# Why choose Galactic?
Galactic offers a browsing experience unmatched on Apple Watch, with headlining features including:
+ An unrivalled design made for Apple Watch.
Galactic's design has been meticulously refined for the Watch. While competitors take you to a search engine's website to squint at tiny text, Galactic displays results in-line with a native look and clear text.
+ Faster performance.
Because Galactic doesn't need to load an entire webpage for every search query, you can get the results you're looking for much faster than on most competitors.
+ High-quality results.
Galactic partners directly with search engines that are used by millions of people each day for their detailed and accurate results.
+ The best web compatibility on the market.
Galactic offers enhanced compatibility with the web, with multiple web renderers for when one can't load your content.
+ Seamless integration with your iPhone.
Receive a notification on your phone when you send a result to it, and jump right in with a single tap.
+ Comes with Galactic for Apple TV.
Your purchase of Galactic for Apple Watch also comes with Galactic for Apple TV – the best way to search the web on the big screen.
# More Information:
Galactic is privacy conscious. I, the developer, do not collect or access your data, including your search history. However, by using the third-party search engines it ships with, you are subject to their privacy policies: hence for honesty and clarity, the app's privacy label reflects these engines. You can opt out of this by bookmarking a search engine of your choice.
Due to hardware limitations, certain websites may not behave correctly on such a small device – though this is a rare occurrence. Additionally, Galactic also cannot store cookies.

Hi there, thank you for your review. It appears you’re referring to the Apple TV version of Galactic. Unfortunately, apps are not capable of opening websites directly on Apple TV. Such a limitation is sadly uncontrollable, but was made clear early in the app’s description. If you’d like to request Apple allow such functionality, please reach out to them: https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-tv/.A recent update to Galactic allows you to browse the web by streaming websites from your iOS device to your TV - which offers a markable improvement upon standard screen mirroring, as Galactic now allows you to browse in full 16:9, and at a zoomed-out scale to match your TV.If you have any other concerns, please reach out to application.help.m@gmail.com.

Hatte mir es für das AppleTV als I-Browser runtergeladen. Geldverschwendung, man kommt nicht auf die Webseiten sondern bekommt nur Suchergebnisse. Müll

Hello. Sorry to hear you don't think Galactic is for you. Due to limitations with the Apple TV, Galactic can't open websites on the TV without the help of another device. To alleviate the problems with such limitations, Galactic allows users to browse previews of websites without their phone, search the web without their phone, and more. Unlike using Safari and normal screen mirroring, you can also browse websites in widescreen when using your phone as a controller. Each of these are impossible without Galactic. Galactic explains all of its limitations on the App Store product page, including in images and the description. If you are unhappy with the app, you are encouraged to request a refund from Apple. Contact david@mazzeoapps.com if you have concerns.

Wirklich Quatsch, die Ergebnisse der Websuche öffnen einen QR-Code. Bringt mir nichts, wenn ich das Handy dann doch nutzen muss.
