  • Big listings questionable cars, weak filters

    At first I was excited to browse, but the filters are the WEAKEST I've ever seen.

    You can filter by mileage, price, transmission, engine...nothing.

    The filters are "Era", nationality of the car (WGAF) or things like "parts"(?).

    Started to get excited about a listing and discovered in the 60 photos that the screen on the car was burnt out- no mention in the description. Blink-and-you-miss-it.

    I guess that for a sight-unseen car bidding system it sure has a low bar and offers no quality control on listings.

    Pass.

  • App doesn’t allow you to filter by location

    Essentially, you might need to bring a trailer 3000 miles. Not sure how this was missed as every other car sales app allows you to restrict the area you are searching within.
  • I haven’t tried to bid with this app

    It has this thing where it remembers whatever you looked at, and if the auction is closed, it will tell you final price. Brilliant.
  • Please fix your app!

    The videos play choppy. You have to restart the video 5 times just to get through them!!! Really frustrating! And before u say my phone is too old l, its a 1 year old iphone 14 with 1tb memory. Plus when I abandon the crappy app and just go to bring a trailer dot com all the videos run fine. SO IT IS DEFINITELY THE APP WITH THE PROBLEMS.

  • iPad version?

    Will there ever be a compatible app for iPads? Currently the website is far superior to this since only about 30% of available screen is used on the iPad version.
  • Just needs a “Near me” search

    Once they get a “Near Me” search that will go a long way but so far I’m having a good time looking through the auctions. Like that they require a lot of high res pictures and how you can comment on auctions and ask sellers questions for all bidders to see.
  • Excellent marketplace and app

    Only quibble would be the reserves are too high and often not met. But that’s a policy, unrelated to the app, so 5*
  • Bidding window problem.

    The black, bidding window at the bottom of an auction. The buttons overpower the bid. The dollar amount of the current offer is vertically listed on the left side. It’s hard to see what the actual number is. This is annoying and frustrating. I also do not see the countdown clock. You still have some fine-tuning to do. Please note I have larger fonts on my phone so I can see.

  • App is glitchy

    I enjoy the app but very often the comments section will suddenly collapse and only display the first several (oldest) comments. No way to see latest comments or bids. Have to exit the app, re-open it and search for the desired vehicle again. Need to fix this.
  • Very glitchy.

    Very glitchy. Often have to reload and refresh manually. I actually lost an auction because of an error in the app. I recommend bidding using the desktop site. Also, no iPad version (at least at this time).
