### 1/5 — Sad

*2024-09-24, version 3.0.15*

This app fails on me all the time, by that I mean it never remembers my password or username. I'm tired of trying to reset my password it's so freaking annoying and frustrating.

### 1/5 — Absolutely garbage app

*2022-11-24*

The search feature is terrible. You have to scroll through thousands of manufactures or items to find what you’re trying to sell. It’s incredibly time consuming and frustrating. We have abandoned posts already because of the complicated design.

### 1/5 — Need more filters

*2022-10-04*

For all the options for tractors, the filters are severely lacking. No filter for type of tractor, ie, 40-99hp, compact, etc. much easier to just use a website.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2021-05-17*

Last 2 update have ruined on iPhone...can’t search anything

**Developer response:** We had some technical issues over the weekend, it should be working now. Please let us know if you are still having issues.

### 2/5 — Needs serious upgrades

*2021-03-11*

Very hard to use this app. It needs to be more user friendly. It’s a lot like the IRS website.

### 5/5 — Equipment

*2020-12-02*

Great machines

### 1/5 — Wish it would let me put zero stars

*2020-02-26*

The search feature is absolutely pathetic. It would be faster to drive to the dealership to see what they have than to try and get this search feature to work properly

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-03-21*

Easy searching and so many options. Love love love!!!!

### 1/5 — Bad need of update!!!!!

*2014-11-11, version 1.1*

Will not work in iOS 8.1.  Totally useless!!!!

### 1/5 — Unusable app.

*2013-04-24*

In this day an age of millions of apps. and the same amount of developers to create those apps. you would think someone would be able to get this simplistic search engine for equipment to work. I should have read the previous reviews otherwise I would never have installed this one. This worthless piece of junk will only display 25 results and when you click the download more results at the bottom it generically says no equipment found and takes you back to the search screen. I can't believe someone didn't catch this in the QA/QC and if they did and didn't do anything about it, should be fired.
