases that I used in the past (and I did get useful results) now just return "nothing found" or with irrelevant results at best. Useless app. Uninstalling and switching to other providers.
5 ★This is a good start. Personal data protection will be the big buzz soon. The very companies that gave us mobile connectedness are using our every move as exploitable data. Their biggest customers are not your friends. The right to privacy in free societies has been taken while we were distracted by our shiny new toys. Apps that allow for privacy protection are the way of the future. My data is my data. {e}
