# 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.
