Dear Creative Contrarian,

Thank you for your review. We appreciate it.
Please find below our detailed response and we will be happy to set up a live call to show / clarify / take further feedback because some of it does NOT sound correct.

"The idea is really good, but current ads are rarely found here; instead, there are ads that you can't directly find in, for example, the Meta Library." - 6M ads are in the library and that's as good if not higher than any other such (small set of libraries out there). Rome was not built in a single day and our wedge is NOT to have every ad (that's not possible legally and here is an open 100$ bet - take it?) if you show me someone who has FULL Meta library. For YouTube we have a lot (if not all but then we don't claim things we can't prove). Now, let's talk wedge - Can I ask for you to confirm if Meta ad library does computer vision analysis on ads to give you the SWOT analysis, detailed scene by scene transcript, improvement ideas (and soon make similar ad).

Smartness over blunt downloads - we cannot cover niche (and yet added 100k new ads this week btw on the keywords and brands users requested - is that small for 1 week? If you want I can send you exact IDs to prove my authenticity). So, we have added a new feature in "analyze" where you can upload the ad copy or TikTok ad URL link (and soon Meta) and we will do the analysis + download behind the scenes. Doesn't that solve the above limitation of not being able to find every ad out there?

"The interface is confusing and poorly thought out..." Point taken - and we have come here to see how users are using it and would love users to give us feedback. No designer can replace actual customer feedback when tested at scale. So, please tell us specific ideas!

"Brand colors via logo upload or the link to the brand site are not correctly applied.
The selection of templates is limited and not really outstanding.." - Not sure why you say that. Only for once specific workflow (Meta e-commerce consumer physical product), which is marked in Beta the brand colors were not being used (but that's also shipped now). For all other workflows and templates we use BRANDS primary, secondary, tertiary - in fact we pull the colors automatically (and you can always change them). Till date only 4 colors were wrongly interpreted and that too because someone had changed their site recently (we use a 3rd party library of logos and they were informed to refresh). I am open to a live challenge on say 50 sites we test it on a live youtube session. Say what?

"Even though the language was set to German, the outputs were in English." - This doesn't sound correct - regularly users are making ads in non English. If you tell me what workflow led you to that then I will be happy to clarify or correct. Most likely you used the beta workflow and felt disappointed but please work with us if in case we missed something.

However, I think that even though no ads are displayed in many categories, the ads discovery tool is quite cool.

"What bothers me a lot is that when I add a brand and choose a category, the ads displayed are based on that. I find this limiting because I would like to transfer something that works very well in another market to my own market!" - I am sorry but this is as simple as only doing a keyword search and not putting any country filter. You have full library to watch, analyze without filter restriction.

I definitely recommend everyone, when it comes to finding ads and learning a bit more about them, to purchase Quickads. This is definitely a good investment. Pretty low investment to start if you haven´t any Ad Discovery tool in your box!
