Timed items, watchlist, auction results

Overall a pretty good app, but could use some modifications.

Need to revise app so that you can bid on timed auction items from the app and not have to log into the website.

Would be very beneficial if you could look up auction results in the app and not have to log into the website.

The watchlist function needs to be revised so that you can quickly delete items out of your watchlist without having to open the individual item up and uncheck it. It would also be beneficial to have a function where you could add items to your watchlist by either swiping right or left from the inventory or search screen.

App needs improvement.

The app itself is mostly functional, but it’s very irritating to not be able to search past selling prices easily.

About their functionality tests: The machines I was able to start did operate as indicated. None of the functionality tests for the excavators listed whether or not their thumbs where operational, and on 1/3 if the excavators that had thumbs they were not operational. About half to 2/3rds of the mini excavators had oil leaks that were both significant and obvious. No place was this noted in the in app description. Also, about 20% of the excavators and loader backhoes (not counting those listed as non-operational) wouldn’t start, so perhaps they were completely non-operational idk.

There’s really no substitute for checking the machines out in person.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback ! There is no substitute for checking the machines in person, but we try our best to provide helpful detailed information regarding each lot. We are always trying to improve our process and will use your feedback to help us make the app better. Remember all lots are sold as is where is.

Painfully slow during auctions

I find this app and the Ritchie Bro website to be abhorrently painful to use during an actual action. I wish they would just simply fix the search function so that when you look up a lot number it actually shows up in the search result. It’s painfully slow during the auctions (probably losing a lot of sales because of this) I’m almost always forced to go to the website in order to bid on items rather than use this lousy app. Needs more server capacity or something to speed it up.
