### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-04-15*

Making the app more difficukt to use with plenty of bugs cant even buy cars properly

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2026-04-14, version 4.188.0*

Really disappointed with this really not user friendly app, with all the fees we pay them they could make an effort to make it more efficient

### 2/5 — Not as good as the old marketplace app

*2026-04-14, version 4.187.1*

Miss the old app, we don’t get notifications when a vehicle is in the lane or 5/10 runs away in simulcast. We can no longer see where a vehicle is on the map as well. Can we get these added to the open lane app?

### 2/5 — Riddled With Problems

*2026-03-31, version 4.187.0*

Embarrassing how glitchy and flawed this app is. One error after another. When you consider we’re dealing with millions of dollars they should be as ashamed.

### 1/5 — Complete trash

*2026-03-31*

This app is garbage, too many times I think I’m higher bidder but the bid never updates and someone else gets the car. With the amount of fees we pay you’d think they could afford an app that works.

### 2/5 — Stabilitiy,user experience

*2026-03-06, version 4.185.0*

Glitchy, logs you out after the update like we are in 00s. after log in it catches error and you have to restart the app
Randomly logs you off so when you need to have a bid you gotta log in 3 times (not 1) before it lets you in 

No filter for above 200kkm vehiclesmake it at least a bar up to 300k

No filter in simulcast for sort from grade low (only high) inconvenient on a large search

Whenever having a bad cell connection it doesnt let you know in advance that app doesnt have a good ping, instead you „bid” to yourself and after 30sec the car is gone and noone saw your bid
Please make like a live time sensitive counter for ping like in games so you actually see your connection when needed

Plus in general: come on people, you live in 2026 you are huge company you take enormous fees to run/buy/sell/check the car
And you cant make stupid filters amd sw stable. Im not asking to be apple, but please use it yourself or give to someone who never experienced the app to buy a car and them sell it on your platform 
Idk how you have for so much time and you dont care

Feedback system is a joke

You added market guide and then deleted because you charge extra for it now, so at least clean it up eh?

Simulcast live became a little better, im not saying its good, but at least there is a progress. Not user friendly but after week or 2 you get used to it, at least its stable(from laptop, need to check how it works from phone)

Just overall, please hire a SW team with normal budget , ui/ux  guys
And some quality 

P.s
You cant select filter show only „as is” cars
Or only with accidents
Or show only cars (that filter with atvs, motos, rvs is messed up too)

Just please start using your own platform and fix the bugs

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-03-06, version 4.185.0*

If i can give 0 star

### 1/5 — Dealer

*2026-03-06, version 4.185.0*

Lots of issues that constantly ignored and nothing gets improved

### 1/5 — Is this a joke

*2026-02-26*

Worst customer service , scammers, app is buggy, i cant believe that this company is still standing it must be a miracle

### 2/5 — WAY TOO MANY GLITCHES AND ERRORS.

*2026-02-11, version 4.183.1*

I miss the good old days when people ran the auction not emotionless electronics.

### 1/5 — Terrible App!!!!

*2026-02-05, version 4.183.0*

You think for a company that generates millions of dollars a year would actually make an app that works more than 20% of the time.

### 1/5 — A Downgrade

*2026-01-04, version 4.179.1*

They had a great app before and now it just gets worse and worse. Makes you genuinely not want to use it at times. Please fix these bugs or just bring it back to the old system.

### 1/5 — To may bugs

*2025-12-14, version 4.179.0*

App has too many issues, after looking at my inventory sold that was marked picked up I can only see cars from sold over one year ago, anything recently sold / marked picked up disappears completely. 

Market value never works from the app only from the PC, will bring me to the screen and come back with no search results on any car I look up 

Am really getting full value out of my Pro subscription… don’t recommend this platform it’s not what it once was, will be moving over to Eblock

### 1/5 — From bad to worst

*2025-11-21, version 4.177.1*

Very bad business. They will not protect you as a buyer. You Will lose your shirt doing business with them. Forget about arbitration even Green Light cars. It will take weeks of fighting ….and you will lose.

### 1/5 — Clowns designing the app

*2025-11-20*

Why did u fools take away the market guide from the vehicle page

### 1/5 — Terrible Glitchy App

*2025-11-11, version 4.177.0*

Constantly signs you out even when you click “remember”… often crashes. Interface is absolutely terrible to navigate . Original Adesa app 100 times better.

### 1/5 — Not like it used to be.

*2025-11-08, version 4.176.0*

OPENLANE used to be a trusted, dealer-friendly auction platform — but it’s not the same anymore. These days, it feels like they just want you to keep running the same car over and over again until it finally sells, wasting time and money in the process.

A $50,000 car getting a $14,000 counteroffer is beyond ridiculous. The system clearly isn’t protecting dealers or reflecting real-world market values anymore. It’s frustrating watching good inventory get devalued, while sellers are pressured to keep re-running cars with no results.

OPENLANE needs to come up with a better solution — one that respects dealers’ time and hard-earned money. Right now, it’s become a cycle of wasted listings, wasted fees, and wasted effort.

It’s time for change. Dealers deserve a platform that values fairness, transparency, and efficiency — not just endless reruns and lowball offers.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-11-06*

i don’t know how this auction didn’t get shut down yet. Straight scammers

### 1/5 — Bad!

*2025-11-03, version 4.176.0*

Absolutely terrible app!!! never works, always glitches, and is absolutely not reliable. The staff are rude and unhelpful. Do better guys, we cant run a business like this.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No helpful employees and increased fees for no reason.

*2026-08-14*

Website and app always have issues. Terrible arbitration processes and even worst mechanics doing inspections. Market guide jumped from $150-450 with nothing new added or fixed. Just a money grab and increase in cost for not reason.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-15*

Most garbage app ever.

### 1/5 — Worst Plattform and the app

### 1/5 — Stress

*2026-06-12*

Nothing work good ok that app

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-06-12*

What a garbage company is this?!! We got stuck with this poor company in Canada, no more ADESA , No more Mannheim.. only garbage!! Who is looking for an easy money to grab. Stupid management!!

### 1/5 — Needs to be better

*2026-05-27*

For a company that runs nationwide, this is a not a good app. Most annoying part of all is that it logs me out at random times.

### 1/5 — lame

*2026-05-15*

Lots bugs

### 1/5 — Much worse than adesa app

*2026-04-18*

Awful. Adesa app was way better.

### 1/5 — Use less and not user friendly design

*2026-04-16*

This app is really useless. We used to be very happy with the old app. I don’t know why the reason they operate to this version is not absolutely user-friendly. Very hard to navigate between menus doesn’t have Auction track and location for the cars. I wish we switch  back to the old app.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Top

*2025-08-21, version 4.171.0*

Great company, great staff, genius idea

### 5/5 — Good platform, excellent reps

*2023-09-18, version 4.122.0*

We've moved all of our wholesale to openlane. The platform is solid, we run into a bug every now and then, but the support from the reps for buying and selling is excellent.

### 5/5 — Grate app. Would like a timer extender under 30 seconds removed

*2022-09-19, version 4.97.0*

I love the app only thing I would change is the timer extender under 30 seconds. It’s highly annoying and You can only focus on one car because of it.

### 5/5 — The ONLY way to stock a lot

*2019-10-24, version 4.23.1*

I have purchased over 800 units on TradeRev since Dec 2017 and I can attest that my grosses are up 50% over brick and mortar auctions. I can spend more time at my lot instead of running all week TRYING to buy quality vehicles to sell. Best thing that’s ever happened in this industry. I have been in business for 26 years.

### 5/5 — This is the evolution of our industry

*2019-07-03, version 4.16.0*

Why not get the same treatment as your lot customer but in a wholesale/auction culture? Hand sold and done off site without headaches or inflated auction fees! No hassle to haggle, sell or transport and risk free with personal upcoming auction features?! Buyers and sellers, commercial and frontline; it’s all here.

### 5/5 — This is a DEALER ONLY auction app Bucko’s!

*2019-02-18, version 4.5.6*

This is a DEALER ONLY auction app Bucko’s!  It is a fine source Of inventory supplied in intricate detail and sourced from new car dealer trade ins. Nuff said. I’m near 500 cars purchased in the past 18 months. Don’t know how I went over 20 years without this app!!!

### 5/5 — This is a used car managers best friend!

*2018-02-19, version 4.1.1*

This improved version of TradeRev is great and it’s so easy. Live, instant cash from bidders across the country. I’ll never lose money on a trade again with this app.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!!

*2015-02-09, version 2.9.505*

Phenomenal new app for TradeRev!!! #gamechanger

### 4/5 — Getting better with time

*2026-07-15*

This app had a lot of bugs but now it’s getting better

### 4/5 — Has improved

*2024-11-18, version 4.152.1*

Compared to the their old Adesa Marketplace and TradeRev app this new app sucks. Glitchy when bidding cars, hard to see daily auction inventory properly, Dealerblock is now a waste of time as they remove a bunch of search options, the notification don’t work properly anymore & neither do the filter in both the app and web browser version. I expect better from this company but I guess when you have a monopoly in Canada for wholesale vehicle auctions you can put out garbage like this & all your members have no other real choice. Also charging $149 per month for market guide is ridiculous. There was a lot of reasons the old TradeRev app used to be so good and one of them was the free market guide. The cherry on top is the terrible customer service when calling in to support. YOU CAN DO BETTER OPENLANE.

UPDATE:
The App has improved immensely over that last 3 months. Functionality is way better. Would have changed my review to five stars if the photos in Simulcast & Dealer block would display properly in either the iPad or iPhone app but at this time they do not. Also there is a new glitch with auto bidding inSimulcast   which is annoying.  Even with these new issues they app is way better than before.
