Boat Trader - Boats for Sale 4+

Is there a way to change back the older version. A slider for price range? A TERRIBLE UPDATE. Its not even a practical idea for a mobile device. We’re talking overlapping circles to move within 20k thats a lot of boats missed. I hate that i can no longer search on the app but have to use the website. The app was really good before someone put a crappy untested idea in there. it wasnt hard to type your max and min price. But this went from easy to unusable.

Update, they fixed the app and added both methods and now the app is great once again.

There’s a wealth of information on this app. Lots of boats, and easily accessible. From a technical standpoint though there are some issues that are pervasive enough to be quite frustrating.

For example when you choose a manufacturer and model, if you want to change the model in the filter menu, the app just won’t let you and you have to close it out and put the manufacturer in again. Also, expanding images isn’t very mobile friendly, either. If you click on one sometimes it is horribly scaled to the screen and won’t let you close out. Finally, the ad placements are a bit clunky and can easily lead to misclicks, taking you out of the app (and the ads sometimes pedal Pop Yachts whom many people here dislike including myself which just leaves a sour taste).

Overall a decent app, if you’re looking for boats it’s certainly a great place for it, but for now the technical/UI issues are pretty elementary and not something you’d expect for something so many people use to buy expensive things.

The app crashes and restarts without saving your search data. It has trouble keeping you in place where you were scrolling when returning back to search results after viewing a listing. This means you will have to scroll through a couple of dozen listings again just to find where you were at. Then when it’s all done and you’ve resumed where you were, it crashes when you click on another ad...

Other than that the sorting functions are very competent and so are the search parameters, good job there.

Only other thing this that you cannot choose to view pictures larger and it would be nice to have a picture viewer like Zillow to see the photos easier.
