Shopping on a budget is always a challenge. If you're not able or willing to spend more than $2000 for a car yet still want a decent vehicle, you will need to keep your eyes open. Cars.com is a great place for comparing prices and understanding how the market works. more

Understanding the nature of the market is essential for anyone employed in car sales. Tracking the prices and knowing what to expect is always important. Keep your eye on the numbers and observe the big patterns through 100s of new listings per day. more

Awesome to be able to see cars from all over the country. I would recommend a little more detailed list of options to be available for the vehicle I am researching. It would really help cut down the list for me because a couple of the deal breaker options I am looking for are not even available to select in my search criteria. more

When it works, it's great! Too bad it only works about 10% of the time. Crashes more often and works more slowly than any other app I have ever tried. Maybe the volume of information they provide is just too much for my little phone to handle. UPDATE: Not sure whether it was an upgrade to the software, or the fact that I got a new phone, but for the past several months (other than having the app freeze when you first open it, presumably while it is connecting to the remote servers) there has been no instability or any other issues. So, to quote myself, "When it works, it's great!" UPDATE 2: Really wish they would re-develop the app for iPad. Nice that the old version still functions. It’s just kind of odd to view because the iPad version looks as though you have set your phone on top of your iPad screen. more

This app is very well-organized and user-friendly, but I had a couple of problems. It always asked that my location be on while I use it (didn't require it though). I also gave up on trying to sign into my account after changing my password twice and the app saying that the password was wrong after both changes. It also had some connectivity issues, but maybe that was just my sometimes spotty WiFi. If those things weren't a problem I'd give this app 5 stars! I definitely reccomend it :) more

Picture loading time takes too long. This could possibly be due to too many posters have too large of file size they’re uploading & it’s doesn’t compress properly. I feel that allowing a user to select multiple models from a manufacturer (or from several manufacturers). For instance, let’s say I’d like to only see Toyota: 4Runners & Landcruisers as well as Jeep: Wranglers all in one feed. That’d be nice. Perhaps another feature would be to allow to shop for engines without models. Meaning, maybe I wanna see any auto which features a GM LS3 motor. Or anything with a Cummings? Furthermore, you’ve a lot of post which are incomplete. There should be a fail safe that a seller cannot post a listing if the form isn’t complete. Too many, “unspecified” vehicles in here. This could also allow for potential user to discover/search for a feature which they may be unaware of as an available option on other autos. For instance, a rear (back) window which rolls up and down. Some Tacoma’s, 4Runners & Tundras have this feature but another manufacturer has a model with this feature too (I’ve forgotten who & which model. See, this is a useful feature to have). I’ve more ideas, but you get it. I’m not putting it in blast. It’s a decent app. It’s my ‘go to’ when researching rides. It’s not been updated in...forever. Perhaps some of these things are in the next version. more
The ups and downs of ever changing software! Apr 27, 2019

By BLT41567

I use this app daily for the past 6 years. I’ve seen it improve to the point of being a useful tool and then it goes the wrong way. I’m wondering if they are using a different software company? Anyway the most effective tool for me is the filter/features after defining the make and model. Currently the most popular vehicles in the US are pickups, SUV’s and crossovers. The software does a pretty good job on SUV’s and crossovers. However, on pickups the features options available are missing some very important options. First, on half ton pickups we need an option of long or short bed. For example, the f-150 crew cab can be configured in 5.5 bed or a 6.5 bed. If I want to find a 6.5 bed, I’m SOL and will have to look at every single truck to find the few 6.5’ beds out there. It would also be nice to specify max trailer tow options or max payload options. These are important options and should be part of the options list. more

It's a great app and all, but, a lot of the saves I've made are being removed. Literally just removed, not sold or unlisted, just removed from my save, meaning I have to go back and re-save the vehicle. Please fix this! It's very time consuming and tedious! Next thing is a request, but if we could report listings that would be great because I've noticed that there are about 50 or more different listings from the same seller for the same car! more

Great app. Smooth and easy interface. Love the options and filters. Only thing that would make this app perfect is monitoring what is being posted, for instance certain features on cars you check mark to filter out unwanted cars, a lot of the dealerships put options on the vehicles when they really don't have those options just so they can get more views. Makes it annoying to look at a car they doesn't have everything you're specifically looking for. more

Bug report Dec 30, 2018

By Paul1662829285

Devs, when you select multiple features, it treats it as an OR operator instead of AND. That means that searching for cars with heated seats and a moonroof actually returns more results than if I just search for cars with a moonroof, since searching for both will return any car that has heated seats OR a moonroof. It doesn't work this way when using the website so I assume this is a mistake with the app. Also, it becomes more difficult to specify price as a filter after the initial search. While these bugs make the app less usable, it's overall much better than other apps. Not just because of better design but saved searches, alerts, and filter by auto-emergency braking are hugely helpful features that I haven't found elsewhere. more
Mobile App and Max Digital Feb 14, 2022

By PhatAlbert92

The DealerCenter Mobile App is amazing. It is very easy to use and brings all pertinent information to the fore front. Max Digital gives you all the vehicles’ market values so that you know exactly how to properly price your vehicles. It is also easy to add the vehicles and photos to your inventory from the app. Our representative for DealerCenter Maryann Iglesias is one of the best that I ever encountered. She goes over and beyond to make sure that all of our needs are handled and always seems to be available. I totally recommend this application and its service to anyone looking to making their car marketing experience the best! more
Love it but needs some tweaks! Sep 18, 2021

By TheNewMrsS

I love using this app, especially being able to check the Carfax with one click. What would put this app over the top for me would be the ability to add notes to my saved cars. Especially if I could share with my husband and he could see my notes on why I liked that specific car. I also really wish I had the ability to eliminate cars from my search. Sometimes the Carfax reveals something I’m not ok with but then I see it in the search again the next day and forget that it wasn’t up to par for our needs. I end up feeling like I’m wasting time viewing the same cars over and over again accidentally. Other than that, it really is my go-to car finder app! more

Making car buying even more of a headache Oct 11, 2020

By Harleyd317

If they would simply put the necessary fixes into the app, this would be invaluable. But pictures never load, and the sorting of info is terrible. It must be the method the sellers input info that doesn’t get detected when you filter. If you choose you want a sunroof, well it will narrow down 500 vehicles to 10. But if you don’t filter that way, there are waaaay more vehicles that actually have a sunroof than it showed through the filter. So you’re forced to manually search through hundreds of vehicles, and pray to God a picture will load showing whether it has the features you’re looking for or not. There is also a tooooon of shady business practices done by dealers here. They consistently mis label vehicles, say they have features they don’t, and out ridiculously low prices ($1000 on a brand new vehicle) just to get them to show up in every search. It’s clear this company is just collecting money from the sellers, and pocketing it. The app has been this way for years, it’s nothing new. Autotrader has its own issues, but it does at least work the way you’d expect it to. more
Jun 14, 2021

By J. L.

The new app has made me do something I never thought I would do: delete it and switch to Autotrader. The search is a mess and since there isn't an auto reset button on the front page of the app and need to change the parameters of the search, you have to go through each item to reset or clear. It is so frustrating, I gave up. I had this app on my 3G in 2009 and have had it on every phone since. Also, where did the listings go? Listings have dropped considerably. more

By Driving in the DCBA Area

Wish I could give the new update zero stars. I used to love this. I used to be able to look at all the reviews and actually be able to sort easily. They also removed certain price points, I had budgets of $11-12k and now the only options that are even close are $10k or $15k. Sorting through to try to find cars under $12k specifically is a pain. Not to mention that half the listings now are either broken or missing images. This is ridiculous. "Faster and better than ever!" Straight lies. more
No help from the company Sep 1, 2021

By Jeeps2005

I have tried reporting problems the the developers, and I’ve read the reviews here. I feel like the developers are ignoring the people who use the app. My biggest problem is that I can’t save cars on the app any more. The app tells me the limit is 100 cars, the problem is when I go to my saved cars there are only 20 in there. Not 100. So I have reported this and I feel ignored, they don’t write back and say we’ll look into this, they don’t tell me it’s a problem they know about and are looking into, and it’s not getting fixed. I just want to save and look at cars. I use this app all the time and don’t understand how the app was so amazing and it lost everything in one update. When the update first came out I couldn’t even search cars cause suddenly there were none for sale according to the app. The app also doesn’t load pictures. I feel that these are basic things that worked fine before. I’m sad this app is no longer worth the space it takes up on my phone. more

By maclingman

New App is worse. Sooo much wasted white space, it's eye searing. Feels like the pictures got smaller so we could instead see more blank space, which is perfect because I like to see as little relevant information at one time as possible.... Also it didn't transfer all my saved searches, and ones that did are missing parameters. Pops up to tell me it found zero cars for a search while showing me the correct results. This is a mess. Someone should be fired for thinking this was a good idea. more

Well it's time to find a new car app what used to be the very best used car app for years is now absolute trash after the update. Difficult to navigate It lacks a simplicity of the old version that made it such a pleasure to use. Even features such as search by keyword have been eliminated which were extremely useful when trying to pinpoint very niche vehicles. Also you used to be able to calculate your payment and apply it to all vehicles in your saved vehicles which is no longer possible. RIP more

By A Google user

I used to use this app on a pretty regular basis. I loved the simplicity and ease of searching for vehicles. More recently however, the app seems to be very unresponsive. It sometimes won't allow me to search and tells me to enter my zip code, after entering the zip it still won't allow searching. When I update my search filters it takes several minutes to update the results. more
Mar 9, 2019

By A Google user

The newest update of the app took away one of the best features the previous versions had....the ability to save your favorite dealers....for quicker access to their inventory. Now it just has a save feature for cars your interested in and your recent searches. The fact of having to look up a dealer everytime you want to see what they've recently gotten in their inventory is very frustrating. If it had the "save dealer" feature added back would be great and would prompt me to give the app 5 stars more
Stop abusing the app with excessive ads. Nov 24, 2018

By Odinu

Nothing feels better than finding what you’re looking for and making a satisfying purchase. The app is very intuitive and compliments the desktop version, but the latest updates makes the mobile experience horrible. There are ads within the search listings, there is non removal banner ad at the top and there pop up ads when you press a button just to navigate through the app. This is ridiculous. Bombarding users with non relevant ads is very annoying and counter-intuitive. I recommend creating an ad-free “Pro” version for those who enjoying querying through your database of a million plus listings without the headache. It’s only a matter of time when users will realize this and uninstall this app, while going to competitors who offer a better experience, or simply use a mobile ad-blocking alternative. more
I really tried to like it.... Oct 27, 2020

By ZReverend

I’ve used this the app for the past 5 years. I even found a my first luxury pickup and purchased it because of this app; If it wasn’t for that I would not have been as long suffering with it’s many consistent flaws. I’ve used it on the iPhone5, iPhone X, and now the iPhone 11pro Max. It has literally had the same quirks (sluggish, crashing, not seeing a network connection, etc) and the developers have still not been able to resolve them. Normally I wouldn’t give such a bad review before at least working with the support team to let them know of the issues; however, the updates stated that these were the issues they were addressing, yet to no avail. I’ve just given up and turned to AutoTempest. I’m looking for another luxury heavy duty pickup and I just can’t deal with the app issues any more. more

Glitchy and Too Narrow for iPad Screen Mar 11, 2021

By Miguelius51

What’s wrong with this app? I have used it on my iPhone for years and liked it. However, I loaded it onto my new iPad and it does not fill the entire screen, but is instead too narrow, much like a standard definition TV program that fails to fill an HDTV screen. This is pretty basic, isn’t it? Failing to fill an iPad screen? It’s also glitchy, as it locked up several times and would not allow me to return to the home screen. I’ve tried it several times, hoping they had corrected these problems, but ended up deleting it every time. more
Nov 16, 2020

By Chris Jones

I like the wide range of selections of vehicles plus the instant car fax availability. I haven't had any problems with the login nor the saving of favorite vehicles. I'm planning to purchase a vehicle within the next couple of weeks. As of 11/1/20, I haven't been able to save any favorites as before and the app won't allow me to delete saved favorites that are not available anymore. more
The app is incredible and makes finding the best vehicle easy to find Feb 6, 2020

By 565456

This app is so slow / glitchy that every time I scroll through I almost inevitably click on the wrong car or on one of there MANY ads they have playing all the time. I get the need to make money but every time I click back another full screen ad pops up. And after 5-10 I have to watch a 20-40 second long video about a game I will never play in my life. They keep adding new features and the app keeps getting slower. I would recommend just using the online version as it is much easier to navigate and much better functioning. more

This app did it's job! I found a car and I am happy with the purchase. I can research within the app, save searches and listings, and it updates quickly. This was also the easiest app to use of several I tried. I was able to find a unique used vehicle, for a great price, in great condition. As long as the seller uses the listing options adequately (like lots or relevant pics) you get everything you need. I plan to keep the app installed to look up exotics until I need it again. more
Best App to search for cars! Aug 26, 2019

By JMahs4Life

I have been using this app and a couple of competitors apps for some time now searching for a car to get at the end of this year. I can say with 100% confidence this is the best/easiest app to navigate. The UI is incredible with all of the different filters you can add to your search. I love how it narrows it down and tells you how many cars are going to be in the search based on which filter you select i.e exterior color, year, etc. I don’t typically write reviews so, obviously this app has given me a great experience! more

Easiest vehicle search app/website I've used because I always want to apply filters to find EXACTLY what I want. If I'm going to pay thousands I want every detail to match or I'll move on or wait. Large database for awesome selection and convenient tools once you start to consider financing. Is it perfect? No, but 5* for being better than all the others I've used. And I've used several. It's great for playing with filters to help decide what I want as well. more

Picture loading time takes too long. This could possibly be due to too many posters have too large of file size they’re uploading & it’s doesn’t compress properly.

For instance, let’s say I’d like to only see Toyota: 4Runners & Landcruisers as well as Jeep: Wranglers all in one feed. That’d be nice. Perhaps another feature would be to allow to shop for engines without models. Meaning, maybe I wanna see any auto which features a GM LS3 motor. Or anything with a Cummings? Furthermore, you’ve a lot of post which are incomplete. There should be a fail safe that a seller cannot post a listing if the form isn’t complete. Too many, “unspecified” vehicles in here.

I end up feeling like I’m wasting time viewing the same cars over and over again accidentally. Other than that, it really is my go-to car finder app! more

The app is great! I used it to find my last vehicle and really like the user friendly interface. I sometimes just hop on to see what is out there. My complaints would be the inability to zoom in on pictures and sometimes the app says it is loading the next 50 cars but never does. I just get the spinning circle of death lol. Over all I like the app over CarGurus and some of the others I've tried out. more
Great app....has a serious Glitch and crash issue though May 17, 2018

By JamesBfl

I just downloaded the application. The search filters are pretty good but I would like to see more filter options for specific options, specifically for the interior, and the ability to search multiple different brands/models at one time for a direct comparison. The glitch and crash....After you select a vehicle to view out of the filtered list you have created you cannot return to the original list without the app crashing and restarting. It happens every time. All in all it’s a great app and it seems to have a connection with more dealers than the “other” automobile search app. Please fix the issues. more

This App has been running very slow lately. Takes a very long time for pictures to load. Have it on more than one device and same problem on all and I have plenty of download speed. Uninstalled, reinstalled and same thing happens. One thing that would make it better would be a way to flag incorrect advertisements. For example, I specifically look for vehicles with manual transmissions and dealers list anything with a paddle shift and no clutch pedal as manual when it's not a real manual. more

Search customization is great but hard to remember to "clear all" sometimes when switching tracks from say an SUV to a convertible or a specific feature I've tagged that doesn't exist on another vehicle and no results come back. Easy to get confused. Might be a good idea to add a nanny here and there to help users remember when no results are found. more

It's a great app and all, but, a lot of the saves I've made are being removed. Literally just removed, not sold or unlisted, just removed from my save, meaning I have to go back and re-save the vehicle. Please fix this! It's very time consuming and tedious! Next thing is a request, but if we could report listings that would be great because I've noticed that there are about 50 or more different listings from the same seller for the same car! more
Bad update Oct 26, 2018

By lamblamb65

Whatever update y’all just did totally ruined the efficiency of the app and created bugs. Having to go back and choose the manufacturer before being able to choose the model , every single time, is ridiculous. It worked great before, with the manufacturer and model in 2 sections, why change it? I also noticed that since the update you can’t select the mileage option under the filter section, you have to go all the way back to advance search to use the mileage criteria. I’ve used this app nearly every day for the past 3 years and usually the updates are helpful and y’all seem to listen to your users, I hope you’ll listen this time when I say, you’ve made the app worse with this update. Also, side note, an iPad specific app would be great, just a thought. more
Better than most Jul 3, 2019

By iracecars

If you’ve been searching for a car you’ve probably downloaded every app and realized most of them work and feel like they were built by an intern. This app is slightly better than that, but that’s not saying much. Honestly I’m surprised this app has so many five star ratings. I guess the average person has extremely low expectations when it comes to buying a car. One “must have” feature I wish someone would implement is the ability to block/filter dealerships from results. There are dealerships I don’t ever want to see because I know they’re shady. And I absolutely do *not* want to see anything from Vroom, ever; who the heck buys a car online without driving it?! That’s insane. more

I used to use this app on a pretty regular basis. I loved the simplicity and ease of searching for vehicles. More recently however, the app seems to be very unresponsive. It sometimes won't allow me to search and tells me to enter my zip code, after entering the zip it still won't allow searching. When I update my search filters it takes several minutes to update the results. more

The newest update of the app took away one of the best features the previous versions had....the ability to save your favorite dealers....for quicker access to their inventory. Now it just has a save feature for cars your interested in and your recent searches. The fact of having to look up a dealer everytime you want to see what they've recently gotten in their inventory is very frustrating. If it had the "save dealer" feature added back would be great and would prompt me to give the app 5 stars more

By Brian Holsinger

Works well but needs work. The only thing that drives me crazy about this app is you can't go back and change a filter without it messing up the whole system. For instance I sometimes want to go back and narrow down my search but when you do that it does not take the first filters! I've done this with several different devices with the same results! Edit:. I realized the so called "FILTERS" Doesn't work! My wife wants a Sunroof and Leather, simple right? NOPE not on the app! VERY Frustrating! more
Almost unusable, pictures don’t load Apr 11, 2022

By Enginepy

I’ve been using this app for years and bought a lot of cars through it. But I’m the lady two years it has become almost unusable. The thumbnail pictures only load on about 20% of the search results. And when you click on a listing, almost no pictures load. Same on all my devices and even on the web version. I literally can’t use it to find a car anymore. I’ve left feedback dozens of times over the years and they don’t seem to care about users. There are so many little things that make the app annoying and they don’t seem to have any care for the actual user experience. I guess I’ll have to use one of the others apps more
Can’t use anymore :-( Aug 1, 2021

By MellyMel210

I am very disappointed in the required updates. Due to the pandemic money has been very tight and I am now forced to upgrade my phone because the model I have does not support iOS 13.... As of now, this is not possible financially which means I can no longer utilize this app to search for my next vehicle.... thanks for nothing Apple!!! 😡 The developers should be aware that not everyone has the funds available for a new phone and not require users to have updates that are not compatible with their phones. I know several other people with the same issue and it’s very frustrating trying to use an app that up until recently “requires” a certain software to function. more

Making car buying even more of a headache Oct 11, 2020

By Harleyd317

If they would simply put the necessary fixes into the app, this would be invaluable. But pictures never load, and the sorting of info is terrible. It must be the method the sellers input info that doesn’t get detected when you filter. If you choose you want a sunroof, well it will narrow down 500 vehicles to 10. But if you don’t filter that way, there are waaaay more vehicles that actually have a sunroof than it showed through the filter. So you’re forced to manually search through hundreds of vehicles, and pray to God a picture will load showing whether it has the features you’re looking for or not. There is also a tooooon of shady business practices done by dealers here. They consistently mis label vehicles, say they have features they don’t, and out ridiculously low prices ($1000 on a brand new vehicle) just to get them to show up in every search. It’s clear this company is just collecting money from the sellers, and pocketing it. The app has been this way for years, it’s nothing new. Autotrader has its own issues, but it does at least work the way you’d expect it to. more
Jun 14, 2021

By J. L.

The new app has made me do something I never thought I would do: delete it and switch to Autotrader. The search is a mess and since there isn't an auto reset button on the front page of the app and need to change the parameters of the search, you have to go through each item to reset or clear. It is so frustrating, I gave up. I had this app on my 3G in 2009 and have had it on every phone since. Also, where did the listings go? Listings have dropped considerably. more

Wish I could give the new update zero stars. I used to love this. I used to be able to look at all the reviews and actually be able to sort easily. They also removed certain price points, I had budgets of $11-12k and now the only options that are even close are $10k or $15k. Sorting through to try to find cars under $12k specifically is a pain. Not to mention that half the listings now are either broken or missing images. This is ridiculous. "Faster and better than ever!" Straight lies. more
No help from the company Sep 1, 2021

By Jeeps2005

I have tried reporting problems the the developers, and I’ve read the reviews here. I feel like the developers are ignoring the people who use the app. My biggest problem is that I can’t save cars on the app any more. The app tells me the limit is 100 cars, the problem is when I go to my saved cars there are only 20 in there. Not 100. So I have reported this and I feel ignored, they don’t write back and say we’ll look into this, they don’t tell me it’s a problem they know about and are looking into, and it’s not getting fixed. I just want to save and look at cars. I use this app all the time and don’t understand how the app was so amazing and it lost everything in one update. When the update first came out I couldn’t even search cars cause suddenly there were none for sale according to the app. The app also doesn’t load pictures. I feel that these are basic things that worked fine before. I’m sad this app is no longer worth the space it takes up on my phone. more

By maclingman

New App is worse. Sooo much wasted white space, it's eye searing. Feels like the pictures got smaller so we could instead see more blank space, which is perfect because I like to see as little relevant information at one time as possible.... Also it didn't transfer all my saved searches, and ones that did are missing parameters. Pops up to tell me it found zero cars for a search while showing me the correct results. This is a mess. Someone should be fired for thinking this was a good idea. more

Well it's time to find a new car app what used to be the very best used car app for years is now absolute trash after the update. Difficult to navigate It lacks a simplicity of the old version that made it such a pleasure to use. Even features such as search by keyword have been eliminated which were extremely useful when trying to pinpoint very niche vehicles. Also you used to be able to calculate your payment and apply it to all vehicles in your saved vehicles which is no longer possible. RIP more
Stop abusing the app with excessive ads. Nov 24, 2018

By Odinu

Nothing feels better than finding what you’re looking for and making a satisfying purchase. The app is very intuitive and compliments the desktop version, but the latest updates makes the mobile experience horrible. There are ads within the search listings, there is non removal banner ad at the top and there pop up ads when you press a button just to navigate through the app. This is ridiculous. Bombarding users with non relevant ads is very annoying and counter-intuitive. I recommend creating an ad-free “Pro” version for those who enjoying querying through your database of a million plus listings without the headache. It’s only a matter of time when users will realize this and uninstall this app, while going to competitors who offer a better experience, or simply use a mobile ad-blocking alternative. more
I really tried to like it.... Oct 27, 2020

By ZReverend

I’ve used this the app for the past 5 years. I even found a my first luxury pickup and purchased it because of this app; If it wasn’t for that I would not have been as long suffering with it’s many consistent flaws. I’ve used it on the iPhone5, iPhone X, and now the iPhone 11pro Max. It has literally had the same quirks (sluggish, crashing, not seeing a network connection, etc) and the developers have still not been able to resolve them. Normally I wouldn’t give such a bad review before at least working with the support team to let them know of the issues; however, the updates stated that these were the issues they were addressing, yet to no avail. I’ve just given up and turned to AutoTempest. I’m looking for another luxury heavy duty pickup and I just can’t deal with the app issues any more. more

Latest update has destroyed functionality. I have used this app for years, now all the sudden with the update cars that have sold and I removed from my saved list have somehow returned. Also you used to to be able to sort the saved list by add date, price, auto maker, etc. Gone, all gone. Also the per car saved email notifications are annoying as hell. I turned it off but I still get them... SOOO useful! more
