The fact that I have real time access to bidding going on and live auctions is invaluable. It’s also fun to watch live auctions through the app. The information is accurate and up to the minute. I cannot recommend this app highly enough.

My title says it all. I wanted to bid on two watches. Created my profile on the website, said I could Only use the app to upload back/front pic of my drivers license. So I downloaded the app, attempted to bid in which it says please take a picture and upload which I did. It says it was successfully added to my profile. Then, I try to bid and it says error and the process happens all over again. At least with Christies, Phillips, etc. you can choose to upload a file (jpeg, etc.) of your license photo and even via their website. If you can’t even spend time reading this review, digesting the feedback from me & others and fixing your iPhone app…why would I risk spending big bucks on an item plus pay you a 26% buyers premium? It’s 2022, stop spending money on the nonexistent Metaverse features nobody will use and get the basics working first…is my suggestion. Your app is beyond frustrating and at this point I kinda feel sorry for the sellers, too. Even if you could email pictures of a drivers license, you don’t even support email encryption. How are you still in business at this point? Best of luck but I’m done. You lost my business by losing my trust in Sotheby’s.

As others have reported, the app is buggy. To bid on one of their auctions you must be verified. That’s fair enough. But you must download their buggy app and scan your ID using the scanner function in their app. The scan function uses something created by their developers and does not seem to use the built in Apple scan function. Their app refuses to focus. Emails to the company with photos of the ID remain mostly unanswered and I still remain unable to bid on a very expensive item coming up for sale. Busy people who wish to bid on multi million dollar items are not inspired with confidence by Southey’s poor app and poor performance. If I were selling an item I would definitely take it to Christies, Phillips, etc. where I have had excellent experience with their apps, authorizations, and customer service.

This app worked fine when I first installed it. After saving some items, I could see them under the “heart” menu for Collections/Objects. After a bit, when I went to tap on these items, sometimes other items would be displayed and other times, the “saved” status would be inconsistent. Now, it doesn’t matter what I save from my Feed, nothing shows up in saved Objects. Un-installing/re-installing doesn’t fix the issue. This app is fine as an item/auction browser but unless I can save items and return to them later, it only offers limited functionality.
