Great app with really good filter options to narrow down your choices to see what you really want when searching for a used or new car. I'm giving 4 starts because a Carfax report of some kind should be available on ALL cars without a fee & directly from the app in the section with the rest of the cars' information. That is the one area of opportunity I wish they would improve.

The last update KILLED THE APP. I had an older version that worked fantastic. All of a sudden, the app required me to update it to use it. So I updated the app and the new version opens but does not work at all. Typical "improvement." I guess I'll just use Autotrader instead.

This version of the app does not work on my galaxy s23 ultra. I cannot log in to my account, create an account, or search the marketplace. Previous versions worked great. Very disappointed. Hope this can be fixed.

Does me no good to tell me about a car that was sold or show me a sold car listing when it doesn't tell me which one it was. I'd prefer you lot tell me if that's the case. Makes no sense.

Vehicle Brand selection is limited to only 10 brands! Other brands from Acura to Lexus and more are greyed out and can't be selected. The website version doesn't have this problem. The app is useless to me now.
