### 2/5 — Freeze Frame.

*2025-03-22, version 1.0.5*

Keeps locking up so I have to close the app constantly.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t get it to work at all

*2020-06-12, version 1.0.1*

Downloaded from App Store but when I tap on it says its initialising and then immediately quits every time!

### 5/5 — Easy and Functional

*2019-04-26, version 1.0.1*

I don’t know what the other reviewer was talking about. This app is great. It has all the information on my bids, both past and present, it sends notifications when the auctions are about to start and also lets me know if I am outbid. You can leave absentee bids or bid live in the auction. You can also watch the auctions with video. Very easy. The catalogues look good as well. Works well on iPad and iPhone.

### 1/5 — Easy to use but.....

*2018-03-08, version 1.0.0*

Loaded this app. Placed a few bids. Allowed notifications. Never got any notifications. Now it doesn't show any past bids nor does it show the auction I bid on. Absolutely no idea what is going on, or whether I won anything. Ridiculous.
