DealDash - Bid & Save Auctions 17+

Throwing away money

While you can VERY RARELY win an auction... there are about a dozen people who control this app - they seem to have limitless bids and win everything (bots maybe?)- you see one of them jump into an auction and your heart sinks because you know they will bid forever and you will just waste all your bids so everyone gets out and they win without even having to spend much even though they are willing to... also you can be in an auction forever and have spent almost all your bids but then someone who placed one bid early on jumps in and wins because you run out of bids... overall you spend so much on bids that even when you do win something you are still down big bucks from all the ones you have not won but bid on... so do not be fooled when they let you win a couple when you are new... that is just to get you hooked ☹️ wish they could even the field somehow because it is fun to bid but unless you can lose lots of money... stay away!!!

After seeing an ad, I played along and bought bids.
Understanding how these gimmicks work, I used those bids to run some diagnostics to confirm what I already knew. The past winners are mostly the same "people" (bots). They seem to have unlimited money and could care less what they spend on buying a product because they only exist to save the product from being a loss. They site says they are "audited", but you cannot view the audit results and have no way to legitimize them as an actual audit. Every once in a while they give a squirrel a nut to actual people to use them as their
"keep the fires burning" proof of winners. If you don't make a bid within the first $5.00 you are locked out. So expect the bots to bid early once to reserve the ability to run up the bidding later. If this app truly has the number of people using this app as it shows they do, the "winners" pool would be bigger. The winners that are always winning are spending money per bid with many bids, plus winning the bids. They would have to be extremely wealthy and stupid with their money. That's not a likely combination. I spent money to investigate before investing in this gimmick. After all, being SMART with your money makes you achieve wealth. Save yourself and play a game, you won't come out ahead.

Bugs and hooks

I thought I would try this for awhile but I should have remembered my last experience and/or read the latest comments from users. I was delighted when I won 3 auctions in the beginning - 2 of them for 1 penny. Yippee! However, after 1 month I finally realized that apparently they let you win in the beginning to give you the feeling that you might actually be able to win an auction fairly reasonably often. I did end up getting a watch I really wanted, but when I reviewed what I had spent on bids (it’s so easy to rationalize $7 for 50-60 bids isn’t it - especially when you win early auctions with only 10 or less) I finally realized that what I got was costing me way more than I would ever pay for things were I in a brick and mortar store. I also discovered that this is time consuming, addictive, and extremely frustrating. I had actually used the bid buddy to bid on an item I particularly wanted, only to lose out because it didn’t put my bids in before the deadline that cut off new bidders.
Additionally this app keeps freezing which means I actually have to keep restarting my device to get back in. Not sure how many times this also prevented me from winning.
Bottom line - yes I won a few things, one of which I really wanted, but this is too irritating to give it a better review. Too bad because I thought I would enjoy this.
