### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-12-20*

Can’t get in . Keeps putting me back in the beginning after putting all codes in .

### 1/5 — Very Bad App

*2025-10-15*

This is a very bad app. It just doesn’t work right. If you switch to a different app and then come back to this one, it restarts the whole thing. And I’m not talking about shutting the app down. I mean simply leaving it active, but going to a different app or your home screen. Once you come back, you have to start all over. So no switching over to another app to analyze comps or research a car or its history, etc. Also, often times, when you’re in the auctions, it won’t show you which cars are on your watch list. You’ll just simply need to memorize exactly what you’re waiting for and the lanes and run numbers, etc. You guys need a serious overhaul on this app.

### 1/5 — Log in

*2025-07-21*

I couldn’t log in

### 1/5 — They ruined the app

*2025-06-10*

This app was fine and easy to use, you could scroll through inventory that is scheduled for future auctions. Now I try to use the app and it won’t let me view any vehicles, the only thing I can do is register for auctions. I like to go through inventory beforehand and make a list of cars I’m interested in. Not only that, the app freezes and I have to exit out and reenter it. Too much hassle and I don’t have time for it, I’ll go to Adesa or Mannheim instead.

### 1/5 — Keep jumping out

*2024-12-09*

App jumps and kick out from the auction as while reviewing the run list keep changing page doesn’t let u look at specific vehicle in the list unless u find it quick and click on it

### 1/5 — App

*2024-10-21*

App is no good need more updates

### 1/5 — Needs Added IPad Support

*2024-09-30*

Can't do things such as flip into landscape mode, view multiple lanes at once, or review the purchases that you have made on the auction that day. Small features and add ons would make the app so much better but will continue to use the website until then
