    They "streamlined" the search and removed keyword filters and possibly more I didnt catch.

    The entire development team and management who greenlighted this should be fired. They've released multiple updates over the last few weeks and it fixed nothing. They're getting blasted in reviews. Think I will delete it and stick to cars.com

      @kingt Use a browser? I hate having an app for everything that can just be done as easily in a browser.

          @kingt Phones have browsers too lol. I use Auto Trader in my phone's browser all the time. Never even bothered to look for an app.

              Wait, phones have browsers? Is there an app for that?

                  @kingt The regular version kind of sucks, too. You have to click through too many steps before you get to the search filters. Why are price and model years considered "advanced" search options? That should be on the landing page.

                    @facw I hate those. I mean, design a good website and make it responsive and recognize I’m coming from mobile, and stop wasting money on app development.

                    • @texturedsoyprotein You guys are not helping! I was hoping to get some tips on a splash-proof PC setup for the toilet, so I can dump the app and browse the full version of Autotrader on the go!

                        @kingt The mobile web version has all the filters you need but if you absolutely must view the desktop version, at least on an Android phone all you gotta do is go into the options in Chrome and check the box for Desktop Site.

                                • @davesaddiction There used to be, on the website. The box at the bottom of the search, you could have put -Corvette, -Camaro, etc, but now it is gone.

                                    @kingt I stopped using autotrader on the web and in app form years ago. They’ve been doing this streamlining thing a while and it got really hard to determine what was a “paid” post (ahem…an ad) and what was a legitimate result.

                                    If I feel the need to browse I typically head over to CarGurus, I don’t know if they’re really much better, but they felt better at the time.

                                      @kingt I agree whatever they have done to the site makes it harder to use. Custom search has become kluged. You back up or change something and all the search criteria disappear. Whatever.

                                        I mean, have you used the app before? It has been boarderline useless for at least the last two years, maybe more.

                                        I love Autotrader, but their app dev needs to go. Also, isn't it about time we have 'ventilated seats' as a damn search filter? It is 2021, not 1994.... you tease us with 'heated seats' but still hold 'cooled seats' ransom. Cruel bastards...

                                                @kingt I've been having problems with the Autotrader app for a long time. Leave the app open, and it acts like you didn't sign in and there is no internet. No saved cars, no saved searches, no locally stored info, just errors all the way. Closing it and reopening it always fixed it, but it's annoying to leave a search for a few minutes to have everything broken when you come back.
