Incredibly unreliable.

I waited for 9 days for a group of auctions to end, they ended today so I went to place bids, app wouldn’t load, the page come up and then closed immediately, every single time. I restarted my phone to see if it’s my phone, nope. After about 5 minutes of trying, it opens, then it shows that I have no favorite auctions listed, which I do, quite a few.

So thanks to this app I missed the auctions I patiently waited in for 9 days on items that were incredibly hard to find that I was willing to spend quite a lot of money on. Every single item in the group that I was watching ended before the app started working again.

I also tried the website, it had issues as well. And I screen recorded all of this because I’m sure I’ll be told it was my phone. It wasn’t, I recorded and internet speed test to show it was working pert.

Will not launch

Downloaded 3x to iPhone 17 pro and the app refuses to open. It attempts to launch but as it lands to sign in page it crashes every time

Crashes at the worst time - Zero Stars

Once again the ap crashes at the end of an auction while trying to place bid. Not the first time. Other auction sites managed to figure how this works. Why can’t CTBIDS???

Horrible!

I don’t know what is worse. Their app or their website…

Jumpy

I really like the company but your app gives me a major headache- it won’t stay still- it jumps all over the page. Meanwhile I’ll use the website
