LOVE THE TRENDING SECTION
Bad apps
Try to sign in to bid but never success. Wondered if any technical support on this app.
Hi
Can some please contact the administrator of this app . I love it but it’s always closing out for me
So slow
So slow. No response.
User experience
There’s one thing that drives me crazy and that is a reason why I don’t go everyday on it: The PREVIOUS button < This little arrow on the top left corner, you might click on it it’s not working, so you try again a few times and then it works. Please developers, enlarge the active space to click on this thing !! Thank you.
Great app!
Easy to use and stylish.
一星都不值
一星都不值
Well-designed, clean aesthetics.
Easy to navigate and works well. Zero complaints!
Needs a lot of improvement
Really don’t love the app. Other major auction houses are more reliable. Today I can’t pull up lots I’m winning on! Note to the tech team.
Ok
Does what it says
A massive step on
Wonderful new version of the app, love it!
Extraordinarily bad
Really shocking that such a prestigious auction house has such a poor app. Dial up internet is faster.
Navigation is so much easier!
Images look so great and downloading catalogues is so simple.
New app
Old app worked perfectly ok, new update search facility broken & past lots only show error message
Lovely application, but...
The app is app is simple, clean and easy to use, unless you are looking to quickly upload a piece for valuation. After multiple tries to send in the form with pictures, I became extremely frustrated. It must be either a problem from the update to the app in October 2014 or a unwritten way to slow down the faux pax requests for reviews of their items. I suggest they let the developers know so that it can be quickly updated or remove the option all together.
So much cleaner than the previous app
This is feeling a lot cleaner than the previous version of the app
Worst Major Auction House App
I don’t know how this app keeps getting updated but keeps getting more bugs and worse UI changes. It’s updated frequently and every time I open it I like it less. I highly prefer browsing auction catalogs on my phone, and I use most major auction houses apps. I have to use the Christie’s website in my browser because this app is so difficult to use.
Christie's app
Well laid out and easy to use. Well done.
Constant crashes and error messages
This app is constantly giving me various error message when trying to use it. Frequently item pages don’t load or take 20-30 seconds to load details. The app frequently crashes and closes while using it. Christie’s is such a huge multi-billion dollar company... you’d think they would have an app that actually works.
Très bonne appli... Mais ...
En effet l'appli est très bien mais depuis plusieurs mois impossible de se connecter ! Il me semble qu'il n'y ai pas trop de suivi sur un bon fonctionnement !!!!
Dangerously Fun
This app is apparently secure (it requires its own passcode in addition to a Christie's account) but I have to worry about myself now - it's too easy to participate in online auctions and track lots on which you're bidding.
Haven’t been able to log in for weeks
Even tried reinstalling the app and the login just hangs after asking for credentials. This isn’t just a momentary outage…the app seems broken?
Christie's app
Very useful app, indead.
Crash
Just fix the crashes we’re facing, since we’re using the app in this time of year (quarantine) It swiches off awfully
Good app
Great app. Really enjoy using it.
Can’t even log on
Hey Christie’s, I can’t even log onto your app. Most of the time I can’t even get it to open on my phone. It just sits there stalled. Major disappointment for one of the best auction houses in the world. He won’t stay that way with this app!
Best auction house app
Easy to use and navigate. The bugs seen to be mostly sorted now.
Rotation of screen
Can't get the app to rotate to "Lansdscape mode" on an iPad Pro
Great improvement!
This new app is a great improvement from the old Christies app. I love the new design and how easy it is to search for lots in upcoming sales. I also really like how simple it is to manage my Chrisite's account from the app and place absentee bids. Other art market apps - like Sotheby's - have much to learn from this.
Bad Design!!!
Why do we need this app?? I tried it and it has this big bar at the bottom and 1/4 of the top does not go away!!! You have taken away so much of the browsing screen by leaving those annoying menus or whatever they are! Just go to the website on a browser! You can scroll using your entire screen. So much better!
Pretty good
I've used the app for a while and find it quite useful. I've had one or two glitches in the past with it freezing or crashing but the latest update seems to have sorted that problem. Very good for keeping up to date with the different sales and viewing the different lots.
Looks sleek but is not fully functional.
Christie's app offering auction estimates? That is a brilliant idea but sadly it does not presently work. Surprising coming from an auction house such as Christie's to release a buggy app. Please stop wasting people's time and fix it.
Browsing this app
...is a joy. Fast and intuitive. Great auctions too. Would like to see sorting lots by high to low price; if it was there, didn't see it.
The slowest app ever
Over designed and under engineered. Extremely difficult to use.
Clashmore.
One of the best apps for auction houses that I have. Far better than Sotheby's app better design and the grid is excellent . First class.
ALWAYS CRASHES
See above. The update looks great, but it's slow as hell and always force closes/crashes so it doesn't matter. Well done...
Much Needed Update
Finally!! This is what I'm talking about. The new update is a huge leap in the right direction. Pumped to see you can now place bids for online only sales.
Slowest App ever
See title
Works great
No probs with this, an interesting app.
Suspicious
I can't believe that no one has reviewed this app since November 2010. ? Anyone smell a rat?
Christie's App for iPhone
Very user friendly. The quality of the pictures and ease in navigating back and forth from the catalogue to zoom on the photos is excellent
Garbage
Garbage
Well made
Just perfect. Good interface. Works fluently. Only want to: more Wallpapers of Art.
