1. One touch to launch a Google search
2. Landscape view for easy typing
3. Launches a google search in Safari with your search terms

I got it. I tried it. Here’s what I think…

2. Type in https://www.google.com/m

3. Hit "Enter"

4. Hit "+" on the bottom of the screen.

5. Hit "Add to Home Screen"

Come on. A dollar for that? Get the Google App or use the method above for free.
