Bing and Start apps completely broken on surface duo 2

The Bing app and its stable-mate 'start' are completely broken on surface duo 2. News is unreadable, with flickering while the app hunts for a display aspect. Comments are also broken and refuse to show more than two comments. There is zero gesture support which the surface duo uses for interactions. Overall, a completely subpar experience for a Microsoft app on a Microsoft handset, a $2500 handset no less. This is appalling for such an expensive device that comes from your company. Fix it please.

I've also tried to log the issue through multiple supplied email addresses which all have bounced, which is not a good look.

    I have been having the same exact experience for months. In addition to what you describe, the home page of Bing app also only shows 1/2 of each tile in the left column. I don't understand how Microsoft can let this continue for so long on their own premium device. It's very discouraging!
