Cumbersome

I am particularly interested in YouTube ads. I haven't played around with Facebook etc. as I don't mess around with Facebook.

I really wanted to love it, but it is very cumbersome to use. Often, instead of saving the ad, it saves the video. I have to make sure I stop the ad, so I can manually get the URL.

On top of that, once the video is in the library, I saw no way to edit the title so that you can easily know what the ad is about without having to play the ad (but that could be me just not seeing the feature).

It can take ages to find an ad that is specific to the offer you are running. I played around for at least a couple of hours while watching TV. I couldn't figure out a good way to find ads specific to my offer.

In fact, I had to click video after video just to find videos with ads. If this tool at least had a way to show only videos with ads, then that could at least be helpful.

I think I will keep my one code because maybe the tool will improve, but unless you have time to just randomly watch ads to find one that fits your offer, then I personally do not understand the value of this tool.

Apparently, I need 10 codes to unlock all the features, but I'm not even sure what those features are or how a library of random ads is helpful.

For this tool to be useful, it needs a way to target ads so that you can look only at ads that match your offer.

Then again, it should be noted that I am a new affiliate marketer, so perhaps I just don't get it.

Overall, I am highly disappointed. I was hoping this was a wannabe Adbeats, Adplexity, etc alternative, but that appears not to be the case.

Thank you - I really appreciate that feedback. 2 points:

1. We cannot really scrape/collect/sell access to ads from a platform like Facebook/YouTube. That is often against their ToS and sooner or later tools that do this will get taken down. It's happened to us in the past, so we are careful :)

2. I will discuss with the developer as to what we can do about your suggestions - thanks for that.

We have a few updates lined up within Spyvio including making more assets available (crowd sourcing). Happy to see you will continue to be with us in the future.
