## Review summary

Users largely praise CARFAX as a helpful car-search tool with useful history data, but several issues recur across reviews. The top complaints are: filters and search settings constantly resetting or not persisting; inaccurate or unavailable listings, including bait-and-switch concerns; removal of saved searches and limited sharing of listings; login/authentication problems; and performance/stability problems (crashes, freezes, or failed loads after updates). Many want navigation and interface changes rolled back and saved searches restored. Overall, the app remains valuable for researching cars, but reliability and consistency have declined in recent updates.

### Pros

- Detailed vehicle history and maintenance records help with buying decisions.
- Easy-to-use app that makes it easier to find cars.
- Provides useful background information on vehicles to aid evaluation.
- Overall helpful tool for researching used cars and their history.

### Cons

- Filters and search settings reset or don’t persist, and the search UX is problematic.
- Listings are often not available or misrepresented (bait-and-switch), with cars not at dealers.
- Saved searches were removed and sharing listings is limited; can't save multiple makes/models.
- Login/authentication issues and failed verifications.
- Performance issues, including crashes, freezes, and pages not loading after updates; UI changes degrade usability.
