### 1/5 — Garbage

*2018-10-23*

For something which is supposed to make my job easier- this app is absolute garbage.
Never properly, cannot use features because there is always an “error”. I hate this app.
For the money we pay in Carsales fees you’d think they’d spend some of it making an app you can actually use

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, could you please send further information on any of the bugs you may have experienced to support@carsales.net.au so that our team can investigate further.

### 1/5 — No good needs a lot of work

*2018-09-13*

Terrible app. Slow to load, errors everywhere. Too hard to navigate and minimal information shown. Plus I get a thousand notifications for a message which is never there. Does my head in. For a company like so would expect better. Plus the website also does my head in too at times. For the amount these thieves charge they certainly could be utilising it better.

### 1/5 — Not good at all

*2018-04-18*

Receive multiple (4-5) notifications within 10 seconds of a new message, yet there is no message to locate.
App is not user friendly, cannot see phone number or email address (without clicking to call or email).

### 1/5 — Tony

*2026-06-14*

Terrible app experience. Dealers pay Carsales a lot of money every month, yet Autogate is still slow, buggy and poorly designed. For a platform used daily by dealerships, the app really should be much better.

### 1/5 — A Billion-Dollar Company with a Five-Cent App

*2026-02-03*

I’ve been forced to use this absolute disaster of an app for years, and it’s honestly insulting at this point. Considering the massive amounts of money they rake in from us dealers, you would think they could afford a developer who knows what they’re doing. Instead, we’re stuck with a "professional" tool that feels like a high school coding project.

### 1/5 — Most stupid update

*2025-07-08*

What made you guys thinking get rid of pictures of the car is a good idea 

Making people twice the effort to look things. Who ever approved this shall have an written warning

### 1/5 — WHY? The ‘update’

*2025-07-07*

More like a ‘downdate’ Why have you changed the prospect page and deleted the stock photo? Also the stock number is your ID number that’s useless to us. Why?

### 1/5 — Very average app

*2023-05-30*

As stated by a review 4years ago the app still have constant errors and you get a notification saying you have a message but the app logs you out and you have no chance in finding it

### 1/5 — Login every day

*2022-12-05*

Still have to log in every day. Been reporting this for 2 plus years and it’s still not fixed.

### 1/5 — Need to log in everyday with password and verification text.

*2022-02-28*

Need to login everyday, each time require password & verification message. Can’t stay login all time ? Surely can be done. Has been doing for over a year now.

### 1/5 — Terrible Interface

*2021-06-29*

Disappointing app considering how powerful the customer CarSales app is. Constant crashes, constantly forces me to log out, push notifications never work. Has to be manually quit and re opened several times per day. 

The customer based Carsales app is beautifully designed and works well, is it a different dev team for this app? It’s a slap in the face considering what dealers pay for the Carsales service.

**Developer response:** Hi KawaGarth, thank you for your feedback. We have received some other reports of login and notification issues, which we are addressing. If you can contact support directly at support@carsales.net.au with specific details, we can investigate further.

### 1/5 — It’s 2020 fix the app properly

*2020-10-26*

Very poor service with many faults and never works a single week without some sort of problem, it’s a real struggle sometimes to workout which leed has messaged and the app is constantly crashing

### 1/5 — Not a winner.

*2020-05-26*

Hard to use, clunky, not sure why we persist. Other platforms cheaper, more leads and far easier to use. The software designers are the ones making money here.

### 5/5 — Nexgate is a great upgrade

*2026-09-01*

Much better and more reliable than the old AutoGate. 
Keen to see what they add Nex

### 5/5 — Gets the job done

*2025-07-04*

I can see my leads coming in and get in touch rightaway

### 5/5 — Crashes too often

*2020-10-26*

Always crashes and often says messages have come through but doesn’t go to prospect directly

### 5/5 — Great App! Major improvements!

*2020-05-18*

Love the app! Works well for my day to day needs! 

Would really love if you could Filter Vehicles with no photos too. That would be really helpful!

### 5/5 — Easy

*2018-05-29*

The guys can get notified of leads, see details and respond, all from the palm of their hand.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2018-01-19*

Prospects and Inventory are easy to use

### 2/5 — Andrew

*2025-08-10*

Handy way to interact with customers.

One thing that is rather annoying is the inability to copy customers numbers or emails to message, WhatsApp or email them. Please change this. Also if it interacted directly with iMessage that would be a good improvement.

### 2/5 — Needs a message centre

*2018-12-01*

Always get notifications that messages have come through however never know which prospect it is and have to search through recent ones to locate the message

App also has errors constantly

**Developer response:** Hi Neticccccc

Thank you for your feedback. We have noticed your problem and we will improve this in future.
