Understanding the App
The Lead Capture app has been available for some time and does not require Ad Studio to function. In fact, it was never a part of Ad Studio, and its functionality has always been available as a separate app.
Addressing Concerns
Some users have expressed concerns about the app’s low review rating, but it’s worth noting that many of the negative reviews were due to a bug that has since been resolved. Additionally, the app’s functionality has not changed, and it continues to be a reliable option for capturing leads from Facebook.
