Many of them automatically pop up and make the app too annoying to use. ### 3/5 — Save password *2021-06-20* Really wish this app would allow the log-in and passwords to be saved via my iPhone. Annoying to have to log in every time. Otherwise, love the app. ### 1/5 — Nothing but a webview of the website *2019-02-21* This app is literally just a webview to access thw website. It actually provides LESS features than using Safari because it doesn't store your password for you. Apps that provide no additional functionality than a website are actually against the Apple AppStore developer guides and this app should be removed. ### 1/5 — Nice pic of clouds. *2019-01-20* Would really like to use the app. Just a pic of the clouds on iPhone and iPad ### 1/5 — Shame on you! *2019-01-18* Get different developers, this is not that hard ### 1/5 — Have to sign in every time *2018-10-29* The auto log in feature does not work. Please fix this! I have to enter my login info every time I enter the app, even if I never closed it. **Developer response:** Any settings you have for Safari could be affecting the Trade-A-Plane app. Please make sure you have not set Safari to block cookies.

It is very irritating to use. ### 1/5 — Unstable *2018-05-18, version 4.0.4* The most unstable app on my phone. Terrible. The auto log in feature doesn’t work. Sometimes the app doesn’t work altogether. Truly a terrible app ### 1/5 — Price range? *2018-05-17, version 4.0.4* Strangely, doesn’t make it easy (maybe it’s hidden somewhere?) to select a price range on the mobile version. Finally found it, again strangely, the filter is up in the logo and not the same bright color as other filters. ### 2/5 — Advanced Search Broken *2018-03-02, version 4.0.4* When I try to do an advanced search, it just says “error loading page”. Crashes often. Much prefer website. ### 1/5 — New update makes scrolling harder *2018-02-17, version 4.0.4* New update removes the Engine time from the ad if you're scrolling. You have to click into the actual ad to find this info out. They replaced this feature with 'get financing' and 'sale status: for sale'. Both are useless info whereas engine time is actually info about the plane for sale. App definitely designed by someone who doesn't actually want to buy an airplane. ### 1/5 — So bad *2018-02-08, version 4.0.3* The latest update took a painful experience and made it worse. I really wish this app was just nice. ### 1/5 — Crap *2017-12-28, version 3.0.20* Don’t bother downloading this crashapp. ### 1/5 — Controller is MUCH better. *2017-11-22, version 3.0.20* Keeps crashing and is incredibly slow to load. ### 1/5 — Crashes and gets stuck *2017-06-20, version 3.0.20* Glitchy, when trying to scroll, it clicks on whatever is in the screen, making it extremely hard to navigate. ### 1/5 — Keeps getting worse *2017-03-30* The new version is much more cumbersome to navigate the site and to quickly peruse planes for sale. Also, viewing the photos is a much slower process than before. I don't like it at all. Update: Now it crashes 9 out of 10 times and when it does work, it's slow and awkward. Also, some categories (experimental) of aircraft are lumped all together making searching through them time consuming. Update Mar. 2017: It keeps getting worse with each update. The pictures are very slow to load if they load at all. The app is almost unusable. You'd think that they'd want to fix it. Guess not. ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2017-03-21, version 3.0.17* This app has great promise, but the present version is useless. It changes pages on its own. Some issue with too much touch sensitivity or something. ### 2/5 — Glitchy. Oh so glitchy *2017-03-15* For those of you who don't know, trade a plane is probably the largest aviation specific classified publication in existence. They tend to have premium quality listings albeit at premium prices. That's fair enough. They had an app that was not as flashy looking a few years ago but it worked. Rock solid worked. The new app is laggy and bug ridden. If you happen to get impatient and mistakenly double tap a tile because it's taking several seconds to respond... it locks up. The app doesn't hesitate to blame the user. It regularly claims that network connection speeds are to blame (I stream video on all my devices No Problem) but this little app needs more than 50mbps? Not likely. I would have given one star but they do help people sell some of the best aircraft available. Use the website. Far less nonsense. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Credit card already? *2024-12-12* In registering ,the app wants you not to register to trade a plane but, and I suppose, it’s the parent company or app developer, with credit card? No thank you grifter. ### 1/5 — The app no longer works *2024-03-08* The app has been declining over the past few months and is now completely useless. It constantly gives error 503 Services Unavailable and no longer loads. Unfortunately, the website is just as bad… ### 1/5 — Fix your App! *2023-04-29* The App has had the same bugs for over a year. It won’t save login credentials. It also gives an error after too many searches, forcing you to change your IP address. ### 1/5 — Apps needs work *2023-01-24, version 4.1.0* I like Trade-Plane, but this App has never been fixed. It forces you to login each time. ### 1/5 — Unuseable *2021-05-27* Can’t log in, can’t retrieve password. Could be the worst update ever. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2021-05-24* This app has been getting worse every update. After deleting and reinstalling several times, it now no longer functions at all, but gives me a “not connected to the internet” message. ### 1/5 — Please remove the sticky banner! *2021-02-25* I want to use this app, but the sticky banner makes scrolling absolutely nauseating. ### 1/5 — Garbage, stick the website. *2019-07-30* Slow, freezes, hangs, pictures don’t load. This use to be a good app but with the latest update total garbage. ZERO stars if possible. Stick to the actual website if you don’t want to be totally frustrated. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2019-05-08* Wow went from ok, slow & clunky to nothing loads faster than the speed of molasses. I can’t even surf using iPad ### 1/5 — Eh *2019-03-30* Trade a plane is a great way to buy an aircraft. However, stick to the online site, app is not good. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2016-12-16, version 3.0.14* A simple straight forward app that has great listings!! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Works great for me *2016-10-21, version 3.0.14* I don't know if it's been updated and I've only used the new version, but the app works just like I anticipated, made for IOS version of the website. No complaints here, works great! ### 5/5 — Like the new app *2016-03-08, version 3.0.9* I like the style and improvements in the new app. Glad that what I do on the app carries over to the website. ### 5/5 — Needs iPad version *2015-04-13, version 2.0.11* Love the iPhone version ### 5/5 — T-A-P 2.0.1 app working well now. *2013-06-22, version 2.0.1* I get listings, photos, and links, just like the online browsing. Photos can expand full-screen. Nice app! ### 5/5 — Sweeet *2013-01-11, version 1.11* This is an awesome app...like it better than the website even. ### 5/5 — The Best!!! *2011-10-25, version 1.7* This is awesome! The information is great. Easy to read and pretty detailed. A great way to display your aircraft or purchase one. I'm on this app constantly! Can's say enough about it. Great app guys! ### 5/5 — Great App *2011-09-06, version 1.6* I like it better than the online version. ### 4/5 — Would be nice if they fix auto login *2019-06-30, version 4.1.0* At sucks put in your ID and password every time you want to get on the app ### 4/5 — UPDATED: Advanced search restored *2018-04-18, version 4.0.4* My biggest gripe was when the search functionality went away. Now that it’s back, my rating is back to 4 stars. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
