New Interface Is Lacking Easy Navigation for the End User

I find it is far more difficult to navigate the app to search what you want, it was also released unfinished where I can only search for cars, can’t search for heavy vehicles, boats or RVs.

Bad app

The old auto trader app was way better I miss the option of telling you if the mileage was too high or good or bad for the year of that car

App

The old app was easier to use!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry the old app was easier to use. Could you tell us your device model, app version and the steps you took? If possible include screenshots and send details to contactus@trader.ca so we can pass them to the team.

New user experience is lacking

The user experience has changed with the major update and not as user-friendly as before. Can only look for cars now. Bikes,rvs, boats have to be searched on the web with AutoTrader promising these are coming to the app soon (over a month now). They were already on the app prior to the major update.

The new app sucks

Why did you change the app? It’s garbage now. I’m switching to car gurus.

Update

This new update is rubbish, missing old version. Why things are complicated, why so confusing, didn’t get it why this update even happened? It made it worse to search for a car.

Why ?

I don’t like this app anymore , it was so simple to use before and just have a quick look . Now I’d rather look on facebook.

Great app for your next car hunting

Great browsing experience especially great price and good price option to sorting

New update is terrible(imo)

Use to love this app, but ever since they updated the app just hasn’t been a good experience. Miss the old simple way this app use to be.

Old autotrader

I liked the overall layout of the old auto trader app better

Rip off

Sell privately do not get taken advantage of please, I promise you these offers are extremely below actually market, do some research and don’t let this “service” rip you off.

Good

Excellent

Awful new interface and update

So much worse than before.

Ruined the UX

Used to be fairly easy to navigate the app, now it’s a nightmare. Took like 15 steps back and all we get out of it is dark mode.

2026-July

The new structure of AutoTrader app is incredible, and the upgraded Search allowing multiple selectable/filterable items (like car color) is what this app needed for a long time!

Hard to use the app

After the new redesign update, it is hard to navigate the app and I can’t find the specific model of cars. I will delete this app after the review until the fix and bring the old legend design back.

Really good

I mean I don’t know what else to use other than marketplace

Old version was better

The new search interface is clumsy and counterintuitive. The old system was superior.

Wow

The best way to find a used car
