What users are saying

1. Also it does not support two apps open at the same time which is understandable but for such a big company you would think they would have simple issues like this resolved, guess not! Smh 3 stars!Every so often I'll try to search for vehicles and when I select all makes or any make at all it'll come back saying that there's no vehicles to show when I know that there's thousands.

2. Why do I even have it installed if it doesn't work? I'm going to uninstall it & wait a few months & use other car apps until the issues are resolved.App literally never works Carfax as a company and a website is great.

3. Deleting and reinstalling only sometimes works, but I'm not gonna waste my time doing that everytime I want to search for a car.

4. It seems to include only dealers willing to ante up, conflict? It has some SPOTTY dealers with not so good cars, no way for feedback to specific car, so others don't waste their time.

5. I've been using this app forever with random glitches for years & this is the first time the whole app just doesn't work.

6. I've tried different search options it says 0 results every single time.

7. When prompted the second time, I have to make sure I put in the exact same information or it will not show any vehicles.

8. If you're going to use this, set some time aside to keep going back n forth, playing with the settings.WOW!! I just downloaded this app and deleted it almost immediately when I looked at the security notification.

9. Sorry I don't value using carfax that much, I'll find another wayUsed to be the best app for cars, but after recent updates it has really gone down the drain.

10. Also, you set your search criteria for a specific make, model, transmission, and drivetrain, and 2 minutes later, it's showing you everything you don't want.

11. Had a few frustrations with search capabilities but was able to figure out the best way to enter searches and was satisfied with performance.
