I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice, and your app button tells me I am using an outdated application. I am sent to PlayStore where I only have the option to uninstall or open. Open goes to page that directs you to PlayStore. The endless circle back to uninstall. Thanks, but I have had enough. Keep working on your app....maybe you can get it to open.
Stupid filter system, that doesn't filter anything. You enter a distance close to you (100 miles) and the first several pages of listing are their "premium" listings which end up being more and hundreds of miles away. You spend too much time sorting the non-applicable listings. Frustrating, so I deleted the app.
Overall this app is good for looking at boat ads. Where it fails is having to sign in every few minutes to save boats you're interested in. I can't view more than a few before being asked to sign in again, and again, and again, and again. It wouldn't be a big deal if I at least went back to the pages I was viewing once I signed in, but I have to recreate my search all over again and try to find where I left off. This gets very frustrating very fast. Please fix.
Crash and ads since update. Apparently STABILITY is less important than advertisement revenue. Every time I try to filter by make it crashes. And VERY intrusive ads.
The last version was good bit today somehow was upgraded to "BETA" and all my saved boats are gone and listing pictures say not available. Not sure what is going on but please fix!!!
The app is difficult to use compared to the online. My saved searches don't appear to notify me when a new boat arrives. Pending sales doesn't show on the app.
I cannot sign in some email or through account for Google. It has me sign in guest and I can't even type in the make or model of a boat it does not bring up the keyboard. And I've noticed a few other people have complained the same thing and other reviews.
Great app easy to use and msg sellers, careful not to double press the bk button cus of a slow page relading buffer, will lose ur current search parameters))
Almost unusable - try to save a search then it says you need to login, but there is no prompt or a way to find a login.
Was good, until the update limited your search to 1000 miles. If I want to buy a boat on the other side of the US and have it shipped to me, i have to look for it through other apps now.
The sellers NEVER take their boats off the listing. I would say over 90% of the boats on here, have been sold. Months and months ago
I cannot see photos on most listings. The few that I can see have 1 or 2. This is pointless for searching for a new boat.
Great app for buying, selling, and estimating value. Annoying part is that you must contact the dealer for the price of a new boat.
Constantly logs me out, can't even get through looking at my search results before getting a message that I'm no longer logged in and can't save to my favorites
Why the heck does the widget for the new updated version (that doesn't work) say "Beta"? Why would you be automatically pushing out beta version updates?
Keeps saying I'm using an older version and I needI Uninstaller, uninstalled, then re installed the app and it still doesn't work.
Very useful, I use it at least once month, I wish log ins lasted longer, but other than that great app
BT, let's you search for the type, price, and area. Best there is!
Will not show boats in California I live in the San Joaquin Delta there has to be someone selling a houseboat I find every other state. The the message of not being able to load more vessel for sale. Switched to looking for a bass boat there are no listing for bass boats even though there is a spot that says bass boats samething with a ski boat. I'll stick with Facebook Market Place and Craigslist this app is a joke. I signed in using 4 different accounts because once it says no boats everytime
Not a good experience for me. The filter sliders are hard to use when you get them close to each other (eg price min and max) and there's no option to require a price for a listing. So if you're looking for a cheap boat (like I am) you end up with listings from dealers who don't provide a price and get treated as $0. It's a false positive. It might be easily mitigated by providing an easier to adjust price filter. Uninstalled it due to the login timeout issue.
Works great . Very informative. And lots of all kind of boats for everybody's taste.
Fantastic app. I just purchased a new boat using this app and got a fantastic deal. Special boat.
Great app, easy to navigate. Lots of great pics and good info on listing's well done.
This app is good at allowing you to see what is available in your area. Recommended improvements: (1) allow shoppers to view pics in full screen via the app, and (2) hold the shoppers place after looking at a boat. Currently after I look at a boat, the app scrolls back to the beginning and I spend several minutes trying to find where I left off. Great concept and it does exactly what it was designed for (advertise watercraft to the masses in a central location).
This app is horrible! I've tried it on several different devices all linked to my Gmail account, but every device yields the same result. The app logs me out every few minutes, can't even perform a search without it freezing or having to re-login. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, and still the same results. Very frustrating!
The app has several issues. Firstly, it is very glitchy. The photos flicker for some reason. Second, there is NO option to save your searches which makes it so you have redo your filters literally every single time you access and/or leave the app. For instance, if you have to go to a different app while you are looking through the results of your search, the app reloads itself and totally loses it place. Last but not least, this app chows down on battery so much the phone gets hot. Note 10+.
Very buggy!!! Should come with a seizure warning, many elements constantly flashing at high speed on the screen. Filters: once you get the keyboard up, sometimes can not get it to go away, so you can tap the search button. And when you do some of them do not work, like price filter. Wish I could give zero stars. Galaxy S20 ultra, latest updates on phone and app, as of post.
I rarely review apps, but this one is a real pile. Login with oauth doesn't work. Search doesn't work; no results returned for anything. Browsing by category doesn't work. It's essentially totally useless. Perhaps I installed at a time their services are having an interruption, otherwise I can't understand how this would be useful for anything at all. Oh, the annoying ads do work. Btw, I develop apps like this for a living, so I know how to use my phone. Zero stars if it was possible.
App needs some work, it does not appear that a user can set a default search location, the apps default is to search for whatever is closest to you (this does not work for those of us that work on the road) App is slow and glitches when zooming in on the boat photos. A large majority of the boats for sale do not have a price listed (call for price) Whomever posts a boat for sale should know how to take good photos. (Ex/Remove the hood from the motor, overall photo of entire boat etc.)
The app is awful. I spent $160 on an enhanced listing. 1st I was only able to add 3 out of the 12 photos; 2nd- my boat was not listed properly on site, I can never find it. Everytime going into the app if I have saved something it is now gone so I waste time trying to find items previously saved. Waste of money and want a refund!!!
