*2026-05-26, version 5.0.7247*

The only thing I don’t like is I couldn’t create an account from app, but I went to browser and it was simple enough. Other than that was super easy setup to create account and get started bidding.

### 4/5 — More search options

*2026-05-13, version 5.0.7247*

Need to be able to select multiple categories to view at once from each sale. Example- excavators, attachments and consumer items. Instead of having to go back to the main page and start over to view each category individually.
