This used to be a great way to find deals, but only because of the infinite variety available. It's now locked down beyond any usefulness, and seemingly deliberately hard to use in order that you can't get to what used to be useful. I wanted to say that I'll never buy an app that takes away free features to make them premium, because the trust is gone and I'll expect them to charge more for them later instead of innovating something new when they want more money. But the paid membership seems to be just as bad from the reviews. This app is no longer worth the 60mb it's taking up on my phone.
So I understand why they force you to have an account and login so they can collect data to sell and make enough money to stay in operation. But now restricting you to only selecting two stores in some cases? And the app makes it impossible by any practical means to change your location if you want to search for a region where you may be traveling. This is just about the most convoluted useless app I’ve run across in the past few years. Come on guys, you can do better because in the past you did!
As a daily, extreme user of brickseek, and a committed subscriber to their premium services, I feel compelled to express my deep dissatisfaction with the latest update. The new navigation scheme is not just unintuitive; it’s a significant step backward in user experience. It seems evident that this update was insufficiently tested, if at all, with real users who rely on brickseek for their daily tasks. A beta rollout to a select group of users could have prevented many of these issues by gathering essential feedback on usability. Furthermore, the lack of an option to refrain from auto-updates or revert to the previous version exacerbates the situation. That earlier version was, without exaggeration, a hundred times easier to navigate. This update feels like a classic case of “fixing” something that wasn’t broken, to the detriment of your most loyal users.
