- Operyl 5y agoNever got an invite, lost interest. Apple's product seems just as good to me.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoI think they kept it free, had an invite system that gave invite no one ever. Tried twice then out of mind, out of sight. Basically it seems like a gimmick or app-download-bait.
- cinntaile 5y agoI received my invite a while back. Maybe 2 months ago?
- crossroadsguy 5y agoI didn’t get. Kept the app installed for about two months. Was still waiting for beta access when I uninstalled it. I never used the app as browser or anything. Neither gave it notification permission. Maybe that was the reason.
- cinntaile 5y agoI signed up on a waiting list, I don't use the app.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoI am not aware of any waiting list for this service other than installing the DDG app and signing up for the waiting list via app settings. I had searched around. It seemed that was the only way. At least by DDG officially.
- rsync 5y agoWait - why would you need an app for this ? This interface is a half page web form, right ? Right ?
- greenyoda 5y agoRight. I use two other e-mail forwarding services, and neither one requires an app or a browser extension - they're controlled through simple web interfaces. While I'm a happy user of DDG's search engine, their e-mail service is not something I'd use.
