Clearly, Bing is not for kids. Search engine. While this can be a great tool, it requires a vigilant and tech-savvy adult to approach a safe search. Microsoft offers quite a few parental controls and Safe Search features (like Windows Live Family Safety), but they’re not built into the Bing app. Some filtering is available, but not sufficient. A meager measure of creative search yields inappropriate results for your child and you, and the filter “lock” relies on self-reported age.
Students will learn how to search and gather information in a different way than they are used to with Google and other long-standing search engines..

Students can also tap key vertical menus such as Images, Videos, News, and Shopping. Use GPS location to see local routes, movies, maps, and weather forecasts. Bing has voice recognition just like the Google Search app, but Bing’s search box is available on every page. Depending on your device, tapping the box may also provide a list of popular search terms.

User’s overall consensus about the app
student involvement
Bing’s unique design makes it easy to search the internet, but it’s more consumer-based searches compared to Google, which can be distracting and irrelevant.
Curriculum and instruction
The internet is an essential learning tool (for better or worse), but the Bing search app lacks tutorials to teach you how to use it.
customer report
It may not have a built-in help function, but Bing is more intuitive than Google’s search app.
