### 2/5 — Wish-listed cars vanish

*2026-04-08, version 6.16.29*

It's highly unethical to just remove a car that has been wish listed. Trust gone.

### 4/5 — Very Good

*2026-03-01, version 6.16.25*

I did not get my desire however the consultants tried their best that I get something

### 3/5 — Search not working

*2025-09-16, version 6.10.12*

The search function is extremely frustrating, it is difficult to clear a selection, you cannot move to next page. Not with the arrow or page number. I use the iOS version. Please fix as it is a great app.

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-01-30, version 6.05.10*

The app is good. It would be more helpful to be able to filter out certain car dealerships in a person search.

### 2/5 — Difficulty searching pre 2015

*2024-11-24, version 5.03.10*

Need more year choices like per year from 1990 and not only 2015 and older.

### 3/5 — App freezing

*2024-11-14, version 5.03.10*

When searching a car in the search bar, when selecting the brand, it freezes. This happens quite often.

### 3/5 — New UI not yet perfect

*2023-06-10, version 4.3.00*

I’ve been enjoying the new UI for some time now and appreciate the enhancements especially the more comprehensive filters and the recent filter inclusion on the ipad version. 
The ipad version of this app, however, no longer has a back option. Once you’ve viewed a particular car and want to go back to the search results, you cannot?
On the iphone version of this app, it would be nice to regain the landscape functionality i.e. viewing pictures of the cars in landscape mode. Bigger sized pictures are just better. 
Then on the editorial side of things: if rated on its own, I would score it a single star. This is due to the missing words in a lot of the articles which just make for a frustrating read. Seems links were supposed to be inserted into the articles, but weren’t, resulting in a lot of blanks - please fix that?! Some of us still like to read, even though Ciro’s videos are great.

### 5/5 — Nice experience!

*2023-02-10, version 4.1.1*

I really enjoy using the app! I think my favourite part is that I can store vehicles and searches without having to login anywhere.

### 3/5 — New version of app loses all pre selection

*2023-01-01, version 4.1.1*

Since the initial new version of the app, and a few updates, the app never remembers previous selections?

### 3/5 — New look a step backward

*2022-12-30, version 4.1.1*

I preferred the previous look and feel. Images slightly distorted.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2022-11-23, version 4.0.2*

Ever since your last update often when I open the app I’m just greeted by a white screen necessitating a quit and re-open of the app to get it working. This has happened on more than one occasion. I’m also annoyed that there’s no account/login option with a cloud backup. In the previous version of the app I had saved searches which couldn’t be backed up because of the lack of an account linking a profile to me. When I updated all my saved searches were deleted which means I have to re-set them up. If there’s another update I’ll likely lose them again. Please consider these UX requirements and make this app truly user focussed with a great experience. You’re on the way there you just need to consider some final tweaks.

### 2/5 — Searching is difficult

*2022-11-22, version 4.0.2*

Compared to Autotrader, finding a shortlist of vehicles according to criteria is complicated and takes frustratingly long. Not user friendly.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Missing info on the page

*2025-08-22, version 6.09.15*

Half the information doesn’t come up on the car listings that are posted.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open.

*2025-01-17, version 6.0.16*

Says something about check console

### 1/5 — Continuously Freezes

*2024-03-29, version v4.7.86*

I thought the upgraded version refined the general appearance and appeal of the app, however I am getting problems constantly.
Last week, while vehicle ranges of cars in the “new car specs” were missing ( Toyota Hilux was just gone)
This week the app freezes continuously on the same menu ie new car specs!
I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times on my iPhone …. Definitely not enjoying the experience

### 1/5 — Stupid New App

*2023-02-15, version 4.1.1*

Gave it some time to grow on me but just can’t deal with how ridiculous this app is on my iPhone XS. Getting into new car specs etc. is so annoying now. Not user friendly and straight forward as the old app. When you do get in the images of the cars are distorted. 
No thank you. App deleted. If I hear it’s been drastically improved I will try it again.

### 1/5 — Terrible since update

*2022-12-24, version 4.1.1*

Seriously revert back to the old version.

### 1/5 — App redesign

*2022-11-19, version 4.0.2*

The new app redesign is messy and all over the show. My favourites and saved searches are gone! Can’t rotate images for better viewing experience, shouldn’t have downloaded this version. Slightly improved search selections but once you apply a few filters even that gets messy

### 1/5 — Update crippled app

*2022-11-16, version 4.0.2*

Before the recent update, it used to be one of my favourite apps.
Now it has become such a frustration to use! It is unresponsive, freezes, fails to apply selected filter etc.
Please do something to save what used to be a very pleasurable app.

### 1/5 — Redesign going backwards

*2022-11-15*

The new version of the app is rubbish. It takes forever to open any link or page or the links simply do not work. Maybe it is teething problems but how is an app this bad released into production?

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2021-07-27*

Please send an update when you search it suddenly jumps to all listed cars!! Terribly annoying low to high price or high to low!! 
Please fix or I will delete

### 1/5 — Good app, outright stupid restrictions...

*2020-11-02*

Why are we limited to 24 favourites... there’s absolutely no reason to limit the user for that, all you’re doing is severely degrading the user experience, making it a pain to shop around & save vehicle you like to look at later...

1-star until this restriction is removed.

Super app and efficient in customer follow-up

### 5/5 — Excellent Service

*2026-03-05, version 6.16.25*

The sales person appointed to me, Martin, was from the onset extremely willing and able to assist with all queries and requirements. It has been such an easy and quick process. Highly recommend Martin for all your requirements/ needs

### 5/5 — Avis car sales Rivonia

*2026-01-21, version 6.14.10*

The service I received was exceptional. I extend my sincere appreciation to Mbali for her transparency and clarity in explaining every detail relating to the vehicle of interest.

### 5/5 — Best car finding app imo

Truly loving the new look at feel. Fresh and stylish 🔥

### 5/5 — Exactly what you want it to be.

*2024-04-19, version 4.12.01*

No fuss, no frills, all thrills. 
Only critique I have is that cars are expensive but… that isn’t exactly the apps fault. 

Keep it up.

### 5/5 — Works great - does everything I want it to

No bugs, no crashes. Works fast and has a wide range of vehicles. No complaints
