User Reviews

Reviewers report a mobile app that can work for bidding on Public Surplus items, with some users achieving wins. However, persistent reliability and usability problems—especially crashes, login failures, a frustrating UI, and notification bugs—make consistent use difficult. Some users note improvements after updates, and a few indicate the app now functions well for them, but overall experience remains inconsistent.

Pros

Mobile app provides convenient access to Public Surplus auctions.
Core functionality works and allows bidding when the app is stable.
Recent updates/fixes have improved reliability for some users.
Users have reported winning or bidding successfully on occasion.

Cons

Frequent crashes and 'an error has occurred' errors requiring reinstall.
App login/authentication problems persist, with failures or inability to log in.
Poor UI/UX design with wasted screen space and a cluttered, hard-to-use layout.
Buggy or nonfunctional notifications.

Recent reviews

This application works fairly well and it does what it’s supposed to do. The problem is that it’s not very pleasant to use due to the poor design execution. Large areas of wasted screen space, unbalanced text and image sizes, flat color scheme, image zoom seems to have a logic of its own.

I’m glad there is a mobile app, but they’re really lacking a lot of functionality to make this useful. For example, you can’t filter by auctions you’ve won. Just by auctions you’ve bid on and then you have to scroll through to find any you’ve won. You can’t search by radius, only by state. You also can’t only search by one state at a time, not multiple states. Vehicles are under a category called “motor pool,” which is confusing when you’re shopping for something with an engine. It’s not a bad service, but their website and app leave a lot to be desired, especially for such a high buyer’s fee.
