Buggy App

Lately very slow and pictures/images do not load. I tried the web version and same problem happened. No images.

Response from developer

Thank you for reaching out. We’re sorry for the trouble you experienced while using the app. We experienced a temporary issue that prevented some images from loading, and it has since been resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Your Sotheby’s App Team

Reset of password not working

The app is terrible and cannot seem to change password as it opens to a total white blank page. I am shocked by the technology on its marketplace as the company sells billions in its business and not able to enhance a user friendly and seamless app.

You cannot sort

It amazes me that core functionality is missing. For example, you cannot sort auction lots by current bid, lot number, and estimate.

This makes the app almost entirely useless

Terrible

Useless on my Apple phone.. I can’t follow, view, bid… what a terrible change .. not worth a single star really
Ddutchyjax

Unable to update as I have an older phone

My iPhone is a few years old and lacks the capacity to upload all of Sotheby’s new bells-and-whistles. I am not buying a new phone just to get a “new” website no matter whose it is.
