Lease Exchange: Car Trader

No value. Not enough users. Difficulty to contact sellers directly. Also no data on what others have paid or what is available in market place. So no tools to adjust or determine if good deal or not. Also no tools for accomplishing this is best way - like standard forms. Then there is the misrepresentation of the site - they have very old cars - low inventory stale ads they don’t take them down for months. Like someone in October who is leaving the country has waited for four months and hasn’t left yet. Ridiculous. I will cancel. Good idea. Not working also not enough support.

The app loads a full-screen modal for its premium subscription, and there is no button to cancel out of the modal and use the app without subscribing. So you feel forced to subscribe in order to use it. After testing, I found that the cancel button on the subscription modal does exist, but it’s on a time delay and only appears after 20-30 seconds. It’s a faint purple X in the top left corner and is easy to miss. No one is going to sit on a screen for 20-30 seconds when they’re trying to use an app — they’ll just hit the subscribe button to keep going — and the developers know this. That’s the point. Any company that encourages dark patterns like this shouldn’t be trusted.

For some reason this app has an email address linked to me that’s not linked to my Apple ID, so for a week I’ve been trying to resolve this issue so they could take my money and I could contact car owners. There should be more payment options to avoid this glitch. Still can’t pay for it as it’s set up so I’ll never know if it’s a good option for taking over a lease or not.
