  • Keeps logging me out

    Every time I go to favorite a boat I have to log back in and then I have to select my search again and find the boat I was looking at. Otherwise it's pretty good.
  • Crashes, and has trouble keeping place when returning to listings

    The app crashes and restarts without saving your search data. It has trouble keeping you in place where you were scrolling when returning back to search results after viewing a listing. This means you will have to scroll through a couple of dozen listings again just to find where you were at. Then when it’s all done and you’ve resumed where you were, it crashes when you click on another ad...

    Other than that the sorting functions are very competent and so are the search parameters, good job there.

    Only other thing this that you cannot choose to view pictures larger and it would be nice to have a picture viewer like Zillow to see the photos easier.

  • Worst app I have ever used

    It is astounding that it is so highly rated. Makes me suspicious. It constantly freezes. Every action you do seems to be a delay. You are bombarded with ads (probably a good part of the problem). Every time you click done to get out of a boat listing, it erases all your filters you just created, so you have to start your search all over again. Sometimes it won’t even show the done button, so you have to close the app completely and reopen it. It doesn’t allow you to save any filter settings in your profile for quick searches later. It is truly the worst app I have ever used. By the way, I’m using an iPad that’s fully updated.

  • Great & in need of refinement

    This is a huge step up from the broken Boat Trader site I used to use. There are a few nit picky things left to update. 1: hitting back shouldn’t log you out. I feel this is just a bug. 2: a better browser search interface. Maybe a list of manufacturers could be helpful.

    Still tho, much, much better than before :)

  • Good app— however

    This app is good, you are able to search for boats relatively east.
    However... if I’m doing a search specifically for used boats, 2014 and under, I still get bombarded with 2019 (new boats) from dealers... please fix this.... I understand these places generate revenue, but the bottom is covered in ads. It makes me think the app is artificially generating things outside of my search- which destroys any confidence I have in it.

  • Why?

    I gave it three stars because it works, but I can’t find any reason to use it instead of the mobile website.

    You can create an account with your email on the website, but can’t use it on the app. The app doesn’t have any more functions than the website. It still has ads. The look on the app is slightly better, but not enough to overcome the other shortcomings.

    Overall, I don’t see any reason to use this app, and I have gone back to the website.

  • Enjoying so far

    1. I would like to see only new listing when I return to a saved search (like eBay app)

    2. Option to enlarge and zoom on photos would be very helpful.

    3. Option to view hull styles like cat, flat, V etc. would make searching easier.
  • Terrific app

    Like a lighthouse sending a beacon of hope, this app will guide you to to the safe waters of a comfortable and easy boat purchase. Intuitive and comprehensive, the format of the BT app is comfortably appointed to make your next boat purchase as easy as putzing around with Jimmy Buffet playing in the background!
