Great when it works...UPDATE. The “watch” and “remind” functions are great tools to keep tabs on items you want.....when they work. The remind function isn’t alerting me of closing auctions until an hour after the auction has closed. Defeats the purpose of the app all together. Update - they corrected the issue. 5 stars.

Simple, but does help. I use this all the time now to find stuff. I like the added feature of seeing actions I won. It is worth the low price. Suggestions: make it more obvious how to filter to just some locations and clearer on if watch list is one saved in app or bidfta. I also use on my iPad in evening so would like the notification alert to come via a text message.

Time saver when looking for items. Edit: Works again! Would still like the ability to get alert when keywords have items added! Thank you. ---------------- Decent app could use some enhancements such as notifying when keywords become available. Also it does miss finding some of the auctions but still better then me search through them all. At this time the app doesn't work anymore, Fast track updated their URL and it broke this app. I hope the developer fixes this.

Late Texts. Disappointing. Good for narrowed searches. Several times I’ve been notified via text that an item is ending only to find out it has already ended! What a waste. Guess I need to go back to setting alarms and reminders on my phone. You shouldn’t charge for an app if it doesn’t work. Charge once you’ve got the kinks worked out!

Garbage app. Used to buy a lot from here now constantly having to login just to view items and always kicks back to main page tried this app and can even use the app completely useless and a waste of money waste of space on device and 2.99 I won't get back

Wow!. Are you freaking kidding me!? Dude. This is a GAME CHANGER. You can’t search in the website!? I’ve been using bidfta for YEARS. I have spent a year of my life browsing through auctions endlessly. Now I can search for exactly what I want! Idk how you did it but amazing job. Please keep it up!

App works great!. Only thing I would change is if the notify me of the watched item ending was tied to the end time of that exact item, not the generic ending time of the entire auction that the item is in... thanks!

Spam texts. I want to give this app 5 stars because being able to search for exactly what I’m looking for and be notified when an item is ending are great features; however, I’ve never received spam texts until the moment I entered my cell number in the app to be alerted when an item is ending. I wish I could take that decision back! I am so annoyed now and deleted the app. It’s not worth it.

Paid to BUY the app, now I need to pay a subscription and it still doesn’t work. I had previously PURCHASED the premium version of the app and functionality disappeared so I paid the subscription to get functionality back and it still doesn’t even work. The Watch feature is completely broken and doesn’t work which is extremely frustrating especially after both buying and subscribing to the premium version of the app.

Question Regarding Search. Is there anyway to create predefined searches and receive a notification if new auctions match those keywords? An example would “drill” and then receive a notification if drill is in the subject of the auction item.

Buggy. For a paid app, it’s very buggy. Do not use the “remind” feature. It “reminds” you to bid hours after the deal ends. Literally hours later.

Fasttrack. I’ve been bidding on items through Fasttrack since 2019. I always check Fasttrack it before shopping anywhere. Most of my purchases have been as expected. Great company.

Not getting what I subscribed to. I paid the 9.99 to be able to receive push notifications/text messages and it still isn’t letting me. It wants me to pay again. How can I fix this?

Pay For Notifications?. Without warning, the app now wants a $10 annual subscription to be notified of ending auctions. I purchased the app years ago, but now I’m being asked to pay again with a subscription fee for a basic app function. Disappointed to say the least.

Crashes...a lot. Updated on 5/23 The latest update seems to have brought stability. Now the app works as it should. You can set search locations and it keeps them. The biggest improvement is no more crashes! Moved from 2 to 4 stars. -----original review----- Want to click on an item, it crashes. Want to save a search, crash. Want to view a saved item, crash. Good application in general as it fills a gap from the crappy bidfta website but it needs A LOT of work.

Items Watched No Longer Showing. I've updated the app, paid the new substitution fee, etc but the items I've watched aren't showing in the section where they should be present. When I attempt to reach out to the developer for assistance, clicking the email button leads to a dead end. I'm at a loss here - super frustrating.

I CAN SEARCH!!!!!!!!!. Seriously, scouring the BIDFTA website is terrible if you’re looking for a specific thing. I was looking for a lathe and the website will show any auction that has “lathe” including words like lather (as in soap). But this app pulled up a lathe. Looks like there are more features on here too but seriously, being able to do a simple search and get direct results is totally worth the $3.

Doesn’t work any more. This is the only application I have found to search bid FTA. This app was working intermittently in the past, but basically stopped working about a week ago. It no longer searches the bid FTA website. The developer has been unresponsive to My emails and texts to fix it. Until you see a review that says it started working again, I would not buy this application.

Latest upgrade causes the Watching tab to freeze. As of today, when going to the Watching tab, the app freezes and need to be relaunched, rendering the app useless. Also, when looking at some saved searches, the app suddenly closes. Seems several bugs are present in the latest upgrades. (iOS 16.3.1)

Does not give you the right info abt inventory and price. Does not show all the items from the auction . It’s not getting updated with the inventory. Just found out when I checked the site, I had been assuming that there were no new items for bidding . Is this what you get for paid app ???

Great apl. I have loved this app for years it's such a great layout and much easier to navigate than the official app

What A Waste!. I paid $2.99 for this app when I used to have it for free and u could bid look at actions and all that but was laggy and still was way better! This app is garbage for the main things u want it for! It tells u very little and not worth the $2.99 I spent on it at all, I am disappointed in this because I love the site but this is just horrible.. I want my money back from this app.... wasted money.. Vincent: how can I respond to you if I have no way to contact you? Please respond with a way to contact you in order to better this app.

Please add the following feature:. Vance, please add a history of recently searched items or a favorites list so we can search for the same items every week. This would make the app nearly perfect and save a lot of typing. Thank you for your great work! This app is really solid.

Good but descriptions have issues. I like the app. It worked well before the bidder interface changed. Now the issue is that most descriptions appear to not match the bid FTA description which makes the search hard to use. For example, search table saw and you get minimal results. Search “delta” and you get saws. It is cumbersome.

Search isn't working anymore. Worked up til Saturday. No longer works. I've tried a few different devices. And my friends are complaining about the same issues. Searching no longer pulls up any results. Bummer. Please fix!!

Can’t do anything. I was expecting an app with lots of features. I thought I would be able to place bids and look at all available products with real time updates. Many of the auctions are missing from the app and you are unable to bid without being redirected to the website. Love BidFta but this app is not helpful!

App makes searching easy. I just purchased this app, and it makes searching and browsing items on the Fast Track auctions really easy. The interface is very intuitive and easy to use. I emailed the developer with a question I had about one of the features, and the developer answered my question within a couple of minutes. Very pleased with this app so far.

Search not working. I was using this for a while and now he search does not work. The last update does not work well. Please fix it. Updated review. Thank you for the quick fix!!!

Use this app daily, but push notifications have ceased. First, I love this app. So many great things to say about it. In the last several days the push notifications don’t seem to be getting pushed - not sure if there’s something different on the FTA website causing this or not since this app still knows items are ending given text message reminders still work if I use those - but I really liked the push notifications much more. Am I the only user having issues with them or is this something others are experiencing?

Paid users have been screwed over. I paid for this app and at one point found it useful. In the recent update, the developer has removed functionality that it used to have access to. If I want those features back I now have to pay a subscription fee. Thanks for providing NO update on these changes and making the paid app that I bought from you now less functional. I would not have updated the app if I knew you were going to make it essentially a downgrade.

Best way to search Fast Track It Auctions!. Fortunately I found this app very early on with fast track it & it has helped me tremendously, when searching auctions! I also requested a couple of enhancements a while back & he implemented them in a couple days, if that. Thanks!!

Used to work. Now it doesn’t show anything. Everything you search for says no results found. A waste until you fix the search function again. Dev fixed my problem. Thank you

Just some improvements. I love bid! A few things I think could be improved with the app/website as a whole. 1) link them more/work nicer with each other. If I save things on app it doesn’t show up saved online 2)leave a “keep me logged in” option (having to log in and out every single time is a lot) - website mostly. I do love bid! Just think some improvements could better the experience and the ease of the experience. Thanks for all you do!

Works good. Little clunky but works, it randomly cleared all my saved locations and I thought it quit working. Sent email to support no response

Very helpful when it’s working. This app makes searching so much easier. Unfortunately the app is no longer finding recent auctions in the search. Today is 3/12 and I see no future auctions past 3/13. Items I see in on the website are not showing up in the app. Revised: developer was very responsive to the issue. The app has been fixed.

Greed took over the app. I love the app and paid in full for the app a few years ago. Now the app is on a subscription model (with no warning or option to bypass for paid users) for features I paid in full to use, now I will have to continuously pay for something I purchased outright. Seems like bait and switch to me.

Search Feature!. Love the search feature and notification settings!

Good not great. Good not great a lil expensive for what you get but it does make searching through auctions 100X easier. Seems to need more polish for price . Doesn’t show accurate last fetched bid. Doesn’t find all auction items with search engine, and sometimes you’ll run into small bugs that cause inconvenience.

Awesome. Great app to follow the auto on. The search function is powerful and links easily to the auction site.

Now a sub all. Without warning, an app update comes out for the app I paid for and breaks the notifications, making it a subscription model costing three times the app price. I didn’t know the app update would end notifications because the notes didn’t clearly state that. This is no longer worthwhile. The official bidfta app has improved. Just use that. Disappointed.

Must Have!. This is a must have app, if you frequently search Fast Track. This app makes it so much easier, to find things you are looking for. The app is easy to navigate, and very well designed. I would like it even better, if watched items synced between devices. When I am not at home (ie. away from my iPad), i can’t check on items I have saved 😥

Decent app...but.... I purchased this app in hopes to help me keep track of some of my watched items and alert me before auctions close, which it does, but I think it is missing some key features. Would like to view and browse through all current auction lots and select items to watch from there. Would like to see current price of watched items. One issue that I am running into is that I am unable to search for some items that I see online. Update 9/4/17 - As I mentioned before. There in an auction lot that I am watching online, but I am unable to search and locate items through the app. The entire auction is missing. So I can't use the app to track items...will have to resort to using the website.

Good app that keeps improving. I left a so-so review when this app was first released. I’m leaving this more favorable review because Vincent has improved the app and continues to do so. While the app crashes occasionally (for me especially with really long lists of search items found), it is still a daily app to use for me! You can find any item you’re looking for across any of the bidFTA auctions no matter how far out the auction is. The search accuracy has been improved in the past several months. Connection to Bidfta’s site when looking at an item has been improved. Vincent will also respond quickly to you if you leave feedback for him through the app. There are improvements still to make like in the Saved Searches tab, but I think Vincent has a winner with this app and it should only continue to improve with each new update. This review is my own opinion, and I don’t have any business or other connection to the developer.

The only consistent way to find and track items. BidFTA constantly changes their site; and their search is laughable. This app provides a consistent experience to browse BidFTA, and a very handy level of filtering and on top of their site. The search engine is fantastic, and the sms notifications are a nice touch.

Needs work. Needs work, would like to log in a track everything from the app, not be redirected to the web to log in anyways.

Very good app. In general very good app. Couple of improvements will make it awesome. Display item condition on the search so you don’t have to open the site. Also select locations based on distance from your current location

Makes Auctioning WAY easier. I love how I can search by key word and then save the items to watch. Much easier than searching auctions 1 by 1 My App improvement recommendations would be: - ability to setup push notifications. So I make a keyword search like “chair” and it notifies me anytime a chair is posted. With this, also the ability to set frequency of “alert immediately” or “1x/day send everything that’s been posted since the last time it pulled. - I like looking at the Ending Soon. Maybe a multi filter so you could filter the Ending Soon to a dollar amount. “Show me everything ending soon under $10” - ability to export everything you’ve purchased into a spreadsheet with the auction #, description, tag #, quantity, and pickup timeframe. Plus an extra blank column so when you arrive, you can pencil in all the locations.

Used to function. I just downloaded the app a week or two ago and it used to work without issue. Now it won’t return searches using words in the description. I have read the other suggestions of clearing locations and updating but this doesn’t help. For example I can search “roomba” and get no hits. If I type in “652” I get hits with roomba 652 in the title.

App update. I updated and now my watchlist shows nothing in it every time I try to use the app. If I search I can find the item and see I’m watching it but it doesn’t show in watchlist anymore. The update didn’t work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and restarted my phone and nothing works

Needs update. Simple app but great for searching for a specific item but is not working with the latest changes on bidfta. Hope the update is imminent.

So many crashes. Lists all the “ended” items, but crashes before I even get to the “ending soon”. Basically about 45 seconds into any search, expect it to crash

Is the app still supported?. The last update was working great but it looks like it hasn't been updated since May 2017. BidFTA got a new website and the app is t pulling everything that is listed. Only getting a couple returns for basic searches. Is there a update coming soon? Thanks, Ryan

Obsolete. This app doesn’t work with Fast Track’s new bidding engine that was released Oct 1,2018. Don’t waste your money!

Just seeing a white screen. I have downloaded this app but unfortunately all I see is a white screen. Is there a new update to be aware of? Let me know where to go for help.

Excellent Web Crawler. Great.

Terrible after most recent update. The formatting is off, it no longer renders fully.

Unable to see donot waste your Money. This is a horrible app

What’s happened. The app isn’t working right anymore. It’s an hour behind the actual auction. And it isn’t showing all that’s available at the locations. Please fix it.

Horrible. This app is horrible don’t waste your money. Mine looks nothing like the preview. Hard to navigate.

Better than the website but.... This really needs the ability to filter by condition. So much time is wasted simply looking at items with conditions I do not want to bid on.

Not user friendly at all. Was hoping that this would be a mobile version of the actual Fast Track It web site but thats not the case. I was hoping for a mobile version that was user friendly and so that I could search, watch, bid and track items easily without having to be at my computer. 1. You can’t actually log in. 2. I can’t see the items I am watching that I saved on my desktop computer. 3. I when I do see something and use the go to bidfta.com button.. Well I might as well just go to safari and search it that way or sit down and use my computer. Giving it 1 start because I had to pay $2.99 and it’s not user friendly and not what it’s suppose to be.

Good interface, not great, but good. Update to fix daylight savings time difference, please! Keep the good changes coming! Please also create reminder options beyond 5 minutes.

SMS reminders now cost $10 a month?!!. Have love using the app for years but now the sms alerts cost $10 a month?!? What gives!

Search stopped working.. Worked the day I purchased it and hasn’t worked since. Please repair.

Crashes. I love the app but everything I click on crashes the app. Needs work but has the potential to be a great app.

Paid for this app and now they want more money. Charging in app fees after I paid for it and it wasn’t disclosed. Ape should refund all purchase fees. Fast track has become a total joke. Poorly managed. Crazy junk fees. Don’t use them.

Happy Customer. Great prices, easy to use site

Notify to bid. Excellent app but would like ability to receive a little more time before auction ends. Currently, only option is 1-5-10-30 min. 60 or more would give time to get back to computer to bid.

Not worth $. I am currently paying $2.99 a month for this app with no instructions on how to cancel. Please help!

Something change?. Used to be able to search but as of August 30th I am unable to see my watches items nor can I browse. Used to be a great app but not being able to search defeats the purpose of owning this app.

Notifications. With the new upgrade how do you subscribe to notifications?

Stopped working. Latest update seems to have killed it. Every search shows no results. Likes the app before.

Please update for new locations. App is great and I use weekly but BIDFTA added a handful of sites and I would love to have added to the app.

Such a a time saver!. I love this app-- it's kinda crazy it didn't exist earlier. Much easier to find and browse for the things you're actually looking for. There are a lot more features I'd like to see, but Im excited to see how the app improves overtime.

Some improvements perhaps.. App crashes a lot, does not always list all the items that are actually available from the site, can't save location. Improve this and it's pretty good! Also maybe add in being able to search for multiple items with multiple keywords

Better than the website. But just barely.

Updated. Make sure you update locations. Nothing tells you to do this, but is absolutely critical for app to function!

Don’t work. App no longer find anything. Items ending on website and you can search for it and the item can’t be found through this app.

Was five stars. When I downloaded this app it was God send. Now the search isn't find thing posted to their site feel issue. It giving me 5 minute warning on thing that already ended.

Super helpful app!. Love how easy this makes it to search

Works, Needs Improvement. Overall this app is decent. Serves its purpose. But considering I had to pay for it, I feel like it should offer more. It doesn't allow me to save my location search settings, which is probably my biggest inconvenience, having to select which locations every time I type a new search. Also some minor force closing. I would also suggest a category search option. Otherwise, it's an okay app.

NECESSARY. Bid FTA doesn't let you search its catalog and this app remedies that. My life will never be the same.

Frequent Crashes. The app frequently crashes making it unusable.

Do not buy stuff from fast track. Don’t buy anything for forgers fast track !!! Purchased electronics and it’s trash ! None work ! It’s a rip off !

Worth every penny. After bidding on FTA’s for years, I was telling my sister that they need an App where you can search for specific items and she told me they do! Not only has this app saved me a ton of time when I’m looking for something specific, but it’s also saved me a lot of money because I no longer bid on a bunch of random things I see while scrolling through auction after auction. Which is probably the very reason the owners of Bidfta.com didn’t purchase the app from the developer. Lol There are two things that I hope they will fix about the app, the first is the reason I came to do a review in the first place because it was driving me nuts! I wish it would allow the app to go horizontal on my iPad! I hate having to flip my iPad to the side so it’s up and down in order to use the app. It would also be nice if the items you save on the app would also save on your bidfta.com account. Each time I see something I’d like to save I have to hit the link to see it on bidfta then re-login each time. Overall this app is worth every penny! Thank you for developing it!

Not Working. The app isn’t allowing me to enter my bid number which means I can’t view what I’m bidding on. I pretty much wasted $2.99 on an app that doesn’t even work.

Best app EVER. This makes using bidfta so easy!! No more scrolling through pages of items to find the gems, now you can search for the items you're looking for. This app is genius.

Needs work.. Can't get back to the home page. Stuck on the search page.

Doesn't find items. Misses a lot of items. I know of multiple auctions where items I am interested in are and they don't show up in search. Waste of money. Wish I could get a refund.

Needs a little work. If you're looking for one thing in particular, this app is perfect. I would give 5 stars if you could just browse all items for a single or group of locations. Also search feature seems a little buggy and I've had a few app crashes. Keep improving! Most Recent update is crashing when trying to view my watched items. You can you your items but when you touch them the app crashes. Getting better though!

Broken. Vince , looks like something broke on accessing the auction pages. Starting about a week ago searches result in nothing found. Could it be they finally changed the format to enable the paid “black app”?

Log in. I can review items but if I want to view on Bid app, I ha e to log in every single time which gets old!!

cancel my card from this app. I hope they don't take more monthly money from my card, I bought this app today and there is nothing good, that's why I want to cancel my card from this application I hope it responds

Why charge. This app has everything the FREE app has...seems pointless

This app is horrible. Much easier to justLook through safari. You can’t even link your account to this app 👎🏻

Helpful, to an extent. While it is helpful, it has it's bugs. For instance, I set myself reminders on my watch list, but i've never received one notification 5 minutes before the bidding ends on a certain item. It also doesn't necessary have the time left to bid correct (it will say 5 hours when there are less than two hours at times) However, it beats the heck out of scrolling through the thousands of items on the website itself. It would be 5 star if it set notifications and actually gave notifications, incredible if you were able to log in to your bidder number and bid directly from the app (especially considering you have to pay for the app)
