Borked
Today’s update is knackered. Unable to login.
Saved searches
Decent app with good notifications via email, however, on saving searches for specific vehicles the saved section of your profile drops additional filter so you end up with a search showing all engine sizes for example. BMW 3 series diesel engine 2.9 or greater shows saved but in your list when selected shows all 3 series models. When you do reactivate the filter in that search the red heart reappears at the top of the search- Still does not show in your saved section of your profile. Od have emailed instead of writing a review but all email contact is for advertisers or forum stuff, not app based queries. Good but needs refining slightly.
Does not stay logged in
Ok app if it stayed logged in, logs out constantly so saved searches/listings become meaningless
Good but has issues
Not a bad app but can crash at times and I don’t know if anyone else has a problem with the save search function but I can favourite vehicles but they don’t appear in the faves tab which is annoying.
Simply the best
An absolute must and a goto site for everything car related
Poorly constructed and managed app
The app does not allow you to log-in. After selecting the log-in option from the profile in the top left, you are just met with a blank screen that does not change or refresh. I have tried on a number of occasions and always experience the same result. The same inactivity is displayed when using the ‘contact us’ option. There is also a ‘contact developer’ option available from within the App Store. Helpfully, this doesn’t work either. What a waste of time!!!
Keeps Freezing
Trying to search and it keeps freezing, gave up after 6 attempts
Finally!
Finally they made an app. Thanks
can’t login
the login page is blank when attempting to login and the app itself is full of error codes when navigating it… shame because i was chuffed to see they’d dropped an app 😭
Overdue, but needs improvement
The launch of the PH app feels years overdue and is very welcome. On the whole, it’s great - but please can you introduce an ability to search news and reviews (not just cars for sale) and in addition add functionality to share news and reviews. Cheers.
Finally!
I’ve loved the PistonHeads website for years and I’m so glad they’ve finally brought out an app. No doubt I’ll spend a load more time on here now as everything is even more an accessible but the app itself is so user friendly and well thought out. Great job team PH!
Doesn’t work
App doesn’t work on my iPhone 12 Pro Max with latest software. Try to login, but the page is blank. Also says “failed to show” on everything
Disappointing
Eagerly awaited this app but disappointed as it just doesn’t work. Failed to load errors / none of the functions work ie: classifieds/auction, also unable to login (blank page). Really wanted to rate this app highly but shame nothing works.
Useless on iPad
The app sits in a tiny part of the iPad screen, it’s like looking at a small phone screen. Take a look at how the autotrader app works on an iPad and copy that, needs to fill the whole screen or it’s no good.
