Initial launch and set up

After launching the app for the first time, I was surprised that there was literally no setup involved.

Granted, there are two screens presented at first launch. But they're hardly set up screens; they just have a bit of info on what the DuckDuckGo browser can do for you.

The first screen tells you a little about its privacy features and functionality.

The second shows a short video of adding DuckDuckGo to your device's homescreen dock, essentially suggesting you replace Safari.

Here are the 2 screens in order:

Right after you press "Start Browsing" on the second welcome screen, you do just that - you just start browsing!

I will admit that being thrown straight to the browser's start page was a little jarring, even for someone experienced in setting these kinds of things up.

I could understand how someone with less experience could be a little intimidated.

It could be beneficial if the developers added another screen. Perhaps one that identifies some of the unique privacy and security features that DuckDuckGo has to offer.
