What's New in HiBid

too many bugs

app crashes too often, can’t scroll to far before it starts slowing down and eventually crashing out, watch list sometimes glitches and can’t scroll to the bottom of your own watch list before it shoots back up.

Love the app but lots of problems

While I’m obsessed with this app, it leaves much to be desired in terms of functionality and usability. It crashes 75% of the time, conveniently when you’ve scrolled through about 75% of an auction’s inventory, forcing you to have to restart and scroll all the way to that position again if you want to view the rest of it. Speaking of which, it does not let you start where you left off. Also, you have to go through many steps before you can view auctions that you’re interested in. It’s a very old school app that was probably designed by a junior developer who has long quit the job because they were being asked to do everything and not getting paid enough for it.

HiBid needs to invest in their developers…

Good but could use extra features

Wish there was an option to save specific auction stores for favourite place to bid

No Watch List

I’ve been using HiBid for years on the website, and finally decided to try out the app. Login was easy but the first thing I wanted to do was check my watch list. Well, I’ve looked everywhere, there is no watch list feature. What’s the ooint of clucking the star on an item to add to watch list, if there is mo way to find them later? That alone makes it a useless app for me, I’ll go back to using the website

Poor performance in app

I like HiBid, I’ll start there. But this app does not perform well as a live auction bidding platform. Several times now, I have had the highest bid, and watched the lot close just to exit the app and return later to find that I was actually outbid on the item. This is extremely frustrating. The search function also does not work according to basic logic and reason. I’ve had to learn by trial and error how to execute a valid search. The last two complaints I have are minor but it would be nice if the payment/pickup terms and shipping options were easier to see on the auction catalog and lots page. This would make bidding much quicker and more organized. And finally, the method for adding items to the watchlist is difficult and the area to click is very small so there’s a lot of unintentional clicks into items. Adding a swipe feature to the lots would solve this issue and would also be an easy and useful option for placing a quick bid. And for goodness sake, add some item descriptions.
