Has Some Problems
The app works ok on an iPhone, but doesn’t work well on an iPad.
I really like the layout and the search format on the TrueCar app. The initial presentation of vehicle information is easy to navigate and read. Unfortunately, viewing images is limited to a scrolling “film strip”interface. There is no isolation of a single image and no zooming of an image to check details - which I would consider important on an app meant to sell things. I would be the first to say that CarGurus interface is going to be more cluttered, but images can be isolated and viewed one at a time.
There is no most annoying thing, there is no returning to your search once you select a vehicle to look at in detail on the iPad. I have tried many times to use the “return to search” link to have the app just sit there - for a long time, until I click on “new search” and start my search again. This only happened to me on the iPad app. Every competitor app I have used has this ability.
The app also lacks a mechanism to log into an account from the start on a new device. This is a problem with the website as well. You have to “Like” a car or save a search to be presented with a prompt to enter your email address then a confirming email is sent to you. Then your account is added. You are allowed to “Sign Out” once in.. it’s just strange there’s no option to “Sign In”. This is available on every competitor app I have used.
The app has a payment calculation section separate from the vehicle search where a person can input their desired payment, credit rating and trade in and the app will calculate the maximum price of the vehicle you should be looking for. It I only persists in this section and doesn’t show up in vehicle listings. CarGurus keeps this information persistent and easily editable through the vehicle browsing experience.
Lastly, there’s no page to report issues. I tried to report an issue through Apple’s App Store and just ended up at a “Page not Found” form.

Not functional
App opens, not functional.
Last update 6 months ago? Time to try other apps I guess.

Obsessed with forcing me to submit for quotes
This app used to allow you to just browse vehicles within a radius like an aggregate search. I’m using it for the first time in a few years and every step of the way they’re forcing “connecting” with a dealer down your throat trying to force you into contacting the seller to move forward. I don’t even know what I want yet! I’m just looking at what’s out there, christ.

Needs bug fixes
I’ve been in the market to buy a car and was told about it by Navyfed for the most it’s helpful but I feel like it needs minor maintenance or improvement on features. it’ll get stuck at times when I try to go back to the previous page of searches so I have to close the app.
Or I’ll go to a different section in the app and once I want to go back to my list of results it has me start all over which is annoying.
