Searchr is a program that seeks to streamline many of the processes you perform on your iPhone or iPad through directed searches and quick actions. Get the search results you're looking for and increase your efficiency when you use this handy app.

Pros

Directed searches: When you search for something through this program, you can specify exactly where you want your results to come from. To do this, all you have to do is check off places you want to include in your search from the provided list. Options include eBay, Google, Google Drive, Amazon, Reddit, and tons more.

Messaging and more: But searching isn't the only thing this app facilitates. In fact, it also gives you quick access to Messaging, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts, a Dictionary, and more.

Cons

Title cut-offs: Some of the functions and search areas featured have titles longer than the space provided where they are listed. However, there is no way to see the full title, even if you select that item; and horizontal viewing isn't supported.

Integrated ads: Banner ads are inserted above the search results, but below the Search Bar, making them easy to hit by accident or mistake for part of the app itself. There are also other larger ads that pop up from time to time.

Bottom Line

Searchr can help you streamline a lot of processes by eliminating the necessity to constantly switch from one app to another to perform different functions. You can try it out for free, and if the ads don't bother you, you'll never have to pay anything. If you do want to remove the ads, you can do so through an in-app purchase of $2.99.
