AutoUncle: Search used cars

When you open a notification about a new car in your search, the app opens on a loading screen that loads infinitely. That's the most important feature in that IMHO, and it doesn't work

Update: Amazing Support, problem solved. Thanks David - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Older review: If Location and some other filter like km get to work right, it will be a great app but like this it couldn't be that much helpful that it should be, please fix it. It can be a brilliant application.

Great database, many cars across counties but it is a shame that you can't search for a sub version of a model or the size of the battery on an electronic car. I gave up on this app pretty fast as well as I did on their website. Dear Autouncle, get inspired of bilbasen.dk they are way ahead of you but just not active in other countries..

Hopeless. Narrow your search to electric cars -> finds petrol cars. Try to login -> get a message about wrong passwords, but no way to reset your password. Etc etc. A lot of effort had been put in to making a great service some years back completely useless today...😒👏

Keeps stopping so pretty useless, nowhere near as good as the auto trader app, that one remembers the search parameters, auto uncle you have to always re-enter what you are looking for every time you open the app which is annoying, after the last update it is opens the links from the notifications, so great response from the developers, wish it saved the last search on the opening landing page, possibly a future release?

Sometimes this app lead to different listings or car year doesn't match or price, but overall I think it is great because most listings are fine and it takes you to places you would be unlikely to find otherwise. Good effort guys.

Very useful, though it would be nice if it opened links to the corresponding app rather than in the built-in browser. Edit: After testing the app I have to remove one star as saving multiple searches under the notifications menu causes the app to open the incorrect item when selecting from the list...

Since the update last week, the opening from a notification often ends up in a blank white screen. Could also do with a sort on price drop so you can quickly find the cars that have recently come down in price. Other than this excellent app.

It's ok to find cars on different markets but you have to check every time the country,it would be nicer to select all countries at once and search. Another problem I've seen is that one post came this morning as a new ad but the same car is on that address for 3 days now!So definitely this is not reliable in this matter..but hey , I'm sure the developer is working to make this better.

The app itself is really good with the exception of 2 things. Firstly, when doing a search you put the make and model in first that you are looking for followed by your postcode. Everytime you put your postcode in, it resets the first 2 fields, you have to input them again. The second thing is if you have any alerts for new vehicles matching your search criteria, you get the notification, click on it and it just goes to the search page and has a symbol spinning indefinitely.

Initial searches return lots of good results but I've yet to contact any sellers regarding the cars listed so can't comment on how reliable and up to date the listings are. However my login credentials don't seem to work on the app so I can't favourite listings or access the saved searches I've created on the website which drastically reduces the functionality of the app for me.

Many listings are collected from third party platforms which themselves clone the listings from the original website. Links also point to those platforms instead of the original listing. Therefore many listed cars are already sold. What use is a meta search when the collected listings are not accurate and out of date? Nice looking app, but useless in current state.

I was enjoying it until the recent update! Thereafter, (1) It freezes and shut itself off, (2) It no longer opens the main link to the seller website; I thought if I can clear the cache it might help, it did not. I had to go as far as unistalling the app & reinstalling again but it didn't help either! if you can fix this and add: (3) conversion between miles and kilometers I'll be delighted.

Edit: I apologise, I found the UK option in the search section. Perhaps have a setting to leave this on so I don't have to change it everytime I open the app? Apart from that, its actually a brilliant app which combines most popular car selling sites into one search engine. Apart from tediously having to change the country settings each time it's brilliant!

Dreadful. Works the first time, accepts search criteria. Most times now when I respond to a push notification from the app, the dreaded turning circle goes on and on. Tried all of the usual app fixing actions... no better. Oh, and on the odd occasion when a notifaction said that there where3 new cars of my specified type... if I could get it to launch... Where are the 3 newly listed cars???

I really like that it searches multiple websites. It's definitely on the right track to becoming a good app. Unfortunately the UI is a disaster and searches are not very customizable and you have to choose from presets (prices and mileage not user defined but in preset intervals, no trim level selection, among other design atrocities). Also, it doesn't include all results that match the search criteria even from the sites it searches. With some work.. much is possible!
