Public Surplus Buyers App

I’ve been on this app for five years, and I would notice certain vehicles you could not bid moron because supposedly of an error at the three minute and six minute mark… or maybe I didn’t have reception that day even though I clearly did. But I noticed it was a common trend, and the same person kept winning. I contacted public surplus and told him I screen recorded the last three times. This issue occurred and that it was the same winner…. They never replied to my email. It’s rigged, but sometimes you find good deals on here too not all of them are rigged.

It’s almost as if PS have a milking cow and have decided not to improve this app. Improvements I will like to see. 1. Set my default State. I don’t wanna see the whole country pop up when I open the app. Give me the option to customise; to set a default State and limit searches to this state when I open the app. Thats what’s close to me and easy for me to get to. Most sellers don’t ship so I want to see what is near me by default EVERYTIME. 2. Make the app faster. It’s a snail. Maybe adding 1 could improve this. 3. The scroll is laggy. I have to be careful how I fast I scroll least it takes me back to the very top; undoing all my progress and leaving my thumb grumpy. 4. Zoom on pictures. Which century are we in? I have an iPhone app which can’t zoom in on pictures. I have to download the picture and zoom in. Laughable. Thank you Edit 1: Zoom feature added. It’s better than what existed before so i will take it. Panning on the zoom is archaic.

This app accomplishes the basic utility it seeks to fulfill - listing auction items to be bid on. I like the region selections and ability to search for specific items, but there is room for improvement when looking at individual listings. I have found it frustrating that when viewing photos, they are presented in a static fashion. You cannot pinch to zoom in to see a finer level of detail. The app also does not support landscape mode, which would help immensely when viewing a photo. Public surplus items are rarely top-notch quality, so as a potential buyer, it’s important that I’m well informed about the condition about the items I’m looking at. Photos that can be zoomed in and out on, panned across, and viewed in landscape would be a welcomed improvement.
