Horrible app

I do not recommend this method! Don’t waste your money.

Wont work

Wanted to use this to follow a charity benefit auction and maybe bid. Cant see the items, cant bid, cant follow the live auction. No benefit to me , disappointed. I’ve bid and purchased lots of items at online auctions , but this format is the worst Ive seen
