## Description

Dealer Car Search equips dealers with VIN barcode scanning to quickly add vehicles to inventory, plus tools to edit inventory and photos.

The app also scans Driver's Licenses to capture Leads and Floor Ups into an integrated Lead Management System, and includes a Vehicle Evaluator for wholesale and retail values, market rankings, and vehicle history reports.

## Review summary

User feedback highlights strong dealer tools and standout support, especially for onboarding and training, with the app working well when stable. However, chronic crashes, photo upload and camera alignment issues, and login friction (2FA) are the most cited pain points, along with update-induced bugs and VIN decoding problems that hinder day-to-day use.

### Pros

- Excellent, responsive customer support (e.g., Brendan and James) that helps with onboarding and issue resolution.
- Mobile-first, user-friendly app that lets dealers manage inventory and advertising without a computer.
- Helpful training and onboarding sessions that teach dealers how to maximize profits.
- Valuable inventory management and tools for website integration and closing deals.
- Positive interactions with support staff who are proactive and knowledgeable.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability on iPhone/iOS; the app fails to start or crashes during use.
- Photo upload issues: freezes, uploads fail, camera display misalignment, and non-working 'Done' button.
- Login friction: mandatory two-factor authentication and recurring login problems.
- Update regressions: new versions introduce bugs and reduce features like photo uploads and VIN decoding.
- VIN scanning/decoding reliability issues.
