A disaster

The app fails constantly, does not connect withthe website, requires constantly to re login, does not work with facial recognition… has again prevented me from bidding on items today… you need to claim compensation from whoever designed it.. I am spending time with other houses whose systems function properly

Followed lots should be most recent on top

Ap is fine, but in the followed lots section, would be better to have the most recent follows on top and not oldest. As a result you have to scroll a lot to find active lots and one is just not going to do that. This discourages bidding.

No thanks.

A very poor app

Looses connection every 30 seconds. Missed so many lots that I was keen to purchase as the UEX is so poor.

Really dysfunctional update

Hard to follow items rendering app fairly useless.
