Reviews for Boat Trader

I have enjoyed looking for my next adventure this is a great app to get you connected to the boats and services needed

It needs a lot of work, and I'm not a fan. For instance. I can't search for a Seedo Switch. I have to use Google and then click on it from Google. I can't find these in BT. It's difficult to narrow searches down as price modifications are glitchy. I like just using FB Marketplace.

I love boats, and this is an easy to use venu for viewing what's available in the marketplace.

many choices 😊 to choose, I like that , priced to high for the older boats though could be more realistic people are not gonna get what thier asking for?!

if you're looking for service, use a different app, I have sent 4 message to boat trader expressing interest for a boat, had zero responses in 4 days. I sent one message to yacht word, they called me first thing in the morning!!! dont waste your time here . its a pity cause I really like the boat

The search is useless... I enter an amount within my budget but then it shows me 85 brand new boats that are listed "call for price"

I have found a boat I really liked through this app. Unfortunately that one didn't work out but with so many listings I know I'm likely to find the boat for me here.

Worthless search function, I type in a query and it goes nowhere. Important filters (drive type, engine manufacturer, etc) are missing. I can't imagine paying money to list your boat for sale on here; nobody's going to find your listing.

Search limitations have been called out in many reviews already: search resetting after viewing a vessel, unable to view photos full screen and have to manually zoom each photo one at a time- tedious, and the sliders for choosing criteria are way too touchy, unable to use text string search nor search a specific region. One criteria I would really like to filter by is the HP of the engine plus specify type ( inboard, outboard). A note for sellers to please proofread your AI slop for accuracy.

Consistently crashes when logged in. Seems stable when logged in as guest. UPDATE: I reinstalled the app and still crashes when I login.

time consuming. viewing boats you may do some quick research, well with the BT app, its going to take waaay longer than it should to the point where i just give up and leave the app. problem is the app refreshes to often, everytime you switch to another app, when you come back, you have to keep starting from scratch! very annoying and overly time consuming. i don't know who thought it was a good idea to implement this function. i bet there reason was to give g you current results. bad idea

I will try to explain an average search experience that makes working with this app so frustrating. PT. 1) Get an email from BT and see a boat that looks promising. *BAM* the 'open in app' popup obscures the page, so you'd think the app would open to the boat you are reading about in the email. It doesn't. So ... PT. 2) ready for the fact there is no connectivity between email and app, I have copied the exact title of the boat and paste it into the search function of the app, it returns 0 boats

I rarely review apps, but this one is a real pile. Login with oauth doesn't work. Search doesn't work; no results returned for anything. Browsing by category doesn't work. It's essentially totally useless. Perhaps I installed at a time their services are having an interruption, otherwise I can't understand how this would be useful for anything at all. Oh, the annoying ads do work. Btw, I develop apps like this for a living, so I know how to use my phone. Zero stars if it was possible.

The app is awful. I spent $160 on an enhanced listing. 1st I was only able to add 3 out of the 12 photos; 2nd- my boat was not listed properly on site, I can never find it. Everytime going into the app if I have saved something it is now gone so I waste time trying to find items previously saved. Waste of money and want a refund!!!

When I click on the email links, I never go to the actual boat, it just opens the main search screen and hardly ever opens the app. There are way too many ads on this app when sellers already have to pay to advertise their boat for sale.there is no way to filter out the boats that say "call for price " they even show up and clutter my list when I specify a price range. I can't put in an actual search string and search for that string. It makes me search for other criteria. More issues ....

App needs some work, it does not appear that a user can set a default search location, the apps default is to search for whatever is closest to you (this does not work for those of us that work on the road) App is slow and glitches when zooming in on the boat photos. A large majority of the boats for sale do not have a price listed (call for price) Whomever posts a boat for sale should know how to take good photos. (Ex/Remove the hood from the motor, overall photo of entire boat etc.)

Overall this app is good for looking at boat ads. Where it fails is having to sign in every few minutes to save boats you're interested in. I can't view more than a few before being asked to sign in again, and again, and again, and again. It wouldn't be a big deal if I at least went back to the pages I was viewing once I signed in, but I have to recreate my search all over again and try to find where I left off. This gets very frustrating very fast. Please fix.

The app is very glitchy, like every slider in the "Filter" kicks you out of the search if you try adjusting the length or price sliders. Also, the search isn't actually a search because you can't actually enter a search. You are able to type something and pick from a drop-down menu, but it won't let you custom search for specific models, you just have to hope that the model you're looking for appears in the drop-downs as an option and most of the time, it doesn't

The filtering system is garbage. I tried to search for a Tracker Pro Guide 175WT. I filtered specifically for this boat using the check boxes and applied. The search kept including pontoons, bass boats, and other boats that I wasn't interested in. It also did not include boats that I could see in the web page version. If you want me to use the app, then at least make it comparable to the web version. Realistically, it should be a better experience, but at a minimum, they should be the same.

I like this app because it's organized. it makes it easier to enjoy searching for what you really want so much information about the boat of your choice. great pics. And contacts..... right there along with descriptions of what your looking for. This app makes me want to buy 3 or 4 boats. 1 thing I noticed.... when you click on the the picture of the boat you want to check out, the tab doesn't go all the way down and it's discouraging . Other than that, good Job!!! Keep up the good work.
