This makes this app very buggy and this overheating issue needs to be addressed. I've not had a problem with any other app ### 3/5 — The new app update *2026-09-02, version 7.57* Omg … why ? After the update the app went back 10 years ? Whyy ? It was soo nice before everything was easy and just perfect to find what you looking for . And now its awful … its soo bad i feel frustrated until i find what im looking for and im just going out if the app . It wasn’t necessary - whoever did this to the app ot ruined it . ### 2/5 — New update *2026-08-31, version 7.57* Unable to search by dealer since update. Sigh…. ### 4/5 — It’s good *2026-08-30, version 7.57* But not as good as it was . One of the spec sections is shallow. And the relevance search should be labelled random . But no mistake it’s hugely useful to the industry and customers ### 4/5 — Electric cars *2026-08-29, version 7.57* Great app but when looking at electric cars you need to add a battery health filter to all used cars to see the percentage. ### 3/5 — Poor filtering *2026-08-29, version 7.57* Frustrating limitation with the filters. You can’t select more than one model variant at a time, which makes searching far more time consuming than it needs to be. Same issue with car models themselves, if you want to compare something like a BMW 3 Series and 5 Series in one search, you simply can’t. Carsales in Australia handles this properly, letting you select multiples across all filters. Honestly, in this day and age it’s surprising Autotrader hasn’t already built this in, or can’t update to work this way. ### 2/5 — New search feature is awful *2026-08-26, version 7.56* Recently a change to the way you search vehicles rolled out, and my experience has not been good. When searching for vehicles and inputting your make and model it takes a good second to load whereas on the old one it was instant, that way when I press search it loads my search with 0 filters and displays all cars that are listed. Also it is much slower in general to select brands and specific filters as you don’t have a side bar with the first letters/alphabet to choose brands quickly. A search bar replaced this in which is much slower than just choosing the first letters of the brand. ### 2/5 — What have you done?? *2026-08-23, version 7.56* Whose bright idea was this update. I have been an auto trader fan for years and this latest update has ruined it. It is now slow I get bored waiting for it to update and switch off. Please change back. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it!! ### 3/5 — Needs better metrics for EVs *2026-08-23, version 7.56* I think this app is generally ok but when comparing EVs I want to compare the battery range on vehicles as that’s an important decision factor. ### 2/5 — New update ruined it *2026-08-22, version 7.56* Hi, long time user of autotrader. I have never had to leave a review on an app before but the new user interface is frankly terrible. Nothing wrong with the old version!!! Aint broke dont fix it…. ### 1/5 — New search *2026-08-22, version 7.56* Seems to be not as good as previous one ### 1/5 — New Update Is A Shambles *2026-08-22, version 7.56* I love Autotrader, it’s fantastic. However, the new update including the new UI is absolutely terrible, it’s confusing, laggy and an all round unpleasant browsing experience. Certainly not exactly what I’d expect from a massive organisation that deals with so many cars and customers every single day. Please bring the old design back, or at least give us the option to change it back to how it was before! Thanks ### 1/5 — Update *2026-08-22, version 7.56* New update bad ### 1/5 — Update ruined the app. *2026-08-21, version 7.56* So much bloat, slow loading times, awkward and unnatural menus, horrible navigation, blah, blah, blah. Was totally fine before hand and just changed everything ever so slightly to make it a complete hassle to even browse nevermind purchase and enquire. Change it back to how it was, remove the unnecessary slop and speed up the loading times (just undo the “update” which was really just a downgrade of a totally fine and flawless system) and bang - all good. ### 1/5 — Terrible app update *2026-08-21, version 7.56* IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT!!! Terrible update takes twice as long searching for a car now with absolutely unnecessary menu selection screens. PUT IT BACK TO THE OLD VERSION!!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrating searching *2026-09-05, version 7.58* Al I want to do is find a car in my local area for a set price, not one that thousands over my filter nor vehicles across the country (over 100 miles outside my search area) it’s all so pointless and annoying! ### 1/5 — Not all updates are updates *2026-09-01, version 7.57* With the latest update has ruined the experience with the app, the new layout is confusing. At least give users the alternative of using the old layout ### 1/5 — Worst update since Snapchat Inc *2026-08-30, version 7.57* I cannot believe a company can be this stupid to ruin app in such a bad way. The user interface is soo annoying. ### 1/5 — Since the update *2026-08-28, version 7.57* Since the app update, it is awful. Not user friendly in any way, searching is so much more difficult. ### 1/5 — New update *2026-08-28, version 7.57* New update has ruined the user interface, drop down box after drop down box, not intuitive at all and takes forever to filter your search, now there seems to be a bug where I can’t clear search and I’m stuck looking at the same model? Not sure why they’ve changed it ### 1/5 — Seller *2026-08-27, version 7.57* Had my bike on here advertised paid full price cause it says video included but doesn’t say it’s through YouTube till paid for it and no information on how many views been received section for that comes up blank , complete waste off money and time . ### 1/5 — The New Update Has Ruined Autotrader *2026-08-27* Autotrader used to be simple, reliable and easy to navigate. Unfortunately, the latest update has made the app much worse. The last few updates have gradually made the app worse, the most recent being almost deemed not usable. The new user interface is cluttered, confusing and no longer user-friendly. Basic things that used to take a few taps now feel unnecessarily complicated. The biggest problem is the search and filter options constantly failing to work properly. Filters don’t always apply or stay selected, and searches can produce results that don’t match the criteria entered. This makes finding the right car unnecessarily frustrating. The Deal Maker / Next Steps section should be below the description section instead of in your face, feels like you have to endlessly scroll before you reach what you want to know about the vehicle. Overall, this update feels like a more than just one major step backwards. The previous version worked well, so it’s difficult to understand why the app has been made more complicated. Please fix the search and filtering problems, simplify the new interface, and reconsider the changes to the advert layout. Autotrader was much better before this update. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-08-25, version 7.56* Not enough search options After every search drops back to advertising mode Be honest very disappointing search options ### 1/5 — Please put it back how it was *2026-08-25, version 7.56* New update stinks ### 1/5 — Hard to use *2026-08-23, version 7.56* Please bring back to old app. This is very longwinded and hard to use ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Selection process *2026-09-06, version 7.58* By taking 5 mins to select the options you want , Saves hours of looking at cars you don’t want. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-08-31, version 7.57* 👍 ### 5/5 — Best way to Find a Car *2026-08-29, version 7.57* Great way to see hundreds of cars ### 5/5 — Oh and addition to previous review *2026-08-26, version 7.56* What would also make it fantastic is if you could filter out specific models without filtering out the entire make, and if you could make a filtering option about service history’s That would be absolutely grand ### 5/5 — Fanbloodytastic *2026-08-25, version 7.56* Superb website keeps me occupied for hours and stops me getting on my wife’s nerves ### 5/5 — Comfortable *2026-08-16, version 7.56* search options are very useful and easy ### 5/5 — Autotrader *2026-08-16, version 7.56* I highly recommend this app because it’s the place of all of the nicest cars and fair price ### 5/5 — Still the best *2026-08-16, version 7.56* Always user friendly and continuously upping its game. Multiple model selection would be welcome under manufacturer. ### 5/5 — Possibly the best website on the net *2026-08-12, version 7.55* If you love Cars, there is only one website and it’s Autotrader whether you are a casual looker at exotics or a genuine buyer nothing brings you more concise information in an easy to use and intuitive format than Autotrader ### 5/5 — The fun bit *2026-08-12, version 7.55* THE place to look on your car search journey , I’m even on here when I don’t need a car , I bet I’m not the only one either . --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
