New pricing ruined app
This app used to be great for checking live sales prices, as I go to auto auctions frequently. However, the new update blocks you from checking anything unless you pay hundreds of dollars. It only allows three clicks on any vehicle in the app, so if you accidentally tap 3 cars you can no longer use anything in the app. Absolutely awful update, never coming back again. Thanks RM Sotheby’s, corrupt company.
New pricing is pathetic.
The new pricing structure is truly pathetic and unnecessary.
Blocked key features behind a paywall
Used to be able to see info about cars that sold with ease. Now it’s a $5 a month subscription. If you want money for your niche app, just run banner ads….
New pricing strategy is a failure
Was a regular user of free version. Would pay for service if pricing made any sense. Regular paid tier is useless with such low limits on usage. Dealer price tier is necessary if you ever plan to use the app, but it is wildly too expensive for a car fan who uses this casually.

Now dropping $5/month in us during Auction Week?? All I have to say is “Hey Google!”

$300 a year? Seriously?
I’ve been using this app for years. I only check in every so often but after this recent update, it’s time to let it go. $300 a year or $29.99 per month is just ridiculous.
Very Disappointed in New Pricing
$300/year for the same functionality that was free until a couple days ago? I can understand needing to charge people to use this, but unless you get the “Dealer/Analyst” subscription you get an absurdly small number of searches. Even the lower priced subscription has truly stupid limitations on its usage.
I’m sure everyone is really excited that you guys pulled this new pricing scheme right before Monterey Car Week, which I’m sure is when your app is used the most out of the year. I do wonder how many people will actually pay for this, considering you guys have been covering fewer days of various auctions and now you think you should get paid an obscene amount of money for a service that actually delivers less than the free version provided.

New paid version tiers make no sense
Even if you want to support via the paid version, the extremely limited number of searches allowed is ridiculous.

Horrible
App is horrible
Gone to the dumps
Used to be good and free now they want $$$$
Terrible
Could not even log in.
Great in theory poor in function
Would be a great app if it actually worked as intended. Currently, you must log in each time you open the app and reselect auctions you are interested in viewing. You cannot select the auctions you have added or view the results of the auctions. Will reinstall once the kinks are worked out. Nice interface.
Good luck getting it to function!
After having and using it for maybe a month, I tried to open to track Mecum followed by Barrett as advertised. (Feb. ‘25)
When I tried to login, it refused to send the code to my email! I even tried deleting and reloading the app with no success. So much for actually being a useful app!!!
