1. 5/5Use the website instead

   Live Auctioneers has a very broad following from local auction houses all over the country. You are very likely to find something of interest through this organization. The app is really good for browsing auctions and looking for items of interest. However, the app is horrible when it comes to actually keeping up with a live auction. It has a really hard time staying active and notifications seem sporadic. If you have the time, you could just sit through an entire auction, but they usually last all day. This may not be a problem if you are retired but its otherwise frustrating. If you really care about the auction, you will save yourself a lot of stress by using the website on a desktop or laptop instead of this app on your phone. Keep a tab open and check back that way. Considering this is the granddaddy of live auction websites, the app is pretty disappointing.

2. 3/5A little shaky ...

   Excellent site except two big problems: if using your cell phone, the data speeds up or slows down depending on the cell tower being used for your call which means if you attempt to hit the ‘bid’ button with one bid amount being shown that the bid price can suddenly spike so that when you finish pressing said bid button you might very well be pressing the button for a bid you didn’t intend making - this happened to me where the intended $55 bid I was making suddenly spiked to $1050 as I pressed the bid button probably because the data transmission from the cell tower suddenly spiked. I immediately and frantically e-mailed this incident to the auctioneer web site. So that’s one issue. The second is that the auctioneer web site states the retract bid button is on the lower right of the web page during bidding. It is not. In fact no button is there that identifies itself as the stop bid button. As it turns out this ‘button’ is on the upper right edge as is represented as a vertical three dot sign. As least that’s how it appears on my iPhone screen. These issues need fixing. Other than that a great site.

3. 5/52019 App Update is Huge!

   The improvements to the app made in early 2019 are a huge improvement. The live bidding experience is richer (e.g. swipe photos, see item info while bidding) and you can now save searches in the mobile app (before you could only modify saved searches on the website). Many other thoughtful improvements, and I will note the competitors e.g. Invaluable have failed to keep up while others like Bidsquare still don’t even have an app (in 2019!). The folks at LiveAuctioneers are ahead of the pack and the latest updates demonstrate their commitment to investing in improving the app and making it easier to use and more powerful. Thank you.

4. 1/5Don't Ever Buy anything From this App

   Totally Fake & Scam! I brought a shoushan stone from this App under Jasper52 and When I received item, the item is different than the picture that they shown ,so I ask them what is going on, and come back said they are sent me the similar item with the same value, I mean this is totally fake and try to scam people, using a better picture to let the people bid and after someone won the bid then they told you that they can't sent you the item that you won but they are sending you a same value item, COME ON MEN Do Not Buy anything from here totally a set up, then after all this They are offer me 10 Dollar off, HAHA This is So Funny, or they offer me send the item back also telling me the way how they want me to sent back the Item this is ridiculous, and Funny! I don't want my money now I don't care, I just want to tell people this is a scam app and do not shop from here and teribble customer service!!! Thank you for reading!

5. 1/5Fraud

   They do not hold their auctioneers liable for the items that do not get sent to you. I spent a couple thousand dollars on two items. showed me where they had returned them to the auctioneer in the auctioneers per email. We’re supposed to look for them in their warehouse more than one occasion and then went cold for silent for several months and then finally replied back stating that USPS must have lost the items because they do not have them so I should file a claim with USPS instead of them taking ownership that day did not even look for the items because they were going to look in the warehouse and then over a month later reply back I will be in the warehouse on Monday. I will look for these items and then go silent after a few months and reply back. We don’t have these items you need to file a claim with USPS they neglected to ever look they lost the items as it was just small jewelry and never gave me a refund complete frauds
