Review: Izik search engine for iPad is no Google killer
Izik for iPad, a free search engine app for your tablet, is a competent offering that distinguishes itself from better-known competitors like Google and Bing in two ways: First, it hearkens back to a day when search services pretty much only did search; you’ll not find yourself swamped in related email, calendar, and document apps here. Second: It has an aesthetic sensibility made for the tablet format, offering search results in a fashion that, say, Flipboard’s creators might appreciate.
Izik's results are broken down by type.
Does it do enough to replace those competing apps on your tablet? I’d say probably not.
Izik is easy enough to use. Open it up, enter a search term, and you get results. Instead of a never-ending list, though, Izik offers up rows of results. For a well-known figure like Secretary of State John Kerry, for example, you’ll get a capsule description of the man, followed by “Quick Answer” description from Wikipedia. The third row is recent news results, followed by a fourth row of top web results.
