### 2/5 — Horrible downgrade from Bing app

*2024-10-01, version 2.22.4*

Literally wasted half a day trying to fix some weird glitch. Microsoft equalizing a 3 trillion market company boggles my mind as the apps are garbazzzzh

### 1/5 — The worst Ads Platform

*2024-09-25, version 2.22.4*

No human involvement, simply bad bots , no support , no security, just fraud ads to consume your revenue

### 1/5 — Hours of setup - unjustly denied

*2024-06-03*

Complete waste of time. Spent hours setting up the account just to get pulled down before serving any impressions. I own a poke restaurant group in Tampa bay and wanted to test Microsoft ads. Guess I’ll keep our spend on Google / Meta. 

To be specific, they said they suspected me of not being legit, so their program asked me to upload bank statements, validate that I own the domain, show articles of incorporation, EIN numbers. Provided it all. Close to a dozen documents. Smh.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We regret the inconvenience caused and would love to help you fix this issue. Please contact our Microsoft Advertising Support team at msamobilesupport@microsoft.com and we’ll investigate further.

### 3/5 — Search Term Mobile Managament

*2024-02-23*

Trying to give feature suggestion but points here so.. please add search terms to mobile app as Microsoft’s close variants are not very good and need to be closely monitored. 
Currently search terms are only available on desktop and the close variants are nowhere near the quality of Google Search terms.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We regret the inconvenience caused and would love to help you fix this issue. Please contact our Microsoft Advertising Support team at msamobilesupport@microsoft.com and we’ll investigate further.

### 2/5 — Bank detail update big

*2024-02-08, version 2.21.18*

The iOS mobile app doesn’t let you edit or update bank details please update as this is inconvenient and basic functionality

### 2/5 — Mobile app Compare Date feature

*2023-11-18*

I would love to view a day compared to the same day but different week.  I want to compare how any day is performing by viewing, cost impressions or clicks or Ctr and compare how that metric is doing by the hour on on day against the same metric of the same day of week but on a different week. 

Right now I can compare it to the previous day. That’s not super helpful because a Saturday doesn’t perform the same as a Friday in our business and I think MANY businesses.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We regret the inconvenience caused and would love to help you fix this issue. Please contact our Microsoft Advertising Support team at msamobilesupport@microsoft.com and we’ll investigate further.

### 1/5 — Zero star

### 1/5 — No longer works with apple update

*2023-09-13, version 2.21.12*

Can login to desktop but can no longer login to app. It says network issue. Either fix or I’m headed back to google ads.

### 1/5 — Paper clip man company strikes again

*2023-08-21, version 2.21.11*

Just downloaded the app, and it has been rendered dysfunctional

Once again, I am reminded that large companies place no value on your time.

### 1/5 — This ads are so

*2023-07-18, version 2.21.8*

Bad experience blocking your account without reason
