User Reviews

The CTBIDS Android app is praised for its auctions and company but suffers from significant usability problems. The most reported issues are keyboard malfunctions preventing text entry, poor search by location features, app crashes, and difficulties with payment input. While the auction platform is well-liked and sometimes easier via the app, users predominantly prefer the website due to these app glitches. Some updates have improved the app, though many still find it unstable and frustrating to use.

Pros

The auction company behind the app is highly regarded with quality lots and themed packages at competitive prices.
Users appreciate the convenience of bidding on items through the app compared to the website at times.
The app is considered a good alternative to the website by some users and has had improvements with updates.
App design includes some useful features like a bidding tab.
Users find the in-person and online auctions enjoyable and the people involved friendly.

Cons

The keyboard frequently disappears or does not stay active, making it impossible to enter search terms, personal information, or bids.
The search functionality, especially searching by location or narrowing down auctions, is buggy or nonfunctional.
App stability issues including frequent crashes, freezing when viewing images, or being logged out unexpectedly.
Payment methods cannot be added or validated properly within the app.
User interface issues such as inconsistent navigation, lack of cohesiveness with the website, and poor handling of photo galleries.

Recent reviews

Love that there is an app now, however, the search function is not working. I do have the latest version loaded. What else can I try?

App is broken although the website works fine. This is a shame because the website tries to push people to the app. Specifically - the keyboard will not stay up long enough for you to enter personal information, location, search terms, etc. So basically the app is useless at this point. (I hope that's enough specifics for you, and I shouldn't need to contact you, since the issue isn't specific to me - just try it yourself on an Android phone and you will see what I mean).
