### "It's ok to Bing it sometimes."

July 31, 2019

5.0

I use bing when I need a video search done or when I am scanning the news and it has been a very convenient experience for me.

Pros

In the end many people will question why use Bing search mostly because of Google's dominance. The major advantage you have is the visual elements bing uses to bring context to the search. If I want to find a documentary, a picture will be added to add the proper context. Believe it or not bing search is a way better place to find videos on a search engine. Also bing gives you reward points for searching, while prizes vary on your interest I imagine a 5 dollar gift card for something for a weeks worth of search is not a bad deal.

Cons

Overall google is still a better search engine when it comes to information that is more obscure. There is tons of legitimate information on the "backapages" of the internet that Google allows you to get to if you know where to look that bing does not have. If you image search Pluto, you might get higher quality pictures but you might get more planets on google then bing. You have to more specific with what you search on bing.

### "Visual Searching you've always wanted."

June 30, 2025

5.0

My overall experience was great it's affordable, easy to to use, and I can use it on my mobile phone or desktop. Would 100% refer this to my friends and/or family.

Pros

How you can take a photo of anything whether it be a plant or an animal or a rock and it can identify what it is through the picture. It's also very simple and easy to use

Cons

The only thing I disliked was it offered no free trials other than that I was 100 percent satisfied.

### "Using Bing"

November 30, 2023

2.0

The experience with the interaction is pleasant but the constant interruptions of ads makes it annoying.

Pros

What I like most about using bing is the interconnection it makes in your searches, since it relates you immediately with the topics you request in your searches.

Cons

The unpleasant thing is the constant interruption of commercials or annoying announcements.

### "I see you Bing!"

January 30, 2025

5.0

Took some getting used to, breaking the habit of only using text to search is difficult but sometimes too many or too few words or descriptions can complicate the process.

Pros

The wide range of products that are either exact matches or like the product in the picture this app can bring up is pretty helpful and the image doesn’t even have to be that great

Cons

That I don’t use it as often as I’d like to

### "Bing Visual Search Review"

September 14, 2023

5.0

I had an overall positive experience with Bing Visual Search and it has helped me in gardening and travelling. Using Bing allows me to write more accurate reviews and grow more beautiful flowers.

Pros

I like how Bing Visual Search could help locate landmarks and identify different flower species.

Cons

Bing Visual search can't identify snapshots from movies.

### "Bring Your Search Needs With Bing"

December 15, 2021

1.0

Pros

For starters, Bing Visual Search allows you to easily reverse search the image you want to know. It also protects younger members of your family by discarding sensitive images as your search.

Cons

What I like the least about the software is the limited amount of images it can scan in the reverse image functionality. There are times that it provides results that are way different than the intended search.

### "The Most Intelligent Reverse Image Search Tool"

January 21, 2022

5.0

As a digital marketing analyst and content creator, I have to search for inspiration. I can easily use this tool to get inspiration from my surroundings. Also, since I have to travel a lot to different countries, I can use Bing Visual Search to read public signboards and instructions written in their language. It always works like a charm. It has got some unique features that the competitors lack. For example, I can easily find out pages containing the exact image so that I know who has created content on that particular topic.

Pros

Bing is not the best search engine out there, but its Visual Search tool is very intelligent. It can accurately detect the content of a picture and match it with a huge database. The best part of this tool is its simplicity. You can easily access it from your mobile devices well as your Windows computer. The web version runs on any browser and the design is user-friendly. It works as a great OCR too. Most of the time the detection was swift and accurate. Overall, it gives me a much better experience than its competitors.

Cons

This tool is nearly perfect with some minor issues. Since it uses data from the original Bing search engine, sometimes the algorithm doesn't work perfectly. If the developers can work on the searching algorithm along with the integration with major operating systems it would be awesome.

### "Never found better image searching app than Bing Visual Search"

February 8, 2021

5.0

Overall it is best Visual Search app. I'll recommend you to try it, you will be amazed.

Pros

Bing Visual Search is The most convenient, the most reliable, accurate than others. You can simply just drag and drop images, or add URL of that image, just browse your device or just drop a text on search bar. The best app for searching any image on web. It is very easy. If you want to get some facts and knowledge about any object around you, just click a picture and upload it on Bing Visual Search you'll get what you want.

Cons

One thing which I want to point out that I think they should work on there "object recognition system" in the image. Sometimes the result is not that much accurate, so Bing Visual Search should work on there search result accuracy.

### "It's an interesting idea, with lots of room to grow"

April 10, 2019

4.0

When doing research to make sure a stock image (usually from Adobe or Corbis) isn't being used by competitors in a similar spread or campaign, this is a simple way to check for public-facing sites using the same image, with a high-degree of confidence in the results. Its false-positive rate is pretty low, and usually is better than Google Image Search at darker images. The biggest hurdle is that many people still don't think of Bing as a place to search, and default to Google. As the service is free, the price can't be beat.

Pros

Searching with an image using Bing is (as of this writing) much easier than Google or TinyEye. Simply clicking on the camera in the search bar on the bing.com homepage is all that's required to start the process.

Cons

I do no understand why there is an option to take a photo. If I'm trying to search for an image, it would not be of one I have just taken. I can't understand why this feature exists.

### "Review of Bing Visual Search"

February 7, 2020

4.0

A major benefit of Bing Visual Search is that it is easy and simple to use. I highly recommend using it! It has valuable filtering options for you to find your images and streamline your experience.

Pros

What I liked most about Bing Visual Search is that it is easy to use and comes with almost the same features as Google Search. Additionally, it connects with Microsoft Rewards, so with every search you make, you receive points towards an incentive.

Cons

What I liked least about Bing Visual Search is that it does not always show the best images. I have compared it with Google Images by searching for the same picture and ended up finding better, more relevant ones on Google Images.

### "My review of Bing visual search"

October 31, 2022

5.0

As far as what I use it for (image search in private browsing) it’s wonderful. It’s like your tool chest. Every tool has a specific purpose. Early isn’t a tool that does everything. Bing has its uses so be aware of that and you’ll be very happy with it.

Pros

I think the image search in private browser are my two favorite things because I pull up images a lot for research and the private browser is nice because it doesn’t carry over that information into your Amazon account and give away what you were shopping for for a spouse or relative.

Cons

It’s not my every day browser, but it certainly has. It uses like the ability to catalog and categorize your searches I just like the organization of Safari and Google chrome a little better.

### "A new way to search fit for the 21st century"

May 25, 2021

5.0

I often commission articles from writers around the world and request that they send images to accompany their writing. To check that writers have not plagiarized images and just taken them from other websites, I use Bing Visual Search to track exactly where the images appear on the web.

Pros

When I am traveling to research for articles that I am writing, I find it useful to be able to open the Bing Visual Search software and snap a shot of a landmark and quickly find more information about it. What is even better is that I can find items online to purchase based on the photos that I search with. This saves me time and effort.

Cons

The only issue I have is relevant to any searches via Bing, specifically that it is not Google and thus the search results are limited in comparison to those via Google.

### "Searching Via Images"

May 16, 2019

4.0

Overall, the visual representation of my research group's studies has helped us get accredited to some of the reports made or in general, provide visual context to what we research. Bing Visual Search is just right for those that wishes to visually accredit their businesses or groups.

Pros

A picture is worth a thousand words. Well, thanks to Bing Visual Search, I am able to do just that. Thanks to the easy access and rapid results, this feature has brought much convenience for me as a college student. Although I do not own a business, I can see the potential in this feature as it allows my peers to search up some of my research-related images and certain supplies.

Cons

I do find it a little bothersome that the results are not fully specified to the image of interest. Sometimes the images that my peers would search wouldn't trace back to my group's website.
