Ratings and Reviews
Reliable and safe.
I’ve always had positive experiences with bing, and the app is no different. Just as reliable as google, and just a little bit safer when using safe search mode, and opening private tabs.
I also searched the definition of several different words, and was pleasantly surprised to find that bing will give you an optional grammar quiz to help you retain the definition you just read. I’m excited to see what other little surprises wait for me as I continue to search with bing!
Came for reward, stayed for good product
While I’m still new to the app, I’ll say “if you like Bing, you’ll like the app”. It’s looks great and easy to use with no issues yet but some things could be different. Only reason why I gave 4 star not 5
Bing itself is great IMO. I used bing like 3 years ago just to get rewards but it is now my number 1 search engine. IMO the image search is way better than other search engines and is easy on the eyes, and it’s safe even on moderate search.
The BIG G is still good and can’t say overall which is better but I love Bings unbiased searches and the fact they don’t censor negative terms about political figures, like G was caught doing back in 2016. I also think their image search comes up with better results and love all the extra options.
Buggy
I use this app every day. Mostly because I want a dedicated search app on my home screen and I want to keep earning those Bing points.
-But-
Let's be honest. This app has been buggy for years. My primary complaint is the tab management. Tabs left open often do not accurately reflect the last page viewed. The tab previews get all screwed up and the actual tabs get mixed up, often resulting in tabs cannibalizing one another. This makes things very frustrating when trying to find past search results I had open on a tab or a page I had navigated to. It really makes using this app feel unreliable.
I've even had private mode tabs show up in regular mode. I don't use private mode anymore for that reason.
Tab issues have been around since I started using this app over a year ago...will they ever be fixed or will this app be abandoned first?
