Best Auction App

If you are comparing this to other big auctions this by far has the best UI. The app gets constantly updated to fix bugs and the programming team is actually competent when it comes to identifying issues. The filter menus are straightforward. Anyone who dislikes it is probably over the age of 40 and prefers an old school layout. I appreciate how the simulcast is extremely responsive on mobile and desktop. I know it’s happened on other platforms where your bid is delayed and you end up overpaying but not on here.

Updates make it inoperable

This business is fast paced one wrong move can really mess you up. Need an app that can keep up this is not it. Automatic logouts in the middle of the lane. No Face ID have to merge with something else. I understand the complications of someone else using your app but need for it to function when it matters most.

Horrible experience

Horrible experience with this company. Imagine sending a grievance letter via email and over 4 months and counting no response at all.

No access from older iPad.

Cannot download an older version,

Solid app

I think it’s one of the best apps out there for auction buying, needs things here and there like being able to sort by make. Overall solid app

Prices are expensive!

Almost every car on here is starting bids at way more than retail

Constant updates on issues that don’t get fixed

The app was great when I first downloaded it about a year ago, but recent updates seem to have introduced several issues. Features that previously worked—like viewing OBD codes—are no longer accessible. Additionally, the app crashes whenever I try to use the “View Summary” button. Hoping these problems get addressed soon.

Terrible app

Just absolutely the worst application and website there're possibly is for an auto auction. It's just incredibly insanely stupid.

Bugs all over the app

I have updated the app, downloaded it in all my other phones and have the same issues everywhere.
As soon as you click anything about the car, specially the codes stuff it keeps bringing you back to the last screen.

DAILY UPDATES!

This is crazy!
Can’t use the app without updating which is almost every 2 days. Constantly updating can’t do anything.

Unadulterated Trash

Who did you hire to make this APP? Kindergarteners from third world country?

Go back to the old app

This new app is horrible I miss the old app. Very disappointed in adesa. I’ve been going to adesa since 1989. Very very disappointed.

Not working properly

Since march 5 I have in app only Adesa clear, no way to choose Simulcast!!! When I log in, after I do sms code verification, I have running circle which never stops. So basically I can’t go further. After I restart app, it opens, but I have only clear. No Access to simulcast.
I deleted app completely, reset cache and deleted, nothing helps. If I log in with my Samsung, everything works fine.

No works worst app for auctions

No work on iphone17 I cant see my purchases my workbook

Embarrassing

Lowest point of their existence.

Adesa heavy duty truck and trailers

Adesa heavy duty truck and trailers why no acces to specials on app

Horrible app

Worst app ever for dealers

Best auction app IMO

This is a modern app that is very intuitive to navigate. It takes some getting used to because all the auctions we are used to working with are so behind on technology, but ADESA has really stepped up their game. Their recommendations are spot on with what I’m interested in, their vehicle values are very accurate and the app is really easy to use.

As of 11/26/25 this app is great!

Although when the transition happened this app was missing critical features vs the original one, as of today all those features are back in plus a bunch of other quality of life improvements!

Over complicated

Bring back the old app.
Basic app like the old version. Location. Should be able to keep home location. Then sort vehicle in a list by model. This app takes 10minutes just to set up. Also doesn’t have certain models in the list. This app is a fail.
